VultureâsOscar Futureshas peggedThe Social NetworkandThe Kingsâ Speechas early favorites for a Best Picture nomination, with critical favorites from earlier in the yearThe Kids Are All RightandToy Story 3, plus upcoming buzzy featuresBlack Swanand127 Hoursalso in the discussion. But is it time to start talking about Kanyeâs movie?
As you may recall, Kanye explained the film â a 40-minute clip calledRunaway, based on his upcoming album â to our friends atThe Cutas âthe story of a phoenix fallen to Earth ⦠I make her my girlfriend, and people discriminate against her and eventually she has to burn herself alive and go back to her world.â Sounds great so far, right? Well, Kanye screenedRunawayin London last night (and in Paris the night before that) and there are a few new details that should only engender more positive vibes for âYeâs cinematic debut. Our five favorite things we learned aboutRunawaytoday:
⢠Selita Ebanks â whoisone of the models Kanye name-checks on âChristian Dior Denim Flow,â butnotone of the ones he expresses a desire to sleep with â plays the Phoenix.
⢠Thereâs a scene where Kanye is driving an expensive sports car and is hit by a fireball from the sky.
⢠Selita Ebanks comes out of the fireball.
⢠One scene involves a giant paper-mâchÃ[emoji]169[/emoji] Michael Jackson head.
⢠Nicki Minaj narrates part of the movie. She does so in a British accent.
(Bonus:âYeezy wants to perform outside the pyramids but they arenât available until April.â)
Is 40 minutes long enough for Best Picture eligibility? Surely the Academy will make an exception. Anyway,Runaway's teaser trailer is above.
$@%% just got real

[h1]Kanye West: 'I Need To Recapture The Hearts Of The World'[/h1][h2]As release of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy nears, 'Ye tells Vanity Fair, 'I was a spoiled brat.'[/h2]
By James Dinh
Kanye West knows all too well how much difference a year can make. The rapper, who endured a public backlash just 12 months ago, is now incorporating a new outlook into everything from his music to his lifestyle.
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, West opens up about the impact of his mother's death and his determination to spread her message. He also speaks about his highly anticipated new album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and fellow hip-hop heavyweight Jay-Z.
Speaking candidly about the 2007 passing of his mother, the rapper admits he never found it in himself to deal with the tragic loss.
"On one hand, I never really dealt with the loss," he tells the magazine. "But, in not dealing with the loss, I also didn't completely deal with the responsibilities that my mother used to take. She was such an amazing, well-rounded person, and I was a spoiled brat."
'Ye reveals that his mother's teaching profession had much to do with how she acted as a person, saying, "She was a teacher, and to be a teacher, you have to care about people — you can't just care about yourself. I just cared about myself. I thought the fact that so many people in the world — a million in the first week [of a record release] — cared about me, that that was enough, but it's not enough."
Now, the "Power" MC reveals, his refocused mindset has changed him for the better as he keeps the memory of his mother close to his side.
"The best thing I can do now is carry on my mother's legacy," he explains. "I need to recapture the hearts of the world just to show people how great my mother was, to show people that Donda raised a good guy.
"My responsibility is to make music that's progressive, that makes me happy, that makes everyone happy. My job in society isn't to be mad. My job is to present good music."
Much like his Fantasy collaborator Q-Tip described, West says that while he was in the process of creating his new album, he was determined to take things back a step.
"I wanted to take it back to the essence, like the soulful people who brought knowledge — like RZA and Q-Tip," he says. "At a certain point, you need to find a better way to do it."
West concedes that while he still wants to conquer the music scene, he must also take public opinion into consideration.
He may have just learned the aspects of "humility and empathy," but friend and fellow rapper Jay-Z seems to have always been a source of inspiration. When asked what Jigga has done for him, West replies, "Man, everything — served as a big brother, the blueprint, our reality. Someone to look up to."
But Kanye feels as if he's fulfilled a purpose for the chart-topper too: "Just served as a burst of energy at all times — light and energy. Just a person who's constantly seeking information that Jay can use."
