Late Night Highlights: James Franco Gets His Arm Stuck Under Jon Stewart’s Mini Fridge

In today’s very special Oscar nominee edition of Late Night Highlights, James Franco celebrates his 127 Hours nod by getting stuck under a mini-fridge, and then lamenting the fact that none of his students recognized his Academy Award achievement. Elsewhere, Hailee Steinfeld parodied True Grit with Jimmy Kimmel and Tom Arnold consoled the Oscar rejects — that means you, Julianne Moore.

Team Jacki Update: We Need a Battle Cry. Any Suggestions?

Longtime proponents of Animal Kingdom co-star Jacki Weaver were thrilled this morning to hear their hero’s name announced among this year’s five Best Supporting Actress Oscar nominees. And the Australian legend’s warm if brief response has just come over the transom at Team Jacki HQ: “I’m elated to the point of euphoria. I feel like I’m in a walking dream. I’m so relieved that all those millions of Australians that wanted me to get this nomination aren’t disappointed. Happy Australia Day.” Aw! To you as well, Ms. Weaver. That said, this got serious today — and we need more than press statements. We need a slogan; we need a battle cry .

Inception Oscar Nominee Hans Zimmer ‘Quite Shocked’ That Christopher Nolan Was Snubbed

Hans Zimmer has been here before. His nomination today for Inception marked Zimmer’s ninth in the Best Original Score category, an award he’s won once before, for The Lion King . But on a day most people are celebrating, Zimmer is lamenting the fact that his director, Christopher Nolan (who Zimmer also worked with on the Batman films and The Prestige ), was denied a Best Director nomination once again.

Ranking the Oscar Reactions: Which Nominees (and Publicists) Brought Their A-Game?

If you’re anything like me, you read most of the publicist-approved Academy Award nominee reactions…and you nod off somewhere between “thrilled to be in the company of such wonderful actors” and “this film was a labor of love.” That’s all good and classy but who cares? We live in a Jersey Shore -driven society where people would sooner light a Wall Street Journal on fire for warmth (and attention) at a Midwestern Justin Bieber concert than read it. Just give us a little creativity and edge that was not approved by your management. With that simple request in mind, Movieline has ranked the Oscar nomination reactions this morning — based on originality, genuineness and political incorrectness — and listed them below for your convenience.

Gatoroid Vs. Mega-Python Promo: A Cautionary Tale About Animal Steroid Use

Before you spend the rest of your day processing the Oscar Nominations and ensuing analysis, why not step out of prestige-land and relax for a second with the new trailer for SyFy’s Gatoroid vs. Mega Python ? As the title promises, it has both a Gatoroid and a Mega-Python; Sometimes they fight each other, and sometimes they split up to eat low-flying blimps. Absent from the title, but still in the film is some sort of cat fight between Deborah Gibson and Tiffany, which is apparently pretty significant if you are familiar with Mega Shark and Mega-Piranha or the old music rivalry between the two. If you’re not, I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

NSFW: Sasha Grey Gets In on the I Melt With You Action

Thanks to near-lethal levels of abstraction, randomness, lack of context and all-around puzzlement, the five-part package that makes up I Melt With You ‘s awesome viral campaign is the most collectible set of movie marketing since Burger King offloaded Empire Strikes Back drinking glasses. And now, finally, it’s co-star Sasha Grey’s turn to get your brain cramping. Topless, of course. Did I mention this is NSFW ?

Sundance Swag Report: The Power of Ed Helms Compels You (To Keep Warm)

It’s still eerily quiet here in Park City, so Movieline popped into Main Street’s only pop-up insurance agency for our first Sundance Swag Report. Those crazy kids over at Fox Searchlight have constructed an entire insurance agency to promote their Sundance entry/coming-of-age comedy Cedar Rapids , about a small town insurance agent (Ed Helms) who has the weekend of his life at a convention in Iowa. Because nothing says “sexy Sundance swag” like wood paneling and hot apple cider! (Sexy, sexy swag pics within.)
