oscars

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...

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 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

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.

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.

Ever since Eddie Murphy pulled out of hosting duties for the 2013 Academy Awards telecast, there has been a bunch of speculation regarding who was going to step up and run the show. Today rumors were put to rest when it was announced that 'Family Guy' creator Seth MacFarlane was taking the prized spot.

There’s been a ton of rumors spreading around about the possibility of late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon taking on the most prestigious awards show in the nation: the Oscars. But the rumors are now put to rest as Jimmy Fallon speaks up about the hosting job.

Mike Myers has never been nominated for an Academy Award. A fact that shouldn’t shock anybody who has seen ‘The Love Guru.’ But despite this oversight, Myers is still a very talented actor. Don’t believe us? Check out his hilarious turn as Oscar etiquette expert Sir Cecil Worthington in this promotional video for the 2012 Academy Awards.

Last week Eddie Murphy quit as 2012 Academy Award host and was quickly replaced by Billy Crystal, and apparently it was the right choice. According to a new survey from Poll Position, more people prefer Billy Crystal over Eddie Murphy when it comes to hosting the Oscars.

When Eddie Murphy quit his upcoming Oscar hosting gig on Wednesday, producers were left with very little time to find a replacement and have reportedly turned to Billy Crystal, once again.

After a tumultuous week that saw director Brett Ratner step down from his post as producer of the 2012 Oscar telecast on Tuesday following controversial comments he made, Eddie Murphy has now announced he will no longer host the ceremony.

Sources close to Academy Awards officials  say comedian and actor Eddie Murphy is being considered to host the Oscars in February. The move is seen as an effort to return to basics — in other words, have one funny act head up the entire ceremony.
