The Oscars

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

This Oscar Sunday, don't keep your comments to yourself. From the second the stars show up, TMZ is going interactive.

If you see something on Oscar Sunday that's "TMZ Worthy," don't be stingy -- pass your ideas on what they wear, how they act and how stupid the reporters are -- and it could make the front page of TMZ.com.

At 5 PM ET we're going live with your comments. All you have to do is click on the box in the right rail that says "Spank the Academy." At 5P ET you'll see a form where you can comment away!

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 ...

Matilda would reportedly get the Oscar when she turns 18. Kim said they would gladly hold onto it until then.

Coolest guy ever.

The Photoshop-free 33-year-old looked so hot (and blonde and tan) she didn't even need a coat while out on the streets of Manhattan last night.

As we reported this weekend, Cody agreed to waltz down the red carpet in the pricey kicks. What she didn't agree to was having her name used as a publicity stunt for the shoe company -- as if! She honest to blogged about the whole thing and, true to her word, rocked a pair of gold flats at last night's event.

At a press conference last night Diablo said, "If I had a million dollars I would help people."

Suck it Stuart!

Hudson was in her hometown yesterday as Mayor Richard Daley proclaimed it Jennifer Hudson Day. When Hudson broke into song, she looked to the crowd to sing along with her. "Y'all want to help me out?" she asked. Apparently the answer was "No."

With her killer resume packed with hit movies like "Naked Gun 33 1/3," "To the Limit" and of course, the cult classic "Wasabi Tuna," it was a complete shock when the late Anna Nicole Smith turned up missing from Oscar's annual morgue montage.

According to reps from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, a final version of the deceased reel is cut and approved by Febuary 1, and there's only room for about 25 people (last year, more than 130 bought tickets to the big movie theatre in the sky). But what if, god forbid, Tom Hanks or Steven Spielberg had kicked the bucket last week -- would they have made the clip reel?

Guess we'll have to tune in again next year to see if Anna makes the cut!

The hotbod actress spent a few days in her bathing suit, prancing around paradise pre-awards night with pal Drew Barrymore to celebrate Drew's 32nd Birthday.

She should have worn this bikini to the Oscars instead of what she did wear -- that unraveling roll of origami toilet paper from the Shanghai Hilton.

Jennifer Hudson, who finished in seventh place during the third season of "Idol," found better success at last night's Oscars when she took home the award for Best Supporting Actress. But if Simon Cowell was expecting some kind of shoutout, he'd have to go to Oscar.com to get it.

Hudson didn't thank "Idol" during the telecast, but did manage to squeeze in a nod on the Oscar website's "Thank You Cam," and then only after being reminded by someone off camera. Jennifer said, "Who else? Who else? Who else?" as she tried to remember who she forgot to thank, when an unseen woman mentioned "Idol."

"You know what? For every trial, and every tribulation, yes, 'Idol' is included in that." Hudson said in a seemingly begrudged afterthought.

Alexander, famous for putting the stars' faces on the bags they carry, was commisioned to create the swanky bag for the nominees -- and it's emblazoned with images from the most memorable movies of the year.

The sack retails for a colossal $2500! Whatever the Oscar outcome, this is still a nice prize.

How's Chris Daughtry doing since his album release? --Sara

Chris Daughtry and his band are seeing nothing but success since their record hit stores last November. In fact, Sara, their self-titled album shot to number one last week, selling nearly 1.3 million copies. A lot of those sales can be attributed to their hit single, "It's Not Over." The band's concerts are sold out all of next week, but if you're on the West coast, click here to see some more Daughtry dates mid-February.

The normally hyper-eyelashed icon looked like she was ditching the cabaret stage for a skatepark when she showed up at LAX on Wednesday, sans makeup and showing off her skater gear. Rad.
