Martin Scorsese on 'Hugo'

Martin Scorsese on 'Hugo'Although Martin Scorsese is known for pushing deadlines when editing his films, the schedule for his first 3D feature, "Hugo," seemed exceedingly lengthy even by the veteran helmer's standards. When he spoke with Variety in early November, he was still tinkering with a few scenes in "Hugo," and he marveled at how much time complicated scenes required to render."I didn't know what that meant until a few months ago," he says. "In some cases shots can take, depending on the complexity, 85 to 89 days to render. We started editing this picture in the middle of January. I haven't seen anything; I haven't seen anybody. I don't even know where I am."In tackling his first family film, Scorsese didn't necessarily intend to turn Brian Selznick's illustrated novel "The Adventures of Hugo Cabret" into a 3D film. It wasn't until his 12-year-old daughter and her friends began assuming the film would be in 3D that he started testing techniques with cinemato-grapher Robert Richardson."I just happen to like 3D a great deal," Scorsese says. "I remember one of the great experiences I had as a child seeing movies was the first wave of 3D: Warner Bros.' 'House of Wax.' My goal here was to use depth as narrative because most people see in depth."The film ultimately turns out to be a love letter to the magic of movies, a notion that Scorsese says is secondary to his initial intention of examining the power of storytelling."If it was (about) a painter or a writer, I don't know if I would have had the same instinct to make the picture," the director says. "But it wasn't because of that. I like the idea that the story resolves itself through the invention of cinema."EYE ON THE OSCARS: THE DIRECTOR Helmers hot to globe trotWoody Allen | Stephen Daldry | David Fincher | Michel Hazanavicius | Terrence Malick | Bennett Miller | Alexander Payne | Jason Reitman | Martin Scorsese | Steven SpielbergIn the Mix Contact Christy Grosz at christy.grosz@variety.com

'Dallas' Trailer Featuring Cast Interviews Premieres (Video)

The Grammy Honours have simplified lower the 2010 groups to an even more workable 78 groups, but that is not saying that Wednesday's nominations did not get their share of surprises -- and snubs.our editor recommendsBruno Mars on 6 Grammy Nominations: 'It Feels Incredible'Grammy Nominations: Kanye Tops With 7 Nods Adele, Beyonce Among Album of the year Contenders'Bon Iver': A Failure from the Album's Visual Helps (Video)Grammy Attacker and Stylish-Hop Ad Guy Steve Stoute around the 'Tanning of America' (Q&A) Surprises: Bon Iver personifies indie might: Possibly Kanye warrants some credit for presenting Justin Vernon towards the public when he worked with using the singer on his My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album, and indie rockers Arcade Fire, too, for winning Album of the season last Feb, but it is Bon Iver's self-entitled second album that made audience, experts, industry gamers and fellow artists swoon. Epic soundscapes combined with Vernon's genteel singing style hit all of the sweet spots because the Wisconsin native tallied up four Grammy honours including Record of the season, Song of the season, Best New Artist and finest Alternative Artist. PHOTOS: Grammy Award Nominees Chris Brown rules rap groups? Remember "Forever," "Yeah 3x" and "Along With YouInch -- all tunes that harken a noticeably different picture of Chris Brown, the R&B singer. But because of "Take A Look At Me Now," his collaboration with Busta Rhymes and Lil Wayne, Brown has gained themself a place within the rap race. He's getting paper, okay, as three Grammy nods including Best Rap Performance and finest Rap Song. The querry is still: is he going to perform on the program or are reminiscences of Grammy weekend 2009 still too fresh within the minds of industry gamers? STORY: Grammy Nominations Through the Amounts Skrillex makes his presence known: It isn't everyday that the electronic music producer is known as like a Best New Artist contender. Really, as DJs go, it's rarely happened, which will make La native Skrillex's five (!) Grammy nods even more unpredicted. Commentators indicate title recognition one of the elder Recording Academy membership. Might be, or possibly individuals voters' children are by way of thanking. Snubs: Beyonce will get the Grammy brush-off: For the videos she's launched this season together with multiple singles, honours show performances along with a four-evening stand at NY City's Roseland Ballroom, Beyonce only have the ability to squeak out two nominations, one for the best Rap/Sang Collaboration for "Party" with Andre 3000, another for the best Lengthy Form Video. To become fair, B's 4 would be a late arrival, striking stores in June, but the truth that it unsuccessful to achieve momentum after untold millions were spent marketing and marketing the album is difficult to disregard. STORY: Complete Listing of Grammy Nominees Tony Bennett isn't any Herbie Hancock: Using the high-profile collaborators he employed for his Duets II album (Rhianna, Mariah Carey, Willie Nelson and also the late Amy Winehouse, included in this) many expected legendary crooner Tony Bennett to become the 2010 Herbie Hancock and sweep multiple groups. Alas, the geriatric set looks like it's a less influential block of computer is at 2008 as Bennett received two nominations, one for the best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Body and Soul" (with Winehouse) and finest Traditional Pop Vocal Album. Where for are thou, Promote the folks? Maybe Skrillex grabbed the very best New Artist place from L.A. band Promote the folks, whose all pervading "Pumped Up Kicks" was a standard feature of r / c both terrestrial and satellite across multiple genres. The beginners did not go entirely unacknowledged, however. They are up for the best Alternative Album against Dying Cab for Cutie, Bon Iver, My Morning Jacket and Radiohead. For probably the most expected moment of nominations evening? It's title wasAdele, who had been basically a shoo-in entering the voting process, and, predictably, collected probably the most nods for any female artist -- six as a whole, including Album, Song and Record of the season. Beating the 21-year-old towards the trophy is going to be a constant climb for just about any artist, but crazier everything has happened. Lest we forget this past year when Katy Perry got shut in the her nominated groups, Eminem was consigned towards the rap category after delivering the greatest seller of the season, Arcade Fire required the very best prize and something stylish hop internet marketer put a easily fit in the NY Occasions. Update: An earlier version want to know , improperly mentioned that Adele had 7 nods which Bon Iver was nominated for Album of the season.
