Neil Patrick Harris can't host every awards show (even if we wanted him to) so settle for the next best thing: NPH acting out all of the best picture nominees.

From Good Will Hunting to The Departed to The Fighter, the Oscars can't stop giving love to the City on the Hill. This parody trailer summing up the award-winning Boston film genre is wicked perfect.

Here's a cute video of Sesame Street's Oscar the Grouch and his thoughts on the Oscars. They go something like this: "Best Actor, Colin Filth—with a name that how can he lose?"

How can you be sure you're giving a great Oscar speech? Take a few hints from those that came before you. Take a trip down memory lane in this video of the best, worst, and craziest Oscar acceptance speeches ever.

With the Oscars only a few days away, Mike Tyson discusses his favorite films of the year. Aside from his own (unfortunately unreal) Oscar-bait film The Pigeon Whisperer, Tyson's top pick is Avatar.

In Sunday's New York Times, two film critics claimed mentioned only seven black Oscar winners in a piece about the scarcity of black actors who have won Academy Awards—when in reality, there were fifteen.

This promo states that our beloved hosts are "rigorously preparing for every possible Oscar emergency," but we're pretty sure James Franco's at school in Connecticut. Regardless, it's a chance to watch Anne Hathaway prepare for a possible nip-slip!

Days after her highly-rated turn hosting SNL, Facebook campaigns have already started to get Betty White to host the Emmys and Oscars. First of all, the internet petition strategy only works once. Second: She's 88. Let her catch her breath!

What a brawl we could have seen if this guy's famous wife knew he was sleeping with the actress just a few seats down. Another actor loves strippers and an actress loves drugs. We're all too close for comfort.

The Oscars just finished. The Hurt Locker won, which wasn't a surprise. Actually, there were hardly any surprises at all, except for maybe how long and lousy the broadcast was. Why can they never get this thing right?
