Completely ignoring the verbal attack and physical threats Etta unleashed when B sang "At Last" at Obama's Inauguration, Knowles busted out the song AGAIN during last night's Oscar telecast -- as the most dramatic moment of an absolutely horrendous musical number.

B had to know it'd make James pissed, so we gotta ask ...

Seacrest & "Slumdog" -- Lost in Translation

Ryan Seacrest just interviewed the kids from "Slumdog Millionaire." It might have gone a little better if he prepped himself on their names first ... and knew they didn't all speak English.

After losing out so many times, we're guessing it's more of a bore than an honor to be nominated.

And the Winner Isn't ...

There's a reputed leaked memo circulating online revealing the winners of tomorrow's Oscar ceremony. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences tells TMZ it's bogus.

Read the docs!

The memo gives Academy officers a heads up on the winners, but officials say no such memo exists.

Some of the winners seem pretty obvious to us and some don't. It will be interesting to see if the list ends up nailing it.

Stay tuned ...
