Coming off a terrific dramatic turn in Jason Reitman 's Young Adult , Patton Oswalt is now looking to star in Ben Stiller 's next directorial project.

Young Adult star Jason Reitman has been directing celebrity readings of cult films, recasting famous roles with new talent.

Andy Serkis and Patton Oswalt, who were passed over when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences handed out its nominations, stole the show on Friday night at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, which honored Serkis, Oswalt, Shailene Woodley and three Oscar nominees with its annual Virtuoso Awards.

The 39th annual Annie Awards were handed out Saturday at UCLA's Royce Hall. The awards, which were handed out by the International Animated Film Society, were spread out, with Johnny Depp's Rango taking home the best animated feature prize and Kung Fu Panda 2 winning for best feature director.

Newly-minted Oscar nominees Demian Bichir, Rooney Mara and Melissa McCarthy were also honored, as was Academy-snubee Shailene Woodley.

The Visual Effects Society is pleased to announce that Patton Oswalt will host the 10th Annual VES Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Tuesday, February 7, 2012.

Theron has received high praise for her work in Diablo Cody's latest movie, "Young Adult," however the buzz didn't transfer into a nomination for the previous Oscar winner.
