17 Reasons Anne Hathaway is Better Than You (and Jennifer Lawrence)
Do you all seriously find her ginormous puppy dog eyes and crazy girl smile annoying? I don’t buy it. I think she seems like someone I’d like to be best friends with, just like Taylor Swift. You know who I hate, that everyone else seems to love? Jennifer Lawrence.
The 3 Best Parody Twitter Accounts Created During Last Night’s Oscars
After last night’s Oscar’s Red Carpet, Anne Hathaway’s nipples were given their own Twitter account, made by an anonymous person who just felt Anne’s nips deserved a place to speak their mind. But they weren’t the only ones enjoying 15 minutes of fame.

So Who Was Best Dressed At the Oscars? [Gallery]
The Oscars is Hollywood’s biggest beauty pageant where the stars bring out their A-game outfits.
The Most Memorable Oscar Speeches [Video]
The Oscars are on tonight! This marks the end of award season (sad!), but it also gives us another excuse to be lazy on Sunday night and pretend we’re Joan Rivers as we critique what everyone is wearing. That’s all well and good, but what I truly care about are the acceptance speeches.
Before They Were Oscar Nominees [Sundays Are For Procrastinating]
One of my favorite things to do before the big night is watch other movies and clips featuring the nominees from before they were nominees. It’s cool to see how far the nominees have come from starring in commercials and B-grade (sometimes C-grade) movies.
Guess Who Is Hosting The 85th Annual Oscars?!
So some exciting news just broke this week about who is going to host the 85h annual Oscars. Here’s some clues to who the host will be:
The Most Stand-Out Oscar Moments…For Better Or Worse
Everybody knows that the the most important part of the Oscars is the red carpet. And maybe some of the big awards, but they save those for last. Everything in between is just the producers trying – sometimes desperately – to hold on to our attention. Last night, the parade of award presentations and acceptance speeches was sometimes adorable, sometimes boring and sometimes made us want to change the channel.

Oscar Predictions 2012
The most anticipated awards show of the year is finally here! The Academy Awards, while not as relaxed as the Golden Globes, are probably my favorite part of February.
Things That Michael Fassbender’s Penis Has Ruined
The LA Times thinks that Michael Fassbender’s penis ruined his chance at an Oscar. Really. It’s pretty well known that the Academy is a little stuffy, and they tend to be put off by racy scenes. So they may have overlooked Fassbender’s performance because of his full frontal nude scene. Let’s face it – Michael Fassbender’s penis is a real problem.
The 2011 Oscars Fashion Recap
But we all know we don’t watch the Oscars for the show itself. The fashion – from the dresses to the jewels to the shoes – is what really matters. Especially when it’s James Franco wearing all three. Anyways, in case you missed it or didn’t get enough of my quips during the liveblog, check out the most memorable looks from last night’s show.
5 Things That Would Make the Oscars More Interesting
On February 27th you’ll pop your popcorn and plop down on the couch to see yet another award show. The Oscars. The Academy Awards. The best of the best in award shows. (Or at least they seem to think so.) But with all the hype surrounding award shows lately I can’t help but think a regular night at the Oscars might now hold up that well against some of the drama we’ve had surrounding our award shows lately.
Now Showing: Blue Valentine
You may be wondering why, since I usually write about new releases, I have chosen to review Blue Valentine (which was released in late December most places) this week. Well, despite being out for a month, Blue Valentine remains a water cooler topic. The subject is no longer the MPAA’s original decision to give Blue Valentine an NC-17 rating (read my thoughts on that here), but instead it is Michelle Williams’ nomination for Best Actress.
Who Won’t Be Thanking the Academy This Year
The Oscar nominations are in. And the claws are out.
Once the Academy Award nominations are public knowledge you expect there to be gossip, some hurt feelings, some angry fans, and some shocked directors. But this year, things have gone a little too far.
Now Showing: True Grit
Confession: I don’t do well with Westerns. And maybe that sentence makes no sense to you. But I’m thinking that the majority of people reading this review also conjure up images of confusing plotlines, boring shootouts, and racism when they hear the word “Western.” But, all that being said, I loved True Grit.
Now Showing: Black Swan
Black Swan is a psychological thriller starring Natalie Portman as Nina, a perfectionist ballerina who is cast as the Swan Queen in her company’s performance of Swan Lake.
