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’?

Candids: Anna @ Vancouver Airport for ‘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 ;) .

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.

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!}

And the Winner is . . .

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:

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

Oscar Countdown: Oscar nom not changing Kendrick’s plans

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:

Oscar Countdown: Anna Kendrick’s Red Carpet Survival Playlist

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!}

Candids: Walking to Book Soup

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 :-/!
