The Oscars Brought Laughter, Tears, and Lots of Singing

PopSugar — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 05:00:00 -0800

Last night, the Oscars provided an exciting finale to another awesome award season. We were treated to a new format that kicked off with Hugh Jackman showing off his singing and dancing skills before having fun and joking with the big names of the night. Later on he was joined by Beyonce, Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, and Amanda Seyfried for a fun medley honoring musicals. Jennifer Aniston looked gorgeous onstage and happy sitting next to John, although we were so hoping to see her on the red carpet. Among the big surprises of the night were the presenters - we were treated to sightings of some of our favorites from Reese to Will, with a special shout-out to Ben Stiller for cracking us up with his Joaquin Phoenix impersonation.

There weren't many upsets last night and the winners - click here to see them all - could not have been more gracious to accept their Oscar. Penelope started it off by joking that she might faint, which was later echoed by Kate Winslet who also had an especially sweet moment trying to locate her dad in the huge crowd. Heath Ledger's family accepted his statue on his behalf, as we teared up right along with everyone in the Kodak Theater. Sean Penn won the final showdown between him and Mickey, but he was sure to give his friend a very honorable mention. The big winner of the night was Slumdog Millionaire, with the whole cast onstage accepting the Best Picture trophy - right down to the film's smallest stars.

Hugh Jackman Had a Secret Weapon at the Oscars

PopSugar — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 16:30:45 -0800

Hugh Jackman flew out of LAX yesterday and was greeted by tons of fans in Japan this morning. Hugh's hosting duties and performances landed him in our top 10 favorite Oscar moments list, and on her show yesterday, Oprah Winfrey said it was the best Oscars she's ever seen. The viewers seem to agree - ratings were up 13 percent from last year's show. Hugh opened up to Oprah about how he stayed calm and what he enjoyed most about the big night. Here's more:

On not staying out late afterward: "This was the party for me. I had the time of my life. I keep thinking: 'I'm a kid from the northern suburbs of Sydney; I have no business being here. But what the hell? For three and a half hours, I'm going to have the time of my life.'"
On being backstage: "The thing that touched me the most, when people win . . . the moment they cross over into the wings something incredible happens. They just melt. It just sinks in literally the moment they cross over. It's a very personal, very intense moment. It's almost like it's overwhelming when you see that happen to them. You just feel privileged to be there."
On singing with Beyonce: "After she comes down, I sing from Grease 'I've got chills . . . ,' that's the easiest acting I've ever done in my life. She's singing and I know there's a billion people and everyone in the audience, but I thought it was just for me."
On why he wasn't too nervous: "I had a secret weapon. My secret weapon was sitting in about the sixth row - it was my wife. It's a connection. It takes it off you."

Hugh's wife also passed him notes during the show as she played her own part in making the Academy Awards such a memorable night for everyone.
