F-bomb!

Danielday300Finally!

In the waning moments of the Oscars -- eyelids drooping, head nodding -- Daniel Day-Lewis tells the assembled surly reporter masses backstage that it's none of our f---ing business what he does in his spare time, you know, to relax and unwind after those immersive roles.

So there.

As much as we'd all like to know, nobody's about to go back into that territory right now.

Milkshake phenom? Yes, Day-Lewis knows about it and thinks it's a hoot. Other tidbits: He has man crushes on George Clooney and Paul Thomas Anderson, and he doesn't finish with his characters, they finish with him.

And with that, we're finished for the night. (Reuters photo)

I bet you wish he had a crush on you. The guy is the greatest film actor in the world today. Who are you?

Hey Leo, take a chill pill. Diablo Cody has one waiting for you.

Who doesn't wish DDL had a crush on them?

I love him but his speech was kind of...British.

Oscar Contenders

  • So "The Dark Knight" didn't make it into the final five after all, never mind that critical and popular support. Let's just call the comic-inspired mega-hit "The Biggest Snubee."

    Here are the best picture contenders in a race that, two weeks away from the Oscars, seems to be a foregone conclusion ("Slumdog") unless there's a come-from-behind possibility ("The Reader" anyone?)

    "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett; the politically timely "Milk;" rags-to-riches fairy tale, "Slumdog Millionaire," Holocaust best-seller-based drama "The Reader," and Watergate-era biopic "Frost/Nixon."

    Could "Button" and "Slumdog" split the vote, allowing another film to take the prize? Doesn't seem likely. After having clung to "Button" for months as what we thought would be the Academy voters' top vhoice, our money's now on "Slumdog." Momentum can't be ignored.

    Watch this blog for updates, ephemera and all manner of postulating.

  • Mmmmm, chocolate Oscar. Not every star will walk away from the 81st annual Academy Awards with a trophy, but if they hit the high-profile Governor's Ball they can have pastry chef Sherry Yard's gold-dusted candy version. Also on the menu from celeb chef Wolfgang Puck is tuna tartare in sesame miso cones, chopped Chino Farms vegetable salad with ginger soy vinaigrette, Maine lobster and caviar. Serve it up!
