Nanocrowd, the movie search engine, recently published results of their analysis of the most overdue Oscar nominees. Robin Wright Penn topped the list for Most Overdue Best Actress and Leonardo DiCaprio got the nod for Most Overdue Best Actor.
“At Nanocrowd, we analyze movie viewers’ comments to understand how they reacted to movies in order to recommend movies that people will love,” said Roderic March, CEO of Nanocrowd. “We analyzed these same comments to determine which actors and directors should be the most likely to win Academy Awards and then from that analysis determined who has been overlooked by the Academy and is overdue for an Oscar.”

Every pilot-casting season starts with a flurry of offers to a handful of actors who quickly become the season’s most sought-after leads.
The hottest names at the top of pilot wish lists this year include Julianne Moore, Maria Bello, Christina Applegate, Matt Dillon and Jason Isaacs. All have received multiple offers.
The Oscar-nominated Moore, who successfully tested the TV waters with a guest-starring turn on NBC’s “30 Rock,” has been pursued for at least two pilots so far: NBC’s “Prime Suspect” remake and another redo, ABC’s direct-to-series “Scoundrels,” based on the New Zealand series “Outrageous Fortune.”
Both projects, as well as NBC’s “Chase,” a Jerry Bruckheimer-produced fugitive-apprehension drama pilot, are showcases for a strong female lead character, which explains the producers’ desire to go after accomplished actresses.
Bello also has been approached for the role originated by Helen Mirren in “Prime Suspect,” while “Scoundrels” also went after Demi Moore.

I was just browsing for Maria news, and came across a mention of her name in an interview with Michael Sheen.
Question: Who do you play in “Beautiful Boy”?
Sheen: It’s me and Maria Bello, and we play a married couple who have a son who gets involved in a sort of Columbine-type shooting.

I’ve never heard anything about this project til now – did I miss something? So I decided to search around for any more information on this project, and here’s what I’ve come up with:
CS: Do you have anything else that you’re going to be shooting next?
Michael Sheen: I’m doing a film called “Beautiful Boy.” We’re shooting it in Los Angeles in November. It’s a very small independent film, a first-time director. He’s written it as well, and it’s about the parents of a kid who goes into a school and shoots (people) and then kills himself. It’s about the parents and how they sort of deal with it afterward.
CS: Wow, so that’s going to be a big change as well.
Sheen: Hm, yeah. Me and Maria Bello. Yeah, and then “New Moon” comes out in November and “Alice,” “Tron,” “Unthinkable”…

Film.com reports Maria will be making a guest appearance during the current, final season of ER:
Besides, he’s already got Noah Wyle coming back on the final episode to wrap up the show, and assorted appearances by other former cast members including Maria Bello and Eriq La Salle.
“You don’t have to have everyone coming back for the party,” Wells says.
Perhaps not everyone, but a good portion of the old crew pops up throughout the final season of ER which in its first seven seasons was television’s most watched drama.
I haven’t heard anything about this elsewhere, so I don’t know whether it’s true. If anyone watches ER then be sure to let me know if Maria pops up!!

Maria Bello says she “thanks God” for the second chances she’s been given throughout her life.
The actress hit the red carpet in Beverly Hills wearing a borrowed little black dress for the LA premiere of her movie The Yellow Handkerchief.
“It’s YSL,” she explained. “I borrowed it from a friend because I had no time to find anything.”
The film, which also stars William Hurt, deals with getting a second chance in life, which Maria joked she’s had plenty of: “I have been given a lot of second chances, I’m happy to say.”
“I think it’s when you wake up one day and you realise you didn’t do something exactly how you wish you would have done it and for me then it’s about getting on my knees and praying to God to give me a second chance.”
“Whenever I do that he gives me one,” she added. “Thank God, cos I need a lot of them!”
Having appeared in her first Hollywood blockbuster this year – The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor – The Yellow Handkerchief sees Maria back in the independent film arena.
“I like both,” she explained. “It was a dream of mine to do an action adventure and I did it, but this is sort of my heart, character driven movies are the thing I’m always drawn back to.”

We usually see Towelhead’s Maria Bello in small-type flicks like A History of Violence or her Oscar-nom’d turn in The Cooler. What’s her hang-up with H’wood? Is she afraid she’d be cheating on independent film if she scored a big-budget part as Wonder Woman or something? “It’s not so much that my heart belongs to independent movies,” said M.B. at the creepy new flick’s premiere. “I’m interested in good roles for women. And perhaps more studio roles are starting to get better for women, I’m not sure.” Stick with what you’re doing, Bel-babe, it’s working.
