Reese Witherspoon Says Ryan Phillippe’s Joke About Her Making More Money At The 2002 Oscars Was Not Planned
Catch Reese Witherspoon on the right day, and she might talk your ear off about herself. But catch her off guard, and you might find her totally speechless! Like when her then-husband Ryan Phillippe cracked a joke about her making more money than him when the two presented at the 2002 Academy Awards. All Reese could do was twist her face into an awkward smile while gasping nervously. And 18 years later, Reese has said she had no idea Ryan was going to publicly call her out as the biggest moneymaker in their marriage.
Jennifer Lawrence “Confronted” Anderson Cooper For Suggesting She Faked Her Oscar Fall
When Jennifer Lawrence won the Best Actress Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook in 2013, she went up to get that golden hunk statue and ate the staircase like the clumsy fool she is. That’s right, Jennifer would go on to fall numerous times after that and each one was more authentic than the one before–so she claimed. There were some among us who thought her falling was part of a greater conspiracy, and one of those people apparently was Anderson Cooper. Jennifer wasn’t having it and she said that she “confronted” the CNN anchor about the fall and made sure the message was clear: She was clumsy!
The Academy Announced New Diversity And Inclusion Requirements For The Best Picture Oscar
I always forget that this year’s Oscars actually happened, because thinking of February 2020 makes the dilapidated projector in my brain project OldRoseItsBeen84Years.GIF onto the inner walls of my mind. So 2024 feels like three millenniums away, and well, if 2024 ever happens, filmmakers hoping to get that Best Picture Oscar will have to meet new inclusion and diversity requirements that the Academy has thrown down. It seems like the new rules will be pretty easy to follow if studios want a shot at Best Picture and the bar is so low that only baby ants can do the limbo under it, but still, people are already blowing out steams of rage over it, including Kirstie Alley who thinks these new rules are fucking with art. Listen, of course, Kirstie Alley cares about the sanctity of art. I mean, she was in For Richer Or Poorer.
The 2021 Oscars Might Be Postponed Due To The Coronavirus
Are you a fan of long-winded, rambling acceptance speeches? Were you eagerly anticipating the chance to see previous Best Supporting Actor winner Brad Pitt announce the Best Supporting Actress winner by winking and saying, “C’mon up here and get yer trophy, darlin“? If you answered yes to either of those, I have terrible news for you. There’s a chance you’re going to have to wait a while for the 93rd Academy Awards. Variety is reporting that the 2021 Oscars will “likely” be postponed.
Open Post: Hosted By Elizabeth Gillies’s Spot-On Recreation Of Angelina Jolie’s Oscar Speech
Cast your minds back to a simpler time. Like 2000, when the most controversial thing you could do at an awards show was make-out with your brother in front of the cameras. Well, someone is clearly feeling the boredom of self-isolation because Elizabeth Gillies of Dynasty 2.0 has attempted to recreate Angelina Jolie‘s Best Supporting Actress Oscar speech in all its creepy glory. And while we don’t get any incestuous tongue action in this clip, it’s pretty accurate nonetheless.
Donald Trump Called Brad Pitt Names And Complained About “Parasite” Winning Best Picture At The Oscars
Depending on who you ask, Donald Trump’s favorite movie is either Citizen Kane or Bloodsport starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. But at a recent rally, Donald shouted out two more classic films, Gone With The Wind and Sunset Boulevard, as examples of the kind of movies that should be winning Academy Awards instead of foreign filth like Parasite. According to CNN, at a campaign rally in Colorado yesterday, Donald showed his ass yet again by reminding us he’s completely infatuated with Hollywood. He’s also racist, and while his actual talents are few and far between, I have to hand it to him for his ability to combine the two so seamlessly. Donald also took a shot at Brad Pitt calling him a “little wise guy” over his Oscars acceptance speech, disrespecting both Joe Pesci and Yoda in the process.
