Last night was the Academy Awards, an event meant to facilitate the taking of selfies for famous people under the guise of giving them various accolades. Lots of kooky stuff happened! There was pizza! But what happened behind-the-scenes? Um, basically just more kooky stuff, plus a tiny dash of DRAMA.
Jennifer Lawrence, the Ambassador of Kooky, took a picture in which she pretended to make an attempt on Lupita Nyong’o‘s Oscar statuette. It is very cute. I nominate them both for Best Supporting Antics. [Daily Mail]

Oscar nominee Julie Delpy gave an interview in November in which she slammed the Academy: “It’s 90% white men over 70 who need money because they haven’t done anything in a long time,” quoth Julie. “You just need to give them two or three presents and they’re in your pocket. It doesn’t mean anything to me, so I don’t really care if there are women in the selection process. ” [NY Daily News]

Intensely Shocking Person Miley Cyrus did another Shocking Thing at her concert: she made out with a fan, crouched over in a glittery jumpsuit, and then proceeded to wipe her mouth a lot. OOoooooh!!!
