Oscars 2015: Will Arnett Was Wearing Val Kilmer's Batsuit (Really)

Posted:

87th Annual Academy Awards - ShowOne of the more enjoyable surprises during the incredible "Everything Is Awesome" performance at the Oscars (quick question though: how was there not confetti canons of some kind?) was when Will Arnett showed up as the Dark Knight himself to do a bit of his Batman song from "The Lego Movie." It was hilarious and insane and it actually had a bit of history behind it.

As "The Lego Movie" co-director Chris Miller tweeted shortly after the performance, Arnett was wearing the Batsuit worn by Val Kilmer in "Batman Forever." And this is 100% true. It was almost unnoticeable, though, because Arnett's performance (with an assist from Questlove) went by so fast and because his suit was augmented by a Lego bat logo.

The Oscar Performance of 'Everything Is Awesome' Is Our Everything (VIDEO)

'The Oscars': Tegan and Sara Perform
The Oscars hit a high note pretty early on in the evening with a starry performance of "Everything Is Awesome" that both brought the house down and went a long way in explaining why the Academy didn't actually nominate "The Lego Movie" for Best Animated Feature (it still stings!)

As introduced by Marion Cotillard (side note: who made this decision and does Marion actually know what a Lego is?), the performance of Best Original Song nominee "Everything Is Awesome" featured, in no particular order, pop stars Tegan and Sara (looking insanely adorable), the goofballs from The Lonely Island (including a wily Andy Samberg), Will Arnett doing a bit of his Batman song, Questlove on drums, and Devo member Mark Mothersbaugh (wearing a Lego-fied version of the famous Devo hat). There were dancers, Oscar versions of Oscars, handed out to Channing Tatum and Steve Carell, and a zany, WTF-worthy energy.

The performance captured the spirit and craziness of "The Lego Movie" and it's overwhelming, out-of-control cuteness of the movie itself and the uncomfortable silence in the auditorium that followed was a clear tip-off to why the movie wasn't nominated for the coveted Best Animated Feature Oscar. Oh well. Everything is awesome, especially if Questlove is there.

Oscars 2015: Best Supporting Actress Winner Is Patricia Arquette

Best Supporting Actress Patricia Arquette
And the winner for Best Supporting Actress is Patricia Arquette for "Boyhood."

The Oscars 2015 Best Supporting Actress may not have been one of the hotter contested awards of the season, but it's anyone's race come the big night. The five nominees for the Academy Award were Meryl Streep for "Into the Woods," Keira Knightley for "The Imitation Game," Patricia Arquette for "Boyhood," Emma Stone for "Birdman," and Laura Dern for "Wild."

Going into the Academy Awards this year, the Arquette had won the Golden Globe, SAG, BAFTA, and many more awards for her performance, making the veteran actress the clear favorite on Oscar night. Emma Stone was the dark horse in the race, earning rave reviews for her performance as a troubled daughter opposite Michael Keaton in "Birdman," but ultimately Arquette's career-defining role won out.

Arquette was nominated for her role in Richard Linklater's "Boyhood," a somewhat experimental film that was shot over the course of 12 years. The film fictitiously chronicled the childhood and adolescence of a young boy growing up in Texas, Arquette playing the brave and sometimes troubled mother. It was the first Oscar nomination for Arquette and first win.

Oscars 2015 Opening Number: Watch Neil Patrick Harris, Anna Kendrick, Jack Black (VIDEO)

'The Oscars': Opening Number from the 2015 Academy Awards
Welcome to the 87th Annual Academy Awards -- as host Neil Patrick Harris put it, within seconds of the show's launch: "Tonight we honor Hollywood's best and whitest, I'm sorry, brightest." Too true!

NPH continued, quickly moving into his big musical opening number, "Check out this place. Check out everything..." The classic Oscars opener honored moving pictures, including a duet with "Into the Woods" star Anna Kendrick and an interruption from Jack Black, who rose from the audience to yell-sing at them.

It was a very old-school opening, in the best of ways, focusing on what the Oscars are supposed to be about -- celebrating movies and why we love them -- while also giving fans the class, humor and Ben & Matt shout-outs they'd expect from NPH.

Weekend Box Office: 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Dominates for a Second Week

Posted:


LOS ANGELES (AP) - "Fifty Shades of Grey" didn't relinquish control of the box office.

Universal's erotic drama earned $22.2 million at No. 1 in its second weekend at the box office, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The spy film "Kingsman: The Secret Service" and the family friendly "The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water" similarly maintained the No. 2 and No. 3 spots at the box office in their second weekend.

Fox's "Kingsman" nabbed $17.5 million, while Paramount's "SpongeBob" soaked up another $15.5 million.

A trio of newcomers failed to crack the top three.

Disney's "McFarland, USA" opened at No. 4 with $11.3 million. Lionsgate's "The DUFF" debuted at No. 5 with $11 million. Paramount's "Hot Tube Time Machine 2" flopped at No. 7 with $5.8 million.
