The Premiere of Juno was held at the Mann’s Village Westwood Theater in Westwood, CA and included not only Ellen Page walking the red carpet but her cast and crew members and other celebrity guests such as Megan Fox, Sarah Silverman, and Jimmy Kimmel.

                 

For those in big cities (like New York and Los Angeles), Juno is having their limited release today at select theaters.

Not in Alaska but a pre-screening of the movie. As all the reviews of Juno have mentioned, its mixture of wittiness and originality makes it a great movie that you should definitely check out. Ellen Page’s performance was superb as always and I definitely can see her getting nominated for the Oscars. The supporting cast was just as good. If you’ve seen it, what did you think?

Ellen Page is becoming more noticeable in the United States and her popularity will surely only rise more after Juno is released in a few weeks. Check out the very nice article from the Los Angeles Times about Ellen Page going from indie to mainstream.

“I do what I do and obviously some people don’t like it and then there’s certain people that have responded well to different performances and it’s just — it’s a weird thing. It’s something I can’t really describe. It’s something I feel like is already there, you know? It’s just about finding it and pulling it out. ‘Cause we all feel the same stuff.”

Ellen Page was named Breakthrough Actor of the year at the annual Gotham Awards in New York City for her role in Juno as a pregnant teenager who decides to have the baby and give it up for adoption. Congratulations to Ellen Page!
