Is the Hurt Locker going to beat Avatar to the best motion picture Oscar?

Launch Cooliris and check out the new Oscars 2010 channel to find out the latest news on the 82nd Academy Awards. Unlike previous years, this time there are 10 movies nominated in the Best Motion picture category. Up, the animated feature from Pixar, is contending shoulder to shoulder with blockbusters like Avatar and Inglorious Bastards. This is also the first time that a woman, Hurt Locker’s Kathryn Bigelow, has been nominated for best director.

The ceremony will be this Sunday at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT. Cooliris will be providing you with the red carpet coverage as well as up-to-the-minute updates on the winners.

We have just launched a Haiti Relief channel to bring you the latest developments from the tragedy in Haiti. As rescue work is still under way and relief efforts are just taking off, many dramatic images and heartbreaking stories are unfolding in front of the world media.

Also, whenever you launch Cooliris from Facebook or visit the Haiti Relief channel, you’ll see ads for Partners in Health’s Stand with Haiti campaign. Please consider donating to Partners in Health – a non-profit who has been working on the ground in Haiti for the past 20 years and is participating in the current relief efforts, and help those affected by the devastating earthquake!

The Fall lineup is rolling out their premieres all this month. Get ready for brand new seasons of your favorite shows, like The Office, Dancing with the Stars, and SNL. Personally, I can’t wait for House: I’m partial to any show with a brilliant but belligerent protagonist, and they’re starting this season with House’s role reversal from doctor to patient.

Thanks to Hulu, all the big names of Fall from Fox, NBC, and ABC will be watchable on Cooliris. Our latest Channel, Fall Previews, is devoted entirely to all the premiere excitement.
