Messi the perfect dog made it to the Oscars and is seated like the good boy he is

The absolute best boy thankfully made it to the Oscars.

For two long, long days, it seemed that the public would be deprived of the biggest star of the Oscars at Sunday’s 96th Academy Awards. Reports broke on March 8 that Messi the dog, better known as Snoop in Anatomy of a Fall, would not be allowed to attend after complaints from other studios.

Messi was not only instrumental in the actual plot of Anatomy of a Fall, he perfectly acted in several scenes.

At the Oscar luncheon, stars like Emma Stone were elated to meet the furry supporting actor, so it’s fantastic news that he is, in fact, seated for the Oscars ceremony.

No, literally, the perfect good boy is actually seated.

The absolute best boy.

Who is Robert Downey Jr’s wife? Meet producer Susan Downey

Robert Downey Jr.’s wife Susan is a powerhouse figure in her own right in Hollywood.

Robert Downey Jr. has been making the rounds of the 2024 awards circuit thanks to his unforgettable performance in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. No matter which award ceremony, premiere, or other major event he’s attending, when you see Downey, you’ll usually see his wife Susan right beside him.

So who is Susan Downey? Her long and impressive career in the film industry began long before she met Robert Downey Jr., beginning back in the 1990s.

Born Susan Levin, Downey began her career in the film industry working for blockbuster producer Joel Silver’s production company Dark Castle Entertainment. In the early 2000s, she served as co-producer on several horror and action films, including Ghost Ship, Cradle 2 the Grave, and Gothika, the latter of which co-starred Robert Downey Jr. The two met during the production of the movie and were engaged later that year.

Gothika became the first of many projects the two would collaborate on, including 2005’s Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and 2009’s Sherlock Holmes.

Downey Jr. credits Susan with helping him get his issues with addiction under control and with the subsequent revitalization of his career in the late 2000s.

The couple have two children and will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary in 2025.

Who is Vanessa Hudgens’ husband? Meet MLB hopeful Cole Tucker

Tucker signed a minor-league deal with Seattle.

Actress Vanessa Hudgens arrived to the red carpet ahead of the 2024 Academy Awards, debuting her baby bump and announcing her pregnancy with husband Cole Tucker.

Tucker and Hudgens had met back in 2021 and the couple got married in late 2023 after their engagement in February of that year.

Tucker, who was once considered among the Pirates’ top prospect, has bounced around between the minors and MLB the past few seasons. After one season in the Rockies’ minor league system, Tucker signed a minor-league deal with the Seattle Mariners and reported to spring training in Arizona.

In limited time, he has struggled in spring training — batting just .143 in seven at-bats.

The 27-year-old will likely start the season in Triple-A Tacoma.

Why Oscars stars are wearing red pins on their outfits

Here’s why certain stars at the Oscars are wearing red pins on their outfits for the event.

As the Academy Awards get underway, you may have noticed that certain celebrities and stars are wearing red pins on their outfits this year.

The reasoning? Those red pins are the logo of Artists4Ceasefire — a group of celebrities urging the United States and President Joe Biden to call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war. Almost 400 celebrities — from Andrew Garfield to Florence Pugh and more — have signed the petition, with the band Boygenius having worn the pins on the 2024 Grammys red carpet.

The pin itself holds the image of an outstretched red hand with a black heart in its palm.

Here’s the answer.

Hey, here’s a question you might have: What time is the Oscars on in 2024, with the annual ceremony celebrating the year in film happening on Sunday, March 10?

Great question! Here’s the answer: the Oscars will be on at 7 p.m. ET. And if you’re wondering, yes — that’s earlier than usual.

Who is Amelia Dimoldenberg from Chicken Shop Date, the Oscars red carpet correspondent?

You may have seen one of her funny, awkward exchanges with celebrities in one of many viral videos over the past few years.

Movie fans checking out this year’s Academy Awards may encounter a quirky, blonde Englishwoman interviewing celebrities on the red carpet. If she looks familiar, it’s probably because you’ve seen one of her funny, awkward exchanges with celebrities in one of many viral videos over the past few years.

Amelia Dimoldenberg, this year’s official Oscars Red Carpet Correspondent, went from obscure internet creator to red carpet staple in recent years thanks to her popular YouTube series Chicken Shop Date. The series features Dimoldenberg interviewing various celebrities, usually musicians, in the form of an awkward first date at a fast food restaurant. Dimoldenberg earned praise for her unique and funny interview style, which tended to catch even the coolest celebrities off guard without making them uncomfortable.

Dimoldenberg’s chemistry with her interview subjects led to her landing red carpet interviewing gigs, notably at the 2022 GQ Man of the Year event where her flirtatious exchange with Andrew Garfield became a social media sensation.

Dimoldenberg and her awkward first-date antics have become a fun addition to the typically stiff and trite red carpet interview world and you can expect to see at least a few fun and spontaneous moments emerge from her during the pre-Oscars festivities this year.

Why Wes Anderson could win his first Oscar this year (in an unlikely category)

Wes Anderson might finally win an Oscar this year, but not for one of his feature-length films.

Wes Anderson is one of the most celebrated filmmakers of his generation, but he’s never been able to take home an Academy Award.

Anderson has been nominated seven times in the past without any wins, but his eighth nomination might give the auteur his first Oscar.

His 2023 film Asteroid City did not receive a nomination this year, but another one of his 2023 projects earned him a nomination from the Academy this winter.

In a four-set of short films for Netflix, Anderson’s Roald Dahl adaptation The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar earned a nomination in the Best Live-Action Short category at this year’s Oscars.

It’s the frontrunner to win the award at present, which would give Anderson the first Oscar in his career. It’s an unlikely category for Anderson’s first victory, but it’d be incredibly deserving all the same.

5 Oscar takeaways from the 2024 SAG Awards, including why Oppenheimer has all the momentum

Here are five Oscar takeaways from Saturday night’s SAG Awards.

Saturday night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards recognized plenty of talented and deserving actors with honors, but it also helped us get as definitive a look at the 2024 Oscar race as we’ve gotten so far.

The Academy Awards are in two weeks, and everything points to Christopher Nolan’s historical epic Oppenheimer winning plenty of trophies for the evening.

The film won three of the five major film awards, including best cast, best lead actor for Cillian Murphy and best supporting actor for Robert Downey Jr. It’s feeling more and more like it’s the film to beat at the moment in multiple categories.

We’ve gathered five key takeaways for the 2024 Oscars, including where we really don’t have a clear winner settled in the acting categories.
