Brett Ratner to Create Video Campaign With GLAAD Following Gay-Slur Debacle
John Sciulli/WireImage
In the end, Brett Ratner will make up for his missteps by doing what he does best: being a director.
The Tower Heist helmer, who stirred up controversy last year when he publicly lobbed a gay slur that ultimately got him booted as producer of the 2012 Oscar telecast, will work with GLAAD to create a video campaign supporting the gay community and promoting equality, GLAAD announced yesterday.
Ryan Gosling Snubgate: What Does He Say About Losing Out on Oscar Nom and Sexiest Man Alive?

Hey girl, Ryan Gosling has heard your cries of injustice. And (swoon alert), he's not having any of it.
What with Russell Crowe stepping up to fight the good fight against the Academy, calling "bulls--t" on its failure to laud the Drive and Ides of March star with an Oscar nomination this year, Gosling's diehard fans have been left free to focus on the much more glaring oversight that's spurned their fair Gos of late: namely, his not being named People's Sexiest Man Alive.
Yes, that two-month-old injustice is still grabbing headlines. And don't expect it to stop anytime soon, especially now that the man himself has spoken out about the heinous snub. So, what does he have to say about getting passed over as man candy of the year?
Oscar Nominees Brad, Michelle, Meryl, Jonah (but Not George) Thank the Academy
Silence may indeed have proven to be golden for the awards magnet that is The Artist. But luckily, the ever grateful and humbled recipients of this morning's Oscar nominations didn't play it quite so retro when it came to expressing thanks for their nods.
Well, except for the no-commenting George Clooney, that is. He really is taking this Hollywood throwback thing to the limit. Unless maybe he's keeping quiet out of respect for all those unfathomable snubs?
In any case, while the gracious actors, actresses, directors, writers and producers honored by the 84th Annual Academy Awards weren't lacking in sound bites, our favorite reaction of the morning goes to someone who wasn't even a nominee…
Oscar Nominations! Complete List of Nominees for 84th Annual Academy Awards
Paramount Pictures
And the nominations go to...
Martin Scorsese's Hugo leads all Oscar contenders with 11 nods, including Best Picture and Best Director. The Artist was close behind with 10 nominations, followed by Moneyball and War Horse, with six apiece.
Billy Crystal hosts this year's 84th annual Academy Awards, taking place Feb. 26.
Here's the complete list of nominees:
Watch Live: Oscar Nominations!
And the Oscar nominations go to…
Well, we'll know any minute now. Yes, rise and shine, Hollywood, because your day of days is here! And before the nominees can tell us what an honor it is to be nominated, the Academy actually has to bless those bleary-eyed hopefuls with a nod.
Which is why we're livestreaming the whole nomination announcement, starting bright dark and early at 5:30 a.m. PT.
So, will The Artist walk away with the most nominations? Will Meryl Streep bag another Best Actress nomination? Will it be Pitt vs. Clooney vs. Gosling as Best Hunk Actor? Watch and find out!
The Artist Castmembers Sound Off on Oscars: "If I Had Money I Would Bet on That!"

Call it the picture worth a thousand words.
Fresh off their win at the Critics' Choice Awards and the Golden Globes, it's safe to say the entire cast of The Artist is still buzzing with excitement.
And since critics are now calling the French film the front runner for the Oscars, we had to ask members of the cast whether they're expecting a win.
Hey, it may be a silent film, but Adria Tennor and Ken Davitian didn't have any trouble gettin' chatty, and let's just say these two can't wait to take home that precious gold statue.
Bridesmaids Babe Talks One-Upping The Hangover! Oh, and About That Oscar Nom...
Universal Pictures
People's Choice Winner. Critics' Choice Winner. And tomorrow we'll learn if Bridesmaids can slap Golden Globe Winner on to that prestigious résumé as well.
When we caught up with scene-stealing housewife Wendi McLendon-Covey, she told us she's loving all the attention, joking, "Now I'm greedy. Now I want all the awards! Best Foreign Digital Short? I'm taking it for Bridesmaids!"
Hey, we're sure you can make a case for why you deserve it. But what are Wendi's thoughts on the impending Oscar race? And what message did she have for the bad boys of The Hangover?
Morning Mail: Will Jake and Reese Have an Extra Awkward Golden Globes Encounter?
INFdaily.com
Dear Ted:
Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon are both presenting at the Golden Globes this year? Can we expect a run in between the two exes?
—MooKinda
Dear Ex Wars:
A run-in? Definitely possible. But an awkward Brangelina-Jennifer Aniston-esque encounter? Don't count on it. Reese is happily married and beyond over her relaysh with Jake. Besides, the two were far less serious than everyone presumed.
Dear Ted:
I'm really worried that Brad Pitt will win at award season this year, because he really doesn't deserve to, there were much better performances, Michael Shannon, anyone? But I believe it is manipulated and Brangelina are corrupt anyway, so I can see him walking away with the Oscar and I don't like it. It's like school when the popular kids get away with everything (style over substance) and even Clooney keeps mentioning him during speeches when there's no need, why the desperation for Pitt to win? So I want to know in your humble insider opinion do you really think Brad will win or it will be George Clooney or Jean Dujardin and any others who are far superior actors?

Hey, Jessica Chastain, We Planned Your EGOT Path for You!
Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images
Jessica Chastain hasn't been dubbed this year's award season darling for nothing.
And she's not going anywhere...except, well, from Hollywood to Broadway. Yesterday it was announced that Jessica would be leaving behind T-town—where she made a huge, huge splash last year—to hit the stage in a fall 2012 staging of the play The Heiress.
Which to us screams: Tony! And since Jess is already getting plenty of buzz for Oscars, we have zero doubt that the gal could eventually go for the EGOT (that'd be an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony). So Team Truth laid out her award show-stealin' road map.
And in reverse order, here it is:
Who Will Replace Eddie Murphy as Oscar Host?

So who will host the Oscars now that Eddie Murphy is out?
—Head Waiter, via the inbox
Well, just in case Ricky Gervais is unavailable, I do have some idea about the general direction the Oscars will likely take. If history is any guide...
