While the teams behind "The Social Network" and "The King's Speech" are toasting their Oscar noms, another group of folks is also celebrating Tuesday morning's (January 25) Academy Award nominations announcement. The cast and crew of "The Fighter" earned seven nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director (David O. Russell), Best Supporting Actor (Christian Bale), and two Best Supporting Actress nods for Amy Adams and Melissa Leo.
MTV News spoke with "Fighter" producer and Relativity Media CEO Ryan Kavanaugh (Relativity fully produced and financed the film) just after he heard the big news.
"When I got the news, I was on the phone with David O. Russell and [Mark] Wahlberg and myself, kinda watching and I think you could hear screaming through each house," he said of their reactions. "The person I'm most excited for is David O. Russell because he really deserved it, he really delivered this package. He's obviously had his ups and downs in his career, as many people have. He really came through on this movie and it's nice that the Academy noticed that for him."
Kavanaugh's fellow producer and the star of the film, Mark Wahlberg, also praised the director and his co-stars in a statement: "It has been such an incredible journey with 'The Fighter' and one that I am grateful to share with David O. Russell, Christian, Melissa, Amy, my fellow producers and the Ward and Eklund families, who are the heart and soul of the film. Thank you to the Academy for this tremendous honor."
Regarding Adams' and Leo's dual nominations in the Best Supporting Actress category, the Relativity Media CEO said the actresses won't be thinking about competition at all.
"It's funny because I think Amy and Melissa, they're just as happy if the other one wins," he said. "They are competing against each other but at the same time, I think they're both really happy for the other one."
Kavanaugh went on to say that although he'd like to go back to bed — Oscar nominations were announced at 5:30 a.m. on the West Coast — he has a long day of work and, later, congratulating to do.
"I've got a pretty full day coming up. I'll stop by Mark's house, I'll stop by David's house, give 'em both a big hug," he said. "[I'll] try and stop by Christian's house although he's probably holed up and won't even turn on the TV until 10 a.m."

Adam Lambert's 'Whole Lotta Love': The Story Behind The Cover
Glam rocker tackled the legendary 1970 Led Zeppelin song for 'American Idol' rock night.

Imagine a freight train speeding toward you at midnight. Or a rockslide barreling down a hill as you try to outrace it. That's the feeling of the ominous, chugging Jimmy Page riff that kicks off Led Zeppelin's 1970 Stonehenge of rock, "Whole Lotta Love." And that's before singer Robert Plant leans into one of the nastiest, ecstatic rock screams this side of the Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again."
That's the song Adam Lambert chose to sing on "American Idol" rock night Tuesday (May 5), and, needless to say, it was a challenge that the eyeliner-loving Los Angeles stage veteran was more than up for, hitting a series of high notes and rock screams that would have made Plant proud. It was a risky maneuver that paid off for Lambert, who chose a tune that came in at #75 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" in 2004.
The legendary British rock act recorded the tribute to Chicago blues icon Willie Dixon during their second U.S. tour after working it out in their live show, including it on their 1969 classic album Led Zeppelin II. Like many of the songs Zeppelin performed early in their career, "Love" was a blues standard turned on its head with a heavy dose of crunching psychedelic guitar and thundering drums, courtesy of late drummer John Bonham. The song was based on a 1962 tune by another blues forefather, Muddy Waters, called "You Need Love," which was penned by Dixon.
For Zeppelin's version, Plant customized the lyrics by adding some lyrical quotes from a few other songs Dixon wrote for Howlin' Wolf, "Back Door Man" and "Shake For Me," nailing the tricky vocal in a single take. It was also inspired by 1966's "You Need Loving" from the British rock group the Small Faces, for whom Zeppelin had great affection, but they also did not credit Dixon for his part in writing the original lyrics. The song became Zeppelin's first U.S. single and their only U.S. top 10 hit. Though their manager would not let them release singles in the U.K. because he thought it cannibalized album sales, the song was finally released as the band's only British single in 1997.
Dixon sued Zeppelin over the song in 1985, claiming it borrowed too heavily from his "You Need Love," and Zeppelin reached an agreement with him, with Dixon using the money he received to set up a program that provided musical instruments for schools. A cornerstone of heavy rock, the tune -- which was the theme song for the long-running British countdown show "Top of the Pops" in the 1970s and '80s -- has been covered by dozens of artists over the years, from Tina Turner and Ben Harper to Prince, Slash, Leona Lewis, Train's Pat Monahan, the London Symphony Orchestra and Jane's Addiction.

A Tribe Called Quest Doc Director Pumped For Film's Sundance Debut
Michael Rapaport says premiering at 2011 Sundance Film Festival was his 'personal goal.'

A Tribe Called Quest fans can officially rejoice: The documentary chronicling the group's rise to fame as well as their legacy has been accepted into the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. Held in Park City, Utah, the gathering is where Michael Rapaport, director of the documentary, cut his teeth in the film world.
"My personal goal for the movie was always to premiere it at Sundance Film Festival," he said. "I've always had affection for the festival: The first time I ever saw myself in a movie was in 1992 at the world premiere of my first movie, 'Zebrahead.' I couldn't be happier. For me, it's the premier film festival."
"Beats, Rhymes and Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest," which has drawn scrutiny from group member Q-Tip, boasts a rough and ready quality found in previous documentaries about legendary bands such as Led Zeppelin and the Beatles.
"I wanted it to be a classic rock-and-roll-style documentary," Rapaport said. "If you grew up listening to hip-hop and you were around A Tribe Called Quest, it was a part of your life.
"They are the equivalent to Led Zeppelin, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. I've been fans of those groups and fans of documentaries about those groups for a long time, and when I approached doing this film, I wanted to treat it in the same way. I didn't want it to be over-produced; I wanted it to have a rawness to it."
As for who stops by to chat about the group, Rapaport lined up a storied list of talent: "I shot Pharrell, ?uestlove and Black Thought from the Roots, obviously Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Mos Def, Monie Love, the Jungle Brothers, Too Short, Ludacris ... a bunch of people," he said. "All of those people pop up in one incarnation or another."

Robert Pattinson Gets 'Hassled Too Much,' Garrett Hedlund Says

Garrett Hedlund has already scored some unforgettable memories on the set of his Beat Generation flick "On the Road," but getting heartthrob tips from co-star Kristen Stewart's rumored flame Robert Pattinson is not among them.
MTV News caught up with the "Country Strong" actor on the Golden Globes red carpet Sunday (January 16), and while he admitted that they chopped it up when Pattinson popped by the "Road" set to visit his lady friend, he didn't score any gems on how to handle his budding screen-idol status.
"You're trying to milk me for great little things; I got nothing on it," Hedlund shrugged to MTV News' Josh Horowitz. "He'd come out to set a couple times and visit. It was great."
The "Tron Legacy" actor had fun hanging out with the world's most famous onscreen vampire, but added that he sympathized with all the attention Pattinson has to grapple with constantly.
"People just sort of hassle him around too much," he said. "He's a good guy, real good guy, and he gets a lot of people following him around. It's not an easy thing."
Aside from seeing the effects of "Twilight" mania up close, Hedlund recently dished that filming "Road" had some trippy moments, including the last night of production when the actor spent time with 89-year-old Carolyn Cassady, the real-life inspiration for the book's character Camille.
"She was just so wonderful and so genuine to all of us and so happy to be there. At the end of the dinner, me and Sam Riley ... walked her hand in hand up to Vesuvio's, the bar where all these guys used to drink at. I remember the sole of her shoe had sort of come undone and started flapping, but I took off my boot and took off one of the socks and put it over the shoe so it intacted the sole. So we kept on walking," he said. "It's such an incredible, mind-blowing night."

Golden Globe Awards Belong To 'The Social Network' And 'Glee'
'The Kids Are All Right,' 'The Fighter,' 'Boardwalk Empire' also garner multiple awards.

When the final glasses of champagne had been drained at the 68th Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night (January 16), "The Social Network" and "Glee" sauntered away as the night's big winners. Nominated in six categories, "Social Network" won four awards, including Best Motion Picture - Drama, Best Director for David Fincher, Best Screenplay for Aaron Sorkin and Original Score. And honored in five separate categories, Fox's hit musical comedy collected three trophies: Best Comedy Series, Supporting Actor (Chris Colfer) and Actress (Jane Lynch).
Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical went to "The Kids Are All Right," one of two awards the film won. In the major TV categories, freshman HBO series "Boardwalk Empire" won Best Drama, while the "Glee" win marked the show's second-straight Best Comedy award.
To begin the evening, host Ricky Gervais had a beer waiting for him on the podium and took a slug from the sudsy glass before he even opened his mouth. It was just that kind of party. "It's going to be a night of partying and heavy drinking. Or, as Charlie Sheen calls it, breakfast," he joked, setting the tone for a raunchy and fearless emcee performance from start to finish.
Long an Oscar front-runner, Natalie Portman won Best Actress - Drama for "Black Swan" and delivered one of the show's most memorable acceptance speeches. Sporting a noticeable baby bump, she addressed fiancé and co-star Benjamin Millepied, thanking him for helping her create new life and referencing his line in the movie about not wanting to have sex with her character. "It's not true," she laughed. "He totally wants to sleep with me!"
Another Oscar fave, Colin Firth was honored as best dramatic actor for "The King's Speech." Calling himself out for thus far avoiding a midlife crisis, the 50-year-old actor cradled his award and joked, "This is all that stands between me and a Harley-Davidson."
Check out photos of the Golden Globe winners.
In one of the night's few upsets, Johnny Depp lost out on the best comedic actor award for his turn in "Alice in Wonderland," as Paul Giamatti ("Barney's Version") triumphed in that category. Generally, though, the Globes affirmed more awards-season conventional wisdom than it did recalibrate sentiment surrounding next month's Oscar ceremony.
Early on, Christian Bale took home the first Globe of the night, nabbing Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture for "The Fighter," a win that had been widely predicted. "You can only give a loud performance like the one I gave when you have a quiet anchor," he said, complimenting Mark Wahlberg's contribution to the film.
Widely predicted, as well, was Annette Bening's best comedic win for "The Kids Are All Right." Fighting off a shaky voice, she spoke movingly about bringing a warts-and-all portrait of a lesbian couple to the big screen. Later in the show, Melissa Leo bounded up onto the stage after nabbing best dramatic supporting actress for "The Fighter." "Look, Mom, I got a Golden Globe!" she squealed.
When it came to perhaps the show's two most anticipated presenters — Justin Bieber and Robert Pattinson — neither man was given much to do onstage. Taking a break from shooting "Breaking Dawn," RPattz uttered just a handful of words while presenting the award for Best Foreign Language Film. And if anyone was hoping to hear Bieber crack a joke or two before introducing the award for Best Animated Feature, his fans were left disappointed. Alongside "True Grit" star Hailee Steinfeld, the teen heartthrob simply introduced the nominees and announced the winner, "Toy Story 3," with a smile. Accepting the statue was director Lee Unkrich, who turned to the presenters and asked, "Were you two even born when the first 'Toy Story' came out?" (For the record, Bieber was born a year before the film's 1995 release.)
Many of the TV categories were dominated by a large slate of first-time winners and newcomers to the small screen. In addition to the "Boardwalk Empire" win, Katey Sagal ("Sons Of Anarchy") won best dramatic actress and Steve Buscemi ("Boardwalk Empire") took home best dramatic actor, while Jim Parsons ("The Big Bang Theory") won best comedic actor and Laura Linney ("The Big C") won best comedic actress (though she was not in-house to accept, as her father, the playwright Romulus Linney, passed away over the weekend).
Robert De Niro was this year's Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award honoree. Taking the stage after a hilarious introduction from Matt Damon, De Niro delivered an amusing, self-deprecating speech, touting some of his achievements and laughing about others, like this year's "Little Fockers," that will not be as fondly remembered. Those less-lauded flicks, he joked, have been collected in a box set, which he promised to sell in the lobby after the show.
