(OUTscene AMERICA) PHOTOS: Elton John’s Oscar party to benefit his AIDS foundation!

 

Of all the places to be seen on Oscar Sunday, Elton John’s 21st annual Oscar viewing party at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood is always one of the top gatherings.

This year, Elton and husband David Furnish were joined by their adorable son, Zachary Furnish-John.
Among the gays in attendance were Andrew Rannells, Jane Lynch, Chris Colfer (with BFF Ashley Fink), and Lance Bass with boyfriend Michael Turchin.

Everyone who wasn’t at the Oscars seemed to be at this party including Britney Spears, Jim Carrey, Miley Cyrus, those bloody Kardashians and a buncha hunky guys including Matthew Morrison, Colton Haynes, Mehcad Brooks, Ian Somerhalder, Ryan Kwantan, Paul Wesley and many more.

(GOSSIP) Is Anne Hathaway the New Liza Minnelli?:

By Lous Virtel

Our final task is a particularly fun one. Let's take the acting winners from Sunday's ceremony, compare each of them to an Oscar winner of yore based on similar roles, similar Oscar speeches, and similar presences. I've got four Oscar-winning ancestors lined up with the four Oscar winners actors from last night. Can you come up with better matches? I dare you.

(LIST) The 5 Most Annoying Oscar Speeches Ever!

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.

(Weeklings!) The Gay History of the Oscars!

 

January and February would be wiped off the calendar if it weren't for Oscar season, which keeps many of us warm during these torturous winter evenings. But then Renee Zellweger wins and we're freezing again, so there you have it.

On this edition of Weeklings!,  Sunday's Oscars by taking you back in Academy Awards history through the gayest achievements in film. Everyone from Scarlett O'Hara to Harvey Milk comes up. I go everywhere. So strap on your gigantic pantaloons, Katharine Hepburn, because we have a lot of ground to cover.

(OSCAR REVIEWS) Meandering, Boring Oscars 'Didn't Work'!

Some critics took offense at Seth McFarlane's Oscar jokes—but the more universal complaint was that the show dragged, perhaps even more than usual. Among the reactions:

• "Well, that didn't work," writes Mary McNamara in the Los Angeles Times, calling the show "long, self-indulgent, and dull even by the show's time-honored dull-defining standards." Obsessed with the musical aspect of the night, producers "forgot the essential truism of their business: It's all in the timing and the presentation."

• At Salon, Andrew O'Hehir notes that we spent "three and a half hours of our mortal lives on some bizarre variety show, hosted by a guy most of the audience probably didn’t recognize, that ended with five minutes of movie awards." It eventually became clear "that MacFarlane was just going to keep telling increasingly distasteful fat-chick jokes and John Wilkes Booth jokes until it was time to segue into 'Why is this show so long?' jokes."
• OK, MacFarlane wasn't "out-and-out terrible," writes Spencer Kornhaber at the Atlantic. He was full of "fake edginess," but "what the jokes were, really, was stupid, boring, and empty: humor that relied less on its own patently sexist, racist, homophobic, etc. content than on admiration for or disgust with the host's willingness to deliver it."
• In short, notes Alessandra Stanley at the New York Times: "MacFarlane didn’t ruin the show. But the show almost ruined the Oscars."

(EXCLUSIVE) OSCAR SHOCKER: They forgot to get BRUCE!

by MK Scott

Now that Oscars  are over, I could now say that the Oscars had its Moments with Bond and Bassey with Adele and Babs. I Loved the Movie Musical Medley as well as Michelle Obama. What was missing was a Host with good Material, such as the Opening which was a Boobs of an embarrassment. On Social media, the chatter was the that it the worst opening since Snow White and Rob Lowe's 'Proud Mary' Fiasco from 1989. The Presenters dialogue looked forced and confusing. MacFarlane (who definitely is not a stage performer.) Looks and Sings was the Poor Man's Hugh Jackman.

What Happened? Well, a few weeks ago I learned that the Head Comedy writer after 23 years was not invited back. With the Gay Producing Team of Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, you would want to utilize the talents of the Best Comedy writer and the Biggest and Gayest of them all and make the the oscars, the Gayest ever. We all know the experience and Talents of Bruce Vilanch.  Every funny moment from the Oscars in the last 23 years was written by Vilanch. I pressed further, and Vilanch responded (via E-mail) , "We had one conversation. they said they'd get back to me. they never did. we've been friends for 40 years"!

This was one of the questions I was going to ask Zadan and Meron during a scheduled interviewe, which was cancelled.

Here's Hoping Oscar has realized their mistake and Give Vilanch the respect he deserves. What he needs is an Honorary Oscar and a lifelong contract.
