oscars

As the ’Bridesmaid’s’ ladies joked, some films are shorter than others. ‘The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore’ only runs about 15 minutes, but the gold statuette it won for Best Animated Short at the 84th Academy Award is the same size as the ones presented to the longer films.

The 2012 Oscars was Emma Stone’s first time presenting an award and she was super excited. (We’re letting you know just in case you didn’t already get that from her bit.) You know who wasn’t revved up at all, though? Her co-presenter Ben Stiller.

Not only did Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog hit the 2012 Oscars red carpet in style, but they also claimed a bit of the spotlight during the show when they presented Cirque du Soleil’s thrilling performance.

You know you’re getting older when it seems like nobody on Twitter knows who Billy Crystal is. Yeah, you read that right. Loads of people (and by people we mean out-of-touch teens) took to the Twittersphere after seeing the opening of the 2012 Oscars with utter confusion as to who the iconic actor is.

The 2012 Oscars is that one night a year where no one wants to be on the worst dressed list. Despite all their efforts, however, there’s always those handful of stars that think they’re workin’ it when really Tim Gunn is rolling his eyes in the background.

We all knew Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy were hitting the 2012 Oscars red carpet, but what most weren’t expecting was a surprise duet. But it wasn’t between these two ‘Muppet’ love birds. Instead, Kermit joined up with ‘Glee’s’ Darren Criss for a stirring rendition of ‘Rainbow Connection.’

The 2012 Oscars managed to include the expected and shocks all at the same time. Odds on favorite, ‘The Artist’, won five awards including Best Picture, Best Actor for Jean Dujardin and Best Director for Michel Hazanivicius. But ‘Hugo’ gave it a run for its money, also bringing home five awards (though none in the major categories).

Everyone has their own predictions as to which movie will snag the 2012 Oscar for Best Picture, but apparently no one’s guess is more important than that of ‘The Artist’s‘ top dog Uggie. Jimmy Kimmel brought the 9-year-old Jack Russell on his show to settle this great debate once and for all.

On Sunday, Hollywood will once again congratulate itself on a year of jobs well done. What’s unbelievably ridiculous about the Academy Awards is that in a sea of incredibly talented performances, the award can go to only one person. It just seems wrong.

From what we can gather, the infant star of the ‘Don’t Call Me Oscar’ Tumblr is actually named Sophia. But other than that, all we know about the adorable youngster is that she is taking a “journey through the best picture nominees,” as it says on the site’s tagline.

For those of us who don’t spend our lives and retirement funds making movies, the actual awards part of the Academy Awards isn’t the most interesting. The people we like hardly ever win and we don’t care how much anybody’s publicist helped them get where they are today. What we really tune in to see are the fashion statements. More specifically the fashions that state, “Clearly, I’m nuts. Aren’t y

Republic of Wadiya ruler Admiral General Shabazz Aladeen (AKA actor Sacha Baron Cohen) angrily spoke out on ‘Today’ for being banned from this Sunday’s Academy Awards. Readers will recall that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences reportedly revoked Baron Cohen’s tickets after he threatened to show up as the fictional tyrant from his new movie ‘The Dictator.’
