Jennifer Aniston's Not-So-Graceful Oscar Moment

With all the scandal surrounding Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Jennifer Aniston after the breakup of America's super couple, Pitt and Aniston, it's no surprise that Aniston is still angry.
According to Fox News, two of the three in the triangle weren't so subtle about hiding their dislike for one another at last Sunday's Oscars.
As Michael Douglas announced Sean Penn as the winner of the Best Actor award, Aniston was caught on camera snickering, clearly happy that her ex, Pitt, didn't win.
However, Pitt was just as rude, but not to Aniston. When Kate Winslet was announced as the winner of the Best Actress award, for which Pitt's girlfriend Jolie was nominated, Pitt remained seated as the rest of the crowd rose to applaud her success. Jolie got Pitt on his feet after whispering to him, though he did so with hesitation.
Looks like Aniston finally got the last laugh she needed.

Oscars 2009: Who Will Win?

Finally... it's Oscar day! After a month of discussing whether Slumdog Millionaire will win Best Picture or if Kate Winslet will finally get her long-awaited golden statue, the moment has finally arrived.



As huge lovers of movies and all things Hollywood, we thought we'd share our picks for the top 6 categories. Our choices are based on industry buzz, personal preference, and gut feelings. We do not under any circumstances suggest you use our picks for any Oscar pool you might be doing...

Best Picture: Slumdog Millionaire
Yes, we realize this is the safe choice. But with the amount of buzz this movie has generated, we feel it's an absolute no-brainer. Every now and then, the Academy votes for the feel-good movie of the year--and Slumdog looks like the next big winner.

Best Director: Danny Boyle, Slumdog Millionaire
Do you see a trend? We think they'll sweep these top two awards. Beg to differ?

Best Actor: Mickey Rourke, The Wrestler
We're not huge fans of Mr. Rourke but his performance was amazing and well respected across Hollywood. Many think Sean Penn may nab this one but we're going with our gut and picking Mickey. (Now if only he'd stop stalking Evan Rachel Wood...)
Best Actress: Kate Winslet, The Reader
Winslet's Oscar win is long overdue--we know it, she knows it, even the Academy knows it. Let's hope the universe works itself out and she wins a golden statue tonight. We heart Kate.

Best Supporting Actor: Heath Ledger, The Dark Knight
Because his performance was THAT GOOD. He commanded your attention while onscreen and delivered an almost-perfect performance. The academy will most definitely recognize this with a win.
Best Supporting Actress: Penelope Cruz, Vicki Cristina Barcelona
You couldn't take your eyes off her. She's an underrated actress who just might come into her own tonight.

John Mayer Will Escort Jennifer Aniston to the Academy Awards

John Mayer will be there for his girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, on Oscar Sunday.
"I'm going to the Oscars," he told Popsugar.com. "It's my first Oscars. And it's my first being an Oscar boyfriend."
According to Fox News, Aniston will be a presenter.
Aniston must be relieved that her boyfriend will be accompanying her. Otherwise, she would have been alone while her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, and his baby mama, Angelina Jolie, floated down the famed red carpet together.
Pitt and Jolie are both up for Academy Awards. He is a Best Actor nominee for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and she is a Best Actress nominee for Changeling.
John Mayer, however, does not seem interested in who will win. "After that night I have a deal almost signed in blood that says I must go into the studio and finish this record," he said. "So after Oscar Sunday, Monday morning I'm invisible."
