Miguel Arteta on Cedar Rapids and the Bullying of Michael Cera

If there’s one thing to be said for Cedar Rapids director Miguel Arteta, it’s that he defends his actors. If you come after one of the stars of his films — say, Michael Cera in last year’s criminally underrated Youth in Revolt — you’re going to hear about it, which Movieline did during this interview. The Puerto Rican-born Arteta is also apt to defend is his own bona fides: While he readily admits that he’s not the first person you would think of to direct Cedar Rapids — a film about a fish-out-of-water Midwesterner — he knows what it’s like to be a new person in a strange land.

The New Directions did projectile vomit a purple drank-derivative during a school assembly performance of Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok.” And finally, Rachel Berry did make out with a gay dude while wearing a pistachio- colored housecoat. So steel your stomachs, dear Glee basers, and join us below for a more detailed recap of last night’s inebriated events and a pop quiz!

Oscar Index: Get Ready For the Upset of the Century!

It hasn’t always been pretty, but it’s as close to empirically accurate as you’re going to get without a peephole at PricewaterhouseCoopers. And this week we’ve been especially busy. To the Index!
