Awards / Awards Shows

Sacha Baron Cohen took shameless promotion to a whole other level on the red carpet of the Oscars tonight -- not only did he show up dressed as his character from the upcoming movie "The Dictator" ... but he spilled an urn filled with fake ashes of Kim Jong Il all over Ryan Seacrest on live television.

Like the king and queen of the Hollywood prom, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie -- and her legs -- were among the last to arrive to the Academy Awards on Sunday.

We are not worthy.

Gwyneth Paltrow showed up to the Academy Awards wearing what looks like the remains of Celine Dion's infamous backward white tuxedo from the '99 Oscars.

Looking like twinsies, "Scary Movie" queen Anna Faris and "Bridesmaids" babe Rose Byrne both wore severe bangs and shimmery black gowns to the Oscars.

Question is ...

Oscar nominated for his role in "Moneyball," Jonah Hill wears a little black tux to the Academy Awards.

He's becoming a really big star again.

Oscar nominee George Clooney arrives to the Academy Awards with his gorgeous former wrestler girlfriend Stacy Keibler.

Whether he wins or loses, he's taking home a statue.

For some reason, former "Caroline in the City" star Lea Thompson was one of the first to arrive at the Oscars today.

Perhaps she is getting an honorary Academy Award for her stellar work in "Howard the Duck."

With the 84th Annual Academy Awards just hours away, take a mystical trip back in time and check out the good, the bad and the ugly from last year's fashion fiascoes!

Wearing a plunging low cut orange number, Best Actress Oscar nominee Viola Davis showed off some of her other God-given talents at the NAACP Image Awards in L.A. this weekend.

2012 Grammy Awards host LL Cool J wasted no time addressing the passing of Whitney Houston, leading the star-packed audience in a prayer in her honor.

Immediately after, LL showed a clip of Whitney singing "I Will Always Love You" at the Grammys back in 1994.

Jodie Foster's sons got a good hearty laugh out of Ricky Gervais cracking a "beaver" joke about their mom at the Golden Globes -- at least Ricky thinks so.

We just caught up with the Globes host, and asked him about the double entendre -- which arguably outed Jodie -- and he said, "I don't think anyone thought it was offensive, did they?"

Well, Ricky ... we put a poll on the site and most people agreed with you -- only 21% believe the joke crossed the line.

As for Jodie's 13 and 10 year old boys hearing the shot? Check out the video ... Ricky seems to think they had a "good sense of humor" about it.

Here's "Fashion Police" host Kelly Osbourne sportin' an unfortunate hairdo of various shades of gray at the Golden Globes on Sunday (left) -- and the always stylish Helen Mirren at the same event (right).

Only one is 66-years-old.

Ricky Gervais basically called Jodie Foster a lesbian at the Golden Globes tonight.

It all went down during the opening monologue, when Gervais said he had been forbidden from discussing anything related to Mel Gibson, including his recent flick, "The Beaver" ... directed by Foster.

Gervais then joked about "Jodie Foster's 'Beaver'" ... saying, "I haven't seen it myself. I've spoken to a lot of guys here, they haven't seen it either. That doesn't mean it's not any good."

Foster -- who was in the crowd -- didn't appear to be too upset by the comment. She's never publicly discussed her sexual orientation.

So we gotta ask ...

Before ticking off Elton John's husband by winning for Best Original Song at the Golden Globes last night, Madonna got into another altercation ... by accidentally stepping all over Jessica Biel's unfortunate dress on the red carpet.

But Biel didn't feel the need to rant on and on about it on Facebook, as she and Madonna appeared to laugh off the fashion faux pas moments later.

No fighting over material, girls.
