It's been roughly 13 minutes since Eddie Murphy departed as Oscar host, and already we have a strong frontrunner to replace Brett Ratner's comeback kid: The Muppets. Supporters rallied on Twitter for their consideration, and now an official "The Muppets Should Host the 2012 Oscars" campaign has been launched on Facebook. We offered up the idea of a Muppet-emceed Oscars in our possible host roundup yesterday, but would the reality of Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Gonzo at the dais be as enchanting as we want?

In Lone Scherfig's One Day, adapted by David Nicholls from his own novel, young Brits Emma (Anne Hathaway) and Dexter (Jim Sturgess) meet cute on the last day of college and spend the '80s and '90s flitting in and out of each other's lives. As the pair grows into adulthood, they begin to realize the love that existed between them from the start -- even if neither can fully see it. The film -- which occurs on a single day of each year throughout the relationship -- is not just about romance, however; it's about maturing, making mistakes and the memories we hold on to from precious moments spent with the ones we love.

I think we all learned our lesson from that troublesome Twilight star.

All this fuss over the first look at Anne Hathaway's maybe-official Catwoman garb in The Dark Knight Rises brings to mind Selina Kyle's sartorial choices over the years, since her 1940 debut in Bob Kane and Bill Finger's Batman #1 comic. Much has changed through the decades, from Catwoman's sultry swingin' '60s shimmer to, well, Halle Berry's unfortunate bra 'n' leather pants getup. Will Hathaway's be-goggled Selina Kyle fare any better than her predecessors?

Having enjoyed the work of Anne Hathaway, Jim Sturgess, and An Education director Lone Scherfig, I'd been optimistically looking forward to the lit adaptation One Day. (Just look at this sexy, lip-parting smooch -- best movie poster kiss ever?) But as the first trailer for the decades-spanning romance reveals, there's another co-star angling for attention in the August release: Anne Hathaway's distracting British accent. Watch the trailer and see what I mean after the jump.
