Ahhhh yes! One of the biggest events of the season. Fresh on the heels of Fashion Week. The 81st Annual Academy Awards brings out the A-listers.
The highlight of the night had to be Ben Stiller mocking Joaquin Phoenix. While announcing an award for cinematography, Stiller came out looking like the Grizzly Adams with a full beard and shaggy hair. He then stuck gum on the Oscar podium making fun of Joaquin’s disastrous interview on David Letterman a few weeks ago.
