The Trump Administration endured a few jabs during last night's Oscars, but they're not taking it lying down ... in fact, they made up their own award to hand out.

In a post Monday on X, the White House wrote, "And the Academy Award goes to... the Democrats. For yet ANOTHER PERFORMATIVE SHUTDOWN -- putting political theater over the American people. Fund @DHSgov!"

The message captioned an edited picture of an Oscar statuette wearing a sombrero.

Hudson Williams made his Oscars debut on Sunday, looking hot ... and he's giving fans a glimpse into how he got ready for his red carpet and after-party looks.

He took Vanity Fair inside his hotel room at the Loews in Hollywood, where he was getting all dolled up.

HW's girlfriend Katelyn Larson looked on as stylist Anastasia Walker walked through his "classic, not boring" carpet look -- an all-black Balenciaga suit with a Bulgari brooch and serpentine watch.

But he opted for something "slutty" for the Vanity Fair after-party -- a pleated, sheer top and Louboutin shoes.

"Back to the Future" actor Matt Clark has passed away ... but he got to connect with Michael J. Fox for one more time-traveling chat, TMZ has learned.

We broke the news ... Clark, whose illustrious film and TV resume goes back decades, including 'BTTF: Part III,' died in his Texas home on Sunday. He was 89.

A source with knowledge tells TMZ ... Clark was a part of the big “Back to the Future” reunion at the Dallas Fan Expo last year in Texas for the film's 40th anniversary ... and while there, he and MJF chopped it up backstage. Clark was also part of the cast Q&A.

Sebastian Stan and Annabelle Wallis are expecting their first child together, TMZ has learned!!!

We're told the two actors -- who have been together for about four years -- are gearing up to welcome a baby, though details like the due date and gender of the child are still under wraps.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences knows people are pissed about perceived snubs during last night's Oscars in memoriam ... but there's nothing cold-hearted about it, TMZ is told.

A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ ... the Academy receives hundreds of requests to include loved ones and industry colleagues for the show's in memoriam segment. Through those, an executive committee representing every branch considers the list ... and makes recommendations for the telecast based on the limited run of show time. All the submissions are included on Oscars.org -- and remain there for the year.

As we reported ... there was some serious backlash online after Eric Dane and James Van Der Beek, among a few others, were omitted from the segment ... with people asking how these snubs seem to happen year after year.

Joe Burrow hit up a swanky Oscars party, and it looks like he's got some leading ladies of his own ... because he left the gathering with a trio of hotties ... Alix Earle, Stassie Karanikolaou, and Tate McRae.

Check out these photos of the Cincinnati Bengals star QB Sunday night at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art ... Alix, Stassie and Tate were by his side as they piled into an SUV and left the joint.

Joe burrowed his face in his hand as he rode shotgun ... while the trio of babes grinned from the back seat. Chin up, Joe, that's quite the entourage you've got there!!!

Zach Braff's 2023 film, "A Good Person," deals heavily with the subject of addiction ... and he told Dax Shepard he's had his own struggles in the past.

During an interview on Dax's "Armchair Expert" podcast, Zach admitted he used to have a complicated relationship with alcohol ... which he was eager to change.

He said, "I definitely have had binge-drinking problems in my life. My problem with alcohol was never, 'Oh, I wanna drink at noon,' ever. So I rationalized that just drinking a f***-ton on a Saturday night until you blacked out wasn't an alcohol problem."

Misty Copeland is proving that people do, in fact, care about ballet ... taking the stage on Sunday during the Oscars performance of "I Lied to You," from "Sinners."

Timothée Chalamet -- who found himself in hot water after saying "no one cares" about ballet -- watched from the front row as Misty donned her pointe shoes and hit her marks for the song's big finale.

The ballerina joined a star-studded lineup -- led by Miles Caton and Raphael Saadiq -- that included artists like Shaboozey, Brittany Howard and Buddy Guy.

Jane Fonda seemed to shade Barbra Streisand's touching tribute to Robert Redford at this year's Oscars.

At the event last night, she told Entertainment Tonight ... "I want to know how come Streisand was up there doing that for Redford."

The "Grace and Frankie" star apparently felt she was a better choice to do the in memoriam segment honoring Redford, adding ... "She only made one movie with him. I made four. I had more to say."

Tate McRae and Alix Earle may not be movie stars, but their star power landed them at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party, and they were lookin' RED HOT!

The question here is: Who'd You Rather?!

After you've chosen your leading lady, put your Vanity Fair Oscars Party trivia to the test:

Nothing was keeping Teyana Taylor down last night! We caught up with the actress right after her tense confrontation with Oscars security ... and she was determined not to let it ruin her night.

Teyana downplayed the interaction, saying, "Security was just doing a lot ... There's always that one."

ICYMI ... moments after joining her "One Battle After Another" cast onstage to accept their Best Picture statuettes, Taylor was stopped by a security guard who put his hands on her.

The 2026 Oscars were dripping in glitz and glamour while the cameras were rolling ... but once everyone cleared out, the aftermath told a very different story!

Take a look at this photo from Sunday night from inside the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood -- rows of empty chairs surrounded by what can only be described as a mini disaster zone ... food boxes, water bottles and random bits of trash scattered across the floor.

"Heated Rivalry" star Connor Storrie’s been skating through a pretty wild few months ... and one perk of his sudden stardom seems to be gliding into some A-list company!

Check out this fan-captured clip ... Connor was spotted leaving the Oscars Sunday night in L.A. alongside Aussie singer Troye Sivan ... both looking super casual and, at one point, even on their phones at the exact same time.

It looked like the two were trying to locate their rides ... though it also seems like they may’ve just struck up a new friendship while rubbing shoulders on Hollywood’s biggest night.

Horror absolutely slayed on Oscars night ... and Best Supporting Actress winner Amy Madigan is clearly loving the screams!

We caught up with Amy outside Craig's in L.A. after the ceremony Sunday ... and when we asked the "Weapons" star what it’s like to scare the s*** outta audiences, she totally lit up.

Check out the video for the full reaction -- and peep the "Weapon" she had in hand on the way to the car ... that shiny new Oscar🙌.

Ryan Coogler and Paul Thomas Anderson dominated the night at the Oscars Sunday night, but any competition between them was clearly friendly ... we got the directors celebrating their success together right after the show.

Watch the video ... as Ryan was leaving the West Hollywood hotspot Craig's, PTA appeared to be entering. You can see them embrace as soon as they spot each other, showing tremendous mutual respect.

As you know ... Coogler won Best Screenplay for "Sinners" ... while PTA won Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Director for "One Battle After Another."

Sean Penn scored his third Oscar win Sunday night, earning Best Supporting Actor for his role in “One Battle After Another” … but wasn’t actually there to take home the trophy, and now we've found out why.

During Sunday’s broadcast, Kieran Culkin -- who was presenting the Best Supporting Actor category -- accepted the award on behalf of the absent actor, saying that SP “couldn’t be here this evening ... or didn’t want to.”

Turns out Penn skipped the ceremony because he’s in Ukraine ... Mykola Serha, founder of Cultural Forces -- a collective of Ukrainian service members associated with the arts -- told The Associated Press.
