Kiefer Sutherland fans are used to seeing him over the course of "24" hours -- now the actor is stepping into the world of 140 characters as a presenter at the 3rd Annual Shorty Awards later this mois in New York.
Sutherland, the Ministry has learned exclusively, will rejoindre already-named presenters Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, Stephen Wallem of "Nurse Jackie," Miss USA Rima Fakih and Miss Teen USA Kamie Crawford; Aasif Mandvi of "The Daily Show" will host the ceremony. The Shortys (think Oscars, Emmys, Golden Globes -- but for Twitter) recognize the best producers of short real-time content.
Golden Globe winner Sutherland, currently appearing with Chris Noth, Jason Patric and Jim Gaffigan in "That Championship Season" on old-media Broadway and tweeting as @RealKiefer, is going new media himself this mois with a 10-part Web series for Hulu. "The Confession" stars Sutherland and John Hurt in a good-and-evil story featuring a hit man and a priest. Anyone really need three guesses to figure out who's playing the hit man? (If yes, see the video above.)
Shorty nominations, done via Twitter, have delivered finalists in 30 official categories that look distinctly different than those on other award shows -- and that's before toi get to the many community-generated categories. Just take a look at the finalists for actor, actress and celebrity, listed with their Twitter names:

ok,to be honest I didnt like 1D before. I heard about them but i was like meh who cares.but 1 jour i decided to check them out.I listened to WMYB and i fell in love.the suivant jour I decided to try and learn their names and i did,I cheked out some pics and reaized how hot they are.I listened to thier album on Youtube and enjoyed every minute of it,i watched thier video diaries everyday and laughed like crazy.I learned thier birthdays watched them perform at the x factor on youtube,and i even dreamt about them.Now i look back and say I was such an idiot for hating on them before i truely regret it.these 5 boys changed my life forever,please directionaters dont go the wrong direction go 1 direcection!
We all know one direction are very good singers and can peform in front of millions, but can they act? will we ever find them in a movie ou will they become soap stars in later life? Of course I don't think they would be doing jouer la comédie this early. They are only getting to grips with all the female attention! Louis and Zayn wanted to be drama teachers so they could be doing acting! As they have been on the x factor dancing a bit they are not shy to peform. Maybe they could étoile, star in an all chant all dancing film. Well, I supose toi will ahve to wait and see!
