Academy awards: Last News

posted on Truth Social. “His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be.”While the rest of America indulged in the shady comments, awkward moments and quirky Oscars humor, Trump apparently couldn’t bear to watch Kimmel host Hollywood’s biggest night.“Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed-up but cheap ABC ‘talent,’ George Slopanopoulos wrote on March 10.

snooze-o-rama Oscars, “Oppenheimer” deservedly took home seven trophies: best picture, director (Christopher Nolan), actor (Cillian Murphy), supporting actor (Robert Downey Jr.), cinematography, score and editing.It wasn’t a brutal beatdown. “Poor Things,” starring Emma Stone, snapped three technical awards away from it (as well as a Best Actress honor for Stone), and Cord Jefferson’s “American Fiction” deprived the atom bomb movie of Best Adapted Screenplay.

win at the 2024 Oscars prevented “Killers of the Flower Moon” star Lily Gladstone from making history as the first Native American woman to win in the category.Stone, 35, tearfully accepted the award for “Poor Things,” although she, too, appeared stunned by her win. She also suffered a wardrobe malfunction onstage, telling the audience that her Louis Vuitton gown had ripped. This is Stone’s second win in the category after taking home a golden statue for “La La Land” in 2017.

“I’m Just Ken” might actually win Best Original Song over “What Was I Made For?” — Billie Eilish’s far superior “Barbie” tune.After all, another Oscar win would make Eilish, 22, and her producer brother, Finneas, 26, the youngest two-time Academy Award winners in history after their victory in 2022 for the Bond theme song “No Time To Die.”Perhaps with some voters thinking “too much, too soon,” an upset seemed to be brewing.But now the siblings are in the history books — as they should be.Sometimes it’s just as simple as real recognizing real — whether it’s at the Oscars or the Grammys.And when Eilish got a standing O from Hollywood’s finest after performing “What Was I Made For?” at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday night, it was an acknowledgement of just how far ahead she was of the other Best Original Song nominees.To be honest, it wasn’t even as hauntingly heartbreaking as her performance of the tune just before it took Song of the Year at the Grammys last month.But it was still real artistry on raw display that was all the chills and feels.“What Was I Made For?” also became only the 10th song in history to win both the Grammy for Song of the Year and the Oscar for Best Original Song.That puts it in some pretty prestigious company, with the likes of “Moon River” (from 1961’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”) “The Way We Were” (from 1973’s “The Way We Were”), “Evergreen” (from 1976’s “A Star Is Born”), “You Light Up My Life” (from 1977’s “You Light Up My Life”), “A Whole New World” (from 1992’s “Aladdin”) and “My Heart Will Go On” (from 1997’s “Titanic”).Bravo, Billie and Finneas.

2024 Oscars were hosted by Jimmy Kimmel on Sunday, March 10, airing on ABC (in the new earlier time slot of 7 p.m.). The Christopher Nolan flick starring Cillian Murphy was this year’s frontrunner, with a staggering 13 nominations — including for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor for Murphy and Robert Downey Jr., respectively. The Best Actor race was a battle between Murphy, Bradley Cooper (“Maestro”), Paul Giamatti (“The Holdovers”), Colman Domingo (“Rustin”) and Jeffrey Wright (“American Fiction”).Murphy took home the expected win, and Nolan and Downey Jr.

the 2024 Oscars when he presented the award for Best Costume Design on Sunday. Cena appeared when host Jimmy Kimmel recalled a moment during the 1974 Oscars when a streaker made his way on stage during the 47th Academy Awards while David Niven was introducing Elizabeth Taylor. “Can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today?” Kimmel, 56, said in an obvious setup for the joke.

Ryan Gosling’s rendition of Matchbox Twenty’s “Push” was, well, no match for his live rendition of “I’m Just Ken” at the 2024 Oscars. Gosling, 43, joined Mark Ronson, 48, (who also produced Dua Lipa’s “Barbie” hit “Dance the Night”) onstage at the Dolby Theatre in LA on Sunday — with an epic surprise appearance by guitar legend Slash. Dressed in a bedazzled Barbie pink suit, Gosling started his performance from the audience, behind Margot Robbie, who chuckled at his dramatics.

2024 Oscars to present a segment that had a tribute to stunts. Onstage during the 96th Academy Awards, Gosling and Blunt – who both got nominated for “best supporting actor” for their respective roles as Ken in “Barbie,” and Katherine Oppenheimer in “Oppenheimer” – got into a faux “argument,” delightfully roasting each other over their rivalry.

the 2024 Oscars. The border collie captured hearts during the promotional lead up to the Academy Awards, which took place Sunday, March 10 on ABC (at the new time of 7 p.m.), hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. Kimmel gave the pooch a shout-out during his opening monologue.

In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), the “Spider-Man” actress can be seen posing for various photographs before nearly crashing into a large Oscar statuette. “Oh s – – t,” the “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” star is then heard saying in the video.

competed for the coveted Best Picture award.Hollywood’s elite were in good hands as late-night host Jimmy Kimmel returned as the show’s emcee for the fourth time, having hosted the event in 2017, 2018 and 2023. Kimmel, 56, joked that he “always dreamed of hosting the Oscars exactly four times.”Of course, no award ceremony would be complete without controversy.

Oscars. The charismatic 27-year-old media personality and former YouTuber graced the 96th Academy Awards red carpet on Sunday in a red off-the-shoulder Marchesa gown and massive platform heels — the latter causing her to fall to the ground in front of photographers. “That’s alright,” the “Players” actress said from the ground as an assistant rushed to help her up.

Shirley MacLaine is back on the silver screen as she marks a milestone career anniversary this year.The 89-year-old actress is starring opposite Peter Dinklage in the dark comedy “American Dreamer,” which premiered in theaters on Friday ahead of the 96th Academy Awards. Forty years ago, MacLaine won her first best actress Oscar for her performance in 1983’s “Terms of Endearment” after receiving four previous nominations.MacLaine, who made her acting debut in 1955, recently told Extra’s Billy Bush that she still loves her profession as much as when she first started in the entertainment industry.

Meryl Streep said “saved the movies” in 2023 – may have been snubbed in some of the major categories at the 2024 Academy Awards. (Shout-out to Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig!)But there is no stopping that arch-footed doll in at least one category — Best Original Song — where Billie Eilish is the overwhelming favorite to win her second Oscar for her brooding ballad “What Was I Made For?”Only another “Barbie” ditty, “I’m Just Ken,” even stands a chance at an upset.Just like “No Time to Die” — Eilish’s Bond theme that took the song-penning prize in 2022 — the tune that hauntingly humanizes Barbie was co-written by the singer’s producer brother Finneas.

96th Academy Awards are just a few short days away and the night promises to be an epic evening filled with A-listers, fun, music, funny commentary and heartfelt speeches. The Emmys, the Golden Globes and the Grammys have all come and gone.

yikes! – DeGeneres, Kevin Spacey, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Bradley Cooper, Jared Leto, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep and more today and you’ll witness something akin to a prehistoric fossil recovered from the La Brea Tar Pits. Those poor stegosauruses.First, DeGeneres herself was knocked off her Queen of Daytime perch after allegations were made in a 2020 BuzzFeed article accusing the comic of lording over a “toxic workplace environment.” A resulting thread on Twitter, now called X — appropriately resembling a skull and crossbones — dubbed her “the meanest person alive.” Eeek!An “Ellen DeGeneres Show” source later told The Post, “The stories are all true!”.

95th Oscars which take place on Sunday, after pro-Palestine demonstrators targeted other red carpet events.The area around the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles has been blocked off with chainlink fencing as part of early preparations which will eventually involve thousands of law enforcement and security personnel.Police and organizers will want to avoid a repeat of the Grammy Awards – when arrivals at LA’s Crypto.com Arena were brought to a halt by pro-Palestinian supporters blocking traffic – by using thge security fence as in previous years.The protestors gleefully shared footage online with the hashtag #ShutItDown4Palestine. At the event itself, Annie Lennox called for a ceasefire during her tribute to Sinéad O’Connor.The Post is told the Academy’s goal on Sunday is to support and celebrate artists and avoid politics and the political landscape.The Oscars security measures use long-standing protocols designed to prevent protesters attempting to interrupt the Sunday night show.An interruption would give protesters a platform among as many as 20 million Americans watching live, millions more around the world and a much larger social media audience.Sources at the Academy Awards said that the safety and security of attendees is paramount, adding that the organization would not tolerate any behavior that actively endangers, discriminates or causes bodily harm to attendees or members of its global film community.Anti-Israel demonstrators have increasingly targeted high-profile events.

after his disastrous January debut in front of a national television audience.“It would be very smart,” Kimmel told The Hollywood Reporter. “I think he learned all the lessons, and he’s a funny guy.“I think it would be nice for everyone.”Koy, from the get-go, bombed in his debut hosting the Golden Globes Jan.

“Maestro” star and director got emotional on the show when asked about his film’s subject, the “West Side Story” composer Leonard Bernstein, by one of the late musician’s children.“Do you miss him?” daughter Nina Maria Felicia Bernstein asked the actor, who was sitting with Cooper and her siblings, Jamie and Alexander Bernstein, during a December episode of the news program.“Oh, yeah, man,” replied Cooper, 49, who was only 15 years old and attending high school in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, when Bernstein died in 1990. The actor never actually met the man.“What do you miss about him?” interviewer Mo Rocca then wondered.“It’s hard to talk about,” replied a teary Cooper. “I don’t know.

Mark Ruffalo believes that the odds of getting his own stand-alone film as the Incredible Hulk are slim to none.“I’d love to do a stand-alone Hulk, I just don’t think that’s ever going to happen,” Ruffalo, 56, told GQ for its cover story on Wednesday. “It’s very expensive if you did a whole movie, which is why they use the Hulk so sparingly.“I priced myself out,” the actor jokingly added. Ruffalo, who appeared as Dr.

Academy Awards — but everything changed after watching Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie.” “I did not think I would ever do it again,” Kimmel, 56, told the Los Angeles Times regarding the award show that is set to take place next month in Los Angeles. “I did two of them, and they went well — something crazy happened at one of them with a story I’ll have for the rest of my life,” Kimmel mused, referring to his first hosting stint in 2017 when Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway accidentally announced that “La La Land” had won Best Picture instead of “Moonlight.” “I know how much work goes into [the Oscars], so I thought, ‘Yeah, I don’t necessarily want to do this ever again,'” Kimmel added, reflecting on his time as host during the 2017, 2018 and 2023 ceremonies.According to Kimmel, he was persuaded to join the 2023 ceremony after watching Tom Cruise’s “Top Gun: Maverick.” “I knew there was a movie that people had seen, and it just makes the job easier,” he told the outlet, adding that this year he had the same feeling while watching Gerwig’s masterpiece.
