As this was the “young and hip!” Academy Awards, host James Franco took advantage of that new fangled thingy called the internet and posted photos online as the event was happening. My personal fave of his photos was this one, featuring an insanely baked looking Franco, a deer-in-headlights Oprah, and a so-perky-we-could-slap-her Anne Hathaway. [Who Say] Keep reading »
We’ll be posting all about the Oscars tomorrow, but I couldn’t resist giving you a little tease. Helena Bonham Carter swore that she would be a “catastrophe” on the red carpet, but I think her Union Jack garter belt — on her calve?! — is pure insane genius. I love this woman so hard. Keep reading »
Happy Oscar Day! In just a few hours, the stars will start walking the red carpet and hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway will be double- and triple-checking that they’ve got their lines down. In honor of Hollywood’s biggest award show — and no doubt because they have a raging crush on him like we do — the blog Lovelyish has put together the Definitive Collection of James Franco GIFs. Check out a couple more after the jump and the rest here. Keep reading »

Five years later, the Academy decided to adopt the name for themselves. Just a little trivia for you to bust out at your viewing party. [Oscars.org] Keep reading »
I’m very excited for the Oscars this Sunday — I am a sucker for an awards show, especially during years when I like a lot of the nominated films and actors. For example, I love Mark Ruffalo, who is nominated for one of my favorite movies of the year, “The Kids Are Alright.” And I love him even more now that I know we both were brace-faces. And are those rubber bands I see? Sigh. Check out more hilarious photos of Oscar nominees before they were stars, including a shy James Franco and Jeremy Renner with a radical flattop, here.
