by Louis Virtel 

We're closing in on the holiest holiday of the year, Awardsgiving, when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences unleashes a heap of golden hardware onto a bunch of unsuspecting stars (and Anne Hathaway). The Oscars are a gleefully ridiculous occasion when some actors give fantastic speeches (Marion Cotillard, anyone?) and some dubious ones too (Jane Fonda stealing Louise Fletcher's sign language skills for her Coming Home speech? Not a fan -- but don't hold it against me, Jane!) Fortunately, most Oscar speeches are never as annoying as the five listed below. Here they are, the five most annoying Oscar speeches in history.

(LIST) Full List of 85TH Academy Award Winners !!

Argo won the top prize at tonight's Academy Awards, netting the Best Motion Picture statuette. Oscar spread the love around, as there was no one standout sweeping victor in a majority of the principal categories. Other winners tonight included Les Miserables and Django Unchained which each won several awards. Full list of winners,

(LIST) 10 Greatest "Best Actress"-Nominated Performances That Didn't Win AND The 10 Actors Who Need, Need, Need an Oscar!

Let's talk about jilted actresses, boys.

The Oscars are next Sunday, and we still have plenty of Academy history to reinspect like amateur Clouseaus. Today's cold case: the 10 greatest Best Actress-nominated performances that didn't win an Oscar. Apologies to my other sentimental favorites like Michelle Pfeiffer in The Fabulous Baker Boys, Julie Christie in McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Nicole Kidman in Rabbit Hole, Anne Bancroft in The Graduate, and my darling Elizabeth Hartman in A Patch of Blue because I could only pick 10. Here they are.

(LIST) 25 Youngest Oscar Nominees and Winners!

Sometimes child stars grow up to be Lindsay Lohan. Other times, they get nominated for an Oscar at age 14 and grow up to be Jodie Foster. Huffington Post rounds up the latter in its slideshow of the 25 youngest Academy Award nominees and winners, all of them aged 20 or younger (and most under 18):

(LIST) The 10 Hottest "Best Actor" Oscar Winners!

by Louis Virtel

 

Ten men. Ten Oscars. Ten eternal images of hotness that I'm happy to rank.

You'll be either excited or depressed to learn that the idea of a hot Best Actor Oscar winner is mostly a recent invention. There are some Oscar-winning studs from the the '30s and '40s, but you see plenty more GQ-ready gents in the Academy Award-winning roles of the '90s and 2000s. So without further ado, let's take another trip back and time and count down the 10 hottest "Best Actor" winners.

The 85th Academy Awards are at last upon us, and unfortunately we only have a few more days to think about the eternal hotness of some of the men they honor. As a companion piece to our Hottest Best Actor countdown, I present to you an important follow-up: The 10 Hottest Best Supporting Actor performances. Heath Ledger, Javier Bardem, and Christian Bale were too inhumanely grotesque to warrant inclusion, I'm sort of sorry to say. But who wasn't? Check 'em out below.

(LIST) The 5 Most Ridiculous Best Actress Wins!

I had a ball with a 10 Greatest Best Actress Victories list, and now it's time to reveal my dark side: Here are my five least favorite wins for Best Actress, and you'll notice they're all pretty fabulous actresses doing subpar work in subpar fare. Maybe I'm just mad at them for getting rewarded for the wrong work. Maybe I'm contrarian. T'any rate, here are the five offenders:

5. Jodie Foster, The Accused

 

This is not my way of damning Jodie for that cryptic, near-Dada speech she gave at the Golden Globes. This is my way of acknowledging that The Accused is unimportant Oscar bait full of teary monologues that just don't work. Jodie Foster is a commanding actress, and I consider her work in The Silence of the Lambs one of the most justified wins of the '90s. (Love the '91 Oscars so, so much. Thelma, Louise, Rambling Rose, Mercedes Ruehl, etc.) But even in the broadest description, The Accused is Lifetime material at best: A squawky client with Desperately Seeking Susan style is sexually assaulted at a bar in front of cheering patrons, and she and her tough-as-nails lawyer eventually win in court over the trio of rapists. Jodie is a ball of forced characterizations here, a nonstop medley of quirks and squawks. It doesn't help that '88 was also the year of Glenn Close's best performance (and film) Dangerous Liaisons and Meryl Streep's now-underrated work in the very damning A Cry in The Dark. Both would've been better and more unusual choices than Jodie in The Accused.

It's Oscar season, so let's dive into my favorite place: the past. you're invited to disagree and show me how proud you are of caring about Johnny Belinda or whatever. Today, we begin with the best of Best Actresses. Ready to rank? Let's go.

10. Elizabeth Taylor, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?



Under-discussed fact: Though the character of Martha is a crucial and brutal part of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, George is a far more interesting character. It's almost easy to root against Liz for that fact, but her rancor and timing are so electric and natural that she's a shoo-in for this list. What a flop those other actresses are!

(LIST) Top Grammy Wins!

It's the Grammy Awards, which, as we all know, are more about performances than actual awards—so the show opened, not at all surprisingly, with a performance by Taylor Swift. The music world's darling gave what appeared to be a circus/carnival/Alice in Wonderland-themed performance of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," and only after that could the host appear. Once again, it's LL Cool J. A rundown of the highlights:

(LIST) Gay Sex Scenes That Made Movie History (3-1)!

Once upon a time, there were no gay and lesbian sections in the video stores, no queer film festivals, no debates over whether or not showing gay men having sex was good for the gay community's image. There were definitely no major theatrical releases of big-budget films in which gay men had sex, and certainly no one ever dreamed a film like that could ever be nominated for an Oscar.

Here, AfterElton.com takes a look back at the most important and groundbreaking gay male sex scenes in films. These are films that for the most part had a major American theatrical release, even if it was of limited scope, with a few groundbreaking foreign, art house and GLBT film festival movies included as well. These criteria are admittedly somewhat subjective, so if you feel we've missed a film that broke new ground with its use of sex between men, let us know.
