Announcing the 2008 Oscar Winners!

BuzzSugar — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 21:10:57 -0800

Well, the Oscars are over, and it's safe to say the Coen Brothers swept this year's awards ceremony! We chuckled at Jon Stewart's jokes, swooned at Best Actress Marion Cotillard's acceptance speech and grew a little teary-eyed at the "dearly departed" montage which ended with Heath Ledger. I blogged about all my thoughts during the ceremony and asked you what you thought of the wins, some of which were easy to predict (Daniel Day-Lewis, duh) while others were surprises (Tilda Swinton!).

Oscar Winners Overjoyed With Awards

PopSugarUK — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 02:00:00 -0800

All the acting winners at the Oscars gave stellar performances in the press room, smiling wide with their new gold arm candy. Actors from our side of the pond gave a cool-Britannia performance on stage, with Helen Mirren mock-knighting Daniel Day-Lewis when she presented him with his award for Best Actor before the pair posed together in the press room along with the other happy winners and presenters. We were excited to see Tilda Swinton also flying the flag for us, with her Best Supporting Actress award. Making up the foursome of happy thespians, Marion Cotillard and Javier Bardem looked super slick and smily with their little gold men.

And The 2009 Fifi Awards For Best Fragrances Goes To . . .

BellaSugarUK — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 04:17:00 -0700

Last night at the Dorchester Hotel in London, celebrities and beauty business fixtures gathered for the 17th Annual Fragrance Foundation UK Awards (better known as "The Fifi's"). The profits from the event were donated to the Teenage Cancer Trust, and in the past few years alone, The Fifi's have raised over £100,000 for the charity.

I was lucky enough to speak with Janine Roxbrough Bunce, the Executive Director of the Fragrance Foundation this morning, who said, "the atmosphere last night was starry and electric. This has become the Oscars of the fragrance industry, and is very important to the world of fragrance. The aim in the future is to get the public more and more involved in the awards and eventually, we'd love to see the masses voting online for their favourite scents."

19 crystal awards were given out in total with two being new to this year. One especially worth mentioning is the Lifetime Achievement Award which went to 82 year old Jean-Paul Guerlain. The winners, (which are scents from 1 Jan - 31 Dec of 2008) didn't necessarily surprise me, however, I felt that a few of my faves have been overlooked. You can check out the winners from last year here and for a full list of this year's winners, and to find out what fragrance Mischa Barton loves and which one Alex Zane was wearing last night, read more.

Mischa Barton revealed last night that one of her favourite fragrances is She Wood by DSquared2, while Alex Zane proudly announced that he was wearing Boss by Hugo Boss.

Brush Up on 2009 Oscar Animal-Related Trivia With This Quiz!

PetSugar — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 07:15:14 -0800

In my opinion, there are never enough furry friends in Oscar-nominated movies, even though one big winner in 2008 included a gruesome dog scene. I took a look at this year's nominated films and nominees, then tried to come up with as many wild facts as I could about the actors and the movies in question. If you think you know a thing or two (or seven) about the 2009 Oscars, take my quiz and see if you really do.

The Results Are In: Your Pick For Biggest Celebrity Douchebag of 2008

GiggleSugar — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 04:00:00 -0800

In what may have been 2008's most predictable race - more predictable, even, than Javier Bardem's Oscar for No Country For Old Men - the results are in for this year's biggest celebrity douchebag poll. The winner, by a stunning margin, is The Hills' Spencer Pratt.

It's nearly impossible to find a photo of Spencer without Heidi. And sadly, this douchebachelor is officially off the market (or not?). Second place, with a still respectable 104 votes, is Criss Angel. Stay tuned for the rest of our Best of 2008 coverage.

Eva, America, Ashley, and Jessica Shine at the Alma Awards

Molly — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 08:30:00 -0700

Last night in Pasadena stars came out to grace the red carpet and stage at the 2008 Alma Awards. Once again, Eva Longoria played host for the night and showed off a few costume changes like she did at last year's awards. Jessica Alba didn't have Cash with her to gaze lovingly like Eva and Tony, but she lit up the red carpet all the same continuing her smiley weekend. America Ferrera took home Entertainer of the Year while Shakira was named Humanitarian of the Year. Zac Efron and Ashley Tisdale were on hand to present a special achievement award to High School Musical 2 director Kenny Ortega. Some of our favorite shows like Ugly Betty, Scrubs, Lost, and How I Met Your Mother were also honored at the event, check out the full list of winners here. The show airs Sept. 12 on ABC.

Sugar Bits - SAG Award Nominees Announced

PopSugar — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 09:33:59 -0800

The nominees for the 2008 Screen Actors Guild awards were announced this morning in LA with Into the Wild and Cate Blanchett leading the pack. Head over to Buzz to check out the full list.
Kate Moss is trying to get a legal injunction to stop Pete Doherty from using their "raunchy" home videos in a TV special that a British channel is paying him $1 million to put together. The program is called "Kate and Pete: A Love Story" and it sounds like we're not the only ones happy that love story is over. - Page Six
The 2008 People's Choice Awards has been canceled due to the writers' strike, and winners will be asked to send in taped acceptance speeches so the network has something to air instead. Hopefully this doesn't mean the Oscars are in danger, too. - BuzzSugar
Ashlee Simpson is apparently upset that the announcement of Jamie Lynn Spears' pregnancy took attention away from the release of her third album and her new video. That probably isn't a spotlight Ashlee should be jealous of. - The Scoop

PopSugar — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 23:17:54 -0700

Nickelodeon hosted the 2008 Kids' Choice Awards on Saturday night, and similar to last year, the big stars - like Will Smith - brought their families for a stroll down the orange carpet. Wannabe Award winner Cameron Diaz, America Ferrera and Ashlee Simpson were just a few of the ladies who got girlie in dresses, while Rihanna and Abigail Breslin went more casual in jeans. Check out Fab's coverage of the ladies' looks, as well as their Love it or Hate it polls. Even Project Runway's Christian Siriano was on hand to watch the fashion parade. Not quite the Oscars red carpet, but it looked like everyone dressed for a fun - or slimy - time.
