Now can we stop talking about these films and move on?!?
Hugh Laurie Gets Snubbed @ the Emmys
The 61st Emmy Awards were held last night in Los Angeles and the predictions were pretty much true, except for ONE. In the category of Best Male Actor In A Dramatic Series, the award was given to Bryan Cranston for “Breaking Bad”.
You know who should’ve won that award? Hugh Laurie, that’s who! You know why he shoulda won? Because Hugh Laurie is better! Nothing against Bryan Cranston, but Hugh Laurie rules and these goddamned Emmy voters need to get their heads checked!
Farrah’s posthumous Emmy nom
This one had snuck by me, but Farrah Fawcett has been posthumously nominated for an Emmy award.
The late actress received the nod for her role as executive producer of the documentary that chronicled her final fight against cancer, “Farrah’s Story,” which aired shortly before she died last month.
The star has been nominated for an Emmy three times but has never won. As Heath Ledger could testify (if he was still alive… which would totally negate my point here), being dead basically guarantees an Emmy.
Fawcett’s long-time lover, Ryan O’Neal, said Thursday as the awards were announced: “I know that she is smiling that fabulous smile right now in heaven, and that she is grateful the show has been so well received not only by her peers in the industry but by the public at large.”
In other Emmy news, “Grey’s Anatomy” star and one of the nominations announcers Chandra Wilson was tricked by the show’s organizers into thinking she hadn’t been nominated.
“We did the rehearsal ahead of time and went down the teleprompter three times. My name wasn’t there, so I was like, ‘Cool,’ but I’d been completely duped,” said Wilson, who’s up for two awards: Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama.
The 61st Emmy Awards will be hosted by “How I Met Your Mother” actor Neil Patrick Harris and will take place Sept. 20.

Neil Patrick Harris to host Emmys
Neil Patrick Harris is going to light up one more awards show. The “How I Met Your Mother” star has been given the job of hosting this year’s Emmy Awards.
He hosted the Tony Awards in June and impressed Emmy bosses with his work there.
Harris said of his new job, “After having had such a hoot hosting the Tonys, I was thrilled to get the call about the prime-time Emmys. I’m looking forward to the challenge of the show – adding my own voice to it, while honoring the nominees and the entire year in television. But which voice to choose? I’m torn between gangsta, foppish Brit, and robot. Really proud of my robot. We’ll see what happens on the night.”
The ceremony is set for Sept. 20 in Los Angeles.
Bruno pisses off Eminem
Eminem was not in on the joke, it seems. Of course, neither was I since it didn’t seem particularly funny, but me storming out of my living room isn’t very dramatic. The rapper stormed out of the MTV Movie Awards when Sacha Baron Cohen, in the guise of his alterego Bruno, landed naked on Eminem’s lap.
Cohen flew into the auditorium overhead in a dove outfit, chanting, “Ich bin Bruno. Ich bin dove of peace.”
He then landed upside down on Eminem’s lap with his naked backside revealed for all the world to see.
Eminem screamed, “Are you serious? Are you f*ckin’ serious?” as his entourage rushed to get Bruno off the rapper.
As a suspended Cohen kidded, “Is the real Slim Shady about to stand up?” Eminem and his entourage hauled ass out of there.
‘Twilight’ sucks MTV Movie Awards dry
Not surprisingly, “Twilight” kicked some major ass at the MTV Movie Awards Sunday night. Robert Pattinson and Cam Gigandet started out the night with the award for best fight, then Pattinson and Kristen Stewart teased a remake of their trembling on-screen kiss when they nabbed the award for best kiss.
Robert Pattinson got best breakthrough male and Stewart got female performance.
Heath Ledger got a posthumous best villain award for his role as the Joker in “The Dark Knight” and “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” co-star Ashley Tisdale got female breakthrough performance. Zac Efron won best male performance for “HSM 3″ and Jim Carrey got best comedic performance for “Yes Man.” Amy Poehler gave a bleepingly good acceptance speech for Best WTF moment thanks to her efforts peeing in the sink in “Baby Mama”
And, since this is theoretically on the Music Television Network, Miley Cyrus took home the best song award for “The Climb” from “Hannah Montana: The Movie.”
“Twilight” concluded its award sweep with best movie and a crazy big thanks to Stephenie Meyer (not-so-shockingly the Mormon author was not in attendance).
MTV Movie Awards seating drama
We’re less than an hour away from the actual awards, but already we’ve got drama. According to Page Six, producers panicked when preparing the seating chart.
“A producer looked at the original seating chart and realized the whole thing had to be reworked because so many people in the house hated one another,” said the source. Among the conflicts:
“The Hills” Whitney Port had to be moved away from “Twilight” star Kristen Stewart because Port once called the movie (up for seven awards) “really bad” and found Stewart’s role “one-dimensional.”
Her co-stars also needed some space – Lauren Conrad away from Heidi and Spencer Pratt, Port and the rest of “The Hills” cast from Audrina Partridge because “everyone on the show hated her,” a producer was overheard saying. Likewise, Paris Hilton had to be moved away from “The Hills” cast after recently calling the show “so lame and fake” and “cheesy.”
Miley Cyrus and fellow Disney darlings Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens needed distance from Nickelodeon stars Miranda Cosgrove (“iCarly”) and Keke Palmer (“True, Jackson”) because Nickelodeon’s reps felt that “all the Disney kids are tainted.” (Cyrus had semi-nude photos in Vanity Fair and Hudgens had fully nude photos floating around the web)
“Basically, it sounded like all hell had broken loose trying to fit all these people into one room,” said the source.
Chris Pine to boldly present at MTV Awards
The MTV 2009 Movie Awards will have plenty of star power this weekend. The network announced that its presenters will include Chris Pine, Kiefer Sutherland, the Sacha Baron Cohen character Bruno, Leann Rimes, Ed Helms, Anna Faris, Justin Bartha and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
The previously announced presenters are Will Ferrell, Cameron Diaz, Vanessa Hudgens, Ryan Reynolds, Denzel Washington, Leighton Meester, Jonah Hill and Lil Wayne.
Andy Samberg will host and Eminem and Kings of Leon will perform.
The show is set to air Sunday, May 31.
Samuel L. Jackson hosting the motherf*cking ESPYs again
Samuel L. Jackson will be back as host of the ESPY Awards for the fourth time this summer.
The actor hosted the award ceremony, honoring the year’s top sports performances and moments in 1999, 2001 and 2002.
The show is moving from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood to the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles.
It will air July 19 on ESPN.
Cosby to get Twain Prize
Bill Cosby will succeed George Carlin as this year’s Kennedy Center’s Mark Twain Prize for Humor, one of the top prizes in the country.
The beloved comic will receive the award at a gala in October.
The Twain Prize recognizes individuals who have impacted American society.
Cosby received a Kennedy Center Honor in 1998 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in July 2002.
Penn and Portman had Oscar night hookup?
Natalie, say it ain’t so. Star’s April 6 issue reports that married actor Sean Penn was spotted in a passionate embrace with actress Natalie Portman on Oscar night.
He started out the night with wife Robin Wright Penn on his arm, but after dinner at Sunset Tower Hotel’s Tower Bar on March 17, was spotted with Portman.
The magazine claims that Penn and Portman were “constantly touching each other.”
“They went to a bank of elevators that only goes to the spa or to private rooms,” an eyewitness told Star. “They came back about 45 minutes later, and that’s when I saw them making out.”
“There’s a door outside of the hotel’s Tower Bar that has a bridge to the terrace, so it’s semi-private,” the eyewitness explained. “I used that path to get to the restroom, and when I came back, I had to go through some curtains – and that’s when I interrupted Sean and Natalie! When they saw me, they were startled and quickly composed themselves.”
Samberg to host MTV Movie Awards
Andy Samberg is going from having his dick in a box and ji– in his pants to popcorn in his hands. The Saturday Night Live funnyman has been tapped to host the 2009 MTV Movie Awards.
“I’m super excited to host the movie awards,” Samberg said in a statement. “I grew up watching the show and a lot of the past hosts are heroes of mine. Plus, my friends (in the Lonely Island troupe) and I were writers for the show prior to working at ‘SNL,’ so it will be a sweet and satisfying homecoming. I can’t wait to act really important.”
The 18th annual MTV Movie Awards will air live from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California. Nominees will be announced in the coming weeks.
Past Movie Awards hosts include Ben Stiller, Jimmy Fallon, Mike Myers and Justin Timberlake.
Samberg has a new movie with Paul Rudd called “I Love You Man” and a full-length comedy album with Lonely Island (the minds that helped him bring his memorable digital shorts), “Incredibad.”
Crowd welcomes ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ kids
The child stars of the Oscar-winning “Slumdog Millionaire” returned to India on Thursday to a heroes’ welcome.
Hundreds of well-wishers waited for them at the Mumbai airport. The kids were escorted by dozens of police through the crowds.
The four children, Ayush Khedekar, Tanay Hemant Chheda, Tanvi Lonkar, and Rubina Ali Qureshi, came out with arms around each other’s shoulders. Ali carried a small fluffy brown toy bunny.
The group, whose movie won eight Oscars Sunday, waved and blew kisses to the crowd.
Khedekar, 8, who played the youngest version of Jamal, the main character in the film, was hoisted onto someone’s shoulders before the child actors were whisked away in a waiting car.
The film’s Oscar-winning composer A. R. Rahman and sound engineer Resul Pookutty were showered with flower petals by cheering crowds in their hometowns.
Rahman led the dancing crowd in chants of “Jai Ho,” which means “Be victorious.”
‘Slumdog Millionaire’ kids get new homes
The two main child actors from the Oscar winner “Slumdog Millionaire” are moving on up.
Reuters says that Indian government authorities are providing new residences in Mumbai for Rubina Ali and Azhar Ismail, who played the younger versions of the movie’s central characters, Latika and Salim.
“These two children have brought laurels to the country, and we have been told that they live in slums, which cannot even be classified as housing,” said Gautam Chatterjee, head of the state-run Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority.
According to the filmmakers, the children were paid above local Indian wages and also enrolled in school for the first time with a fund established to provide for their education, medical emergencies and “basic living costs.”
I’m happy for these kids, but there are thousands of other children living in slums in Mumbai who weren’t lucky enough to get film roles or look cute on camera. What about them?
‘Slumdog Millionaire’ kids go to Disneyland
Forget the Oscars, the kids from “Slumdog Millionaire” visited the happiest place on earth. The young cast hit Disneyland the day after the Academy Awards ceremony.
The group, pictured counter-clockwise from Mickey: Madhur Mittal (older Salim), Tanvi Ganesh Lonkar (middle Latika), Azhar Mohammed Ismail (young Salim), Ayush Mahesh Khedekar (young Jamal), Rubina Ali (young Latika), Tanay Hemant Chheda (middle Jamal) and Ashutosh Lobo Gajiwala (middle Salim) – visited the theme park and rode the rides, including the classic It’s a Small World.
The night before, they were getting autographs from glitterati like Brad Pitt and “Twilight” star Robert Pattinson, as well as signing some things of their own.
“It’s like the biggest night of our lives!” said Tanay Hemant.
“At this time it’s very important to be grounded because everyone is asking for autographs,” Tanvi told PEOPLE. “It’s really great!”
Natalie Portman making eyes at Robert Pattinson?
Natalie Portman may have joined tween girls around the nation with a love of scruffy “Twilight” hottie Robert Pattinson.
E! News reports she was at his side during the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
“(Portman) seemed really into him, and went right up to say hello once she spotted him,” the site quoted a close friend of Pattinson, who was at the party.
Pattinson and Portman both presented at the ceremony and the on-screen vampire was feeling a bit nervous about the ceremony.
So how did he get over his nerves?
“Whiskey and Natalie Portman,” claimed the pal.
Pattinson had no date, but spent time flirting with Portman, looking pretty in pink fuchsia.
The two were spotted flirting outside on the patio and E! sources claim RPatt was loving every minute of it and that Portman dominated his attentions most of the night. The “Twilight” star didn’t seal the deal, however. He left alone that night, much to the relief of Twifans everywhere.
Mickey Rourke slams Sean Penn?
Comeback story of the year Mickey Rourke seems to be setting himself up for a little backlash. The Daily Beast got access to a private text message from “The Wrestler” star in which bashes then-Oscar rival Sean Penn as a “homophobe” and an “average” actor.
It started after a Dec. 23 appearance on David Letterman, when Rourke told someone backstage that he was surprised that so many people seemed to think that Penn was his Oscar competition since “I’m not even sure he’ll get a nomination.”
Five days later, a Tinseltown entertainment exec shared a text message with the Daily Beast writer that Rourke had sent him. It stated: “Look seans an old friend of mine and i didnt buy his performance at all – thought he did an average pretend acting like he was gay besides hes one of the most homophobic people i kno” (sic)
Rourke’s publicist said Rourke is “completely unaware of the text.” She told the publication: “There is no Oscar feud between Mickey and Sean. They have known each other and been friends for a very long time. Mickey attended the New York premiere of Milk to support Sean and only has the greatest respect for him.”
The two must be doing okay now, since Penn honored Rourke in his acceptance speech, calling him a brother. Still, careful, Mickey – fame is just as fleeting now as it was 15 years ago.
‘Love Guru,’ Hilton sweep Razzies
As Hollywood was busy honoring quality films that no one has seen, the Razzies singled out some of the horrible films cranked out this year.
Waste of space heiress Paris Hilton received three Golden Raspberry Awards, sweeping the acting category. She took home Worst Actress for “The Hottie and the Nottie” and Worst Supporting Actress for “Repo! The Genetic Opera.” Hilton brought down her costars with Worst Screen Couple with Hottie costars, Christine Lakin and Joel David Moore.
The Mike Myers box-office disaster “The Love Guru” won three Razzies for its sins, including Worst Picture, Worst Screenplay and Worst Actor for Myers.
“Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” took home a much deserved award for being the Worst Prequel, Remake, Ripoff or Sequel in 2008.
Pierce Brosnan’s horrible warbling got him a Razzie for his supporting role in “Mamma Mia!”
Director Uwe Boll got a worst director for three cinematic disasters: “In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale,” “1968: Tunnel Rats” and “Postal.” He also earned hims a worst career achievement for his efforts.

Live Oscar Award updates
Keep checking here for live Oscar award winners updates. We’ll post them as they happen, along with any random bits of snark that cross our minds.
First off, Hugh Jackman is starting out strong… Let’s hope he stays that way. Funny, musical, only intentionally cheesy.
They’ve brought back past best supporting actresses, Tilda Swinton, Eva Marie Sainte, Whoopi Goldberg, Anjelica Houston and Goldie Hawn (oh lord, I forget that she won) to award the best supporting actress trophy (btw, Whoopi, WTF?).
Performance by an actress in a supporting role: Penelope Cruz, “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”
Again, with the funny, Tina Fey and Steve Martin, bringing the Original Screenplay award, slamming Scientology and self-importance.
And an interesting actual peek at the screenplays
Original Screenplay: “Milk” (Focus Features), Written by Dustin Lance Black
Adapted Screenplay: “Slumdog Millionaire” (Fox Searchlight), Screenplay by Simon Beaufoy
Gotta love how the camera keeps panning Brangelina during Jennifer Aniston’s presentation…
Best Animated Feature: “WALL-E” (Walt Disney), Andrew Stanton (that was a total gimme)
Best Animated Short Film: “La Maison en Petits Cubes” A Robot Communications Production, Kunio Kato (no opinion on that, but yay for the Japanese guy who realizes he can’t speak English and just goes for the joke)
Achievement in art direction: “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” (Paramount and Warner Bros.), Art Direction: Donald Graham Burt, Set Decoration: Victor J. Zolfo
Please don’t let this be the beginning of a trend…
Achievement in costume design: “The Duchess” (Paramount Vantage, Pathe and BBC Films), Michael O’Connor
Achievement in makeup: “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” (Paramount and Warner Bros.), Greg Cannom
Stop it, Academy. That was not good makeup. Lots of prosthetics, lots of vinyl. Not good makeup. Why are you people so enamored of this movie?
Now the montage of movies people have actually seen as opposed to the pretentious shit that was nominated. That’s the only way High School Musical and Twilight are making it on that stage.
Hmm, the Phoenix joke is funny, but was funnier in its incarnation at the Spirit Awards earlier this weekend. Natalie Portman got the best line off, though: “You look like you work in an Hasidic meth lab.”
Achievement in cinematography: “Slumdog Millionaire” (Fox Searchlight), Anthony Dod Mantle
See, back on track, Oscars. Keep up the good work.
Here’s Jessica Biel and her toilet paper roll of silk falling out of her dress. Don’t you people employ stylists? She’s dressed about on par with the attendees of the scientific and technical awards.
Seriously – they are just putting these montages together so the rest of the movie-going populace can identify with the awards.
Best short film: “Spielzeugland (Toyland)” A Mephisto Film Production, Jochen Alexander Freydank
At least Beyonce has changed out of her horrible dress for this pointless musical number.
As a friend said tonight: “Dear Hugh, this was terrible. love, me.”
Followed by the obligatory and non-sensical HSM-couple shot so people care about the Oscars for a few minutes. Baz Luhrman created that number? Bad, Baz, bad. Go back to Australia for a year.
Another round-up of former winners for the best supporting actor category – Cuba Gooding, Jr., Christopher Walken, Kevin Kline, Alan Arkin, Joel Grey
Performance by an actor in a supporting role: Heath Ledger (I’m so sure of this I’m posting before the actual announcement)
See? Here come his father, mother and (unexpectedly gorgeous) sister. And quiet in the house for a simple, sweet speech from a mournful family.
Best documentary feature: “Man on Wire” (Magnolia Pictures), A Wall to Wall in association with Red Box Films Production, James Marsh and Simon Chinn
Best documentary short subject: “Smile Pinki” A Principe Production, Megan Mylan
Achievement in visual effects: “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” (Paramount and Warner Bros.), Eric Barba, Steve Preeg, Burt Dalton and Craig Barron
What are these people thinking? Will Smith was right – Brad Pitt looked like a garden gnome.
Achievement in sound editing: “The Dark Knight” (Warner Bros.), Richard King
Wall-E should have gotten this – there’s no dialogue, just noises, kids – but perhaps the Academy is trying to make up for the last category of stupidity.
Achievement in sound mixing: “Slumdog Millionaire” (Fox Searchlight), Ian Tapp, Richard Pryke and Resul Pookutty
I love this movie hard, but I’m not sure general excellence is cause to award a movie in every category.
Achievement in film editing: “Slumdog Millionaire” (Fox Searchlight), Chris Dickens
Time out to honor homophobe Jerry Lewis. You know, since we have to balance out the “Milk” nominations.
Oh, Alicia, I’m not feeling the hair or the dress. Not sure why, but just not a great color.
Achievement in music written for motion pictures (original score): (rooting for Wall-E or Slumdog…) “Slumdog Millionaire” (Fox Searchlight), A.R. Rahman
I think my “win-everything-it’s-nominated-for prediction will come true…
For the best song category, they might split their votes here. And WTF is up with the dancers? Who is choreographing tonight? Seriously.
Achievement in music written for motion pictures (original song): “Jai Ho” from “Slumdog Millionaire” (Fox Searchlight), Music by A.R. Rahman, Lyric by Gulzar
Best foreign language film of the year: “Departures” (Regent Releasing), A Departures Film Partners Production, Japan
And the goodbye reel. Sniff. Queen Latifah is bringing the angst.
Achievement in directing: “Slumdog Millionaire” (Fox Searchlight), Danny Boyle
Love the Tigger bouncing on stage – and requisite family shot – and the hometown thanks. One more and it’s a sweep…
Shirley MacLaine, Halle Berry, Marion Cotillard, Sophie Loren (holy god, so much bad – the hair, the skin, the dress, the jewelry. Orange is the theme here. Did she just dive in a tub of bad taste?), Nicole Kidman doing the group thing again
Performance by an actress in a leading role: Kate Winslet in “The Reader” (Weinstein Copmany) See, that Extras scene was a bit clairovoyant. And the whistle from her father was just adorable.
Robert de Niro, Sir Ben Kingsley, Anthony Hopkins, Adrien Brody and Michael Douglas out for the best actor nod. We’re now about 40 minutes over. The thing didn’t start til 8:30 p.m. for some reason.
Why the hell is Robert Pattinson just behind Mickey Rourke’s shoulder? The cast of “Slumdog Millionaire” is, like, 10 rows back and they were frickin’ nominated for something.
Performance by an actor in a leading role: Sean Penn in “Milk” (Focus Features)
Aw, would have liked another crazy speech by Mickey, but Sean is a good one, too, for us Commie, homo-loving sons-of-guns. And apparently there was picketing at the Oscars, so says Mr. Penn.
And here we are, the final category, best motion picture… I’m sticking with Slumdog. And that was actually a good, relevant montage.
Best motion picture: “Slumdog Millionaire” (Fox Searchlight), A Celador Films Production, Christian Colson, Producer
See? Where’s my cookie?
And wonder how much these movies paid to be in the credit? ‘Cause I’m thinking we won’t be seeing “Night at the Museum 2″ or “Fame” anywhere but in a pointless montage…
