Any other suggestions?

How 'bout:

Most boring speech (I HATE when they read it----the "from the heart" are SO much better!)

Most graceful fall (Jennifer Lawrence----LOL----poor kid!)

The worst dressed / worst hair can just always go to Helena Bonham Carter, whenever she's there. I saw her in a movie, recently, and almost fell off my couch, at how beautiful she was. Who would've known, with the way she appears, IRL?

The worst mispronounced name (John Travolta - LOL - WHAT was he thinking? ESPECIALLY since, I'm SURE, Idina's name was on the Tele-prompter.)

Worst Host / Best Host - The worst, IMO, is whomever co-hosted with Anne Hathaway; the best, probably, is either Billy Crystal, or Ellen Degeneres----I'm gonna go with Billy.....

Oh, what about.....

Best Wardrobe Malfunction ('course, it would be the WORST, to whomever it happened).

Correct me if I'm wrong....but I do believe that George C. Scott was the only Best Actor winner who refused to show up for the Oscars AND never took possession of the Oscar awarded to him.

Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, and George C. Scott were all married five times.

Didn't Marlon Brando send a Native American woman to refuse his Oscar?

Didn't she read a speech explaining that Mr Brando was refusing the Oscar because of the mistreatment of her people?

Guess what I just found on the Internet?

"Open letter to Elisabeth Taylor

You have done enough harm to great men like Burton Todd Wilding etc.

Why don't you swollow your diamonds and shut up

M.Dietrich"

The spelling and punctuation is an accurate copy of the note....

It is, of course, supposedly a note from Marlene Dietrich to Elizabeth Taylor.

I found it on a blog titled 'Opera Queen'

"Some Like It Hot"

Tony Curtis couldn't sustain the high-pitched voice required for Josephine, so much of his lines as a lady were dubbed by Paul Frees.

Buddy Ebson was originally cast as the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz. Unfortunately, Jack Dawn the makeup artist, blew aluminium dust onto Buddy's skin after an adhesive had been applied to it to get the proper metallic look. Buddy inhaled some of the aluminium into his lungs and almost died. Jack Haley was hired to replace him, and the makeup was changed to an aluminium paste that was applied very carefully.

Buddy never sued MGM because back in the 30's Hollywood it would have ended his career.

Certain people claim Walt Disney was anti-semitic. In reality, the Sherman brothers who wrote some of the classic songs, such as those for 'Mary Poppins', were jewish and close friends with Walt.

Famous Directors who never got the Oscar for Best Director.
Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Howard Hawks, Robert Altman, and Sidney Lumet.

The original choice to play Mrs. Robinson in 'The Graduate' was Ava Gardner....

Wouldn't she have been magnificent?

There is a statue of Ava Gardner in Tossa de Mar, Spain.

She (Ava Gardner ) was the love of Frank Sinatra's life.

When he married Mia Farrow, Ava said "Ha! I always knew that Frank would end up with a boy!"

His widow, Barbara, hated all of his exes.

Frank Sinatra starred in "The Man With The Golden Arm", he supposedly jumped at a chance to star in the film before reading the entire script and spent time at drug rehabilitation clinics observing addicts going cold turkey to prepare for the role. The script was given to Marlon Brando around the same time as Sinatra, who still harboured some anger at Brando, since the latter had beaten Sinatra for the lead role in On the Waterfront.

Sinatra in 'On The Waterfront'?

Oh, please.
