She was the first woman to host the event, the first African American to host, the first Oscar winner to host, and the second African American woman to even win an Oscar, one of just four black female winners in the event's 80 year history. She was shown accepting her award in the Oscar clip montages at last night's Academy Awards, but wasn't shown during one of her many hosting gigs.

They didn't show her walking all the way to the front of the room from the specially designated table for her and her guest at the very back. She won in 1939 for her hackneyed role as Mammy in Gone with the Wind. It was a whole 50 years before another black woman took home a statue, and that was Whoopi. Halle Berry was of course shown giving her weepy over-the-top Oscar acceptance speech for best actress in 2001. She was the third African American woman to win an Oscar, and was followed by Jennifer Hudson for best supporting actress in 2006.

Let's be honest: the best part of awards shows are all the little bits of gossip you hear afterwards. Like Jon Stewart was actually drunk as a skunk during the whole ceremony last night. Or Jack Nicholson and Javier Bardem got in a fistfight, and Javier sat on Jack's head. Okay none of those things actually happened, but how much would it rock if they didS Well a little bit of juicy gossip that does appear to be true: it seems Sean Penn and Petra Nemcova are hooking up.

Newly single Sean Penn and supermodel Petra Nemcova slipped out of LA's Villa nightclub at 3:10 a.m. this morning?clearly Hollywood's hottest new item.

The pair followed up an appearance at a CAA event two days ago with a full-on assault of coupledom tonight at Elton John's Oscar Party (above). Sean, 47, and Petra, 28, posed on the red carpet at the singer's AIDS Foundation fete and danced to his many hits before heading to Villa.

Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston were finally gonna be in the same room on the same night, but it didn't happen. Angie, Brad and Jen were all supposed to attend a pre-Oscar party on Saturday but Brangelina never showed up.

Earlier in the day, they did go to the Independent Spirit Awards where Angelina showed off her baby bump. She probably set it up that way to distract people from the fact that she wasn't going to go to the party.
The Razorlight front man - who was recently linked to "Harry Potter" actress Emma Watson and previously dated Kirsten Dunst - is said to be smitten with the gorgeous Australian singer after meeting at a recent party.

A source said: "Johnny was instantly attracted to Natalie. He told her he was a huge fan and suggested they meet to discuss working together in the future."

"He gave her his phone number and whispered that he would love to see her again."

Since the party on Valentine's Day (February 14, 2008), Johnny and Natalie have spent hours talking on the phone.

The source added: "There is definitely chemistry between them."

Natalie, 33, has been single since splitting from husband Daniel Johns last year.
Usually we do separate best and worst dressed post for the Oscars, but there wasn't any truly atrocious fashion among the big names, and that's a disappointment. Like the ceremony itself, the red carpet seemed to go off without a hitch with a few minor bumps. Everyone looked lovely, with no one really nailing it or or failing miserably. There's been criticism that the actresses are playing it too safe on the red carpet, and it's true that there wasn't anyone to point in awe or laugh at.

If you just look at Renee Zellweger's dress and not her hair (I'm trying to be nice here) it was amazing. Her beaded gown was incredible, and she usually plays it too safe in Carolina Herrerra, but this time the designer really came through for her. Hilary Swank looked flawless, and maybe that's because when I saw her close up during her interviews her makeup was perfect. Her dress also was a good balance between simple lines a and a moderate risk, but both MSat and Jaybird told me she looked boring. Read the rest of this entry »
For the first time ever, George Clooney brought a girlfriend to the Oscars. As the two moved slowly down the red carpet Sunday night, the 46-year-old actor kept his hand on the small of Sarah Larson's back, rubbing her reassuringly as he talked to the press.

And the Michael Clayton star ? who was up for Best Actor ? was full of praise for his 28-year-old date, who looked radiant in a clingy floral Valentino gown.

"She looks good, huhS" he said on the red carpet. He jokingly added, "I tried it on first and it looked terrible on me."

When she noted that the dress was "really heavy," he gallantly volunteered, "I will carry her."
Hollywood's brightest stars - including Dame Helen Mirren Heidi Klum and Katherine Heigl - painted the night red at this year's Oscars.

Project Runway host Heidi Klum lead the way with a dramatic entrance at the Kodak Theatre in a custom-made John Galliano gown.

W magazine fashion market editor Treena Lombardo: "Heidi Klum was the most beautiful I've ever seen her."
