A poster for Anna’s upcoming film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World has been spotted at a movie convention. It features Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim (Anna plays his little sister Stacy), rocking out, with the tagline ‘An Epic of Epic Epicness’. {Scott Pilgrim Movie Poster Discovered at ShoWest}
This week’s Magazine round-up has no less than 3 Oscar features from US Weekly, as well as a feature on the making of Anna’s Oscar gown from People, and a Portuguese interview with Altrevida (translators)? :
Image updates from recent events include HQ Oscar stuffs, Glamour Magazine Celebration, as well as a new fan photo from the Oscar luncheon, where Anna was seen chatting with Mario Lopez at the Beverly Hills Hotel lobby :
In this new Behind the Scenes look at New Moon, Life After Twilight, Anna mentions how grateful she is of being able to bring Stephanie Mayer’s ‘Jessica Stanley’. This comes from the Special Features in the New Moon DVD, which will be available in the U.S. March 20. Make sure to view the newly released Eclipse trailer, too! :
No humans yet, but I’m sure we’ll start seeing Anna as Jessica in Eclipse shortly!
I thought this might be coming! Anna is in Tokyo promoting Up in the Air, which comes out in Japan March 20. At a press conference for the film, she looked ecstatic answering questions and receiving a gift (toe socks!) from Japanese actor Junichi Ishida. Singer-songwriter Kevin Renick was also there performing from the UIA soundtrack. 100+ photos have been added to the gallery, including 10 High Qualities :
Anna also wrote a recent tweet about how much she loves Tokyo — of course she would, it’s so Anna! Here’s an HQ photo of cherry blossoms she posted:
Hope the Tokyo trip isn’t interfering with her ‘I’m with Cancer’ shoot though :-O!
Deleted Scenes include a drunk Natalie explaining how to play a drinking game during and making out at the office party, an extended karaoke scene, and office scene where the boss tells Natalie the fate of the first woman she fired. In the commentary, Jason Reitman notes that a ton of people wanted to be “make-out Dave” because he has few lines, and just got to party with Anna all day on set . He also mentions that Anna was very attached to her character, and was hesitant about showing the vulnerable side of Natalie during the breakdown scene, which IMO is the best scene in the film.
More images have been added to Anna’s arrival in Vancouver, where she posed with a look-a-like fan and smiled for the Papz. Additionally, there are now 4 Ultra High Quality Candids of Anna leaving Mr. Chow restaurant February 27, which looks to be the same day as the Zac Posen ‘Z Spoke’ launch. There are also a few various new photos such as a new outtake from the Tyler Shields shoot, and 1 more from a Pre-Oscar Party, where Anna poses with her Up in the Air fling actor Adam Rose:
The magazine rounds this week include a new interview in Ocean Drive, UK’s Hello, and (eek!) a very wrong fashion police in US Weekly:
Up in the Air on DVD came out in the states March 9 — expect screencaps soon Anna also just wrote a new tweet saying she’s leaving Vancouver for Tokyo?! Wonder if it’s for a scene in ‘I’m with Cancer’?
Anna was spotted arriving in Vancouver, Canada yesterday in a blue corduroy coat. She’s going to continue filming the Untitled Seth Rogen Project, tentatively called ‘I’m with Cancer,’ with new lead actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Eclipse co-star Bryce Dallas Howard:
Anna also wrote a cute new tweet about being in Vancouver, noting that it’s her second home since she film’s there so much:
Ah… home sweet second-home. Nothing like being back at work, especially back in Canada. *rock-star-voice* GOODNIGHT!
James Mcavoy left the Cancer project as not to miss his babies birth, and has been replaced with actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Other new casting news includes Angelica Huston and Philip Baker-Hall. Also really interesting is Jessica Parker Kennedy is listed as ‘Jackie’ on IMDB. Jessica was Anna’s co-star in the Spirit Box episode of Fear Itself – I wonder if connections to Anna helped .
Make sure to check out this sick 360 panorama photo of Anna posing on the Red carpet — it’s like you’re really there! There’s also one from the nominee’s ceremony.

The Insider:
Quinton Aaron almost ran over Anna Kendrick as she is so much tinier than him at the party. When chatting Anna told Quinton how much smaller she was than him, and he could not even hear her because of the height difference so she kept repeating herself. {Qvc Red Carpet Style Party For Oscars}
NY Times:
Anna Kendrick of “Up in the Air,” nominated for best supporting actress, brought her mother as her date. “She’s definitely pulled the, ‘I carried you for nine months, I’m going to the Oscars’ card,” Ms. Kendrick said. She described the grueling awards season as “the scariest thing I’ve ever done,” and said she was looking forward to it ending. “I’m definitely looking forward to having the biggest plate of mac and cheese I can find tonight,” she said. {Awards for ‘Up’ and ‘The Hurt Locker’ }
Fox News:
…When she heard she was nominated she “celebrated with a lot of food and champagne – at 5 in the morning, it was still dark out!”
“This film has been a whole different ball game,” said Anna, who also stars in the ‘Twilight’ saga. “It was the only film I’ve done that i was the youngest person on set.”
And it turns out the young star was one of the old pros when it comes to red carpets.
“Twilight” star Robert Pattinson has seen the “Eclipse” trailer set to premiere during his flick “Remember Me,” out in theaters Friday. And Kellan Lutz promised that the flick itself will be very “badass.” But it seems like Oscar nominee Anna Kendrick has yet to be treated to the trailer for the flick.
At the very least, she knows that it will look “beautiful,” based on the work cinematographer Javier Aguirresarobe did on “New Moon.” “I haven’t actually [seen the trailer yet],” Kendrick told MTV News on the Oscars red carpet on Sunday. “I trust that it will look very beautiful. It’s the same cinematographer as last time, so at least we know it will look beautiful.” … {‘Eclipse’ Trailer Will Be ‘Beautiful,’ Anna Kendrick Imagines}
MTV:
“I’m still undecided about 3-D, personally,” the Oscar nominee told MTV News on the red carpet at the Academy Awards on Sunday (March 7). “But obviously they don’t consult me personally on whether or not ‘Breaking Dawn’ is going to be in 3-D.” {Anna Kendrick Is ‘Undecided’ About Filming ‘Breaking Dawn’ In 3-D}
Digital Spy:
…When asked by Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush on the red carpet whether she thought Efron or Clooney was hotter, she replied: “I am not answering that question!… Neither of them are my type!”
She added: “I kind of like, just a sweet guy. Just a kind of dorky, sweet guy. In the best way… I mean, not that George isn’t dorky! He can be dorky!”… {Anna Kendrick ‘likes sweet, dorky guys’}
Style
Anna’s stylist and make-up artist talked to MTV about Anna’s dress (Elie Saab), hair, and make-up:
“Up In The Air” star and Oscar Nominee Anna Kendrick looked like a delicate flower just plucked from the earth in her off-the-shoulder blush Elie Saab gown tonight. She said that the frock was a last-minute decision (she was going to wear a dark blue one instead), but we are so, so happy the spunky actress went with something so sweet.
…
Her fresh makeup added to her winning look and we’ve got all the details on how to recreate her canvas. According to a release, makeup artist Sara Glick, who used Arcona skincare and tarte cosmetics, first prepped Anna’s skin with Arcona’s Magic White Ice hydrating gel. “Anna has beautiful skin and doesn’t need much to make it glow,” Sara said. …{Anna Kendrick At The 2010 Oscars: Get The Look!}
Mo’nique wins the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Supporting role for Precious. Despite Mo’nique beating Anna in every awards show they were both nominated for, Anna looked happy (albeit nervous) as her Oscar nomination was announced:

Quotes:
Mo’Nique and “Up in the Air” actress Anna Kendrick bumped into each other on the red carpet, but there wasn’t even the tiniest hint of animosity between the two best supporting actress nominees. – CNN
“He told me at the beginning which awards shows were fun and which were nerve-wracking,” Kendrick told CNN. “He said that the Oscars were nerve-wracking, unfortunately.” -CNN
Meanwhile Up In the Air star Anna Kendrick, nominated for best supporting actress, revealed she had suffered a last minute wardrobe crisis before finally settling on her pink gown.
“I never thought I would wear pink,” Kendrick said. “It was just the right dress.” – Morning Herald
Yay, it’s Oscar day! While Anna is probably ‘freaking out’ and getting ready with her mom and brother, here’s a newly released article about how Anna feels about her Up in the Air nom:
Anna Kendrick doesn’t expect to win an Oscar for her ferociously perky supporting turn as a corporate terminator in Jason Reitman’s “Up in the Air.” That, she says, is an honor earmarked for another actress, though she coyly declines to reveal the mystery winner’s identity.
Even if Kendrick, 24, is right, it would take nothing away from her remarkable breakthrough starring opposite George Clooney in Reitman’s meditation on the value of human contact in an age of digital communication. Nor would it diminish the impact of her scene-stealing performance as a vapid, shopping-obsessed teen in one of the year’s biggest blockbusters, “New Moon.”
“As far as Vera and I go, I was floored simply by the idea of getting to work with her,” Kendrick says. “The idea that I’d be nominated for any award in the same category as her is amazing to me. I couldn’t be happier about it.”
…
In the meantime, she’ll bask in the glow of the Oscar spotlight, while it lasts.
“I think of something Helen Mirren said at the Palm Springs Film Festival,” she says. “You’re only in the nomination bubble for a short period of time, and if you lose, the bubble bursts that night. If you win, it bursts 24 hours later. Either way, you go home, live your life and wake up the next day looking for work. That’s how I look at it.” {Oscar nom not changing Kendrick’s plans }
