Ben Affleck Whispered Something to Jennifer Lopez...But What?
Kelly Conaboy · 02/25/15 02:20PMWhat do we know about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez? We know they are celebrities, for one. We know they are former lovers, as well as actors. We know their names. Finally, we know that they are Oscar presenters who attended the 2015 Oscars without their significant others Jennifer Garner and Casper Smart, respectively. Seems like a lot of things that we know, yes, but I can assure you there is at least one thing we don't know about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.
Watch Michael Keaton Scramble to Hide His Oscar Speech
Aleksander Chan · 02/24/15 02:40PMOh my God, Michael Keaton thought he was going to win Best Actor. Oscar prognosticators had Redmayne and Birdman's Michael Keaton nearly neck-and-neck for the prize. Keaton was ready to win. He wanted to win. Oh my God, he wanted to win so bad and then he didn't and then he had to stuff his acceptance speech back in his jacket pocket and it was so, so, so sad Jesus.
John Travolta's Oscars 2015 Message: I Love Women Sexually
Jordan Sargent · 02/23/15 11:53AMAfter staying completely silent for a torturously long period of one year, John Travolta finally broke his legendary silence on his gaffe from last year's Oscars. It turns out that he didn't call Idina Menzel "Adel Dazeem" because he just figured it couldn't be that hard to introduce an award show performance, but because he was distracted by a "charismatic, sexy, beautiful" woman (Goldie Hawn).
Everything You Need to Have Seen From Last Night's Oscars
Kelly Conaboy · 02/23/15 02:05AMSean Penn Announced Best Picture With a Weird Green Card Joke
Jordan Sargent · 02/23/15 01:30AMSean Penn drew this year's Best Picture announcement, and he revealed Birdman as the winner with a bizarre and racist joke about Mexican director Alejandro González Iñárritu: "Who gave this son of a bitch his green card?" What a way to end the show!

Max Read · 02/23/15 01:25AMHere's Imitation Game writer Graham Moore's Oscars acceptance speech. Full text below.
The Hills Are Alive With the Sound of Lady Gaga Killinnnn' It
Dayna Evans · 02/22/15 11:50PMAt this point in Lady Gaga's career, she has begun transitioning from spicy pop tart in a meat suit to subdued Barbara Streisand ballad-singer, and when she was called in to a perform a medley of Sound of Music staples in the stead of Julie Andrews, she did not disappoint. In fact, she sounded amazing. A real stunner.
John Travolta Interacts Naturally With Woman's Face
Jordan Sargent · 02/22/15 11:43PMJohn Travolta and Idina Menzel presented Best Original Song tonight with a bit that referenced Travolta's pronunciation screw up at last year's Academy Awards, which you certainly have never forgotten nor wished to forget. The whole thing was totally boring and predictable but it did include a very normal interaction between Travolta, a man, and Menzel, a woman.
The Performance of "Glory" is Tonight's Highlight So Play It On Repeat
Dayna Evans · 02/22/15 11:35PMJohn Legend and Common came together tonight for a stirring performance of "Glory," the song they wrote for civil rights film Selma. Because the Oscars have thus far been lackluster, uncomfortable, and flat (as they tend to be), watching the two perform "Glory" on an Edmund Pettus Bridge was tonight's standout and the night ain't even over.
Terrence Howard Is Fucked Up
Rich Juzwiak · 02/22/15 10:59PMWhile doing that thing where people come out and talk about nominees for Best Picture (in this case: Whiplash, The Imitation Game, and Selma), Terrence Howard almost started crying. When he did this, I thought he was leading into an introduction of the notoriously snubbed Civil Rights drama Selma. He was not leading into that, but into The Imitation Game, the Alan Turing biopic. OK, then. I guess he really likes Alan Turing?
Where the Hell Was Joan Rivers in the Oscars' Remembrance Slog?
Leah Finnegan · 02/22/15 10:53PMThe Oscars never forgets to honor its dead with an outsize, syrupy montage embedded somewhere in the last half of the broadcast when most of the audience is drunk or sleeping. This year there were many personalities to be remembered: Robin Williams, Mike Nichols, a few marketing directors that were likely important in some way, and for some reason Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Why Did Rita Ora Bow?
Dayna Evans · 02/22/15 10:30PMThis Academy Award Winner Just Held His Oscar Like It Was His Dick
Sam Biddle · 02/22/15 10:10PMThe Academy Awards that go to movies you haven't seen are usually a little forgettable, but check this out: two British dudes just won for short film, and one of them pretended his statuette was his willie.
Patricia Arquette Demands Women Get PAID and Meryl Streep Loves It
Rich Juzwiak · 02/22/15 10:07PMMiles Teller, For Christ's Sake, Just Ask Margot Robbie Out
Dayna Evans · 02/22/15 09:55PMPoland Finally Wins a War
Taylor Berman · 02/22/15 09:31PMAfter the very beautiful and very boring Polish movie Ida won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, director Pawel Pawlikowski spoke for about 30 seconds before the orchestra began playing him off, just as he was thanking his late wife. As the music swelled so did Pawlikowski's voice, until the show's producers finally admitted defeat and cut off the orchestra. His steadfastness inspires us all.
Wes Anderson Brought His Girlfriend to the Oscars, She's Pretty I Guess
Leah Finnegan · 02/22/15 09:21PMWes Anderson, a mouse-man and also a movie director, is at the Oscars tonight with a decidedly "alt" looking woman. HMMM. How did she get in? Who is she? Is she a spy? My viewing companion says she looks like a two-bit Rachael Leigh Cook, but I am impressed by her hair, which looks natural, her face, which looks natural, her willingness to be myopic in public, and her vintage wedding dress.
Tegan and Sara Look So Good
Dayna Evans · 02/22/15 09:15PMDakota Johnson's Mom Is So Embarrassing MOM I HATE U
Allie Jones · 02/22/15 09:10PMDakota Johnson brought her mom Melanie Griffith to the Oscars tonight, and Jaysusss was she embarrassing. It turns out that Mel hasn't seen Fifty Shades of Grey, and she doesn't really plan on seeing Fifty Shades of Grey, because she doesn't have to see "that" to know Dakota is a great actress. Moommm.
