They’ve won an Oscar, now what? <http://www.examiner.com/x-3950-DC-Movies-Examiner> March 11, 8:26 PM · *Add a Comment*<http://www.examiner.com/x-3950-DC-Movies-Examiner~y2009m3d11-Theyve-won-an-Oscar-now-what#comments> ShareThis <javascript:void(0)> Feed<http://www.examiner.com/blog/rss.cfm?blogID=3950&blogURL=DC-Movies-Examiner&mode=brief> After winning the acting world’s most important award, the Oscar, an actor can expect many offers to be pouring in and for some actors they are. Sean Penn is expected to play a supporting role in a dramatic film written and directed byTerrence Malick entitled* Tree of Life*, according to Variety. Penn who won the Lead Actor Oscar for *Milk, *will costar with Brad Pitt. A.R. Rahman won two Academy Awards<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award> and many other awards this year for the *Slumdog Millionaire* soundtrack<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slumdog_Millionaire_(soundtrack)>, for which he did the original score. He became the first Indian to win two Academy Awards. He isplanning on releasing music on his own label in the future, but for now the rest of 2009 is going to be a big year as Rahman is working on a lot of movie soundtracks, according to Billboard.com. DC native, Taraji P. Henson may not have won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, but she did win another film role. The Academy Award nominee (for *The Curious Case of Benjamin Button*) will star in Tyler Perry’s next stage to big screen film, *I CAN DO BAD ALL BY MYSELF*. It had been reported that Perry would release *Madea’s Class Reunion<http://www.examiner.com/x-3950-DC-Movies-Examiner~y2009m2d22-Jails-a-big-hit> *, but he has decided on this film instead. The film is expected to be released nationwide on September 11, 2009 and Perry's signature character, Madea, will be featured in the film.
