Academy Awards

Because getting to wear free gowns and jewelry and earn zillions of dollars isn't quite enough for Hollywood's elite, many go to the Oscars just for the swag. And for the 2013 Oscars, that swag includes a copy of Leeza Gibbons' book. Bet you're totes jelly!

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.

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...

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...

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! This year's race is a doozy, and it's safe to say you've got some questions. Well, we've got answers! While we can't guarantee the accuracy of these answers, we can guarantee the

This year, in a continuing quest by the Academy to make the Oscars “cool” (if you ignore last year), comedian and 'Family Guy' creator Seth MacFarlane was chosen to don a tux and bow tie and host the star-studded event. To drum up press for the upcoming ceremony, MacFarlane proved that the event coordinators may have finally done something right.

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...

The stars burn brightest during Oscar season. But for some the spotlight is short-lived, even when they win.

The Oscars are less than a week away, and the list of presenters continues to grow. The show's producers, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, announced a new slew of names today that we can look forward to seeing on Sunday; check out the full list after the break.

The 2013 Oscars are right around the corner and it's always more fun to watch the awards when you have a rooting interest. Even if you haven't seen all the nominated films, we can help you get caught up in two major categories: Best Original and Best Adapted Screenplay. We've got all ten of the Oscar-nominated scripts - from 'Django' to 'Argo' and everything in-between - available for you to downl

The annual Oscar Nominees Lunch was held at the Beverly Hilton on Monday (Feb. 4), which meant free food, free booze and a 'Highlander' style fight to prove that there can be only one. LOL JK, that's what Oscar night is for.

Yesterday we brought you the news that Adele will be appearing at the 2013 Oscars to perform the Best Original Song nominated "Skyfall." But now there’s even bigger James Bond news to share: it’s looking like every actor who has portrayed the classic character are set to appear on stage together for the first time ever to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of James Bond. This calls for a mar

As the Academy prepares to pay tribute to James Bond during next month's 2013 Oscar ceremony, the show's producers recently announced that one of the movie franchise's most memorable songs, the nominated "Skyfall," will be performed on stage by Adele. We are already marking this down as a "must see" moment of the night.

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

The Oscars are fast approaching (because that's how time works) and ABC wants to remind you to watch the event, which will helpfully be held on "Oscar Sunday." The day has thus been christened to help with pesky questions like, "Wait, when are the Oscars again?" To which you can now reply, "On Oscar Sunday, you dolt."

When Seth MacFarlane was announced as the host of the 2013 Oscars we wondered whether MacFarlane would bring some of his more famous characters to the big show. Well we won't have to wait until February 24 to find out. Star Mark Wahlberg confirmed that he and "Ted" will appear together on stage at the 2013 Oscars.
