	Major league
		Although Hollywood majors tend to split the costs of their biggest-budgeted vehicles with other studios in an effort to defer risk, the majority of this year's Oscar entries are backed by one entity and one entity alone.
		The film is a lock to be nominated for multiple technical awards, however, and is unlikely to go home from the Oscars empty-handed.
		While there is plenty of mystery surrounding which films will win big at March's 78th Annual Academy Awards ceremony, what appears certain is that the studio that walks away with the most trophies probably won't have to share the spotlight with anyone else.

	ICv2 News - Marvel Studios Happy to Reclaim the 'Hulk'
		While Marvel's CEO Peter Cuneo has called 2006 "a year of transition for Marvel," the same could be said for 2007, which will probably be the last year in which the majority of Marvel-based films will be made by the traditional Hollywood studios.
		In a conference call with analysts Arad promised that Marvel Studios would release its first major theatrical film in the summer of 2008, but he declined to say what that film would be.
		This means that the Hulk film will be made outside the Paramount-distributed Marvel Studios deal (see "Marvel to Produce Its Own Movies"), but Marvel should not have much trouble arranging the financing and will retain the lion's share of any profits (and all licensing rights) from a Hulk sequel.

	Pi (1998)
		Had this been released by one of the major studios, you can rest assured that the Special Edition tag would have been slapped all over this package.
		Of note is the fact that his follow-up feature, Requiem For A Dream has been even more critically praised than Pi, and the man has been basically given the task of resurrecting the moribund Batman franchise in feature films after Joel Schumacher buried it under a pile of manure.
		It is a perplexing film in many respects, but to my mind one of the best independent films out of the USA in the last five years.
