Confirmed: Robert Pattinson, “Twilight” star to present award at the Oscars this Sunday…

Look like all the “Twilight” fans will be tuning in to the Oscars this Sunday, just to see Robert Pattison present an award at this Sunday’s Academy awards. While the Academy is doing their best to keep award presenters top secret, it is still not stopping other websites to confirm award presenters. This article confirmed that the Edward Cullen star will indeed be there to present some kind of award  but it’s not known what award he will present.

Rumours swirling, that Kristen Stewart may be there too.

More on it here:

I can see him presenting an award for “Best Animated Film”, or for “Best Song” or something like that.

The Oscars will be good this Sunday.

Poll: Will John Travolta present an award at the Oscars this Sunday?

The Oscars is this Sunday folks. Since the Oscars is keeping award presenters top secret this year, you have to wonder that the reason they are keeping it a secret ’cause John Travolta may possibly be there.

What do you think? Think he’ll be there to present something?

I think he’ll be there. 🙂

Oscar history #14: Angelina Jolie wins for Best Supporting Actress for “Girl, Interupted”…

Angelina Jolie’s first Oscar award winning for her supporting role as Lisa Rowe, in the movie, “Girl, Interupted”. It is another one of my favorite movies of all times. The quality of this video isn’t very good but it’s the only one I could find in youtube of Angie winning an Oscar for the first time. You can still hear it and see it though.

Oscar history #9: Mitch and Mickey perform, “A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow”, from the “A Mighty Wind” soundtrack at the Oscars…

Actors Eugene Levy and Catherine O’ Hara playing their fictional characters Mitch and Mickey from the film, “A Mighty Wind”, a film by Christopher Guest. The song, “A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow” got nominated, I believe, in the year 2004.

Enjoy this hilarious performance:
