Oscars Showbiz and Celebrity Breaking News

“I’m Just Ken” might actually win Best Original Song over “What Was I Made For?” — Billie Eilish’s far superior “Barbie” tune.After all, another Oscar win would make Eilish, 22, and her producer brother, Finneas, 26, the youngest two-time Academy Award winners in history after their victory in 2022 for the Bond theme song “No Time To Die.”Perhaps with some voters thinking “too much, too soon,” an upset seemed to be brewing.But now the siblings are in the history books — as they should be.Sometimes it’s just as simple as real recognizing real — whether it’s at the Oscars or the Grammys.And when Eilish got a standing O from Hollywood’s finest after performing “What Was I Made For?” at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday night, it was an acknowledgement of just how far ahead she was of the other Best Original Song nominees.To be honest, it wasn’t even as hauntingly heartbreaking as her performance of the tune just before it took Song of the Year at the Grammys last month.But it was still real artistry on raw display that was all the chills and feels.“What Was I Made For?” also became only the 10th song in history to win both the Grammy for Song of the Year and the Oscar for Best Original Song.That puts it in some pretty prestigious company, with the likes of “Moon River” (from 1961’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”) “The Way We Were” (from 1973’s “The Way We Were”), “Evergreen” (from 1976’s “A Star Is Born”), “You Light Up My Life” (from 1977’s “You Light Up My Life”), “A Whole New World” (from 1992’s “Aladdin”) and “My Heart Will Go On” (from 1997’s “Titanic”).Bravo, Billie and Finneas.

2024 Oscars were hosted by Jimmy Kimmel on Sunday, March 10, airing on ABC (in the new earlier time slot of 7 p.m.). The Christopher Nolan flick starring Cillian Murphy was this year’s frontrunner, with a staggering 13 nominations — including for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor for Murphy and Robert Downey Jr., respectively. The Best Actor race was a battle between Murphy, Bradley Cooper (“Maestro”), Paul Giamatti (“The Holdovers”), Colman Domingo (“Rustin”) and Jeffrey Wright (“American Fiction”).Murphy took home the expected win, and Nolan and Downey Jr.

John Cena has turned heads with his appearance at the 2024 Oscars – see why below.At the 2024 Oscars last night (March 10), host Jimmy Kimmel reflected on the award show’s biggest moments, including the 1974 streaking incident, during which an unknown man ran across the stage naked.To “honour” the incident five decades after it happened, Kimmel hoped to recreate the scene with the help of John Cena. However, a naked John Cena hid behind the stage, refusing to expose himself on live TV.Instead, Kimmel asked Cena to present the award for Best Costume Design, which he had to step out onstage for, covering himself with an envelope containing the winner’s name.See Cena step out onstage naked below.John Cena walking onto the #Oscars stage naked.See the full winners list: https://t.co/IctYZ9WO3B pic.twitter.com/cRE3tLPe1Y— DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) March 11, 2024While clips of the nominees for Best Costume Design were showed onscreen, Cena was covered with a curtain from the Oscars crew.

Oscars 2024 is taking place tonight (March 10) in Los Angeles, with Oppenheimer, Poor Things, and Killers Of The Flower Moon set to battle it out for the top gongs.The ceremony will be held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel for a fourth time.Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer leads the nominations going into the event with 13 nods, including Best Director, Best Picture and Best Actor.

Cena appeared when host Jimmy Kimmel recalled a moment during the 1974 Oscars when a streaker made his way on stage during the 47th Academy Awards while David Niven was introducing Elizabeth Taylor. “Can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today?” Kimmel, 56, said in an obvious setup for the joke.

Ryan Gosling’s rendition of Matchbox Twenty’s “Push” was, well, no match for his live rendition of “I’m Just Ken” at the 2024 Oscars. Gosling, 43, joined Mark Ronson, 48, (who also produced Dua Lipa’s “Barbie” hit “Dance the Night”) onstage at the Dolby Theatre in LA on Sunday — with an epic surprise appearance by guitar legend Slash. Dressed in a bedazzled Barbie pink suit, Gosling started his performance from the audience, behind Margot Robbie, who chuckled at his dramatics.

Onstage during the 96th Academy Awards, Gosling and Blunt – who both got nominated for “best supporting actor” for their respective roles as Ken in “Barbie,” and Katherine Oppenheimer in “Oppenheimer” – got into a faux “argument,” delightfully roasting each other over their rivalry.

that were obtained by Variety.The screenwriter alleges in the missives that “The Holdovers” director Alexander Payne likely read a script for his eerily similar movie “Frisco” when it made the rounds around Hollywood in 2013 on the industry’s “black list” of most like scripts, where it peaked at number three.“The evidence the holdovers screenplay has been plagiarised line-by-line from “Frisco” is genuinely overwhelming – anybody who looks at even the briefest sample pretty much invariably uses the word ‘brazen,’” Stephenson wrote in the email he sent to the WGA’s director of credits Lesley Mackey, after speaking with him about the movies’ similarities.“Frisco” is a drama that follows a cranky children’s hospital worker who gets stuck watching after his 15-year-old student — similar to how Paul Giamatti plays a prep-school classics teacher who spends a Christmas break a troubled teen, played by Dominic Sessa, and the school’s cafeteria manager, played by Da’Vine Joy Randolph.Stephenson meticulously compared the two films scene by scene as well as important sequences and dialogues. He alleges Payne reviewed the Frisco script in 2013 and had it again in late 2019 before he approached first-time film writer David Hemingson about “The Holdovers.” Hemingson also received producing credits on the movie.In a Feb.

Anatomy of a Fall, will not be attending the Oscars this year.The furry friend who has become the unlikely star of the 2024 Oscar campaign season, made his way through the nominees’ luncheon, wooing the likes of Bradley Cooper, Billie Eilish and Ryan Gosling. According to a source at the Neon-distributed film, Messi’s LA appearance was a one-off, meaning that the dog will not be in attendance at the Academy Awards.“All of this attention began at Cannes.

Elsa Pataky might be attending this year’s Oscars.

Shirley MacLaine is back on the silver screen as she marks a milestone career anniversary this year.The 89-year-old actress is starring opposite Peter Dinklage in the dark comedy “American Dreamer,” which premiered in theaters on Friday ahead of the 96th Academy Awards. Forty years ago, MacLaine won her first best actress Oscar for her performance in 1983’s “Terms of Endearment” after receiving four previous nominations.MacLaine, who made her acting debut in 1955, recently told Extra’s Billy Bush that she still loves her profession as much as when she first started in the entertainment industry.

Oscars 2024 host Jimmy Kimmel to shake it off.Jibes about the pop star and football player couple are “not off limits, but probably played out,” Kimmel, who will emcee the Academy Awards for the fourth time on Sunday, told CNN.The “Bad Blood” singer has, for better or worse, been a fixture of host monologues all award season long.Comedian Jo Koy flopped at the Golden Globes in January when he remarked, “The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL? At the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift.”The CBS broadcast then cut to Swift, who did not laugh at the bit.A month later, Grammys host Trevor Noah kept things friendlier with his Swift shtick. “Are you seeing what’s happening right now as Taylor Swift moves through the room?” he said of the eventual Album of the Year winner.

prestigious Song of the Year prize at the Grammys last month.And while our money is on the siblings to become the youngest two-time Oscar winners, they may still lose the night to Ryan Gosling when he brings all of his Kenergy to the stage at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.It’s sure to be a musical number unlike any that the Academy Awards have seen before.But before all that blonde fragility is unleashed on Sunday, we look back at the wackiest Oscar musical performances ever.The sight of the orange-jumpsuited singer cavorting across the stage with a troupe of ghosts and other assorted ghouls was truly scary. As was the fact that Stevie Wonder’s “I Just Called to Say I Love You” not only beat out the No.

If Christopher Nolan’s brilliant story of the father of the atomic bomb loses, it’ll be the biggest upset since the surprise victory of “Shakespeare in Love” over “Saving Private Ryan” in 1999. It’s won just about every other major award it’s been nominated for, and rightly so. “American Fiction”“Anatomy of a Fall”“Barbie”“The Holdovers”“Killers of the Flower Moon”“Maestro”“Past Lives”“Poor Things”“The Zone of Interest”The Battle of the Stones (Gladstone vs. Emma Stone) has raged all season long. But Gladstone’s triumph at the SAG Awards, for her role as a wronged Native American woman, should get her across the ultimate finish line.The German actress turned in a stunning duo of performances, in “Anatomy of a Fall” and “The Zone of Interest,” that made her a talked-about topic for months. I can almost see her pulling an Olivia Colman — split the love and slide in for the win.Annette Bening, “Nyad”Carey Mulligan, “Maestro”Emma Stone, “Poor Things”After Giamatti’s Golden Globe and Critics Choice victories, he looked like the guy to beat.

Jimmy Kimmel is set to host and Scorpio king Ryan Gosling will take to the stage to perform his existential bro-anthem “I’m Just Ken.” Gosling is nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category for his role in the blond blockbuster “Barbie.” Despite critical acclaim, the film’s director Greta Gerwig, and star, Margot Robbie were notably excluded from the Best Director and Best Actress categories — thereby proving the point of the movie they made. In 2024, we’ll be celebrating the tenth anniversary of Aquarius John Travolta’s abject butchering of Idina Menzel’s name — and, we’re told, the public debut of Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid’s relationship.If the zodiac signs themselves were winners in academy categories, we’d place our bets that Aries wins Best Live Action Short Film, as they go hard and but not for long.

Meryl Streep said “saved the movies” in 2023 – may have been snubbed in some of the major categories at the 2024 Academy Awards. (Shout-out to Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig!)But there is no stopping that arch-footed doll in at least one category — Best Original Song — where Billie Eilish is the overwhelming favorite to win her second Oscar for her brooding ballad “What Was I Made For?”Only another “Barbie” ditty, “I’m Just Ken,” even stands a chance at an upset.Just like “No Time to Die” — Eilish’s Bond theme that took the song-penning prize in 2022 — the tune that hauntingly humanizes Barbie was co-written by the singer’s producer brother Finneas.

96th Academy Awards are just a few short days away and the night promises to be an epic evening filled with A-listers, fun, music, funny commentary and heartfelt speeches. The Emmys, the Golden Globes and the Grammys have all come and gone.

Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the most celebrated actors of our time, scoring three Oscars over the course of his four-decade-long career.While the 66-year-old retired from the profession back in 2017, is there a possibility he could make a grand return?Not a chance. Director Jim Sheridan — who worked with the performer on films such as “My Left Foot,” “In the Name of the Father” and “The Boxer” — just confirmed that Day-Lewis is done with Hollywood for good.The filmmaker, 75, told Screen Daily that he desires to work with the “Lincoln” star again.“He says he’s done, I keep talking to him,” Sheridan said.

yikes! – DeGeneres, Kevin Spacey, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Bradley Cooper, Jared Leto, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep and more today and you’ll witness something akin to a prehistoric fossil recovered from the La Brea Tar Pits. Those poor stegosauruses.First, DeGeneres herself was knocked off her Queen of Daytime perch after allegations were made in a 2020 BuzzFeed article accusing the comic of lording over a “toxic workplace environment.” A resulting thread on Twitter, now called X — appropriately resembling a skull and crossbones — dubbed her “the meanest person alive.” Eeek!An “Ellen DeGeneres Show” source later told The Post, “The stories are all true!”.

95th Oscars which take place on Sunday, after pro-Palestine demonstrators targeted other red carpet events.The area around the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles has been blocked off with chainlink fencing as part of early preparations which will eventually involve thousands of law enforcement and security personnel.Police and organizers will want to avoid a repeat of the Grammy Awards – when arrivals at LA’s Crypto.com Arena were brought to a halt by pro-Palestinian supporters blocking traffic – by using thge security fence as in previous years.The protestors gleefully shared footage online with the hashtag #ShutItDown4Palestine. At the event itself, Annie Lennox called for a ceasefire during her tribute to Sinéad O’Connor.The Post is told the Academy’s goal on Sunday is to support and celebrate artists and avoid politics and the political landscape.The Oscars security measures use long-standing protocols designed to prevent protesters attempting to interrupt the Sunday night show.An interruption would give protesters a platform among as many as 20 million Americans watching live, millions more around the world and a much larger social media audience.Sources at the Academy Awards said that the safety and security of attendees is paramount, adding that the organization would not tolerate any behavior that actively endangers, discriminates or causes bodily harm to attendees or members of its global film community.Anti-Israel demonstrators have increasingly targeted high-profile events.
