March 5, 2013 When Adele appeared at on the Oscar Awards a couple of weeks ago she was literally worth a million bucks thanks to her Oscar makeover. The costly make over made her look fabulous but it was short lived.
February 27, 2013 My favorite late night talk show is Jimmy Kimmel Live, every Monday night during the opening of the show they count how many times the word - amazing - is said during The Bachelor. It's really kind of funny when you focus on one word to see how many times it is said and then it starts sounding funny after time.
There's been no shortage of controversy following the 2013 Oscars, most of it dealing with host Seth MacFarlane's particular brand of comedy, which is either hilariously crude or mean-spirited and misogynistic, depending on who you ask. But with ratings higher than last year's ceremony (40.3 million people tuned in to watch 'Argo' win Best Picture), you'd wonder if the Academy would decide that further outcry was worth it and ask the 'Family Guy' creator back for a second time. However, MacFarlane himself preemptively answered that question on Twitter.
We expected well-known satirical news site the Onion to take some pot-shots during the 2013 Oscars, but we never expected them to refer to 9-year-old Best Actress nominee Quvenzhané Wallis as a not very nice word that, as the closing number joked, rhymes with Helen Hunt.
Last year after the Oscars 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' premiere the fake trailer for the fake movie 'Movie: The Movie' that featured just about every actor in Hollywood. This year Jimmy is back with the sequel no one was asking for with 'Movie: The Movie: V2' with another all-star cast.
After a rather entertaining open to the 2013 Oscars, host Seth MacFarlane clearly didn’t want it to end with just the hurried list of sponsors and the usual “let’s get to your local news as quickly as possible even though we just sucked 4 hours of your life away” attitude of the closing.
How do we know that? Because he made sure there was a really awesome closing song.
Dedicated to the evening’s losers.
Michelle Obama and Jack Nicholson, who, aside from their awesomeness couldn't be more different, announced the winner for Best Picture at the 2013 Oscars -- and it was none other than 'Argo.'
And though he could have, Ben Affleck didn't rub anyone's nose in it. He's a much better person than we are.
Because it’s always fun to award the Oscar for Best Achievement in Directing to a director for whom English is a second language -- will we ever forget ‘Life Is Beautiful’ and Roberto Benigni? -- the Academy chose Ang Lee. Although Michael Haneke for ‘Amour’ was probably a close second.
Daniel Day-Lewis won the Best Actor Oscar for 'Lincoln' -- his third such trophy, which set a new record.
Jennifer Lawrence didn't beat Meryl this time ... but only because Streep wasn't nominated for anything at the 2013 Oscars. Instead, J-Law beat Jessica Chastain, Quvenzhané Wallis, Naomi Watts and Emmanuelle Riva to win Best Actress.
And she fell down.
