- Is this leaked list of supposed Oscar winners for real? Most of the “winners” are pretty expected, but there are a few upsets listed as well, namely in the Supporting Actress and Screenplay categories. [Cinematical]
- Kate Winslet may be the front-runner for the Oscar, but it’s her parents’ approval that means the most: “My dad’s an actor and he’s very opinionated and has specific tastes so it’s not always that they’ve seen a film I’ve been in and they have lots of things to say or are extremely moved. They always love everything I’m in because they’re my mum and dad. And they always say the right thing but with The Reader they were just so shocked because they just said it’s not you, it’s not you.” [ShowbizSpy]
- Celebrities will have the option to donate their Oscar gift bags to charity: “The spin … is that the celebrity actually could go around, pick up one of everything and then give it to the charity of their choice,” says Gavin Keilly, who runs the GBK luxury lifestyle gift suites, “They won’t be taxed on it and now they are doing their part about really making a difference and helping out a good cause, just for a few minutes of their time.” [Reuters]

- Taylor Swift has forgiven the girls who were mean to her in school: “You know, I’ve kind of let that grudge go,” she says, “And I let it go completely when I played a show in my hometown a year after my album came out and [at the signing] after the show, all those girls showed up they waited for three hours in line and they had my shirts on. And I started to realize, wow, we were kids. And you know what? They don’t remember it.”[RollingStone]
- Breaking the hearts of every boy I went to elementary school with, Danica “Winnie Cooper” McKellar is engaged to marry her longtime boyfriend next month. [OK!]
- Sparkly vampire Robert Pattinson doesn’t understand the American drinking culture (or lack thereof): “There isn’t really like a pub [culture] in L.A,” Pattinson says, “It’s just a very different culture. I think people from L.A. don’t really understand how it’s such a normal thing to be in pubs from a very young age in London. people [in America] just think it’s so strange. Like drinking has such a stigma attached to it here. I’ve never really understood it. It seems so normal to me.”[ShowbizSpy]

You’re already humiliated by, like, ‘Oh, right, I forgot, that’s what I look like.’ Now you get to see yourself frozen with the worst angle of you face -– and with bad acting on top of it. You want to say, Excuse me, I’ve just got to go and kill myself.”- Demetri Martin [EW]

I know a lot of stars wanting a fair share of the spotlight are making a point of not arriving when Brad and Ange are making the walk up the red carpet.
