All right, George, you REALLY need to stop being so modest! This film looks fantastic, and we have a feeling that all the Oscar buzz you're getting is well deserved!

Check out the newly released trailer (above) for The Descendants, which is very likely to land George Clooney a Best Actor nomination.

Between George's acting skillz, and the immaculate track record of director Alexander Payne (we LOOOVED Election!), we'd be pret-ty shocked if this one isn't a success on all fronts!

Will U check out The Descendants when it comes out next month? Do U think it's got Oscar written all over it???

We were blown away by Ryan Gosling in Drive. We were fascinated with how interesting Brad Pitt made the game of baseball seem in Moneyball. And now…we're looking at you, George.

When attending the Closing Night Gala presentation of his new movie The Descendants at the 49th annual New York Film Festival, George Clooney was asked to comment on the Oscar buzz he's receiving.

Here's what he had to say about it:

Looks like The Green Hornet has set a strong precedent for Ry Ry's Green Lantern to surpass live up to!

Audiences loved Seth Rogen this weekend, and his superhero movie took the #1 spot at the box office!

Here's what Sony's president of worldwide distribution Rory Bruer had to say about the film's success:

"As we moved down the road, it got a lot of love, the love that it deserved. I think everything worked really well for the film: the timing, the release date, the marketing, and, most importantly, the film itself. It all gelled in a terrific way. We're very pleased with the results."

The Ron Howard-directed comedy The Dilemma debuted at #2, bringing in only $17.4 million. Guess all the drama surrounding the movie's trailer didn't help its cause.

Other top box office spots were dominated by films with Oscar buzz, including True Grit at #3, The King's Speech at #4, and Black Swan at #5 and Little Fockers at #6.

Should be inneresting to see if The Green Hornet can sting again next weekend, when the Natalie Portman/Ashton Kutcher rom-com No Strings Attached is released.

Did U see The Green Hornet over the weekend? Did U like it?

Kate and Laura Mulleavy may soon be calling themselves Oscar nominees or even better Oscar winners!

The designing sisters of Rodarte are already receiving a lot of Oscar buzz for the 40 tutus they created for Darren Aronofsky's film Black Swan.

Fingers crossed!

And it looks intense!

Directed by John Cameron Mitchell, who we absolutely love, Rabbit Hole stars Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart, as well as Sandra Oh and Dianne Weist.

The drama is based on the Broadway play with the same name and focuses on a successful suburban couple, played by Nicole and Aaron, and how they deal with the accidental death of their young son.

The film is already getting Oscar buzz, especially for Nicole and Kidman.

We guarantee that this film will make us cry, but we're still excited to see it!

We can't believe it's award season already!

Matt Damon will be campaigning in the lead actor category for his performance in Hereafter, even though he appears in less than half the film.

Although his supporting performance in the Coen brothers’ True Grit is getting buzz, so putting Damon in the lead category will avoid vote splitting.

It's rumored that he will have a lesser chance getting a nomination as a lead, but his performance as a construction worker struggling to deal with his unwanted psychic abilities is pretty impressive.

Lots of luck, Mr. Damon.
