  I’m having an argument with Crushable’s deputy editor Amanda Ernst over Zoe Saldana’s polarizing Oscar dress: Amanda thinks it’s fugs, and I think it’s awesome.
  Me: I am right and you are wrong. You clearly do not understand awesomeness when you see it. Zoe’s gown, designed by Givenchy, is stunning on … More

  The In Memoriam montage is one of those parts of the Academy Awards that we look forward to every year. This year, we heard the theme from Ghost and at first were confused and then it hit us: montage time! Patrick Swayze was one of the movie stars we lost … More

  After the summer of death that was 2009, it was heartwarming to see that the one moviemaker who the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences chose to honor at this year’s Oscars was writer/director/producer John Hughes. Although he may not have contributed as much to the world of film … More

  During the red carpet pre-show for the Academy Awards tonight, Ryan Seacrest babbled on about someone from another award show making an appearance at the Oscars later in the night.

• Oscar Poll: Supporting Actor/Actress

  By: Erin Carlson | Comment | Mar 2, 2:17pm ET
