Since she won an Oscar for Best Original Song her effort with ‘Skyfall,’ it would stand to reason that producers and powers-that-be of the James Bond franchise would want songstress Adele to record another Bond theme. A source told The Sun that “producers are thrilled by how well the song has been received and hope [...]

The Word 'Amazing' — Is it Overused? [VIDEO + POLL]

Lucky Larry — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 15:16:38 +0000

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.

2013 Oscars: Seth MacFarlane Says There is "No Way" He'll Host Again

Jacob Hall — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 18:04:19 +0000

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.

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.

Kathy Landin — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 05:59:03 +0000

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.

2013 Oscars – Ang Lee Wins Best Director for 'Life of Pi' [VIDEO]

Kathy Landin — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 05:16:59 +0000

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. Ang Lee is not a [...]

Cassandra Rose — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 05:15:54 +0000

Daniel Day-Lewis won the Best Actor Oscar for ‘Lincoln‘ — his third such trophy, which set a new record.

Jessica Sager — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 05:14:14 +0000

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.

The much anticipated “In Memoriam” segment of the 2013 Oscars had us wondering one thing: “Where’s Barbra Streisand?” Not because we’re horrible people and wished her dead — but because it took a while for Her Highness to make her much-anticipated entrance.

Adele Brings the House Down With 'Skyfall' at the 2013 Oscars [VIDEO]

Jessica Sager — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 04:23:26 +0000

The 2013 Oscars were business as usual for Adele. And by “business as usual,” we mean “she slayed and acted like it was nothing.” With her flowing strawberry blond hair down instead of in her usual bouffant, the British chanteuse looked looser than ever, and her performance of the Oscar-winning ‘Skyfall’ reflected as much. Owning [...]

2013 Oscars – Anne Hathaway Wins Best Supporting Actress + Doesn't Bother Acting Surprised [VIDEO]

Kathy Landin — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 04:00:22 +0000

As even our pet rocks predicted, Anne Hathaway won the Oscar for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role for her portrayal of Fantine in ‘Les Miserables.’

It’s okay when they give Dame Judi Dench an Oscar for barely appearing in a film -- look up ‘Shakespeare In Love’ -- but she’s a Dame. We aren't sure it's cool if the actress hasn't been recognized by the Queen.

For her role, Anne Hathaway cut off her hair and cried while she sang and then she was done. It’s possible the Academy – while not surprising us at all – may have disappointed us just a bit.
