2010 Oscars: Anna, Zoe, & Gabourey Battle For “It” Girl Status
The Oscars are often the place where a young starlet can claim “It” girl status on her way up the A-list. Anna Kendrick, Zoe Saldana, and Gabourey Sidibe are this year’s young contenders battling it out for the title. Find out who our editors think will be the 2010 Oscars “It” girl.

Zoe Saldana won’t need convincing to head to the set of “Avatar 2.”

“We signed our lives away for whatever was going to happen. It was the kind of thing that, had they not asked me to sign, I would’ve offered myself regardless,” the star told Access Hollywood of the potential sequel at the 3rd Annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon. “Any excuse to go back and reunite with [director] Jim [Cameron] and the rest of the cast, especially Sam [Worthington] and Sigourney [Weaver], is something that I won’t even hesitate [to do].”

As the cast and crew of “Avatar” gear up for their big night at the Oscars on Sunday, Zoe said she’s been trying to slow down the whirlwind of awards season events.

“Life happens and it goes so fast,” she said. “It’s been so wonderful so far.”

The film has grossed over $2 billion, making it the top-earning film ever – beating out Cameron’s previous record holder, 1997’s “Titanic.” The director has confirmed a sequel is in the works, though the project is likely a ways off.
