• Matt Damon Knew He Wouldn't Win The Oscar

  By: Jean Bentley | Comment | Mar 12, 3:27pm ET

  As Oscar night approached, it was a widely held belief that Christoph Waltz would take the Best Supporting Actor statuette for Inglourious Basterds.

  After hosting the Academy Awards on Sunday night, Alec Baldwin partied. Then he did what any sensible person would do and he blogged about the whole experience. Happily, this gives us a peek into the world of Oscar and Alec’s psyche. What did we learn? Alec loves (500) Days of … More

• Academy: Farrah Omission Not An Oversight

  By: Crushable Staff | Comment | Mar 9, 1:58pm ET

  The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences is refusing to apologize for not including Farrah Fawcett in its In Memoriam montage on Sunday. It’s the same story every year — there are always simply too many people who have passed away to include in the short montage. As an … More

• Internal Office Debate: Zoe Saldana's Dress

  By: Erin Carlson | 2 Comments | Mar 8, 1:00pm ET

  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

• Academy Doesn't Forget About John Hughes

  By: Amanda Ernst | Comment | Mar 8, 10:43am ET

  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

• I'm The King Of The World Now...Bitch

  By: Amanda Ernst | Comment | Mar 8, 10:00am ET

  Kathryn Bigelow’s Best Director win last night was history making, in more ways than one. Not only was she the first woman ever to take home the honor, she also bested her ex-husband James Cameron and his juggernaut box office buster Avatar. The Hurt Locker, which went on to win … More

• Was Clooney In On His Oscar Reaction Shots?

  By: Jean Bentley | Comment | Mar 7, 10:30pm ET

  George Clooney was looking particularly stony-faced during Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin’s opening Oscar monologue. The hosts were systematically skewering pretty much every famous person in there, and George wasn’t having any of it. Was The Cloonster having a bad night, or do you think he was in on the … More

• Video: NPH Opens Oscars With A Song

  By: Amanda Ernst | Comment | Mar 7, 10:17pm ET

  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. Then the show opened…and there was Neil Patrick Harris, the host of this past year’s Tony Awards, in a sequined … More

• Oscar Poll: Best Picture

  By: Jean Bentley | 1 Comment | Mar 5, 4:06pm ET

  The Academy has caught a lot of flak for opening up the Best Picture Oscar field to ten films. Realistically, we think only half of them have a chance of winning. But it’s a great way to recognize other movies that might not have been noticed ’round Oscar nomination time. … More

• Will Kathryn Bigelow's Ex Eclipse A Win?

  By: Jean Bentley | Comment | Mar 5, 3:24pm ET

  Controversy of the Day: Anyone talking about the Best Director Oscar race can’t mention either Kathryn Bigelow or James Cameron without bringing up the fact that the two used to be married. We’re guilty too — it’s a little trivia tidbit that spices up the usually kinda-boring analysis of the … More

• Jeremy Renner's Reality TV Past

  By: Jean Bentley | 1 Comment | Mar 5, 1:33pm ET

  Jeremy Renner tackles some seriously heavy subject matter as a bomb defuser in The Hurt Locker. But before he landed that role, he dabbled in…reality TV?
  It’s true: before he was Oscar nominated for his role in the Iraq war drama, Jeremy had his life documented on Bravo’s 2002 reality series … More
