A much as I hate the Oscars and think they are a waste of fucking time…uneventful…boring and most importantly totally irrelevant…because movies being made at 100 million dollars….generating billions of dollars…paying shitty actors who aren’t even that hot millions….and fucking with the internet by lobbying for laws that lead to pirates being arrested like a gang of greedy self involved cunts…. I did see 5 minutes of the shit when I was changing porn DVDs and I think it was at the highligth of the night….but wouldn’t know since it was all I saw of the masturbatory shoved down our throat awarding themselves like they fucking need awards…when there are starving kids in Africa Bullshit….and real life issues at hand….waste of fucking time motherfuckers…. Either way…this Cameron Diaz Jennifer Lopez ass show made no fucking sense…but I still experienced and now so can you…. To See The Red Carpet Pics If You Care But Shouldn’t FOLLOW THIS LINK
MTV News looks back the awards shows that deserved standing ovations and those that left us falling asleep in our chair. By MTV News staff Photo: Getty Images With the end of Oscars season, we say goodbye to awards shows for a few months. The spectacles honored the best in television, music and movies, and each handed out a good amount of hardware. But who put on the best show? Not all awards shows were created equal, and some get the benefit of live performances while some have to rest on the laurels of acceptance speeches. As the 2011-2012 awards season comes to a close, the MTV News staff has taken a look back at the year that was to give you the breakdown on which shows earned standing ovations and which were just seat fillers. The Academy Awards “Another year, another reminder that the Oscars are no longer the can’t-miss movie event they once were. Barring a surprise win for Meryl Streep and a fleeting hour where you thought that maybe, just maybe, ‘Hugo’ would topple ‘The Artist,’ the 2012 Oscars ceremony was a total dud. Yes, it was nice to see Billy Crystal back onstage; no, no one will complain about a cameo from Christopher Guest and friends; and sure, there is nothing that sucks about watching Sacha Baron Cohen spill ‘Kim Jong Il’s ashes’ all over Ryan Seacrest. But those moments are why the Internet exists. As a whole and on its own, the 84th Annual Academy Awards were a giant, predictable snooze fest.” C — Josh Wigler The Grammys “The Grammys are kind of like the Pu Pu Platter at the hip Chinese joint at the local strip mall: There’s a bunch of the golden oldies your granny and mom love scattered among a bunch of weird new stuff that the grandkids can’t get enough of. In other words, it tries to be all things to all people while typically turning off most of them. Except this year. The show drew near-record ratings thanks to a well-deserved sweep by Adele , a touching homage to just passed R&B superstar Whitney Houston and a grab bag of performances from the Foo Fighters, Chris Brown, Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna, Coldplay, Bruno Mars, Alicia Keys and Bonnie Raitt and that now-infamous messy EDM mashup thing. If that, along with two meh sets from ex-Beatle Paul McCartney and a mystifying one from Nicki Minaj sounds like the weirdest, least appealing festival lineup ever, well… And yet, host LL Cool J set an appropriately somber, not morbid tone for the show while keeping it moving, Jennifer Hudson absolutely nailed her Houston tribute and Adele simultaneously dragged the Recording Academy into the present while serving up just enough throw-back flavor to keep several generations happy.” B+ — Gil Kaufman The Golden Globes “There are many things to love about the Golden Globe Awards. First and foremost, it combines the best and brightest from the worlds of television and film, an interesting occurrence because for some strange reason the stars of TV and cinema don’t regularly interact in the awards-show wilds. Second, there is a decidedly more laid-back air to the affair, made possible by the bottles and bottles of champagne that are handed out to attendees from the moment they arrive on the red carpet to the moment they depart. Third, the nominating body for the Globes is the mysterious Hollywood Foreign Press, the membership and qualifications about which no one really knows that much. This year’s award show wasn’t especially full of shocking surprises, but it definitely delivered on the fun factor. Ricky Gervais returned to host and managed to not offend too many celebs in attendance, save for one jab at Madonna that she playfully tossed back in his face; George Clooney and Seth Rogen both made penis jokes and on a more sincere note, deserving Best Actor winner and ‘Game of Thrones’ star Peter Dinklage used his acceptance speech to call attention to an injustice.” B — Kara Warner Screen Actors Guild Awards “The SAGs get a lot of credit for their ability to predict the Oscar winners a month or so in advance. While the SAG Awards have rightfully earned their reputation as accurate fortune tellers, actually watching the show will make you wish you’d just Googled the results that next morning. With onstage union talk and no host to keep the show moving, the ceremony this year took its name too literally and sagged.” B- — Kevin Sullivan American Music Awards ” The AMAs kicked it off with Nicki Minaj/David Guetta performing and wrapped it up with Justin Bieber and David Hasselhoff shufflin’ alongside LMFAO. Squeezed in between were performances and awards handed out to stars like Minaj and Taylor Swift, among others. For a show that feels like it’s Cinderella to its Grammys step sister, the AMAs proved that sometimes it’s more fun to have fun.” B — Jocelyn Vena Critics’ Choice Movie Awards “Hosts Rob Huebel and Paul Scheer might have dubbed this show ‘the ninth most exciting night in Hollywood,’ and it might have delivered long stretches of snooze-worthy TV, but the CCAs also have us some great, ‘Human Giant’-esque video bits, a live performance from Bob Dylan and Best Supporting Actor winner Christopher Plummer’s onstage confession, ‘I’m completely turned on.’ It was the night’s introductions and speeches, in fact, that made the show an overall winner. Judd Apatow dropped f-bombs, Sean Penn spoke via satellite about the continuing hardships in Haiti, and Patton Oswalt said, ‘There are plenty of nuanced roles for schlubby actors out there. And the ones that Giamatti and Philip Seymour Hoffman don’t take are all mine!’ ” B+ — Eric Ditzian People’s Choice Awards “For anyone who was wondering if hiring the girl from the ‘Big Bang Theory’ to host an award show was like a bang-up good idea, well then they should watch the 2012 PCAs , again and again and again. (Spoiler: it’s not.) Also, when the biggest headline of the night is the fact that Robert Pattinson presented with a shaved head, well then you might have a dull show on your hands, folks. Seriously, what else even happened at that show?” D — Vena What awards show deserves the best grade this year? Leave your comment below!

From Emma Stone to Angelina Jolie’s right leg, MTV News relives the best and worst of Sunday night’s show. By Eric Ditzian Emma Stone arrives at the 84th Annual Academy Awards Photo: Jeff Kravitz/ FilmMagic The winners of the 2012 Oscars have already been announced. Those lucky men and women have already gone off, gleaming statuettes in hand, to jump from celeb-filled party to celeb-filled party and learn how to carry a champagne glass in one hand and an Academy Award in the other without spilling for the former and breaking the latter. But the official winners’ list only tells part of the story of Sunday night’s show. There were nipples that might have slipped, legs that poked bizarrely out and an ash-filled urn malfunction on the red carpet. There were front-runners who fell short and dark horses who pulled out unexpected victories. Who were the true winners and losers at the Oscars this year? Let’s take a look… Winner: Billy Crystal Hauled out from some cryogenic awards-show freezer where time does not pass and wrinkles are not allowed to crease one’s face, Crystal emerged onto the Oscar stage for the ninth time … and didn’t make us fall asleep. Much to our surprise, he was consistently funny (and at times, shockingly and thankfully, a tad mean), and delivered a bunch of LOL-worthy video bits. Loser: Anne Hathaway and James Franco Remember when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences thought it needed to get all edgy, recruiting two hot young things to helm the biggest night in Hollywood? Hollywood, in turn, hated them. The ghosts of Hathaway and Franco’s phoned-in performances could be seen every time Crystal belted out a parody tune or a Borscht Belt zinger to the sustained guffaws of his audience. Winner: Jennifer Lopez’s nipple It was the singer’s most talked-about release in at least a decade. And it may not have actually, ya know, been released from beneath her dress. Loser: Angelina Jolie’s right leg ‘Cause, seriously, that was just weird. Winner: The screenwriter who made fun of Angelina Jolie’s right leg After the “Descendants” won Best Adapted Screenplay, Jim Rash (who also happens to be a series regular on “Community”) took to the stage and thrust his leg out in silent, searing mockery of Jolie’s prominently displayed body part. Winner: Emma Stone She can sing, she can bust into an awesome old-timey voice, she can make fun of Ben Stiller and he’ll just take it. The evening was filled with surprisingly funny presenters, but Stone’s shtick won the night. Casting directors, listen up: Get that girl a big-screen musical stat! Winner: Octavia Spencer Long an awards-season darling, “The Help” ended up only nabbing a single Oscar. Best Supporting Actress winner Spencer made the best of the opportunity, breaking down in tears during a heartfelt acceptance speech in which she thanked everyone from her castmates to the state of Alabama. Loser: Meryl Streep Though she won Best Actress — which, according to our estimates, was the 37th Oscar win of her career — even Streep herself appeared sheepish to have swiped the category away from front-runner Viola Davis. Winner: Sacha Baron Cohen Handed the gift of a temporary ban from the Academy because he planned to walk the red carpet as his character from “The Dictator,” Baron Cohen played the PR war game perfectly, releasing an amusing YouTube video before the show and then, after the Academy relented, spilling the faux-ashes of Kim Jong Il on Ryan Seacrest during a red-carpet interview. Loser: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences The academy not only proved it had no sense of humor when it banned Baron Cohen, but showed it had no spine when it reinstated him and ended up posting his image on the front page of its Oscar website. Loser: Michael Douglas While it was great to see Douglas out on stage and looking so healthy after his battle with cancer, everyone was disappointed that his dad wasn’t the one standing in front of the cameras. Then 94-year-old Kirk Douglas’ show-stealing intro at last year’s Oscars was bizarre and uncomfortable and kinda amazing. Winner: Zach Galifianakis’ inability to pronounce Zach Galifianakis’ name The white tux-clad presenter, perhaps reaching out to Michel Hazanavicius, his brother in unpronounceable surnames, butchered his own family name in the middle of a memorable bit with Will Ferrell. Winner: The women of “Bridesmaids” They may not have won an award, but their continuing bit about a Martin Scorsese drinking game was hilarious. And the fact that they were able to bring some humor to the shorts categories — comparing them to the male anatomy — was an impressive feat. Loser: Bradley Cooper’s mustache Cooper might be the reining Sexiest Man Alive, but his lip fuzz stood out as the night’s creepiest collection of facial hair. Loser: Bubba Smith Every year, a handful of beloved actors are left off Oscar’s “In Memoriam” montage. In 2012, poor Bubba Smith, who memorably played Hightower in the “Police Academy” movies and who passed away in August at the age of 66, didn’t make the cut.

‘I thought it was really funny,’ Joel McHale tells MTV News. By Kara Warner Sacha Baron Cohen at the 2012 Oscars Photo: Michael Buckner/ Getty Images For all the anticipation, anxiety and general pomp and circumstance that surrounded the , there were not too many surprises with regard to the actual show or its winners, save for comedian Sacha Baron Cohen’s stunt with his appearance on the red carpet in character as Admiral General Aladeen, who is at the center of his upcoming movie “The Dictator.” Baron Cohen made Ryan Seacrest the unwitting victim of the actor’s publicity stunt when he approached the E! host armed with an urn supposedly containing the ashes of North Korea’s Kim Jong Il and spilled the powdery contents of the container all over Seacrest and his tuxedo. Baron Cohen’s antics were much appreciated, judging from the smattering of celeb reactions MTV News gathered at Elton John’s annual Oscar-viewing party and charity gala. “No way. That’s incredible,” said Mark Foster of Foster the People upon hearing the news of Baron Cohen’s stunt. “I wouldn’t want Kim Jong Il’s ashes on me.” “I thought it was funny and Ryan played along very well,” Joel McHale said of his E! colleague Seacrest. “He’s unflappable.” Both Foster and McHale agreed that Baron Cohen’s antics add an extra element of excitement to the red-carpet festivities. “It keeps things exciting. I love when people do something outside the box,” Foster said. “As long as no one was injured. No one was injured, right? I thought it was really funny,” McHale added. “Sacha Baron Cohen is genius.” For his part, Seacrest seemed to take the incident in stride, and took to Twitter to make light of the “spill.” “My mom always told me to pack two jackets for red carpets, always wondered why. Now I know.” The MTV Movies team has the 2012 Oscars covered! Keep it locked at MTV.com for updates on the night’s big winners and the best red-carpet fashion .

Our experts pick the best-dressed at the 2012 Academy Awards. By Christina Garibaldi Emma Stone arrives at the 84th Annual Academy Awards montage Photo: Jeff Kravitz/ FilmMagic Oscar night isn’t only a huge event for the world of movies; it’s also a big night for fashion. Over the years, it has become known as the hottest runway show of the year, with the top designers clamoring to get their dresses on the night’s nominees, hoping to win a spot on the coveted best-dressed list. On Sunday night (February 26), all eyes were on the actresses working the red carpet, and they did not disappoint. There were pops of color on the carpet, but the big trend of the night seemed to be ladies in white. Gwyneth Paltrow looked glamorous in a white one-shoulder Tom Ford gown with a matching wrap. MTV Style picks their best-dressed at the Oscars. “From what I saw walking down the carpet, Gwyneth Paltrow looked amazing in Tom Ford,” Janell Snowden of VH1 told MTV News. “She was in the color of the night, which was white.” Rooney Mara, a Best Actress nominee for “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” traded in her typical black garb for elegant white, wearing a lace Givenchy gown with a plunging back. “I did think a lot about what I was going to wear; it’s a long process,” Mara told MTV News. “I like to wear white also. I wanted to mix it up. This just happened to be the most beautiful dress, that’s why I wore it.” MTV Style expert Mary H.K. Choi agreed that Mara wowed in her Oscar ensemble. “White was a huge trend on the red carpet tonight, and this stark, architectural Givenchy looked absolutely surreal against the phosphorescence of her alabaster skin,” Choi said. “She looked just pristine, and the fact that her impossibly shiny, jet-black hair was in a tight bun with blunt bangs really anchored the look. She dresses with a certain severity, given her young age, but I’m a huge fan.” Of course, it wasn’t just the ladies in white who stole the show. “The Help” star Emma Stone turned heads in a stunning red Giambattista Valli gown. “I just loved this dress. There were titterings on Twitter about how people either loved or hated the bow, but I thought a dramatic, festive accent at the neckline looked stunning and complemented the side sweep of her red hair,” Choi said. “A risk, definitely, but I think it absolutely paid off.” Stone’s co-star Jessica Chastain also made a lasting impression on her first Oscar red carpet. Chastain, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, shined on the carpet in a black and gold Alexander McQueen gown. “This is a big moment — probably it’s the biggest moment of my life — so I needed a dress that was a big-moment dress,” Chastain told MTV News. “It’s McQueen, and the embroidery and the way it fits — to me, this dress is how I’m feeling right now.” Share your favorite Oscar red-carpet looks on our Facebook page.

Singer who beat Justin Bieber at 2011 Grammys sings moving version of ‘What a Wonderful World’ during In Memoriam tribute. By Jason Kaufman Esperanza Spalding performs at the 84th annual Academy Awards Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images Who was that woman singing that beautiful rendition of “What a Wonderful World” during the 2012 Oscars In Memoriam tribute? None other than the woman who broke Justin Bieber’s heart last winter: Esperanza Spalding . Last year, Spalding beat out sure bets like Bieber, Florence and the Machine and Drake when she won the Best New Artist prize at the 2011 Grammy Awards . Spalding’s biggest claim to fame since the win had been when her Wikipedia page was attacked by rabid Bieber fans following her victory. Since last February, Spalding has managed to fly under the radar. This March she plans to get back on the scene and release her new album, Radio Music Society, her follow-up to Chamber Music Society, the 2010 album that brought her to national attention at the Grammys last year. But before that came a haunting showcase. Spalding’s beautiful take on the Louis Armstrong standard was the perfect accompaniment to a moving In Memoriam tribute . Spalding stood in front of a choir as her voice lifted in the Kodak Theatre while the names and faces of Hollywood legends lost were projected in stark black and white behind her. It was a performance that allowed millions to see what Grammy voters had already seen in her last year. Spalding’s Grammy victory was particularly hard on Bieber , who spoke to MTV News shortly after the loss. “I had no clue what was going to happen; I worked really hard these past few years, and you know, I’m not going to lie — I was disappointed,” Bieber told MTV News at the Staples Center in Los Angeles last year. “But, you know, I’m gonna come back [next year] and we’ll take a few home. … I’m inspired to work harder than I did last year. It’s going to be hard, but I’m going to try.” The MTV Movies team has the 2012 Oscars covered!

By Jocelyn Vena Diddy arrives at the 2012 Oscars Photo: Getty Images During Sunday night’s (February 26) Oscars , celebrities took to Twitter to react to the wins (both their own and those of their colleagues), the looks , the show itself, and, of course, that Dictator stunt pulled on Ryan Seacrest . “My mom always told me to pack two jackets for red carpets,” Seacrest joked about being plastered with “ashes” on the red carpet by Sacha Baron Cohen, who was done up in his Dictator character. “Always wondered why. Now I know.” His lady love, Julianne Hough, also laughed off the incident, adding, “Awe! @RyanSeacrest It’s ok, we’ll just make pancakes with the leftovers! #goodcomposure ;)” Diddy managed to snag some Oscar gold as the executive producer of the Best Documentary winner, “Undefeated.” “God is the greatest!!!!” he wrote . “Thank you! #undefeated!!!!” He later added, “I am buggin.” He got some love from a number of folks, including Ellen DeGeneres, who wrote , “@iamdiddy did it! Congratulations on Best Documentary!” Justin Bieber took to Twitter to congratulate host Billy Crystal, who featured the young pop star in his opening montage. “a BIG SHOUTOUT to Billy Crystal. Thanks for letting be a part of the show and you killed it tonight. #muchlove,” he wrote. One of the big topics of the night was Octavia Spencer, who won for her supporting role in “The Help.” Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson wrote , “Yes!!!! Welcome to the family Octavia !! Congrats!!! Amazing!!” “Vampire Diaries” star Ian Somerhalder also had love for Spencer, writing , “Congratulations Octavia!!!!!! You deserve this- you’re amazing. Enjoy it, it’s your night Xo Ian.” Despite not taking home an Oscar for “My Week With Marilyn,” Michelle Williams seems to have made a friend in Perez Hilton, who wrote , “There is something so delicate and precious about Michelle Williams! I just wanna be her friend and give her lots of hugs! #Oscars.” Hough was back on Twitter at the show’s end to send love to Meryl Streep, who did take home an Oscar for her lead role in “The Iron Lady.” “Meryl makes it possible to be the best at what you do yet still keep your values family and friendships first,” she said. “That’s what makes Meryl, Meryl.” While the show is all about that little statue that gets handed out to the winners, Kim Kardashian weighed in on some of the night’s looks. “Wow Angelina went fun & sexy!!!!

‘We’re all from different backgrounds, but music brings us together,’ Pitbull tells MTV News. By Rob Markman Pitbull performs at the 2012 NBA All-Star game on Sunday Photo: Mike Ehrmann/ Getty Images ORLANDO, Florida — Pitbull sure knows how to put on a show, and during his halftime performance at the 2012 NBA All-Star Game in Orlando, Mr. Worldwide brought out a few of his famous friends. During his medley of hits including “Rain Over Me,” “International Love” and “Give Me Everything,” the Miami rapper shared the stage with Nayer, Ne-Yo and Chris Brown. “For me, what it’s about is showing that music is the universal language. It shows you that no matter where you’re from, what you represent, where you grew up or no matter what your culture or background may be, music brings everybody together,” Pitbull told MTV News from his dressing room at the Amway Center in Orlando after his performance. “To have Chris Brown come out, to have Ne-Yo come out, Nayer come out — we’re all from different backgrounds, but music brings us together.” With his performance, Pit embodied what the NBA All-Star game is all about: bringing superstar talents together and putting their skills on display. Onstage, Pitbull and company did just that as they rocked the thousands of fans at the Amway Center. Pitbull has performed at so many big events, but when asked where his halftime NBA All-Star show ranked, he couldn’t quite put a number on it. “As far as a rating, I’d rate it a blessing,” he said.
