Academy Awards opener features Leonardo DiCaprio, Alec Baldwin in ‘Inception’-themed tribute to year’s best. By Gil Kaufman Anne Hathaway and James Franco host the 2011 Academy Awards Photo: Getty Images It’s become a time-honored Oscar opening bit: inserting the show’s host into the year’s Best Picture nominees. Only this time, it was hosts, plural, and for only the second time since 1986, they were not stand-up comedians whose forte is getting easy laughs. After more than a month of speculation about how James Franco and Anne Hathaway would open Sunday night’s 83rd annual Academy Awards ceremony, the tension was broken with a quick-cut montage of iconic images from this year’s 10 Best Picture nominees, followed by Franco, 32, and Hathaway, 28, being digitally inserted into one of the year’s most mind-twisting nominees, “Inception.” Check out photos of the 2011 Academy Awards show . Star Leonardo DiCaprio attempted to explain how the whole dream-hopping worked to the couple, with Hathaway saying, “So, we’re going to go into Alec Baldwin’s dreams and get some hosting tips,” as an incredulous Franco huffed, “You’re buying this. … I’m not going anywhere until you can prove you can take us into people’s dreams.” As the streets of Paris exploded around them, Franco still wouldn’t buy in, using his best tough-guy stance and pressing DiCaprio, “Gimme some proof … one shred of proof, Leo … we’re waitin’.” The pair then ended up on a plane with DiCaprio and Baldwin, with the “30 Rock” star and 2010 Oscar co-host slugging down a juice box of Ambien to calm his nerves, but passing out before giving Hathaway the secret to hosting the show. They were next transported to a courtroom, where Hathaway took issue with Franco’s use of a driedel as his talisman to check whether he was in a dream (if you haven’t seen “Inception,” then you were just slightly more confused than those of us who had). They ended up in a yelling match with “The Social Network” star Jesse Eisenberg as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, telling the socially awkward billionaire that his brusque dismissal of their request for help had just cost him a few Facebook friends. “And tell the Winklevosses to stop giving me the stink eye,” Franco added. The “Inception” elevator took them to the sweaty gym in “The Fighter,” where Hathaway donned her best round the way Boston girl accent to chat up Mark Wahlberg’s Micky Ward about who is a bigger junkbag. After knocking Franco out, she hopped on a horse to face off against “True Grit” star Jeff Bridges, with Franco snuggling up behind her in a bearskin coat and Hathaway sporting not one but two eye patches. The search continued in “The King’s Speech,” where they worked period costumes. But those were nothing compared to the ones they squeezed into for the “Black Swan” bit, where Franco was shoehorned into a skintight white leotard and his co-host a Thanksgiving turkey-inspired getup. “The dance of the brown duck,” Hathaway intoned as she spun wildly, shedding feathers and quacking her way through a routine that horrified star Natalie Portman. They finally found Baldwin again, who played some mind games with them before they jumped into the DeLorean time machine from “Back to the Future” and jetted into the present, winding up on the stage in their awards-show finest. Franco, holding a cell phone to record his moment in the sun, wore a classic tuxedo, while Hathaway emerged in an elegant white floor-length gown with beaded accents. “Oh my gosh, you’re all real,” she marveled. “This is actually happening!” Lowering the collective age of presenters by 55 years from last year, first-time hosts Franco and Hathaway — the latter the youngest host in history and one of the only women to ever have the honor — quickly dispensed with any questions about why they were tapped for the gig. “Anne, I must say you look so beautiful and so hip,” said Franco in his signature smiling deadpan manner. “Thank you, James,” she replied. “You look very appealing to a younger demographic as well.” Both had promised they would not follow in the footsteps of comedian Ricky Gervais, who did a bombing run at the Golden Globes, strafing most of Hollywood with his acerbic wit. Instead they ended up making fun of themselves. Franco said it was an exciting night for both hosts since they were both nominated, but Hathaway quickly reminded him that unlike his Best Actor nod for “127 Hours,” she was not noticed for her work in the romantic dramedy “Love and Other Drugs.” “You know, it used to be you get naked, you get nominated,” she complained. “Not anymore, not anymore.” She then explained to Franco what an honor it is to be nominated and how if he won, everyone would refer to him as “Academy Award winner James Franco.” He had to think about that. “What do you mean everyone?” he said, confused after asking if the little golden man came with a cash prize as well. “Like even my mom? That would be weird if my mom called me ‘Academy Award winner James Franco.’ I’ve known her a long time.” Hathaway’s mom reminded her from the audience to stand up straight because, you know, three-time Oscar winner Steven Spielberg is in the house, while Franco’s grandma was jacked to see “Marky Mark” Wahlberg in the crowd. Both came off as relaxed and natural as they joked about the profusion of lesbians in this year’s nominated films and quickly segued into the night’s first award presentation by Tom Hanks for Best Art Direction.

‘She’s gorgeous! Wow! Where were you when I was making pictures?’ movie icon says to Oscars host Anne Hathaway. By Jocelyn Vena Kirk Douglas onstage at the 2011 Oscars Photo: Michael Caulfield/ Getty Images Hollywood veteran and icon Kirk Douglas stole the show early on in the 2011 Academy Awards broadcast. Aided by a walking cane, Douglas took the stage at the Kodak Theatre to present the award for Best Supporting Actress. By the time he handed the Oscar to Melissa Leo, Douglas had flirted with Oscars host Anne Hathaway and managed to have the room in stitches by poking fun at Hugh Jackman and Colin Firth.
Academy picks royal film for its Best Picture, Director and Actor honors. By Brian Warmoth Colin Firth poses with his award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in “The King’s Speech” Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images Director Tom Hooper gave moms watching the 83rd Academy Awards a reason to love his film, and the Oscars gave “The King’s Speech” four statues by the end of the night, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay. “The moral of this story is: Listen to your mother,” Hooper told the audience at Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre when he accepted his directing prize. The first-time winner and nominee credited his mother for discovering the script, which also won in its category for writer David Seidler. Seidler’s tale, based on King George VI’s struggle to overcome a stuttering problem and lead Britain through World War II, entered the night with a royal recipe of previously nominated talent, historical drama and personal strife. When the ballots were finally counted, the classic formula won out, and Hooper, Seidler and star Colin Firth earned a few coveted words to put in front of their names for the rest of their careers: Oscar winner. Check out backstage photos of the big Oscar winners . “I have a feeling my career’s just peaked,” Firth quipped during his acceptance speech. The excitement, however, wasn’t enough for him to get funky in front of the crowd. “I’m afraid I have to warn you that I’m experiencing stirrings somewhere in the upper abdominals,” he revealed before excusing himself to go backstage and indulge his desire to dance. “The King’s Speech” may not have swept its nomination categories, with Geoffrey Rush losing out to Christian Bale for Best Supporting Actor and Helena Bonham Carter coming up short against Melissa Leo in “The Fighter” for Best Supporting Actress. Likewise, it failed to take home awards in six other categories where it was nominated. But failing to earn Best Art Direction and Best Cinematography won’t be the movie’s legacy. “The Social Network” edged out the Oscar night’s biggest winner for Best Film Editing and Best Music, and “The Fighter” earning the first statue of the night ensured that the Oscars would be shared this year. Nevertheless, of the three films, “The King’s Speech” will have the most enviable assortment of laurels on its DVD cover when it lands on store shelves.

‘Inception’ nabs four awards, one more than early awards-season fave ‘Social Network.’ By Eric Ditzian Colin Firth accepts award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for “The King’s Speech” Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images “The King’s Speech” entered the biggest night in Hollywood as the clear front-runner to win top honors and did not stumble at the 83rd Academy Awards , nabbing four wins out of 12 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Colin Firth, and Best Director for Tom Hooper. “Inception” ended up roping in four wins, as well, one better than “The Social Network,” which lost out in all the major categories after beginning awards season as a potential dominant Oscar presence yet losing momentum over the past month. The evening, in fact, unfolded without a single upset in the major categories, from Melissa Leo’s (“The Fighter”) early Supporting Actress win to the Best Picture triumph for “King’s Speech.” Firth could have begun penning his Best Actor acceptance speech months ago. When he finally got the chance late in the night, he began, “I have a feeling my career has just peaked” and ended, again self-deprecatingly, “And now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some impulses I have to attend to backstage.” A very pregnant Natalie Portman (“Black Swan”) swept aside six-time nominee Annette Bening (“The Kids Are All Right”) for Best Actress. Entirely more serious than she was at the Golden Globes, when she laughed about getting to sleep with baby-daddy Benjamin Millepied, Portman instead ran through a dizzying list of thank-yous, acknowledging everyone from her parents to her publicists to director Darren Aronofsky, to whom she said, “You are fearless and a visionary.” Up until the minute the Directing award was handed out, no one could decide if Hooper or David Fincher (“The Social Network”) would end up the champ. In the end, Hooper soared on the strength of what he dubbed the “triangle of man love,” whose points apparently include Firth, Geoffrey Rush and the director himself. The show kicked off with a high-concept, “Inception”-inspired cold open as hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway entered into the worlds of the Best Picture nominees and some beloved past films — from the boxing ring of “The Fighter” to the rehearsal studio of “Black Swan” to the time-traveling DeLorean from “Back to the Future.” The duo then sauntered out onto the stage at the Kodak Theatre and segued into a short, shared monologue in which Hathaway congratulated Franco on his Best Actor nomination and lamented that she wasn’t honored for her work in “Love & Other Drugs.” “It used to be, you get naked, you get nominated,” she joked. “Not anymore!” Wearing a tuxedo and high heels, Hathaway popped up later for a musical number , riffing on “On My Own” from “Les Mis
‘I didn’t think I was like this,’ the ‘Fighter’ actor says, thanking his family, co-stars and real-life Dicky Eklund. By Shawn Adler Christian Bale wins the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images As the Dark Knight, Christian Bale has faced the Scarecrow’s fear gas, the Joker’s anarchy and Two-Face’s betrayal. Who would have thought it would be a foot-tall opponent named Oscar who finally made him cry? A triumphant Bale fought back tears after winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Dicky Eklund in “The Fighter” at the Oscars on Sunday night (February 27). It was the 37-year-old’s first nomination and first Academy Award. “I didn’t think I was like this,” Bale said, a lump in his throat. “[Thanks to] my wonderful wife and our little girl, who’s taught me so much more than I’ll ever be able to teach her.” For Bale, it was an uncommonly sentimental ending to a speech that began with good humor and a few laughs. “What a room full of talented and inspirational people,” Bale said when he first took the stage. “What am I doing here?” The Hollywood veteran and star of the upcoming “The Dark Knight Rises” even managed to good-naturedly refer to his infamous rant on the set of “Terminator: Salvation,” where he was caught on tape yelling profanity-laden tirades at a member of the crew. “I’m not gonna drop the F-bomb like [co-star and Best Supporting Actress winner] Melissa Leo did,” Bale joked. “I’ve done that plenty!” While thanking director David O. Russell and co-stars Leo, Amy Adams, and Mark Wahlberg, it was for Eklund that Bale saved his most fervent praise and gratitude, even managing to insert a plug for the Pride of Lowell’s website. “Where’s my quacker?” Bale asked, scanning the crowd for Dicky, who stood to feverous applause from the crowd. “Hey, mate, you’re the best! He’s had a wonderful story, and I can’t wait to see the next chapter. If you want to be a champ, go train with him! Check him out, he deserves it!” Stick with MTV News on Oscar night and beyond for red-carpet fashion coverage, analysis of the winners, plus interviews, photos and more from your favorite Hollywood stars!

Join us at 6 p.m. tonight live from the Academy Awards red carpet on MTVNews.com. By Eric Ditzian Photo: Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences All across La La Land in the hectic hours before the 83rd Academy Awards , nominees are putting the finishing touches on the scraps of paper containing their — fingers crossed! — acceptance speeches. Limo drivers are gassing up their rides. And somewhere inside the bowels of the Kodak Theatre, co-host James Franco (or, more likely, James Franco’s assistant) is shining his shoes. Meanwhile, you’re putting the finishing touches on your Oscar ballot or making sure your Oscar party doesn’t run out of Jesse Eisenburgers and King’s Peach Pie. Stressful! Soon, though, the action on Hollywood’s biggest night will be under way. What can you expect when the show goes live? MTV News has got you covered. Read on for everything you need to know about this year’s Academy Awards: The Live Coverage The first thing you need to know is that MTV News will be everywhere on Oscar night. To begin the evening, we’ll be launching a red-carpet live stream at MTVNews.com from 6 to 8 p.m. ET tonight, where we’ll be chatting up everyone from Natalie Portman to Christian Bale. We’ll also be taking your questions via Twitter, so tweet your questions to @MTVNews using the hashtag #oscars for a chance to see your favorite celebrities fielding your own inquiries. We’ll also be running a red-carpet fashion blog on Hollywood Crush . Once the show begins, shift over to Movies Blog for a live blog about the show itself. And, of course, we’ll be churning out loads of video, analyses and breakout stories across all our Web properties, so keep it locked to MTV News for the very latest updates about the show. The Races All week long, we’ve been previewing the major Oscar categories. Best Supporting Actress might be the tightest of all the top races, with Melissa Leo (“The Fighter”) grappling with Hailee Steinfeld (“True Grit”) and Helena Bonham Carter (“The King’s Speech”). Best Supporting Actor couldn’t present more of a contrast: Christian Bale (“The Fighter”) long ago locked up this win. Colin Firth (“The King’s Speech”), too, is a sure bet to win Best Actor, while Natalie Portman (“Black Swan”) should coast to Best Actress victory (though Annette Bening [“The Kids Are All Right”] could play the spoiler). When it comes to Best Director , Tom Hooper (“The King’s Speech”) is a slight favorite over David Fincher (“The Social Network”), but either of these gentlemen could walk away the victor. The same likely cannot be said about Best Picture: “King’s Speech” appears to have pulled away from “Social Network” and should end up the night’s big winner. The Rundown Deadline Hollywood has published the broad outline of the telecast, giving us a general idea of how things are going to go down. Franco and co-host Anne Hathaway will begin the evening with a pre-taped video in which they appear in scenes from the Best Picture nominees. Tom Hanks will be the first presenter, announcing both Best Art Direction and Best Cinematography. Other presenters include Russell Brand, Sandra Bullock, Robert Downey Jr., Hugh Jackman, Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon and Oprah Winfrey. Hilary Swank and Kathryn Bigelow will present Best Director and then, just before the clock strikes 11:30 p.m. on the East Coast, Steven Spielberg will hand out Best Picture. So you think you have a good picture about what the Oscars are going to look like? Hopefully, but check out this TwitPic from Franco for what he simply calls “my view.” Will it be a regal evening for “The King’s Speech”? Can “The Social Network” dial up Oscar gold?

The nominees for Best Supporting Actress don’t have a whole lot to offer the meat-mangling market this year, with only one Mr. Skin Nudity Hall of Famer in the bunch and no nudity in the nominated roles. We here at Skin Central are not quitters (especially when it comes to clitters) so we’ve massaged the vaults to find your Best Supporting Actress nominees in the nominude. Melissa Leo , playing a tough-as-nails MILF in The Fighter , keeps her motherly mammaries under wraps. The same can’t be said for Melissa’s turn turning tricks in Streetwalkin’ (1985) . Amy Adams , costarring with Leo as the loyal ladyfriend of boxer Mark Wahlberg , is also nominated. Amy keeps her undies on in The Fighter , but her seat meat scores a K.O. in Psycho Beach Party (2000) . Nudity Hall-of-famer Helena Bonham Carter rounds our list of nominudes, scoring a nom for her queenly performance in The King’s Speech . You won’t have to think of England when you see Helena shagging Merton Densher in The Wings of the Dove (1997) . The other Best Supporting Actress nominees, Hailee Steinfeld and Jackie Weaver , have yet to catch the eye of Mr. Skin with no nude roles. Hailee we can understand- she’s only 14 years old – but 63-year-old Aussie Jackie has no such excuse. Mr. Skin loves a golden girl, Jackie, so take us Down Under! We’d love to go for a ride in your pouch.
Armie Hammer tells MTV News at the SAG Awards it was ‘funny’ to see Eisenberg onstage with Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg. By Ryan J. Downey, with reporting by Kara Warner Armie Hammer Photo: Lester Cohen/ Getty Images Oscar front-runner “The Social Network” didn’t exactly paint the most flattering picture of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, but the young billionaire proved he can take a joke when he turned up alongside Jesse Eisenberg on “Saturday Night Live” this weekend. Facebook’s CEO wasn’t the only one who watched Eisenberg host “SNL.” “I saw the whole episode! I thought it was great!” exclaimed “Social Network” co-star Armie Hammer when MTV News caught up with him at the 17th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday (January 30). Thanks to director Darren Aronofsky and some subtle special effects, Hammer portrayed both Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, the athletic Harvard twins who hired Zuckerberg to create a social-networking site and later sued him for millions. “It was so funny to see [Jesse] and Mark [together].” Hammer was at the Director’s Guild Awards on Saturday when he received a picture to his phone of the pair standing onstage together in Studio 8H at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, the famous location where “SNL” has taped since 1975. Hammer said he did a double-take. “I was like, ‘What the hell?’ ” he recalled with a broad smile. “I was like, ‘Oh my gosh! It’s the two of them!’ ” Zuckerberg has expressed reservations about some aspects of the movie, which won the award for Best Drama at the Golden Globes earlier this month. The movie also nabbed awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Composer (Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor with Atticus Ross) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Aaron Sorkin) at the 16th annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards . Fincher, Sorkin and the cast have acknowledged that the movie is a somewhat fictionalized account of the rise of the omnipresent website: a true-life tale that severed friendships and has been the subject of many lawsuits between former co-workers who claim they were unfairly stiffed of their piece of the pie. The Academy Awards has 10 Best Picture nominees : “Black Swan,” “The Fighter,” “Inception,” “The Kids Are All Right,” “The King’s Speech,” “127 Hours,” “Toy Story 3,” “True Grit,” “Winter’s Bone” and “The Social Network.” Most pundits predict a hotly contested race between “the Facebook movie” and “The King’s Speech,” which took the best film ensemble at the Screen Actors Guild Awards as well as the best actor prize for its lead, Colin Firth.

‘The Fighter’ star Melissa Leo and ‘The King’s Speech’ actor Colin Firth also rack up awards. By Mawuse Ziegbe Christian Bale onstage at the 2011 SAG Awards Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images The Hollywood awards season continues to trek along, and on Sunday night (January 30), the performers honored their leading lights at the 17th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. In an evening of few upsets, 2011 awards-season darlings like Natalie Portman, Christian Bale, Colin Firth and Melissa Leo continued to cement their status as names to watch along the road to Oscar. Bale was joined onstage by real-life inspiration, Dicky Eklund, when he scored Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role for “The Fighter.” Bale also dished out advice to aspiring actors, saying that it helps that he finds people fascinating but added, “Bumping into Mark Wahlberg ain’t bad.” Natalie Portman extended her awards-show winning streak by nabbing Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for “Black Swan.” Swathing her budding baby bump in a white Azzaro gown, the former child star expressed gratitude for being able to finish her education and shouted out her parents for instilling in her that she “can never be an a–hole.” Colin Firth also sprinkled some heartfelt humor into his speech when he accepted the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role. “The King’s Speech” actor joked about once hoping his SAG card would land him “female attention” and entry into nightclubs and, after sizing up the A-list talent in the room, thanked security for letting him into the building. When Leo nabbed Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role for her role in the “The Fighter,” she hugged her co-star and fellow nominee Amy Adams and gleefully bolted toward the stage in a glittery gown, which she briefly tripped on as she reached for the award. The actress aptly took the win to pump up the importance of the guild, saying, “Unions make this country great, because it gives a voice to the working people.” Alec Baldwin and Betty White gave the first statuette of the evening to Steve Buscemi for his portrayal of a gleefully corrupt Prohibition-era politician on HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire.” The star looked visibly touched during his first SAG win, and shouted out “Empire” director Martin Scorsese, imploring the legendary film architect — who has recently fallen ill — to “please come back.” The entire “Empire” cast later headed back onstage when they took home Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. “Desperate Housewives” siren Eva Longoria, rocking a silvery Georges Hobeika gown with a plunging neckline, and “Glee” jock Cory Monteith handed over the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series trophy to Julianna Margulies for “The Good Wife.” Accepting her second consecutive SAG win for the role, she thanked the teamsters for digging everyone out of the snow on the show’s set. Amy Poehler introduced the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series category by saying she likes her actors, and her sandwiches, “real,” “warm” and “heavy on the meat.” Baldwin walked away with the meaty win for his fifth consecutive “30 Rock” win. First-time SAG winner Betty White looked genuinely surprised when she accepted the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series award and received a standing ovation. After speaking about how she was “so lucky to be 89” and still working, she tossed in some cheeky humor by briefly fondling the nude statuette’s backside and wrapping her fingers around its groin area. One of the few actors in the room able to boast more experience than White was 94-year-old Oscar-winning legend Ernest Borgnine, who accepted the SAG Life Achievement Award following an introduction from his “McHale’s Navy” co-star Tim Conway and fellow “Red” actor Morgan Freeman. The guild also saluted late stars like Leslie Nielsen, Lynne Redgrave and Lena Horne in the “In Memoriam” segment. The event also lauded actors who have made a big impact within the short span of a television commercial with a montage that celebrated everyone from the bubbly chick in the Progressive insurance ads to Clara Peller’s inescapable Wendy’s catchphrase “Where’s the beef?” All the A-listers in “The King’s Speech” were honored with the Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, but Geoffrey Rush took the opportunity to spotlight some of the cast’s younger actors, pointing out the brief performance of a stammering student. Other winners included Claire Danes for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries for “Temple Grandin”; “You Don’t Know Jack” star Al Pacino for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries; and the cast of “Modern Family” for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. While many of the 2011 awards-season champions like Portman, Bale and Leo were honored, other fan and critical favorites like “The Social Network” and “Glee” went home empty-handed.
