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:

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 .

I’ve also added lots more Oscar photos including High Quality Red carpet, Show, Press Room, Backstage, and the Vanity Fair After Party, as well as media and press from the round-up post.

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.

Anna attended the QVC Pre-Oscar Party Friday night, where she is seen posing with Quenton Aaron and Eli Roth:

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.

“It’s a little crazy,” she said. “But once you’ve been to a ‘Twighlight’ red carpet, you’re a pro.” {RED CARPET EXCLUSIVE: Anna Kendrick says Oscar red carpet is nothing compared to ‘Twilight’}

MTV:

“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:

CONGRATULATIONS ANNA!

Anna’s arrived to the 82nd Annual Academy Awards looking pretty all over in a pinned updo and champagne gown :

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 }

I’ve also added lots of High Qualities to the recent Pre-Oscar parties:

Awesome new interview with the NYPost, where Anna reveals what’s on her iPod and why:

PopWrap: What song helps you relax after a day of trying on countless dresses?
Anna Kendrick: “Fire Department” by Be Your Own Pet. Not actually a relaxing song, but I play it as loud as I can when I get frustrated with the vanity aspects of the whole process.

PW: How about when you just need a moment to escape?
Anna: “A Ramble In St. James Park” by Michael Nyman. An absolutely gorgeous piece of music from “The Libertine” score that I fell in love with when I bought the “Man On Wire” soundtrack. This song feels like it could suspend time.

PW: Is there a song you listen to in the car to mentally prepare for the flashbulb onslaught?
Anna: “Help I’m Alive” by Metric. I’m a diehard fan of anything Emily Haines touches and this song completely speaks to how I feel before I have to step onto a red carpet.

PW: What’s your most played song right now?
Anna: “Hard Time Killing Floor Blues” by Chris Thomas King. I saw “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” again recently and this song hit me like a ton of bricks. I guess when I first saw it at 14, I was only paying attention to the girls’ songs.

PW: If one song could be played while you were actually posing on the red carpet, what would it be?
Anna: “The Boss” by James Brown. Another great song off a great soundtrack. As a film, “Black Caesar” is sort of insane but the soundtrack is amazing. This song makes me feel more confident that I ever really should

PW: What’s the most surprising song on your iPod?
Anna: “Get It Together” by The Beastie Boys. Perhaps not so surprising that it’s on my iPod but that I’ve had it memorized since I was 13, an age I thought anything my older brother was listening to was worthy of vigilant study. {Anna Kendrick’s Red Carpet Survival Playlist}

The NYPost also did an interview with Anna in January, which I’m not sure was posted or not :

PW: 2009 was a huge year for you with “Up in the Air,” “New Moon” and most importantly getting spoofed on “Saturday Night Live”!
Anna: Oh, that was so cool! I was actually surprised they hadn’t done that earlier. I mean, there’s a lot of material to work with in “Twilight,” so I feel like we kind of got off easy. But I’d see “Firelight”!

PW: Although everyone is just catching on now, I’ve loved your work since “Camp” — which just looks like it was such a fun movie to make!
Anna: Oh, thank you so much! That was — I was attached to that movie when I was 13 years old, but it didn’t get made until four years later. So Todd Graff [writer/director] said, “although it’s not age specific, the role is yours if you still want it.” It’s like, are you kidding … if I want it?

PW: And you did all your own singing as Fritzi, any aspirations to star in a movie musical?
Anna: Yeah, sure! I think there will always be a part of me that wants to sing and dance, so I’m glad there’s this new wave of musicals.

PW: What would your dream musical be?
Anna: Unfortunately, my favorite musical is “Parade” — which is like the weirdest, darkest musical that would never get financed. And there’s not quite a role for me, but I want that to be a movie so badly!

PW: With all this craziness, is there something you like to do to unwind or de-stress?
Anna: I make a mean flourless hazelnut chocolate tort. Yeah, that’s right — take that! [laughs]

PW: That sounds really elaborate!
Anna: It’s fun to do something simple and rustic like peanut butter and oatmeal squares that feel like they should be at a potluck dinner, but I like to challenge myself. I have to go at my own pace through, that’s the beauty of baking. I like to take my sweet time. {Anna Kendrick: No one’s louder than ‘Twilight’ fans!}

Here’s Anna at Glamour Magazine’s “Most Glamorous” Issue, discovering she was just named one of their ‘Most 50 Glamorous’, and talking Acceptance Speeches and After Parties:

Anna was on double-duty tonight as she attended both Vanity Fair And BMW’s The Art of Elysium “Pieces of Heaven” Art Auction, and later stopped by Louis Vuitton And Glamour’s Celebration of The Magazine’s “Most Glamorous” Issue! She looks stunning considering Oscar madness (just two more days ), and it looks like BF Edgar Wright is there to support her! You can see him behind Anna leaving The Pieces of Heaven Art Auction :

Pre-Oscar Poolside Party (update) X07

Anna was snapped walking to ‘Book Soup’ in West Hollywood yesterday afternoon. In yesterday’s People interview, Anna mentioned that she was reading a lot to take her mind off the Oscars on Sunday:

I always love seeing new photos of Anna, but here and in a couple of the paparazzi ones from last time, she’s starting to look kind of sad. I hope the papz aren’t intruding in on her privacy too much :-/!

Anna attended a Pre-Oscar Poolside Party today at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel. The party was a benefit for The Red Cross Haiti & Chile Relief Fund, and other guests included Isabelle Fuhrman (posing with Anna), Jane Fonda, Jordana Brewster and Bristol Palin:

People:

“It’s been physically more uncomfortable than I expected it to be! You want your waistline to be just so, and I’m always trying to look taller than I am –so I’m always in something that’s a little snug or a little too tall.” And while she admits one secret weapon she’s used is Spanx, her main concern for Sunday is finding a pair of shoes that won’t hurt. “I’m just trying to sift through what heels are more comfortable on my feet. Certain Jimmy Choos and Sergio Rossi shoes are really comfortable, but it varies from shoe to shoe, so it’s kind of hit and miss, trial and error.”

So while her style needs are at fever pitch, the Best Supporting Actress nominee says: “I keep trying to immerse myself in something that doesn’t have anything to do with the movie or awards season.” And that includes reading books and preparing for her mom’s arrival from Maine to attend the telecast with her. We can’t wait to see what Anna will choose for the red carpet on Sunday {Anna Kendrick on Trying to Look Taller and Finding Her Perfect Oscars Heels}

E Online:

You’ve already been to every awards show this season—Globes, Critics, SAG Awards—are you doing anything different to prepare for Sunday?

I pushed my hair and makeup and everything forward an hour so I would just have a buffer of time to freak out, where I won’t have anyone touching me.

Smart move. Are you going to be talking with George Clooney, who is quite Oscar experienced, or the rest of the Up in the Air crew before you hit the carpet? Or do you need them out of your head before such a big night?

I don’t know yet! I think we’re all kind of…at this point we’re so used to doing it as a team and together. It’s easier to at least know what to expect because we’re all going to be there for each other. {How Anna Kendrick Will Handle Oscar “Freak-Out”}

I think the outfit is just a tad risky, but Anna looks flawless none the less. I also have some brand new candids for you that I will post when I’m back from classes (I know, hard to believe, but some fansite owners actually have lives )!
