Patty Duke, an Oscar winner for her memorable turn as Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker, died Tuesday at the age of 69.

One of the zingers in Chris Rock’s 2016 Oscars monologue was lobbed at Jada Pinkett Smith, who, as you may have heard, boycotted the ceremony this year together with her husband Will Smith.

One of the worst parts of a mixed 88th Academy Awards was the point when Chris Rock, amidst firing off many jokes on diversity and inclusion in Hollywood, made a trio of almost-tweens the punchline of an Asian joke. Today, PRI reports that at least one of those children—eight-year-old Estie Kung—had no idea her bit…

Last night at the Academy Awards, Chris Rock embarked on a mission to help his daughters Lola and Zahra sell Girl Scout cookies. Troop members were unleashed into the audience, where they offered their delicious wares. But while Rock later announced that the Scouts had raised a triumphant $65,243, it turns out that he

Leonardo DiCaprio definitely vaped after his Oscar win Sunday night, but for those watching at home, it seemed highly probable that he’d also vaped beforehand: the dude was so mellow it was almost like he was back on the bow of the Titanic with the wind in his hair. So here’s Leo, just soaking it all in. Feels good to…

Last night, as The Boy Who Won stood onstage to thank a bunch of strangers for giving him a new piece of guest bathroom decor, the main duty of his right hand was to clutch the Oscar statue. To hold it tight. To begin a lifetime of cherishing. But while four of Leo’s digits held the little gold man, his middle finger…

Some of the jokes in Chris Rock’s opening monologue for last night Oscars landed, some didn’t; but in total, watching a black man hand Hollywood its ass for over 10 straight minutes was a breathtaking sight to behold. The video above condenses his speech to the reactions from A-list white actors like Leonardo…

The Oscars red carpet: where originality goes to die. Stylists, working with designers, seem to have bled out every bit of actual style from their clients, which is how we ended up with several years of impeccably, boringly dressed actors in gowns approximating the dress code of winter formals or deb balls. (At the …

Like people in other professions, actors weren’t always actors. Many hoped to be discovered while working in the food industry. Some were once educators. Others were just typical office workers who decided it was their time to become a star. But a special few tried their hand at a different kind of celebrity before…

On Sunday night, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy won an Academy Award for Best Documentary Short for A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness. This was notable for several reasons: Obaid-Chinoy already won in 2012 for her movie Saving Face, about Pakistani women who are the victims of acid attacks, becoming the first…

Some feuds develop slowly, over the course of many, many moons. You see the temperature between two people—people who often begin as friends—rise until it reaches its feuding point. The lid pops off, the relationship boils over, and we all saw it coming.

First of all, I’d like to thank the asshats at the Academy for ending Leonardo DiCaprio’s decades of suffering and finally giving him that trivial trophy he so desperately craved and campaigned for this entire awards season despite his acting being pretty regularé in Revenant.

And so we come to the end of award season. Yes, Leonardo DiCaprio got his goddamn Oscar. Truly, our long national nightmare is over. Your winners:

Lady Gaga was joined onstage Sunday night by sexual assault survivors during her performance of the the Oscar nominated song “Til It Happens to You.” She lost to Sam Smith’s song from Spectre soon after, who specifically said Gaga was “incredible” during his acceptance speech.

Until roughly 15 minutes ago, I thought the only people who saw a final cut of By the Sea in its entirety were Angelina Jolie, her assistants, and our very own Rich Juzwiak. And of that handful of viewers, I didn’t think anyone actually enjoyed it.

During Sunday night’s Oscars, Chris Rock did a funny bit where he had his daughter’s Girl Scout troop go out into the audience and get rich Hollywood people to give them money for cookies. Very cute, very nice. HOWEVER.

Chris Rock opened the 88th Annual Academy Awards Sunday night with a monologue that likely lived up to expectations.

We arrive at Hollywood’s annual prom night for the 88th year in a row with some caveats and some questions: mainly #OscarsSoWhite is a cause for boycott for many, wherein it’s unclear if the ancient pasty mummy-men controlling the movie industry even saw half the movies on the ballot. But also, does this night even…

Tonight’s the night, and the women of Hollywood have spent all day—and probably yesterday, and every day before that starting around August—juicing and crunching and plucking and scrubbing and taping their bodies together so we can judge their stylist’s choices from the comfort of our couch.

In 1941, 33-year-old Bette Davis was appointed the first female president of the Academy of Motion Pictures. She didn’t even make it to the two-month mark before she got annoyed with the fact they didn’t really want her do anything except look pretty—and then she bailed.
