EXCLUSIVE Backstage Oscar Dish

(Oscars)

MC has your backstage Oscar dish.

Check out what you didn’t see on the show!

Melissa Leo (Best Supporting Actress - The Fighter) apologized for dropping an f-bomb during her acceptance speech, saying, it was “a very inappropriate place to use (those words)… I apologize to anyone that they offend.”

Leo was told in the press room backstage that she was the first person in the history of the Academy Awards to drop an f-bomb during the telecast.

Oops!

Leo’s co-star Christian Bale (Best Supporting Actor –The Fighter) was at the bar with Dicky Eklund – the real-life boxer he portrayed – and missed his Leo’s f-bombed acceptance speech. Bale said he was pounding on the door, “and they wouldn’t let us in.”

On the subject of f-bombs…

David Seidler (Best Original Screenplay - The King’s Speech) said he was glad Queen Elizabeth didn’t put him in the Tower of London for putting the f-bomb in her father’s mouth.

Aaron Sorkin (Best Adapted Screenplay – The Social Network) said backstage, “Tonight I’m going to enjoy this; tomorrow I’m going to start something new.” Sorkin also noted Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has been a “good sport” about the film.

A less good sport was one of the Oscar-winning editors of The Social Network, who was backstage when he heard The King’s Speech won for Best Director…. and booed!

On a lighter note…

Natalie Portman revealed her baby was kicking “a lot” during the song portion of the evening – leading her to conclude that s/he will definitely be a dancer! So will she be naming her child Oscar? “Definitely out of the question,” she said while laughing.

Speaking of dancing, Colin Firth kidded that his invite to the royal wedding “must be lost in the post,” and said, “I’ll be tracing it soon.” When asked what he thought about the new PG-13 cut of The King’s Speech, he said, “I am against it… I think the film has its integrity as it stands.”

Helena Bonham Carter was the epitome of a well-mannered Brit when dealing with press. When tired of a reporter’s questions backstage, she simply pointed to her bracelet, which had a tiny hour glass on it, and said demurely, “time is up.”

And so is ours…

Stars React to Their Oscar Nominations

Natalie Portman (Best Actress, Black Swan): “I am so honored and grateful to the Academy for this recognition.  It is a wonderful culmination of the ten-year journey with Darren to make this film.  Making “Black Swan” is already the most meaningful experience of my career, and the passion shown for the film has completed the process of communication between artists and audience.  I am so thankful for the support we have received and I share this honor with the entire cast and crew of the film, especially Darren Aronofsky.

Jeremy Renner (Best Supporting Actor, The Town): “I had a really hard time sleeping last night – for several reasons, but knowing this thing was happening in the morning is really nervewracking. You never can tell. I certainly knew it was a flashy role. It was electric on the page. But there’s so many things that can go wrong when making a film, who knows what it will turn out to be. And it certainly pulled together a fantastic film and I’m happy to be a part of it.”

Nicole Kidman (Best Actress, Rabbit Hole): ”What an extraordinary journey this film has taken me on! ‘Rabbit Hole’ has been a labor of love and I’m so thankful to John Cameron Mitchell, David Lindsay-Abaire and the brilliant cast. This nomination reflects all of the heart and soul that these people have put into it and I can’t thank them enough.”

James Franco (Best Actor, 127 Hours): ”I feel great… It’s a big honor.”

Mark Wahlberg (actor/producer, The Fighter): “It has been such an incredible journey with The Fighter and one that I am grateful to share with David O. Russell, Christian, Melissa, Amy, my fellow producers and the Ward and Eklund families, who are the heart and soul of the film. Thank you to the Academy for this tremendous honor.”

Mark Ruffalo (Best Supporting Actor, The Kids Are All Right): “I had no idea they were announcing today. I swear! I was totally taken by surprise. I just dropped the kids off at carpool. I was about five minutes from the school with a car full of kids. With so many kids, I didn’t even realize it was today. I’m glad I forgot about it. It’s made it all the more — I don’t know, just sweet and poignant and unexpected, you know?”

Darren Aronofsky (Best Director, Black Swan): “It’s very insane. It’s beyond all our expectations. You don’t go in with expectations, especially when you are making a film that’s scary and psychological and not common. I’m really happy that the Academy is recognizing this kind of movie, it’s very exciting.

Aaron Sorkin (Best Adapted Screenplay, The Social Network): ”I think that what resonated is that it’s not a timely story, I think what resonated is that it is a timeless story, one with themes as old as storytelling itself: of friendship and loyalty, of betrayal, power, class, jealousy. These are things that Aeschylus would have written about or Shakespeare would have written about. And it’s just lucky for me that neither of those guys were available so I got to write about it.”

Geoffrey Rush (Best Supporting Actor, The King’s Speech): ”As an Australian, I’m as excited to be recognized and honored by the Academy as my character must have been when his London speech-therapy business flourished when the future king of England happened to pop by one day.”

Oscar Nominations: Who Do You Think Got Snubbed?

(GettyImages.com)

This year’s Oscar nominations were announced this morning, and while the Academy recognized a lot of great work, there were more than a few snubs.

Michelle Williams received a nod for her role in Blue Valentine (a Best Actress nomination), but co-star Ryan Gosling was overlooked.

The Social Network stars Andrew Garfield and Justin Timberlake were both left out of the Best Supporting Actor category.

Similarly, Mila Kunis (Black Swan), Julianne Moore (The Kids Are All Right) and Mark Wahlberg (The Fighter) were also passed over.

And, while Christopher Nolan was nominated for Best Original Screenplay and Inception was given a nod for Best Picture, Nolan was left out of the Best Director category.

Who else do you think got snubbed?
