Jimmy Kimmel wore jeans and an untucked button-down shirt on Sunday's Oscar's red carpet.

The casual attire was part of the late night host's pre-Oscars show bit in which he confronted "real people" tweeting mean things about celebrities at the Oscars. The bit didn't go over well, with viewers thinking he was making fun of them. We're sure the Academy wasn't thrilled with his outfit, either.

Oscars host Ellen DeGeneres was worried about the celebrities in the audience Sunday night who would not have access to food throughout the three-plus hour show, so she decided to take action.

DeGeneres ordered pizzas for the star-studded audience.

After an actual delivery boy from Big Mama's & Papa's Pizzeria passed out slices to the Oscar nominees, DeGeneres joked, "I don't have any money, who here has money? Sandy [Bullock], you have a lot of money, you can tip him right? Where's Harvey Weinstein? No pressure just a billion people watching, whatever you feel is right."

Best Supporting Actor winner Jared Leto was one of few celebs to actually grab a greasy slice.

Meryl Streep did, too.

With Frozen's 'Let It Go' Taking The Oscar For Best Song, Robert Lopez Becomes Latest EGOT Winner

Robert Lopez Oscars

Songwriter Robert Lopez achieved a huge career accomplishment last night when he won the Academy Award for Best Song for his work on the Disney Animated tale Frozen, but in actuality that’s only a fraction of what is actually an even bigger accomplishment.

With last night’s win, Lopez has become only the 13th person in history to win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony, also known as EGOTing. 

Lopez shared tonight’s trophy with Kristen Anderson-Lopez, who co-wrote the music and lyrics to "Let It Go," the sweeping epic song sung by Idina Menzel that absolutely blew critics and audiences away when Frozen was first released late last year. 



In addition to his Oscar, Lopez won two Tonys for co-writing the Broadway hit The Book of Mormon, a Grammy for that play’s soundtrack, and a primetime Emmy for his work on the show Scrubs



"EGOT" was an acronym first put together by actor Philip Michael Thomas, best known for playing the role of Tubbs on Miami Vice.

It was his hope that before the end of his career he would have an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony, but sadly things did not pan out that way for him.

Price does, however, belong to a group that also includes Richard Rodgers, Helen Hayes, Rita Moreno, John Gielgud, Aubrey Hepburn, Marvin Hamlisch, Jonathan Tunick, Mel Brooks, Mike Nichols, Whoopi Goldberg, and Scott Rudin.

Rather than just having you research all of those names and their victories yourself, however, you can just reference the handy infographic we created. 

EGOT List

While Michael Thomas may have created the goal of "EGOTing," it was really brought back into the mainstream a few years ago when it became a plotline for Tracy Morgan’s character on the NBC sitcom 30 Rock

Bill Murray Ad Libs While Presenting Academy Award To Pay Tribute To Harold Ramis

Bill Murray Amy Adams

Bill Murray and Harold Ramis were one of the great comedic teams, responsible for classic movies like "Caddyshack,""Ghostbusters," and "Groundhog Day."

However, the two stopped speaking after the production of "Groundhog Day," which led to a decade-long feud

But after Ramis passed away last week, Murray proved during the Oscars that it was all water under the bridge.

While presenting the award for Best Cinematography, Murray added to the end of the list of nominees, saying, “Oh, we forgot one. Harold Ramis for 'Caddyshack,' 'Ghostbusters,' and 'Groundhog Day.'”

Co-presenter Amy Adams and the rest of the crowd cheered after the remarks while Murray then apologized for taking away the focus from the actual nominees.

"Please forgive me, gentlemen," Murray said. 

The award eventually went to the cinematography team from "Gravity," but the award for most surprising poignant moment at this year's Oscars went to Murray.

The Internet Is Devastated That Leonardo DiCaprio Still Hasn't Won An Oscar

Sunday, Leonardo DiCaprio was up for Best Actor at the 86th Academy Awards for his role in "The Wolf of Wall Street."

Spoiler: He didn't take home the award. Instead, it went to his "Wolf" co-star Matthew McConaughey, who starred in "Dallas Buyers' Club."

It's the fifth time DiCaprio has been nominated for an Oscar and has gone home empty handed.

The actor has a really big following online — especially on Tumblr. He's become something of a meme for never having won an Academy Award. 

So you could imagine how the Internet took the news when Leo lost for a fifth time Sunday night.

Not so well. 

Fans are rattled by how close Leo has been to the Oscar ... but how he can never quite get it.

This one's been going around a while, but it's still a goodie.

Bradley Cooper Probably Legally Owns Ellen's Oscar Selfie

$
0
0

oscar selfieThe Associated Press asked Ellen DeGeneres for permission to share her now-famous Oscar selfie with subscribers to their photo service. But does Ellen have the right to give it away? Who owns that picture?

In case you're emerging from a coma long enough to have missed the story but short enough to be aware of the word "selfie," here's what happened. While hosting the Oscars on Sunday night, DeGeneres went into the audience to take a photo with a cluster of Hollywood bigwigs (and one bigwig's brother). Her (successful) goal was to beat the all-time record for retweets, which, as of writing, she's done three times over.

According to Paul Colford of the Associated Press, who spoke with The Wire by phone, the AP simply asked DeGeneres for permission to use the photo, and it was granted. "We reached out to her staff and asked for permission to use her photo," Colford said, adding that they "were allowed to use it for editorial purposes." The agency wrote a quick blog post about it saying exactly that: "Oscar host Ellen DeGeneres granted The Associated Press the rights for the editorial use…"

The problem, according to Los Angeles-area entertainment lawyer Ethan Kirschner, whom The Wire also spoke with, is that DeGeneres might not own the copyright on the photo. "Historically," Kirschner told me, "it's always been the person who pressed the shutter who's technically the person that owns copyright." In part, that's a function of the age of the art of photography; the idea that everyone has his own camera in his pocket is a fairly new one. When the courts were trying to figure out who gets copyright, they "had to assign copyright to someone; they gave it to the person that literally pressed the button."

In the case of the Oscare selfie, that person wasn't DeGeneres — it was actor Bradley Cooper. In her tweet, DeGeneres acknowledges that fact (in case the many television cameras capturing the scene hadn't made it obvious): "If only Bradley's arm was longer," she wrote, joking that more celebs could have been included in the picture. "In this case, if you go by the technical law, Cooper would own the copyright," Kirschner said.

And then he continued: "Does anyone else have a claim as a co-author of that photograph?" It's unlikely that Cooper, should he choose to do so, would be able to defend sole copyright in court. (We would, however, love to see that trial.) Kirschner points to the idea of co-authorship, a principle upheld in the case Brod v. General Publishing Group. In that case, a photographer sued a book author for using photos that he'd taken without permission. But since the author had participated in the creation of the images — how they were framed, look at proofs — he was consider a co-owner, granting him the right to publish them. If Ellen needed to keep Cooper at bay, Kirschner thinks, this is how she could do so. And not necessarily only Ellen. It could be a series of suits and counter-suits from Jennifer Lawrence and Kevin Spacey and Brad Pitt and whoever else helped compose the shot could have varying levels of claim.

The big question, though, is whether Samsung can claim copyright. The Vergereports on the phone/camera/everything company's advertising deal with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the group that puts on the show. Samsung has advertised on the show for years, and — although Ellen used an iPhone for her backstage pictures — the phone used for two selfies onstage was very obviously a Samsung device. Was this an in-show ad? Could Samsung actually own the photo?

Probably not, according to Kirschner. Let's say there was a contract between the Academy or DeGeneres and the phone company. "If Samsung had an agreement with Ellen that they would exclusively own the rights to the photo, that may not then apply to Bradley," he said. So if Samsung tried to enforce an agreement with Ellen (which, again, may not exist), Cooper could again muck up the works, since he's exempt from that agreement, having not, you know, agreed to it. Samsung can't say "we have copyright over all pictures taken on this device."

Could Samsung claim co-owner status, if they, say, told Ellen they'd like her to go into the audience and take a picture with those celebrities? Kirschner doubts it. In the Brod case, "he was a compositional contributor on the shot. It's a hard case to make for Samsung."

So the AP is probably safe in getting sign-off from DeGeneres but, just to be safe, it might be worth checking with Cooper's people as well. Luckily for all involved, ownership of popular images isn't the sort of thing that Hollywood types get litigious about.

Update: Quartz's Zach Seward raises another interesting wrinkle: the distribution method. Twitter doesn't claim copyright of photos published on the service, but only the right to publish it. (This situation, too, has been addressed in court.)  In fact,Twitter's copyright page offers a helpful tip. "In general, the photographer and NOT the subject of a photograph is the actual rights holder of the resulting photograph."

Update: Eric Spiegelman, himself an entertainment lawyer in Los Angeles, presents the DeGeneres case for sole ownership.

Ellen DeGeneres came up with the idea for the selfie and proceeded to execute it. In the process of producing the selfie, it became apparent that she needed a crew, and Bradley Cooper took in upon himself to be this photographer. Ellen DeGeneres, of course, consented to his involvement. At that moment, the services of Bradley Cooper were employed by Ellen DeGeneres for some non-financial compensation (the added fame of being a part of Hollywood history, perhaps).

Usually, when an individual creative contribution becomes part of a "work made for hire," it's clearly spelled out in a written contract. Here, the parties did not have enough time to draw up an agreement. But Bradley Cooper has been working in Hollywood long enough to know that when he is employed in the production of a picture, it's always a "work for hire" situation. On every movie he's ever made, he signed a contract stating as much. Everyone who contributes anything creative to a film signs a similar agreement. As such, Bradley Cooper is aware of the standard business practice of this industry and can be reasonably expected to operate in the same way in the absence of a written contract.

Pizza Chain Gets $10 Million In Free Publicity, Has Huge Sales Surge After Ellen's Oscars Bit

During Sunday's Academy Awards, show host Ellen DeGeneres took it upon herself to feed the A-list actors in attendance by ordering 10 large pizzas and passing them out throughout the star-studded crowd.

Ellen DeGeneres Oscars pizza jared letoAfter a call was placed to Big Mama's and Papa's pizzeria around 5pm, delivery guy Edgar had no idea he would be dragged into the audience to deliver pizza to Oscar nominees in front of 43 million viewers.

But the images of Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Jared Leto, and Brad Pitt chomping down on the greasy 'za proved to be the most incredible and priceless of advertising for the 20-location pizza chain in Southern California.

Brad Pitt Angelina Jolie eating pizza oscars 2014According to Variety, a 30-second commercial spot during the Oscars broadcast costs around $1.8 million, 

Ellen spent about two whole minutes distributing the slices and then another minute collecting money, so TMZ estimates the free advertising for the pizzeria would total around $10.8 million.

The site points out that since the chain spent no money in actually producing a commercial, they pretty much received "the best ad deal in the history of television."

The pizzeria's franchise owner confirmed the free advertising has been paying off big time.

“I would say [sales increased] 300, or 400, or 500 percent,” Big Mama’s & Papa’s Pizza franchiser Aro Agakhanyan told TheWrap. “We got a lot of orders, a lot of online orders. We had over 60,000 visitors on our website in one hour; there were a lot of things happening.”

According to Agakhanyan, DeGeneres is “a regular customer” at the chain’s Burbank location,which is near her daytime talk show's studio — however, the delivery order for the Oscars telecast was placed Sunday at a different location closer to the Dolby Theatre.

“She just called over there — just made a pizza delivery order,” Agakhanyan recalled. “And then the person who took the delivery, actually, he is the franchisee of the location. It was so busy that he took the delivery himself.”

“He had no idea that he was walking to the front stage,"Agakhanyan confirmed. "He was not aware of that.”

Peter O'Toole chased the Oscar for more than four decades with eight nominations for films ranging from 1962's "Lawrence of Arabia" up until 2006's "Venus." Richard Burton comes close with seven nods over a 25-year span.

This Is What It's Like To Go To The Oscars With Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence best friend oscars

Laura Simpson is Jennifer Lawrence's self-proclaimed BFF.

The two met seven years ago at an event where they both didn’t know a single person and hit it off over a mutual respect for "Friends" character, Chandler Bing.

"We've been eating pizza together ever since," says Simpson, who recently wrote a firsthand account of what it was like to attend the Oscars with her famous bestie.

But, as Simpson writes, going to the Academy Awards as a "nobody" isn't as fun as one may think.

"Unless you are famous at the Oscars, you are completely invisible," she says. "I have never experienced anything like it. The only time anyone talks to you is if you are in the way of his or her photo."

Things got off to a rocky start.

"We finally arrive at the red carpet and as we exit the car, my date eats s--- and uses my freshly done Lauren Conrad up do to break her fall. The crowd goes wild." [Simpson is the one in the black dress who Lawrence tried to take down with her.]

After Simpson quickly learned to move out of the way, she headed to the bathroom, where "Jessica Biel holds the door open for me and compliments my dress" and "Margot Robbie from 'Wolf of Wall Street' shows me her Kardashian-sized diamond ring in line for the toilet."

Soon, "the show begins and I am seated directly behind the camera's crane, so unless people are to either side of center stage, I can't see jack s---."

Simpson explains, "They mount two maybe 32" TVs on either side of the auditorium which are near impossible to see so basically everyone in the theater is just sitting in complete darkness during the categories."

And not only can attendees not really see what's going on, but they are also deprived food for the three-plus hours-long show.

Suddenly, says, Simpson, "you realize you are STARVING and haven't had any food since breakfast at 9 a.m."

So naturally, most head to the bar to fuel up on liquid calories.

Jennifer Lawrence best friend oscars"After waiting for my date's category, her dad and I decide to hit the bar and just watch from the monitor behind the bar and slam a few drinks to make this tolerable. The Academy really needs to spring for more hors d'oeuvres options because now everyone is hammered."

Luckily, thanks to host Ellen DeGeneres' pizza bit during the show, there is plenty of greasy 'za available backstage.

"My date comes out after her category and we decide to watch the rest of the show in the greenroom where there is pizza."

And then came the A-list celebrity sightings.

"After the show we go backstage where I meet Brad and Angelina. Brad Pitt smells amazing, like nothing I've ever smelled. Eventually we ask what cologne he's wearing and he tells us, 'I don't wear cologne, it's just my musk I guess.'"

When the show ends, the night of parties is just beginning.

"Everyone goes to Vanity Fair where, much like the Oscars, photographers yell at you and no one gives a s--- that you are a human being unless you're famous," complains Simpson. "We can't enjoy ourselves because everyone, whether they know my date or not, has some weird story they just NEED to tell her as they stand in front of me pushing me out of the circle. I get tired of this and decide to follow Bill Murray around the party. At one point he looks in my direction and winks at me while dancing to 'If You Want My Body and You Think I'm Sexy' by Rod Stewart." 

Next up, "We head to Guy OSeary's party where there is no press and people can actually have a good time."

Around 3:30 a.m., the night concludes "with an earring/hair headache and major Barbie feet."

Overall, Simpson says, "The whole experience was completely exhausting, overwhelming and surreal. I think what I took most away from the evening was how lovely all the women were. Actresses tend to get a bad reputation but every woman I met was lovely, witty and introduced themselves to me even though I wasn't famous—even Anne Hathaway. And Kerry Washington, if your marriage doesn't work out… CALL ME."

But not everyone was as down to earth as the women of Hollywood.

Simpson says her award for "Most Hollywood" of the night goes to Harvey Weinstein for "shaking my hand at the bar and saying, 'you know who I am.'"

The MTV Movie Awards Are Now Just A Major Event For Plugging Movies

Shailene Woodley, MTV Movie Awards

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Last year, the MTV Movie Awards moved up its broadcast date from June to April to incorporate a summer movie plug-fest. Sunday night's show cemented that change, as clips from anticipated blockbusters debuted at the madcap ceremony.

In its 22nd year, the MTV Movie Awards show has become an important event for Hollywood studios. And oh yes, there were some awards, too.

At last year's show, which saw an average of 3.8 million viewers, up from 3.2 million for the previous year's telecast, included new footage from "Iron Man 3" and the world premiere of "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" trailer, which was introduced by one of the films' stars, Liam Hemsworth.

Sure, an abundance of golden popcorn-shaped prizes were again presented for fun fair, like the award for best shirtless performance, which Zac Efron accepted, well, shirtless. But it's the summer movie teasers — and the stars attached to them — that really make the show.

Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone (who will also appear in Woody Allen's "Magic in the Moonlight," July 25) and Jamie Foxx, star in the seventh installment of Sony's "Spider-Man" franchise, which kicks off the summer movie season on May 2. The trio introduced a clip of the film showing Spider-Man (Garfield) and the sparkling blue villain Electro (Foxx) battling in New York's Times Square.

Also expected to dominate at the box office, Fox's "X-Men: Days of Future Past" was touted with an intro by one of its new stars, Ellen Page, who will take on the role of Shadowcat. The upcoming film, out May 23, sees the X-Men joining forces with their younger selves and introduces a number of new mutants — Blink, Sunspot, Warpath and Bishop.

There to present the award for best fight was Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the star of Warner Bros.' "Godzilla," which opens May 16. A short clip of the film, showing the monster preparing to wreak havoc, aired before Taylor-Johnson appeared on stage.

seth rogan zac efron dave franco mtv movie awardsSeth Rogen, Dave Franco and Efron, who lead Universal Pictures' comedy "Neighbors," out May 9, also presented the award for best kiss together.

No clip was shown for Disney-Marvel's opted against showing a clip of "Guardians of the Galaxy," a bit of a superhero spoof set in space, this yea. But Chris Pratt, the star of the film, out August 1, checked in at the show as well with a long speech encouraging viewers to vote for their favorite nominees online.

First-look footage from Fox's "The Fault in Our Stars," starring Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort, showed the beginnings of the onscreen couple's romance in the heartfelt comedy.

Mark Wahlberg, who received the generation award at the show, touted his upcoming "Transformers: Age of Extinction," saying the Paramount Pictures' flick would be the biggest movie of 2014. Some of the crew of the hit HBO show "Entourage" presented Wahlberg with his award and the presence of Adrian Grenier, Jerry Ferrara and Kevin Dillon reminded us that the "Entourage" movie is being readied for 2015.

channing tatum jonah hill mtv movie awardsStarring in two possible summer hits, Channing Tatum will appear in both the buddy cop comedy "22 Jump Street," out June 13, with Jonah Hill (who picked up the best comedic performance award for "The Wolf of Wall Street"), and sci-fi fantasy "Jupiter Ascending," out July 18, with Mila Kunis (who scored the title of best villain for "Oz the Great and Powerful").

Both Kunis, looking very pregnant in a short, loose black dress, and Hill presented Tatum with his Trailblazer Award.

And not to be missed was Josh Hutcherson's mention of Philip Seymour Hoffman, who died on Feb. 2 from a combination of heroin, cocaine and other drugs.

"If Philip were here he would think this was really cool," said Hutcherson, one of the stars of "Hunger Games" and the best male performance recipient.

"To have him in our movie was one of the coolest things," Hutcherson said. "We think about him every day on set. This definitely goes out to him as well."

"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1" will release later this year.

No MTV awards show would be complete without a few music numbers. Ellie Goulding sang "Beating Heart," while Zedd took the stage for "Find You." Both tracks appear on the "Divergent" soundtrack.

Host Conan O'Brien kicked off the ceremony, which aired live from the Nokia Theatre, with a challenge to gain 50 celebrity cameos for his opening segment. And of course he came through with many stars like Paul Rudd and Adam Sandler, who have films expected in the coming months.

The MTV awards had some stiff competition from other networks on Sunday night, including the latest installment of HBO's popular "Game of Thrones" and the final season premiere of AMC's "Mad Men."
