The subject of the documentary You Don't Need Feet to Dance, Sidiki Conde, is possibly the very definition of determination and resilience. Born in Guinea, stricken with polio that lost him the use of his legs as a teen, overcoming that stigma by forming an orchestra of disabled artists that toured the country, Conde eventually found his way to New York City, where he performs as musician and dancer (yes, dancer), teaches disabled and non-disabled children, and just generally meets the challenges of the toughest city in the world with his own indomitable spirit. Director Alan Govenar (The Beat Hotel) takes us inside a few days in Conde's life, showing him tackling obstacles such as living in a fifth-floor walk-up, dealing with New York traffic, and motivating kids facing their own challenges.

I met up with Sidiki and Alan in the musician's apartment for an in-depth discussion on the motives for this illuminating documentary and the complexities that accompanied its filming. Click on the player button to hear the show, or right-click the title to download.

Emma Watson On '50 Shades' Rumor: 'Who Here Actually Thinks I Would Do 50 Shades Of Grey As A Movie?'

All hail Emma Watson. The erstwhile Hermione Granger took to Twitter on Saturday night to dispel any notion that she might star in the upcoming adaptation of the S&M novel "Fifty Shades Of Grey," and did it with style:

@EmWatson
Emma Watson Who here actually thinks I would do 50 Shades of Grey as a movie? Like really. For real. In real life.

@EmWatson
Emma Watson Good. Well that's that sorted then.

Smiley face emoticon, Indeed. The latest rumor about Watson playing Anastasia Steele in the big screen take on E L James' popular novel trilogy sprouted up thanks to a Twitter account with possible ties to the hacker-activist group Anonymous. The Twitter handle posted documents stolen from German film studio Constanin that mentioned the 22-year-old actress as possible star. (Gossip Cop debunked that claim, noting that Watson is only on the producers' wish list.)

This isn't the first time Watson has been rumored for "Fifty Shades of Grey." The idea that she could star in the film first began circulating last summer, but Watson was quick to shoot the reports down.

"I haven't read the book, I haven't a read a script, nothing," Watson told EW.com in July of 2012. "There are so many movies you become attached to when I've literally never even received a phone call. It was the same way with 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' –- I never even saw a script!"

For now, "Fifty Shades of Grey" remains without a leading actor, actress or director. Universal and Focus Features hope to release the film during the summer of 2014, however, so expect some movement on those fronts soon. For what it's worth, screenwriter Kelly Marcel said earlier this year that she felt the film would receive an NC-17 rating.

Copper hair, strong build, steely gray eyes ... Armie Hammer would make the perfect Christian Grey. He's 25, just the right age to pull off 27-year-old Grey's air of success and boyish charm, and he can go from serious and sexy smirk in a second.
Backups: Ryan Gosling, Michael Fassbender, Chris Pine, Henry Cavill

Olsen breakout role in "Martha Marcy May Marlene" proved she can play frightened and confused like a pro. But it's her piercing blue eyes that seal the deal -- darken her hair a few shades, and she is not-so-innocent recent college grad Ana.
Backups: Dakota Fanning, Saoirse Ronan, Alexis Bledel, Emma Stone

Ana's inquisitive roommate Kate has strawberry blonde hair and a fierce attitude. Wood often plays older than her 24 years, but would make a believable mature recent college grad with sex appeal.
Backups: Carey Mulligan, Mia Wasikowska, Blake Lively, Ari Graynor

Young photographer and college student Jose adores Ana and desperately wants to be more than just friends, but the arrival of Christian Grey solidifies his place as a pal. "The Vampire Diaries'" Trevino has proven he can play tortured, and his good looks make him a nice threat for Mr. Grey.
Backups: Taylor Lautner, Penn Badgley, Mark Salling

Ana's stepdad Ray is ex-military and likes the simpler things in life, like baseball and fishing, but he's got a soft spot for his little girl. Ray's role isn't huge, but Keaton could easily pull off playing the reserved, protective pop.
Backups: Ed Harris, Bryan Cranston, Jeffrey Dean Morgan

Ana's mom Carla is a hopeless romantic, but also fairly unlucky in love. Ray was her second husband who Ana stayed to live with when she ran off with #3. Now on #4, she's hoping her daughter won't make the same mistakes.
Backups: Patricia Clarkson, Marcia Gay Harden, Teri Hatcher

Jose's dad and Ana's dad Ray were old army buddies, reunited when their kids became friends at college. Jose Sr. also desperately wants Ana and his son to get together, and Smits can play convincing in his sleep.
Backups: Danny Trejo, Edward James Olmos

Christian's mother Grace -- a pediatrician who adopted him at the age of 4 -- is smart, sweet and very high society. Sullivan's poise would be perfect, but it's her ability to play sadness and fierce maternal instincts that would come in handy.
Backups: Susan Sarandon, Joan Allen

Carrick is a successful lawyer and businessman who makes his family's best interests a top priority. He's soft spoken, but still has presence -- Skarsgard's soulful eyes would definitely come in handy for the more emotional moments.
Backups: Harrison Ford, Victor Garber

Christian's older adopted brother, Elliot, is a good time guy and a real ladies man -- Franco could pull off both -- who's always giving his little brother a hard time for his single status ... until Christian meets Ana.
Backups: James Marsden, Zach Gilford

Christian's little sister Mia has always been the only woman who can give him a hard time and get away with it. Lucy Hale could play the energetic brunette in a second.
Backups: Leighton Meester, Emmy Rossum, Nina Dobrev

Christian Grey's most trusted security man, Taylor is ex-FBI and the strong, silent type ... but he reserves a smile here and there for Ana.
Backups: David Morse, Bruce Willis

Christian's housekeeper Mrs. Jones is also a mother figure of sorts, keeping his swanky penthouse home tidy, cooking all meals and keeping the refrigerator stocked with his favorites.
Backups: Cybill Shepherd, Jane Seymour, Julie Andrews

Christian's Mrs. Robinson -- the woman who welcomed him into the kinky world of BDSM at a very young age -- needs to be a predator, but still sexy in her older age. Sharon Stone fits the bill.
Backups: Ellen Barkin, Meg Ryan, Morgan Fairchild

Dr. Flynn is the voice of reason in Christian's life, and they have more than just a therapist-patient relationship. Flynn is a confidant and charming in his own right.
Backups: Clive Owen, Ralph Fiennes, Guy Pearce, Robert Downey Jr.

Oscar Preparations: Movie Stars Get Ready For Hollywood's Biggest Night

The Academy Awards are taking place at the Dolby Theater.
LOS ANGELES — Some dressed down in jeans and hoodies. Others looked camera-ready in suits or chic dresses and spiky stilettos.
But all of the stars who rehearsed Saturday for the 85th Academy Awards seemed excited about being a part of the big show.
They paraded through the Dolby Theatre in 15-minute increments: Meryl Streep. Ben Affleck. Reese Witherspoon. Richard Gere. Jennifer Aniston. John Travolta. Nicole Kidman. Jack Nicholson. And dozens more.
Each practiced their lines in front of an audience of show workers and awarded prop Oscars to rehearsal actors. They also scanned the theater from the stage, searching for their show-night seats.
"Oh, wow. That's a very dramatic picture of me," best-actress nominee Jessica Chastain said after spotting her seat-saving placard. "I'm looking at everyone's headshots. It's kind of incredible."
Affleck confessed his excitement from the stage as he looked out at all the famous faces expected Sunday.
"This is like the most memorable aspect of the Oscars," the "Argo" director said. "You see all these place cards (at rehearsal), then you come back and they're all here!"
Affleck also chatted backstage with the college students who won a contest to serve as trophy carriers during the ceremony.
"I love that," he said. "It's super cool."
Travolta also took time with the students.
"I was there when that idea was born and I said it was the best idea they could possibly come up with," he told the aspiring filmmakers backstage. "And here you are!"
Travolta plans to bring his 13-year-old daughter, Ella Bleu, to the ceremony.
Kidman made rehearsals a family affair. Husband Keith Urban and their eldest daughter, Sunday, watched from the audience as Kidman ran through her lines.
She looked impeccable in a wine-colored dress and tall, metallic shoes, but other stars were decidedly more casual. Kristen Stewart arrived in jeans, sneakers and a backward ballcap. (She also limped on an injured right foot.) Renee Zellweger also opted for comfort in jeans and running shoes.
The cast of "Chicago," including Gere, Zellweger, Queen Latifah and Catherine Zeta-Jones, injected their rehearsal with silliness. Latifah purposely over-enunciated her lines, and when a pair of rehearsal actors claimed an Oscar onstage and gave an acceptance speech, Zeta-Jones started to play them off with an imaginary violin.
"Get outta here!" Gere said with a smile.
Octavia Spencer, who won the supporting actress Oscar last year for her performance in "The Help," also had a little fun.
"I'm going to do a soft-shoe," she said, shuffling off stage.
Streep and Jane Fonda were each wowed by the set design. Fonda snapped a photo of it with her iPhone, and Streep marveled at how far the walk to the microphone was.
"All the way to here?!" she asked. "Oh my God."
Halle Berry literally stumbled during her first rehearsal, her pointy heel catching on part of the stage. She insisted on trying again.
"Woo hoo," she said. "Made it."

The Academy Awards will be presented Sunday and broadcast live on ABC.

Rate The Last Movie You Watched

I saw Django Unchained last night, 9/10 it's hands down my new favourite Tarantino film and oddly it didn't always feel like one of his films.
Absolutely amazing performances from all of the cast. Particularly Leonardo DiCaprio - interesting fact: at one point his character slams his fist on the table and accidentally cuts himself on some glass, this wasn't planned in the script and they just kept going. So the rest of the scene DiCaprio has blood all over his hand and actually helped add to the scene (don't want to spoil it for anyone).
Amazing film.

'Zombieland' Series: Amazon Negotiating For Half-Hour Comedy Based On Woody Harrelson Movie

The current zombie craze shows no signs of abating, with Amazon reportedly in negotiations to develop a half-hour comedy based on the 2009 movie "Zombieland," according to Deadline.
If a deal is reached between the streaming service and production company Sony Pictures TV, the show would reportedly be a straight-to-series order, as well as becoming the first original scripted project for Amazon.
This isn't Sony Pictures TV's first attempt to adapt the cult movie for the small screen -- the project was originally in contention at Fox last year, and developed for CBS before that.
The movie's writers, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, are attached to write and executive produce the prospective series, along with "Zombieland" producer Gavin Polone, who would join them as an EP. According to Deadline, Eli Craig is under consideration for directing duties, since the movie's helmer, Ruben Fleischer, is reportedly otherwise engaged with pilots at 20th Century Fox TV as part of his overall deal there.
No word yet on whether the show would attempt to utilize (and undoubtedly recast) characters from the film, or create a whole new roster of heroes.
