For the latest (and most hilarious) edition of "Lie Witness News," Jimmy Kimmel sent his late night crew to the king of hipster meccas: the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas. Armed with a camera and a list of amazing fake band names, the Jimmy Kimmel Live! team approached over-eager music fans to gather opinions on some of the festival's fictional break-out bands.
Here's Jimmy Kimmel: On the Cover of Rolling Stone
"Over 2,000 bands are playing SXSW this year – which I think is all of them," Kimmel notes in the lead-in.

It's hard to predict the winners of this year's Oscars because there is no clear-cut favorite. Last year, Kathryn Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker" started strong during awards season and maintained its dominance all the way to its Oscar best picture victory. This year, David Fincher's "The Social Network" triumphed in the beginning but the Oscar buzz surrounding the movie is slowly fading away.
But I still have my favorites and I will attempt to handicap the Oscars. Here are my predictions of who should take home Oscar gold at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards.
Best Picture
.Black Swan. Mike Medavoy, Brian Oliver and Scott Franklin, Producers
.The Fighter. David Hoberman, Todd Lieberman and Mark Wahlberg, Producers
.Inception. Emma Thomas and Christopher Nolan, Producers
.The Kids Are All Right. Gary Gilbert, Jeffrey Levy-Hinte and Celine Rattray, Producers
.The King's Speech. Iain Canning, Emile Sherman and Gareth Unwin, Producers
.127 Hours. Christian Colson,...

Invictus
Starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon
Directed by Clint Eastwood
Rated PG-13
If you were to boil down Clint Eastwood's movies over his recent resurgence - at 79, he is arguably better than ever - they might all be summed up with the two-word phrase, "it's complicated." Narratively, not so much; Eastwood rarely plays with perspective and chronology, certainly not to the point of gimmickry. But thematically and emotionally, his past few films have not been easy.
Witness the unfolding of the third acts in Mystic River or Million Dollar Baby, the racism in Gran Torino, and the constrasting images of a less prosaic Flags of Our Fathers and the unbelievably graceful Letters from Iwo Jima.
Invictus has "it's complicated" written all over it, but Eastwood takes an easier road. It's gentle and dignified, characteristics you might expect of a film about Nelson Mandela, but it seems never in doubt,...
