2014 Oscars: Seth MacFarlane Asked to Host Again

Mike Sampson — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 15:12:30 +0000

At this year Oscars, Seth MacFarlane caused quite a controversy as he hosted the ceremony with a number of risque bits and jokes (most notably the "We Saw Your Boobs" song from the opening monologues) but that was exactly what Oscar producers hoped MacFarlane would bring to the normally staid production. The 'Family Guy' creator previously said he has no interest in returning, the producers seemed to have liked the controversy (and the ratings that went with it) and MacFarlane has officially been invited to return to host the 2014 Oscars.

Jimmy Kimmel Enlists Tons of Stars for 'Movie: The Movie: 2V'

Kyle Dowling — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:04:07 +0000

After last year's Academy Award ceremonies, Jimmy Kimmel introduced us to 'Movie: The Movie,' a faux film trailer now holding over 20 million views. And last night, with the 2013 ceremonies freshly in our rearview, the host did it again with 'Movie: The Movie: 2V.'

See Jennifer Lawrence Being Adorable Backstage After Her Oscar Win

Emerald Catron — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:18:14 +0000

If there's one thing to be learned from this Oscar season, it's that everybody loves Jennifer Lawrence. Her down-to-Earth attitude and wacky sense of humor easily make her our most GIF-ready star. So h

Watch Jennifer Hudson Kill It at the 2013 Oscars

Emerald Catron — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 04:14:48 +0000

Since the “theme” for the 2013 Academy Awards is music in movies, it makes sense that Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson would be called upon to perform the big number from the movie that won her the prize, ‘Dreamgirls.’ Here she is singing a bit of ‘And I’m Telling You.’ This number followed a pretty jazzed-up bit [...]

See Mark Wahlberg and Ted Present at the 2013 Oscars

Emerald Catron — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 03:53:32 +0000

If you thought Stewie Griffin was going to be Seth MacFarlane’s first dive into his own body of work at the Oscars, looks like you lost. Rascally cartoon bear Ted made an appearance with his movie co-star Mark Wahlberg to present the Oscar for Best Sound Mixing. Of course first they had to talk about [...]

The Craziest Fashions of Oscar Night 2013

Cameron Simcik — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 03:06:52 +0000

When it comes to taking fashion risks, awards shows are the ideal time to just buck up and go for it. There are like, millions of people watching, after all. That being said, it does take a whole 'lotta guts to ere on the side of crazy couture, but this year's Oscars were bound to have some of those fashion risks, right? You betcha! Check out the craziest getups from the Red Carpet.

Christoph Waltz Wins Best Supporting Actor at the 2013 Oscars

Jacob Hall — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 02:02:59 +0000

It was one of the most hotly contested categories at the 2013 Academy Awards, but Christoph Waltz squeaked ahead of some very tough competition and took home some Oscar gold, winning Best Supporting Actor for his role in Quentin Tarantino's 'Django Unchained.' This was not an easy victory, especially since every nominee in this category was a past winner!

Jack Nicholson Is Confused at the Oscars

Emerald Catron — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 03:02:04 +0000

Jack Nicholson seemed even more confused than usual when he got caught off-guard on-camera at the Oscars on Sunday night. Plenty of 'Weekend at Bernie's' jokes abounded on the web. A GIF was spawned. But perhaps nothing captured the senior moment better than this picture made by twitter user Samir Mezrahi. Observe brilliance in its pure form:

Watch Seth MacFarlane's 2013 Oscars Opening Monologue

Emerald Catron — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 01:58:38 +0000

Here it is. The bit that puts Seth MacFarlane either on a course to success or so many hours of suck. William Shatner seemed like an … odd choice, but maybe it’s a sign that this is just the beginning of a four-hour episode of ‘Family Guy.’ Here’s part two: What did you think of [...]

The Best Oscars 2013 Tweets

Emerald Catron — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 01:34:23 +0000

Why sort through hundreds and hundreds of Oscars tweets, when we will do that for you? We've picked out our favorites and are compiling them here so you don't have to read Pantene commercials or people just saying "OSCARS! OSCARS!! OSCARS!!!"

Quvenzhané Wallis' Puppy Purse Stole the Oscar Red Carpet

Cameron Simcik — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 00:55:23 +0000

Quvenzhané Wallis is the adorable girl who played "Hushpuppy" in the Oscar-nominated film 'Beasts of the Southern Wild,' and America's been going wild over the cutie pie ever since. (She just scored the role of Annie in Jay-Z's big screen update of the classic musical.) This nine-year-old (yes, NINE) is up for the Best Actress award at tonight's Oscars, and there's no doubt she's holding her own among veteran celebs. We think this has something to do with her puppy purse.

Kids Star in the 2012 Best Picture Nominees

Emerald Catron — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:25:53 +0000

If you're not in the know, a movie has been "sweded" when somebody does a low-budget recreation of it. Now that you know, look at these little kids doing all the movies nominated for Best Picture Oscars. While these are not the most faithful swedes we've ever seen, they are

10 Vintage Oscar Moments

Emerald Catron — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:13:06 +0000

We’ve got some guesses as to what’s going to happen at the Oscars this Sunday. Nick Nolte’s already told us about his pet crow, so we’re guessing it’s just going to be women wearing insanely expensive, unnecessarily frilly, sparkly dresses giving canned answers and men in tuxedos posing for cameras. These pictures from the Academy [...]

The 10 Weirdest Oscar Moments Ever

Danny Groner — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:36:49 +0000

Everyone will be glued to their TVs on Sunday for the Academy Awards, a night that both entertainers and fans will be talking about in the days that follow. One of the great traditions of the annual ceremony celebrating the best of the past year of Hollywood is how unpredictable and outrageous it can get

Are The Oscar Nominators Watching The Same Movies The Rest Of Us Watch?

Andy West — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 01:30:09 +0000

Does it seem like every year when they announce the Oscar nominations they aren't the same movies most people go to Carmike Cinemas to watch? For instance here is a list of the current top 10 movies: A Good Day To Die Hard, Identity Thief, Safe Haven, Escape From Planet Earth, Warm Bodies, Beautiful Creatures, Side Effects, Silver Linings Playbook, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters and Zero Dark Thirty

Oscar Movie Mashups We Want to See

Christine Gritmon — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 21:55:37 +0000

Around awards season it can seem like if you’ve seen one Oscar contender, you’ve seen them all. The same rote drama, suspense, beautiful actresses playing ugly…it can grow tiresome. We’ve livened up a few of the films that have received Oscar nods by mashing them together to form new movies we’d actually want to see. Because seeing Ralph smash 19th [...]

Nick Nadel — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:24:54 +0000

It's that time of year again, when the weather is chilly and we all read Wikipedia entries on American foreign policy in Afghanistan so we don't sound like idiots while discussing 'Zero Dark Thirty.' Oscar season is here!

Oscar Fever Movies We're Super Embarrassed By Now

Emerald Catron — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 19:25:33 +0000

The Academy Awards are this Sunday, and people are placing bets and getting generally riled up about who will be taking home Oscars. If time has taught us anything, however, it's that it's best to keep your cool this time of year, because in like 10 years you are going to be seriously embarrassed about that 'American Beauty' movie poster you had in your bedroom in high school. Ugh. Why?! Of course, that's not the only

Past Oscar Winners Then and Now

Kristy Puchko — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 14:58:55 +0000

The stars burn brightest during Oscar season. But for some the spotlight is short-lived, even when they win. With all the talk of stars and snubs, established luminaries finally getting their due, and ingénues dazzling audiences, we wondered what happened to some the Academy Award winners who have come before. And so we took a [...]

See the Oscar Nominated Movies With Adorable Dog Actors

Christine Gritmon — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 20:39:54 +0000

The Oscars just won’t be the same this year without Uggie the Dog in attendance, but fear not! We refuse to live in a world where there isn't at least one dog at the Oscars, and we also refuse to do anything in moderation. Naturally we must present these posters for seven Oscar-nominated films if they’d featured all-canine casts. Take that, reality. We wonder which one will *fetch* the most awards this year (hahahahaha sorry).
