It’s Hollywood’s biggest night and we’re finally getting a chance to see how well we did on our Oscar picks.  It was a pretty predictable night, with The Artist taking home to top prize of the evening and five awards total.  Though not taking the top prize, Hugo also took home five awards, though mostly technical awards.  In the end, we managed a respectable 16 correct out of 24 categories.

So which was your favorite moment of the night?  Any big surprises?  And most importantly, how did you do in your office pool?

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Science have been in a tizzy the past few days over reports that actor (and Academy member) Sacha Baron Cohen would be arriving to the Oscar red carpet on Sunday in full costume as General Aladeen, his freedom hating character coming to theaters May 11th in The Dictator.  The Academy is adamantly opposed to using the award show as a publicity stunt to promote upcoming films and some have reported that the Academy has gone so far as to revoke Cohen’s tickets.  The actor was planning to attend the awards as part of the cast of Hugo, the film with the most nominations this year.  The Academy has said it will allow Cohen …

The truth of the matter is that the Oscars are determined by a relatively small group of individuals working in the film industry.  We know experts are predicting The Artist will most likely be the big winner this Sunday, taking home the prize for Best Picture, but how would the Oscars look if the fans were able to pick the winners.  MTV did just that and reached out to its viewers to see which of the nominated films would win the big prizes.  Check out the full list below:

Best Picture
“The Help”- 41%
“The Artist” – 17%
“Moneyball”- 10%

With most of the industry award shows now behind us, we are getting a good indication of who will most likely take home gold this weekend at the 84th Annual Academy Awards.  To help you with your office Oscar pool, we’ve compiled our list of who we think will win come Sunday.

Best Picture:  Early on, this was a battle between the two films with the most nominations, Hugo and The Artist.  Alexander Payne’s The Descendants soon became a legitimate contender with The Help being an audience favorite.  With several wins at other big award shows, we think The Artist is the hands down favorite to take the prize.

Leading Actor:   This will be one of the toughest races to predict …

Two of the film industries biggest awards shows were held over the weekend and wins from The Help and The Artist have placed the two films as front-runners to take home some of the Oscars biggest awards.  The Help dominated the 18th Screen Actors Guild Awards taking home three of the top movie awards, including Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for Viola Davis, Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role for Octavia Spencer and the biggest award of the evening Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has teamed with Funny Or Die for their first Oscar trailer celebrating the return of host Billy Crystal after a ten year absence.  He is joined by stars Robin Williams, Josh Duhamel, Megan Fox, William Fichtner and Vinnie Jones in this send-up of some of Crystal’s memorable Oscar openings.

“We wanted to try something a little bit different this year instead of a traditional, clip-based piece,” said Academy Chief Marketing Officer Christina Kounelias. “The trailer has a fun twist that conveys how excited everyone is to have Billy back.”

The 84th Academy Awards will mark Crystal’s ninth appearance as host. “Our team had a great time working with the Academy and joining forces with …

Yesterday we gave you our predictions on the movies we thought will get nominated for Best Picture and Best Animated Feature and today we’re focusing our attention on the coveted acting categories. First up, we’re breaking down which actresses from the throng of 2011 movies we think will have their name called come January 24th.

With the last of the Oscar contenders hitting the big screen over the holiday weekend, we thought we would break down our predictions for the 2012 Academy Awards.  Today, we’re focusing on two of the most important categories of them all – Best Picture and Best Animated Feature.

For Best Picture, we’re thinking The Artist will be making this year’s list.  The silent film is making a lot of noise in Hollywood and if it actually won the award, it would be the first time a silent film took home Best Picture since the first Academy Awards in which Wings took home the golden statue back in 1928.  The other spots will most likely go to The Descendants, the story of …
