Oscars

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...

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

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...

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.

For many people, the short film categories at the Oscars serve as an opportunity to run to the bathroom or to grab a beer from the kitchen. After all, what kind of investment can you have in a category where you know nothing about any of the nominees? Well, let's rectify that! All five of the nominees in the Best Animated Short category have popped up online and you can watch them below!

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 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 2013 Oscar nominations were announced this morning and there were plenty of surprises this year. While there were plenty of Oscar nominations we expected - Daniel Day Lewis for 'Lincoln' or Anne Hathaway for 'Les Miserables' - there were also plenty of Oscar snubs. So who were the most notable names that got snubbed when the 2013 Oscar nominations were announced?

At the 2013 Golden Globes, Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig presented the award for Best Actress, Musical or Comedy and were intent on bringing some of their own laughs to the show. Not content to read the scripted banter off the TelePrompTer, the two came up with their own bit that left everyone cracking up ... except Tommy Lee Jones, that is.

It was a good night for Ben Affleck - just a few short minutes after winning Best Director at the 2013 Golden Globes, his film 'Argo' won Best Picture.

Comedienne duo Tina Fey and Amy Poehler tag teamed the 2013 Golden Globes and all we can say is -- thank God, Ricky Gervais didn't get the gig. Poehler warned us in the latest issue of EW that she was planning on making Daniel Day-Lewis cry, but her and her co-host almost made us tear up with their bits on Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Kathryn Bigelow, to name a few.
