Academy Awards

Billions of people watched the 2014 Oscars around the world, so it's no surprise that when host Ellen DeGeneres took a selfie with Brad Pitt, Jennifer Lawrence, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Kevin Spacey, Bradley Cooper and more, it was going to be popular. How popular? It broke Twitter.

Hours of prep time go into getting our favorite stars ready for the 2014 Oscars red carpet! Luckily, the stars are kind enough to share behind-the-scenes pics of the process.

Some fun clips for Mardi Gras and Oscar viewing...

The 2014 Oscar nominations were announced this morning by 'Thor 2' star Chris Hemsworth and Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. So who are the 2014 Oscar nominees? Who were the big surprises and the big snubs? Find out!

I selected a few of my favorite shots from behind the scenes and one of the adorable child actress (from Houma, LA) Quvenzhané Wallis and her precious puppy purse.

Michelle Obama and Jack Nicholson, who, aside from their awesomeness couldn't be more different, announced the winner for Best Picture at the 2013 Oscars -- and it was none other than 'Argo.' And though he could have, Ben Affleck didn't rub anyone's nose in it. He's a much better person than we are.

Daniel Day-Lewis won the Best Actor Oscar for 'Lincoln' -- his third such trophy, which set a new record.

Jennifer Lawrence didn't beat Meryl this time ... but only because Streep wasn't nominated for anything at the 2013 Oscars. Instead, J-Law beat Jessica Chastain, Quvenzhané Wallis, Naomi Watts and Emmanuelle Riva to win Best Actress. And she fell down.

The much anticipated "In Memoriam" segment of the 2013 Oscars had us wondering one thing: "Where's Barbra Streisand?" Not because we're horrible people and wished her dead -- but because it took a while for Her Highness to make her much-anticipated entrance.

Christoph Waltz landed his second Oscar win for his role as Best Supporting Actor as German bounty hunter in the controversial Western 'Django Unchained.'

Quvenzhane Wallis, who is all of 9 and nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress, was adorable on the 2013 Oscars Red Carpet, wearing a princess-like blue dress with a shawl, poufy sleeves and slight black overlay, while carrying her now-signature puppy purse. Woof woof.

The 2013 Oscars happened tonight, Feb. 24. Here are the winners from the telecast.

Because getting to wear free gowns and jewelry and earn zillions of dollars isn't quite enough for Hollywood's elite, many go to the Oscars just for the swag. And for the 2013 Oscars, that swag includes a copy of Leeza Gibbons' book. Bet you're totes jelly!

The nominations for the 85th Annual Academy Awards will be released later this week. According to Fox News contributor Tariq Khan, the following movies are the "most likely" to make the list in the Best Picture category, "in order of probability."
