Two filmmakers have sued Harvey and Bob Weinstein's studio for more than $114 million, claiming that the Weinsteins ruined five animated film projects with their "indecisiveness and general incompetence." They would have filed the lawsuit earlier, they say, but the Weinsteins paid them $500,000 in quasi-hush money to delay it until after the Oscars so as not to sully their campaign for The King's Speech. Hollywood works in strange ways.

Though Inception didn't take best picture at the Oscars, it cleaned up in the effects categories, which reward movies built around cool ideas. Inception isn't just built around ideas, though: It's about how ideas form in the first place. [io9]

Tonight's Academy Awards have been hit-or-miss so far—an opening montage with its moments and the awkward monologue that followed, for example—but this? This was just inexplicably fantastic. Here's a few minutes of Kirk Douglas... being Kirk Douglas.

Following their opening montage that parodied many of the year's most notable films, Academy Awards hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway appeared on stage at the Kodak theater for an awkward, disjointed monologue. Oh, and Franco was totally stoned.

Tonight brings us the airing of the Joel McHale-hosted 2011 Independent Spirit Awards, or... the poor man's Oscars? McHale opened the show with a parody that poked fun at many of the nominated films. There were star cameos, too!

Remember at the end of Return of the Jedi, when a mistaken Han Solo said, "You love him" to Princess Leia about her brother, Luke Skywalker? Here's how it would have gone down had Quentin Tarantino directed the film. Incest!

Gawker had a chance to speak with Stephen Frears—the renowned British director of such films as My Beautiful Launderette, Dangerous Liaisons, High Fidelity, and The Queen—and get his views on this year's crop of Oscar nominees, George Clooney's politics, and why smart actresses are so sexy.

Coming to a theater near you: The Dogfather! Yes, really. It'll make you forget everything you thought you knew about gangster movies/gangster dogs—or maybe just make you wish you never knew it existed in the first place.

During host Jesse Eisenberg's monologue on tonight's Saturday Night Live, the Social Network star was surprised on stage by Andy Samberg-as-Mark Zuckerberg. But that wasn't all—shortly thereafter, the *real* Mark Zuckerberg showed up... and it was incredibly awkward!

This year's Golden Globes ceremony has ended, but that doesn't mean we have to stop talking about it! From Ricky Gervais' controversial turn as host, to Jane Fonda's nip slip—and much more!—here are the show's most memorable moments.

Veteran actor Robert De Niro received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement at tonight's Golden Globes. It was quite. His awkward, rambling, try-hard acceptance speech—during which he made several off-color jokes, like a drunk uncle—was not.

Holy wow. Ricky Gervais, the host of tonight's Golden Globes, just opened the show with one of the most unrelentingly harsh and uncomfortable monologues in awards show history—there was even a Tom Cruise/John Travolta gay joke! Watch inside.
