Jennifer Lawrence at the Oscars

.

Those of you who actually read the Coltons Point Times rather than just look at the pictures know we are quite proud of the girl from Kentucky who captured the hearts of Hollywood and won an Oscar last year while falling up the stairs on the way to her acceptance speech.

Well that is the only mistake Jennifer has made in her stunning career until the recent Oscars when she presented the award for Best Actor.  It was strange that someone who never makes mistakes was caught talking when the cameras cut to her for the presentation.  We knew there had to be a good explanation to why she seemed off guard.

Here it is...

The Real Reason Why Jennifer Lawrence's Best Actor Presentation was Interrupted

by Maura Brannigan

Jennifer Lawrence seemed a bit distracted when she took the stage at Sunday's Oscars to present the Best Actor trophy-though coming off her cool-girl track record, we didn't even bat a lash. As JLaw sauntered onstage in that extraordinary crimson Dior gown, she approached the stage and joked to the audience, "Is this funny?"

As it turns out, the American Hustle actress was fending off Ellen DeGeneres, who cautiously withdrew from the podium in preparation for another onstage tumble, à la JLaw's dramatic Best Actress nosedive last year. While most of us didn't catch Ellen's jest, Jared Leto, Matthew McConaughey and the rest of the front-row clearly found it hilarious.

This is essentially the ultimate inside joke to end all inside jokes. Just when we started to feel at one with Hollywood's biggest and brightest stars thanks to that Stars-They're Just Like Us!-style Oscars pizza party, we're subtly reminded that, no, we're not exactly part of their crew. But at least we'll always have JLaw.

Oscar Gold - The Winners Are???

-



Today the Oscar nominations were announced and there were a few surprises but not many. Since picking the winners, in other words reading the minds of the Academy voters, is an inexact science I have decided to make it even harder because I will be the first member of the entertainment media to pick the winners without seeing a single nominated movie.





The interesting nominations, the movies Avatar directed by James Cameron and The Hurt Locker directed by Kathryn Bieglow pits an ex-husband and wife, Cameron and Bieglow against each other. One was a $200 million blockbuster and the other an independent costing a few million.



Here are my picks:
