BEST: Anne Hathaway’s speech
So touching. People say it was too long, but I thought it was humbling and heartwarming. We all knew she would win, she was so brilliant in Les Mis.
WORST: Twitter handle for Anna Hathaway’s Nipple
People, the seam on the side of the dress created an allusion that Anne was bearing her nipples. Leave her alone okay? Although…she just won an Oscar, I’m not sure she cares all that much about what you have to say about her dress last night.
BEST: Envelopes are hard to open
Sandra Bullock’s facial reactions for best supporting actress please? Kind of looks like someone we know (*cough* Photoshopped Beyonce *cough*)
WORST: Wizards at the Oscars
Y’all need to get a hair cut
BEST: J-Law is really happy we haven’t seen her boobs Read more…

And the Teen Choice Award goes to…
Hosted by “Big Bang Theory”‘s Kaley Cuoco, the 2011 Teen Choice Awards were anything but dull; from blue and orange surfboards, to Ashton Kutcher belting out “Teenage Dream,” to Justin Bieber busting a move during Selena Gomez & the Scene’s performance of their single, “Love You Like a Love Song,” to Robert Pattinson’s moving Cancer Bites speech after winning Choice Vampire. My favourite part of the night? The Harry Potter tribute montage followed by a live chat with the one and only Daniel Radcliffe through the wonderful world of modern technology, to put it in the words of Rupert Grint. The film won itself and its actors a whopping seven Teen Choice Award surfboards, including the awards for Choice Summer Movie, Choice Summer Female Star, which went to Emma Watson, and Choice Movie Liplock, which went to Danielle Radcliffe and Emma Watson.
Here is the full list of winners:
MOVIES
Choice Summer Movie
“Captain America: The First Avenger”
“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2″
“Horrible Bosses”
“Monte Carlo”
“Transformers: Dark of the Moon”
It appears that ‘American Idol’ judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez have succeeded the most out of the singing show, reports Canoe Jam.
Yep, that’s right. Although Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina have both begun their budding careers, it seems as though the two judges have had the ultimate career revival.
While McCreery and Alaina’s singles have both failed to debut in the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, Tyler and Lopez have seen a respectable spike in their cool-factor.

Let’s take a look back. Before ‘Idol,’ Lopez had parted ways with her longtime label Epic Records and hadn’t had a Top 10 hit since 2003. Tyler had spent a good portion of the previous decade in and out of rehab and feuding with his bandmates, who hadn’t put out a CD since 2004.
Now, because of ‘Idol,’ Lopez debuted her ‘On the Floor’ video and performed it live on the show, which lead to a club smash on the top of the charts.
Tyler used his fame for different leverages, though, using the Idol platform to debut the first solo single of his career as well as selling his new memoir, ‘Does The Noise in My Head Bother You?,’ which became a New York Times best seller.
This was definitely a smart career move on their part. It seems as though today’s reality shows are more about reviving the judges’ careers than the hopefuls on the show (The Voice = Christina Aguilera, X-Factor = Paula Abdul, notice a trend?)
Rapper Eminem and teen sensation Justin Bieber dominated the 2011 ‘Billboard Music Awards,’ each taking home a total of six official awards each.
There was also a six-way tie for second place between Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Usher, Mumford & Sons and Taoi Cruz, who each won three trophies.
Eminem won six awards, including Top Artist, Top Male Artist, Top Billboard 200 Album, Top Rap Artist, Top Rap Song and Top Rap Album. He previously won two Billboard Music Awards in 2002 for Best Album of the Year and Best R&B/Hip Hop Album Of The Year, giving him a total of eight career Billboard Music Awards. His awards were not given out during the ceremony.
Justin Bieber won The Billboard.com Fan Favorite Award, as well as Top New Artist, Top Social Artist, Top Streaming Artist, Top Digital Media Artist, Top Pop Album and Top Streaming Song (video) at his first-ever Billboard Music Awards.
The ceremony also featured performances from the Black Eyed Peas, Keith Urban, Cee Loo Green, Lady Antebellum, Ke$ha, Far East Movement and a special performance by Neil Diamond. Just to name a few.
The awards show took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Read more…
Colin Firth and Helena Bonham Carter must be thrilled!
British import The King’s Speech has officially taken home the little golden man for best picture at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards.
Steven Spielberg presented the film’s cast and crew with the statue, placing emphasis on the true honour of even being nominated in such a prestigious category.
Director Tom Hooper was also honoured in the Best Directing Category, leading man Colin Firth snagged an Oscar in his category, and screenwriter David Seidler managed to nab a win too.
It was a spectacular film, but being die-had Christopher Nolan fans we couldn’t help but root for Inception! Still, the award was absolutely well-deserved and the film was excellent.

It was a big night for showbiz as Hollywood’s most talented gathered in Los Angeles for the 2011 Golden Globes. The ever-hilarious Ricky Gervais hosted, bringing his trademark barbed quips and off-the-cuff jokes to the stage as the room celebrated the most inspired productions of the year.
Big winners included The Social Network, who took home the awards Best Director, Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Screenplay, and Best Original Score. Musical Comedy Glee also took home a bucketful of globes, including one for fan favourite Chris Colfer’s performance on the show.
But the most buzzed-about win of the night was Natalie Portman’s statue for her work in Black Swan, the Darren Aronofsky thriller about a ballerina driven mad by her role in the classic ballet Swan Lake.
We’re pretty unhappy that Christopher Nolan’s Inception didn’t fare very well, but you can’t win ‘em all, right?

Yes it was a slimefest last night at Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards, but in a kid friendly way. Plenty of stars were there for the show, including host Kevin James, Tina Fey, Steve Carell, and even Jonah Hill.
The show started with Rihanna arriving in a pink camouflage tank. The diva performed ‘Hard’, ‘Rude Boy’, and ‘Don’t Stop the Music,’ dancing with transformer type robots.
Kevin James hosting was admirable but nothing too spectacular. He tried his best to relate to his youthful crowd.

It’s safe to say that Sarah Polley had a magical night at the Genie Awards on Monday.
Polley won for best director and best adapted screenplay for her film, “Away From Her.” The film also received best picture, and its stars, Julie Christie, Gordon Pinsent and Kristen Thomson, won best actress, best actor and best supporting actress.
Polley, the one-time “Road to Avonlea” star, said that “The ridiculousness of me winning in this category is not lost on me,” as she accepted the award.
David Cronenberg’s “Eastern Promises” also won a slew of awards, though mostly for technical achievement.

Despite being nominated twice in the same category, Michael Cera – along with his Canadian counterparts – lost at the 13th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards last night.
Cera was nominated in the Best Young Actor category for both his roles in “Superbad” and “Juno.” But it was Ahmad Khan Mahmoodzada (The Kite Runner) who picked up that trophy.
The Broadcast Film Critics Association also chose Julie Christie’s performance in “Away From Her” over Ellen Page’s “Juno.” That’s good news for fellow Canadian Sarah Polley, however, as she directed and adapted the screenplay for “Away From Her.”
Page and Cera didn’t go home completely unhappy, however. “Juno” was named Best Comedy Movie and screenwriter Diablo Cody won in the Best Writer category for the script – her first ever. The hip soundtrack to the film is out in stores today.
Ryan Gosling also lost the Best Actor award to Daniel Day-Lewis.
Director Yves Simoneau was the only Canadian who didn’t go home empty-handed. His TV movie “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee” won in the Best Picture Made for Television category.
