Emerald Catron — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 19:05:54 +0000

Don't worry. Soon it will all be over. The Oscars were last night, which means there are no more awards, no more Super Bowl, no more big elections for a long time. Soon your Facebook will go back to normal. But first, here is a little bit more Oscar stuff for your perusal.

These are the best memes, GIFs and other visual jokes that have cropped up on the Web as commentary on last night's show. Yes, many of them are about Jennifer Lawrence's trip. (What, you thought people would be making memes about the Best Live Action Short Film category? Enjoy!

Emerald Catron — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 16:09:37 +0000

We know it’s been a few hours since you’ve seen this, so you’re probably jonesing pretty bad for Seth MacFarlanes ‘We Saw Your Boobs’ song he performed at the Oscars last night.

2013 Oscar Moments You May Have Missed

Christine Gritmon — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 05:48:40 +0000

Another Oscar night down, and all things told, this one really wasn't as bad as many anticipated. Sure, all the major awards went as predicted. Sure, Seth MacFarlane insisted on putting one of his animated characters in there. (At least it wasn't Stewie.) And sure, he sang a ridiculously infantile song about boobs.

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 [...]

Watch Adele Sing 'Skyfall' at the 2013 Oscars

Emerald Catron — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 04:02:09 +0000

Here she is, the "unstoppable" Adele, performing the Oscar-nominated song 'Skyfall' at the 2013 Academy Awards. As you can see, she pretty much kills it. Although what do you expect from Adele? What do you think of her performance? Was it Oscar-worthy? Was it better than fellow Bond theme song performer Shirley Bassey's turn at the mic? Let us know in the comments

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

Cameron Simcik — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 01:55:28 +0000

We'll cut to the chase-- Jennifer Lawrence is awesome. For starters, she blew us away in 'The Hunger Games' and recently rocked her gig as SNL host. If you haven't heard, J-Law also starred in the Oscar-nominated film 'Silver Linings Playbook,' for which she racked up a nom for Best Actress.

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.

Jeremy Taylor — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 22:35:31 +0000

While 'The Simpsons' has won 27 Emmys, the Springfield family has never won an Oscar, no thanks to 'The Simpsons Movie.'

Totally Legit Oscar Predictions From a Person Who Saw None of the Movies

Emerald Catron — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:30:46 +0000

Okay, so maybe once again I accidentally didn’t watch any of the movies that were nominated for Oscars. That doesn’t mean I don’t have some predictions up my sleeve. I’m pretty good at this, so you should take me at least as seriously as that cross-eyed possum from a few years ago. This is what [...]

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 [...]

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).

'Les Mis' Fans Freak Out on Twitter Over Oscar Noms

Emerald Catron — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:39:56 +0000

Universal Pictures

Hey, did you hear about the Oscar nominations? We're guessing Ben Affleck isn't the only one crying -- hordes of musical theater fans are losing it too. Who would have thought that people whose idea of entertainment is to be whipped into an emotional frenzy through overwrought song and dance would flip out when their genre of choice gets not one, but eight nominations (even though that wasn't enough for some of them). Some of them ( a lot, actually) couldn't contain themselves and had to direct some of their boundless enthusiasm towards Twitter. Here's what's they're saying.

Angelina Jolie's Leg Is Now an Internet Meme, Of Course

Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 15:52:25 +0000

When Jim Rash, who had just accepted the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay from Angelina Jolie, imitated the right leg exposed pose that the actress was for some reason doing throughout the entire Academy Awards, it became the first example of "Jolie'ing." Then when his co-winners Alexander Payne and Nat Faxon followed suit in the imitation, Jolie'ing officially become a trend.

Now Jolie'ing is making its bid to be a full-blown photo meme, much like Tebowing, Planking or Supermanning.

Steven Tyler Weighs In Jennifer Lopez's 'Oscar Nipple-Gate'

Jeremy Taylor — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 16:31:48 +0000

Given his debauched rock star past, Steven Tyler is a man who knows his female anatomy. The Aerosmith singer put that knowledge to use on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' Monday, and did his part to settle the debate over Jennifer Lopez's nipple that's been going on since Sunday's Academy Awards.
