RATE OF BANKRUPTCIES
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows the debtor to retain certain exempt property, but the debtor’s remaining property is gathered and sold by a trustee from which creditors will receive payment. It may also be used by businesses which wish to terminate their business. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy enables debtors, through court supervision and protection, to propose and carry out a repayment plan under which creditors are paid, in full or in part, in installments over a three-year period. During that time, debtors are prohibited from starting or continuing collection efforts. The following bankruptcies declared by Calhoun County residents were recorded by U.S. Bankruptcy Court Northern District of Alabama last week:
Chapter 7 • Kenneth O. Barker, Lillian Lane, Anniston • Mysti Angeline Tillison, New Liberty Road, Jacksonville • Tammy L. Craven, Peaceburg Road, Weaver • John M. Goldman, North Hunter Street, Anniston • Susan M. Anderson, Piedmont

THE 85th ACADEMY AWARDS
Oscar films are hits, too, for a change BY JAKE COYLE Associated Press
How accurate is “Zero Dark Thirty”? Is “Lincoln” an epic of historical recreation or a high school history lesson? What did you think of “Django Unchained”? Can we get Anne Hathaway something to eat, already? As a crop, this year’s nine best picture nominees has been one of the most talk-provoking, op-Ed-generating bunches in recent Oscar history. From “Argo” to “Life of Pi,” they’ve been popular at the box office, too. This year, the question “Have you seen ...?” has been a frequent one, and often the reply has been positive. The movies have been debated, criticized, mulled over and tweeted. Above all, they’ve been relevant. That hasn’t always been the case, particularly in years where most best-picture candidates have struggled to surpass $100 million at the domestic box office. Last year, of the nine nominees, only “The Help” managed to pass that threshold. This year, five have (“Argo,” “Les Misérables,” “Lincoln,” “Django” and “Life of Pi”) and two more are very close (“Zero Dark Thirty” and “Silver Linings Playbook”). Many of this year’s nominees have done particularly well overseas. Ang Lee’s “Life of Pi” has proved an international juggernaut, approaching $600 million worldwide. The most heartwarming story of this year’s Oscars isn’t necessarily the 9-year-old star of “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” Quvenzhane Wallis. It could very well be the pervasive success of serious films for adults. Part of what makes this year’s class remarkable is that they aren’t obvious box-office draws. Westerns are supposed to be dated. Excessively detailed stories about congressional politics aren’t usually popcornmunching hits. Religious-minded films centered on an unknown young actor and a digital tiger adrift on a boat don’t typically steamroll like a superhero blockbuster. “The movies worked,” Harvey Weinstein, co-chairman of the Weinstein Co., which released “Silver Lin-
ings Playbook” and “Django Unchained,” said recently. He called the best picture nominees “the best collection of movies we’ve had in 20 years.” The studios are also well represented at this year’s Oscars: Warner Bros. has “Argo,” Universal has “Les Misérables,” Disney has “Lincoln,” Fox has “Life of Pi” and Sony has “Zero Dark Thirty.” Several of those films were produced with outside financing, but they all benefited from the strong distribution and marketing of a major studio. It all points to strong health for Hollywood: A star-studded awards gala of nine varied movies to cap a boffo 2012. The year’s domestic box office hit a record $10.8 billion and tickets sold increased for the first time in three years. “The good news is there’s a robust body of moviegoers seeing quality films. That’s the real story,” says Peter Guber, the veteran producer and chairman of Mandalay Entertainment who produced best picture-winning “Rain Man,” among others. “I have great hope that the films this year that did all this business will spawn more adult films and more films that have thoughtful content. I hope that will be the case, I really do,” says Guber. “But if you look at the lineup for this year, what you’ll see is sequels, remakes, re-dos, prequels and franchises.” This year’s class is still missing a heavyweight, like “Avatar” or “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” (which drive viewers to the telecast), or the drama of something like Kathryn Bigelow and “The Hurt Locker” going up against exhusband James Cameron and “Avatar.” That idiosyncratic movies by talented filmmakers from Ang Lee to Quentin Tarantino can be so lucrative, albeit not on the scale of the $1.1 billion-making “Skyfall,” suggests that risk-taking can pay off. (There still are cautionary tales like Paul Thomas Anderson’s “The Master,” which earned only $25.7 million worldwide, a fraction of its budget.) The trend for adult dramas had been going in the other direction, prompting worries about the diminishing appeal of the theatrical experience in a time of ceaseless digital entertainment, the loss of independent studios specializing in films for adult audiences, and TV’s rise as the first destination for today’s best dramas. All of those concerns still have credence, but at least this Oscar’s batch has vibrancy, with films that have provoked audiences. At a time when teenager-targeted extravaganzas increasingly crowd out quality films for adults, this year’s best picture films made the argument for being a little daring. “Every movie is unknown,” said Lee. “If it’s known, then no studio would lose money.”

Pondering possibilities of MacFarlane’s turn in Oscar’s hot seat BY GLENN WHIPP Los Angeles Times
Seth MacFarlane has compared hosting the Oscars to President Obama’s first term. By trying to please everyone, this year’s Oscar MC says, you end up pleasing no one. How will MacFarlane fare? From a rundown of what we know about this year’s show, we offer the following best- and worst-case scenarios:
Opening monologue BEST-CASE SCENARIO: MacFarlane successfully negotiates a tricky tonal middle ground between snark and respect, delivering a broadly appealing sense of irreverence that includes him singing a genuinely funny parody of “Les Misérables.” WORST-CASE SCENARIO: Remember that Emmy mailer last year for MacFarlane’s animated TV show “Family Guy”? The one that appealed to voters by saying, “Come on, you bloated, overprivileged Brentwood Jews, let us into your little club”? We get 10 minutes of that kind of tone-deaf, insider humor, culminating with a cameo from Stewie.
22 cameras and an army of hand-held specialists BEST CASE: There’s one camera trained on Tommy Lee Jones’ face for the entire ceremony. WORST CASE: Handheld cameramen were schooled by Lars von Trier. Nauseated home viewers turn off their TVs en masse.
Mark Wahlberg and “Ted” reunited BEST CASE: The movie’s R-rated comic sensibility is toned down enough to translate to the broadcast’s PG-13 standards. WORST CASE: Thanks to network censors, we won’t be able to hear half their routine.
Special tribute to film musicals BEST CASE: Anne Hathaway! Jennifer Hudson! Eddie Murphy! Razzle dazzle! WORST CASE: A 12minute interpretive dance number, culminating with Russell Crowe singing “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going.”
Salute to James Bond BEST CASE: The six men who have played 007 — Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig — share the stage. WORST CASE: Only Lazenby shows.
Barbra Streisand sings! BEST CASE: She performs a moving tribute to her friend and frequent collaborator, composer Marvin Hamlisch. When she finishes, there’s not a dry eye in the house. WORST CASE: It’s not a tribute to Hamlisch. It’s a duet with ... MacFarlane.
Adele performs “Skyfall” BEST CASE:It’s just her and the piano. No needless distractions. No Bond girls shimmying in the background. WORST CASE: It’s just her and the piano — with Lazenby sprawled across the top of it.
Best picture “wow moment” BEST CASE: “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome ... Gene Hackman!” WORST CASE: “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome ... the cast of ‘Twilight!’”
Ceremony ends... BEST CASE: ... with the wealth spread around, befitting a year with so many good movies. WORST CASE: ... sometime Monday morning.
