The 84th Annual Academy Awards were held in Hollywood at the Kodak Theatre (or as host Billy Crystal quipped – the Chapter 11 Theater) on Sunday night and there were few surprises.

Crystal was his usual affable, likable self; the ratings were up slightly from last year but there were no really big wow moments to the 2012 Oscars.

The biggest winners of the night were Martin Scorsese‘s Hugo and Michel Hazanavicius‘ The Artist – each taking 5 wins, although The Artist won the biggest nods of Best Director, Best Feature and Best Leading Actor among it’s accolades.

The Help star Octavia Spencer had a very sweet moment at the podium when she was genuinely overcome with emotion as she accepted her Best Supporting Actress gold statue.

Chistopher Plummer and Meryl Streep were also very engaging during their thank you speeches and Jean Dujardin shared a moment with Uggie, the Jack Russell terrier of The Artist that has become a fan favorite.

Viola Davis and George Clooney were hot contenders for Best Actress and Actor categories, respectively, but both walked away empty handed.

Among the presenters for the evening: Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, Jennifer Lopez, Tom Hanks, Cameron Diaz, Tina Fey, Michael Douglas, Bradley Cooper, Chris Rock, Melissa Leo, Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Maya Rudolph and Emma Stone.

Below is the full list of winners:  (Read the article)

Ringing in a New Year is always nice for a fresh start and it looks like that is what Kate Hudson had in mind after splitting from A-Rod.  Although you can’t exactly call her start ‘fresh’ since she and Owen Wilson have a history.

THE 10 BEST NIP SLIPS & WARDROBE MALFUNCTIONS OF 2009

Sources reveal that,

“They hadn’t seen each other for some time, but when things took a turn for the worse with Alex, Kate got in touch with Owen. They are reestablishing their friendship — we’ll see what happens. They know each other really well. They were talking about getting married at one time.  Their friends also think there are unresolved feelings between them. There’s something there.”

Here’s what Ben Stiller said about the possible upcoming sequel Zoolander 2.

Stiller says that it would be set 10 years later with Derek Zoolander dealing with the fact that he is no longer a model, possibly spending his days running a modeling school and taking care of his now 10 or 11 years old son. And Stiller says that a sequel couldn’t be made without Owen Wilson reprising his role as Hansel.

Here’s the video:

I’m not a big Ben Stiller fan personally, but Zoolander cracked me up. Hopefully they get around to making the sequel, as stupid as it will be.

Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson have only been together for a couple of months after a lot of twists and turns in their complicated relationship. I still think Kate has a big problem � she can�t be single, she needs a man to live that is no good for Owen, who is more of a rebound guy.

Suddenly the couple had an epiphany realizing they belong together and now they want to start a family, according to the Sun.

A pal of the Wedding Crashers actor said: �Kate and Owen initially got back together three months ago after realising they couldn’t live without each other. Now they are ready to become parents.

�Kate has been desperate for a brother or sister for Ryder – her first child with ex-husband Chris Robinson – for some time.

�It was a stumbling block previously with Owen. He’s always had a difficult time committing, but this time it’s different. Kate was with him throughout his recovery and that made Owen realize how much he loves her.”

Wait a minute! Owen is afraid of commitment?? This source must be from Kate�s side since they forgot to mention how clingy she can really be when she is in a relationship. Just ask Lance Armstrong!

Source continues: �They’ve discussed the idea of becoming parents at length and Kate has seen a change in Owen. He is now is truly committed and is showing a new-found maturity.

�He loves the idea of being a dad and has told Kate that he’s ready when she is, but the sooner, the better!�
The source added: “Kate is over the moon and really wants to start a family with Owen now she feels that he has finally grown up. The fact that he is ready to make that commitment to her has given her faith in the relationship.

“Kate’s family are all really behind the relationship as well after seeing how Owen has turned it around. Everyone is now confident the relationship will work out long-term and they will be together forever.�

We truly hope Kate and Owen finally live happily ever after but with their history they are in for a long marathon and still have some obstacles in their way. I seriously don�t think a baby is the answer to everything but if they really want to reproduce I’m sure the baby will be adorable � beautiful, lovely like Kate and funny like Owen (please don�t let the baby have his nose!).
