Which of these Bennet girls ( P&P actresses Keira Knightley , Rosamund Pike , Jena Malone , Carey Mulligan , and Talulah Riley ) can sing in real-life? All of them! And no, they're not singing as the Bennet girls in the videos compiled here, but you know what? They can all sing and could most definitely form an indie girl group (or play one in a movie), if they ever choose to...someday...in the near future. The first one I've heard was Talulah Riley (though I have yet to hear her sing as herself not in character) as Mary Bennet singing briefly in a scene at Netherfield Ball in Pride & Prejudice movie. According to director Joe Wright , it was her "singing live in front of all those people" in that particular scene in P&P movie. Then, I heard Keira singing briefly in her The Edge of Love movie and last year's Begin Again (in which she sang 6 of the tracks from the soundtrack including the Oscar nominated song Lost Stars ). Next, it was Jena

Variety reports ealier today that Oscar nominated Gone Girl star Rosamund Pike is in talks to play a female lead role opposite Oscar Winner Christian Bale in The Deep Blue Good-by with Leonardo DiCaprio as one of the producers. This is her 3rd lead role from 20th Century Fox (with GG , The Mountain Between Us , and this movie! Go RP and Fox! Keep working together!) No details yet on which role Rosamund is playing, but if she's playing the lead role as the article stated. She's likely to play the character named Lois Atkinson .

Two-time Oscar Nominee Keira Knightley (nominated for Best Supporting Actress for The Imitation Game ) looking gorgeous in a Valentino dress attended tonight's 87th Annual Academy Awards at Hollywood & Highland Center, February 22, 2015 in Hollywood, California. Unsurprisingly, Miss Knightley didn't win, as the expected winner Patricia Arquette of Boyhood won. UPDATE: See new photos and video of Keira from the Oscars - Red Carpet arrival and Vanity Fair Oscar Afterparty below...

Oscar Nominee Rosamund Pike ( Best Actress for Gone Girl ) looking radiant in a custom made Givenchy red dress attended tonight's 87th Annual Academy Awards at Hollywood & Highland Center on February 22, 2015 in Hollywood, California. UPDATE: Of course, not surprisingly, Rosamund 's Best Actress category has not been announced yet as the award show is still on.. .lost to the expected winner Julianne Moore of Still Alice (which not many people have seen...). It should've been RP as she deserved to win for her incredible performance in GG . It would've been nice to be surprise, but all the acting categories this award season has been predictable and boring...no big upset nor surprises. Oh, well... Ros may have lost (better luck next time), but her amazing Amy performance was still unforgettable and a big winner (in my viewing) and her beautiful Oscar dress tonight slays the red carpet and is a winner too! See several new photos and video of Ro

See a full list of 2015 Oscar Winners below (scroll further down for the complete list). Tonight's the 87th Academy Awards ! The Oscars will be hosted by Neil Patrick Harris ( Gone Girl ).

So, be sure to refresh this post for live updates starting in 30 minutes from now at 7:30 pm! Pride & Prejudice 's very own Bennet girls   Rosamund Pike   and   Keira Knightley are nomi

With Joe Wright 's Pride & Prejudice celebrating its 10th year anniversary this year and tonight's Oscars with two of its cast nominated for an Academy Award for lead and supporting acting categories : Rosamund Pike ( Best Actress for Gone Girl ) and Keira Knightley ( Best Supporting Actress for The Imitation Game ), and Costume Designer : Oscar winner * Jacqueline Durran ( Anna Karenina starring Keira Knightley and P&P co-star Matthew Macfadyen ) is nominated for Mr. Turner ...just thought I'd revisit, reminisced, and look back at the 78th Academy Awards (though, then, it was in March 5th, 2006 ), 9 years ago , my all-time favorite Pride & Prejudice film scored 4 Oscar Nominations (including a Best actress nod for Keira for her Elizabeth Bennet role).  Here are the 4 Oscar Nominations for Pride & Prejudice (2005) as announced back in January 31st, 2006 (with images and video clips from the Oscars ceremony) as well as re

Tonight Episode 8 of Downton Abbey   ( Penelope Wilton   co-star as   Isobel Crawley ) 's season 5 continues on PBS Masterpiece  at 9/8c . Episode 8 will be 60 minutes long! The new season starts with an  intimately interlaced stories centered on an English country estate—a deliciously entertaining formula that has made it the highest-rated drama in PBS history.  Downton Abbey , Season 5 , airs Sundays, January 4 - March 1, 2015 on MASTERPIECE on PBS. Episode 8 (60 minutes) London brings the Crawleys and their servants scandal, sabotage, and a Scotland Yard stunner. Mrs. Patmore gets a surprise, and Robert has a revelation.

Oscar Nominee   Rosamund Pike   attended the  Women In Film Pre-Oscar Cocktail Party presented by MaxMara , BMW , Tiffany & Co ., MAC Cosmetics and Perrier-Jouet at Hyde Sunset Kitchen + Cocktails  Friday,  February 20, 2015 in Los Angeles, California. Best of luck to Rosamund on tomorrow's Oscars ! Though seeing as these award shows are always unfair (and always has been for years, especially with deserving nominees overlooked over less deserving ones winning most of the time), it's not surprising anymore.  Ros hasn't won any big awards on recent televised award shows for her outstanding performance as Amy Dunne in the box-office mega-hit Gone Girl . I'm not hoping nor expecting her to win anymore (but it would be a lovely surprise, and an upset if she ever does, which is unlikely...but who knows, right?). I'm just so glad (and happy for her) she's nominated and recognized for her amazing performance, which is very well-deserved. Also, it's g

Matthew Macfadyen   in California?! Yes, he is and he's looking dapper and very handsome too in a black dark blue and white suit without a tie! He made a rare (and unexpected)  pre-Oscar party appearance in Hollywood as he attended the GREAT British film reception honoring the British nominees of the 87th Annual Academy Awards at The London West Hollywood, yesterday ( February 20, 2015 ) in West Hollywood, California. Speaking of Matthew at a pre-Oscar party, I wonder if he bumped into his former Pride & Prejudice co-stars Keira Knightley and Rosamund Pike , both Oscar Nominees ( Knightley for Supporting Actress in The Imitation Game and Pike for Leading Actress in Gone Girl ) on this one (no pics yet of either Ros and Keira at this same event...though RP 's been at a couple other Pre-Oscar parties, which I'll post her new pics here later...) or if he'll attend other pre-Oscar parties or after parties and bump into them this Oscar weekend. It wou

Today, February 20th , is the  69th birthday  of  two-time Academy Award Award Nominee   Brenda Blethyn , best known to us  P&P fans  as  Mrs. Bennet , the  Bennet girls '  mother  in the 2005  Pride & Prejudice  film. After twenty years of hard work on stage and both television and films, there are not many other actresses who deserved the success, recognition and stardom which  Brenda Blethyn  has now achieved. Born in (February 20th) 1946 in Ramsgate in Kent, England, she started her career at British Rail in the 1960s. Saving money during her time there, she took a risk and enrolled herself at the at The Guildford School of Acting in Guildford, Surrey, England and then left her British Rail years behind. Her risk had paid off, by the mid-1970s she was working on stage, eventually joining the National Theatre Company in 1975. ( Read more of her Bio on IMDB! ) Read more below...

She was also nominated for Atonement , but, of course, she didn't win on that one either. Not too mention, the BAFTAs snubbed her for her Elizabeth Bennet role in Pride & Prejudice back in 2006.

Rosamund Pike is in attendance at today's 87th Annual Academy Awards Nominee Luncheon at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on February 2, 2015 in Beverly Hills, California. Pictures of Rosamund (in her first Oscar Luncheon) and her fellow Oscar nominees (sans Keira Knightley , at least I didn't see any photos of her being there...there goes my hope of seeing her and Ros reuniting in picture together for an early P&P reunion's sake...just not meant to be or rather too early, perhaps? But really, what's going with these two eldest Bennet girls ?!?! It's like they were purposely avoiding each other. No single pic of them seen nor any footage of them mingling and catching up at any of these public events or recent awards season. I hope it's not because of Joe Wright and his break-up with RP ...but that's in the past! Last time I heard, they were still friends even after RP/JW split ...what happened to these two? Only they know, of course. So, it's unl
