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)

Tina Fey has delivered yet again!

The 41 year-old actress and comedienne gave birth to a baby girl on Wednesday, August 10th.

Penelope Athena is the name Fey and her husband, composer Jeffrey Richmond chose for their child.

The 30 Rock star told Ellen DeGeneres that they did not know the sex of their baby and were waiting to find out. Penelope joins her big sister Alice, in the Fey-Richmond home.

In her book, Bossypants, the former SNL star joked about giving Alice a sibling.

“I thought that raising an only child would be the norm in Manhattan, but my daughter is the only child in her class without a sibling,” Fey wrote. “Most kids have at least two.”

“Who will be my daughter’s family when my husband and I are dead from stress-induced cankers?” she joked. “She must have a sibling.”

The deed is done.

Saturday Night Live alums and homegirls Tina Fey and Amy Poehler made an appearance at NBC’s upfront presentation this week.  Both of their shows, 30 Rock and Parks & Recreation are safely ensconced in NBC’s lineup, so they should both be feeling pretty good.

Tina looks fantastic, as always.  Is there really a baby bump under there?  Amy is Mommy to a new baby herself – baby Abel James is just 9 months old.

Tina Fey is expecting a baby.

The former Saturday Night Live star wrote about giving Alice a brother or sister in her book Bossypants.

“I thought that raising an only child would be the norm in Manhattan, but my daughter is the only child in her class without a sibling,” Fey wrote. “Most kids have at least two.”

Tina Fey lands on the cover of the April 2011 issue of InStyle.

The multi-talented Fey is not only writing and starring on TV’s 30 Rock, she has authored a book, Bossypants, out April 5th where she tackles her own life with her dead-on sense of humor.

While the actress may be in charge of somethings, Fey claims her daughter is the boss of her.

“My daughter. Kids are definitely the boss of you,” she said. “Anyone who will barge into the room while you are on the commode is the boss of you. And when you explain to them that you’re on the commode and that they should leave but they don’t? That’s a high-level boss.”

Although the 40 year-old comedienne jokes about her daughter’s ability to rule her even during a bathroom break, she isn’t all laughs about how harsh the internet critics can be.

“Any time you talk about being a working mother and you complain about it in any way, people eat your face,” she says. “I remember reading some interview where Gwyneth Paltrow said something like, ‘I missed my kids on the set one day and I was crying.’ And I thought, Yeah, I’ve totally done that.”

The 30 Rock star went on to say “But on the website where I read it there were these furious comments. ‘But you’re a movie star!’ Yes, it’s much worse for a mom serving in Afghanistan. Of course. But there’s just no forgiveness.”

For more of what Tina’s got to say, grab the issue on sale Friday.

Finally Meryl Streep and Tina Fey will likely be working together in the upcoming film Mommy & Me.

The two very talented ladies are showing interest in a movie project titled, Mommy & Me. There is a 21 year age difference between Tina and Meryl so that doesn’t sound too bad.

Stanley Tucci, Streep’s good friend and co-star in The Devil Wears Prada and Julie & Julia will direct the comedy.

The movie is currently in the very beginning phases. There’s no script yet, but the concept has been getting a lot of buzz at the studios.

I love both of them, should be a great combination! We’ll have to wait and see what it’s going to be about.
