Oscars 2018: Kimmel talks 'Moonlight' snafu, Weinstein downfall
Returning Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel was quick to bring up the jaw-dropping mistake that led to La La Land being announced as Best Picture instead of rightful winner Moonlight last year.

One of the accountants who tabulated the votes handed off the wrong envelope to awards presenters Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty at the end of the 2017 broadcast on ABC.

"This year, when you hear your name called, don't get up right away. Give us a minute. We don't want another thing. What happened last year was unfortunate," Kimmel told the crowd at the Dolby Theatre at Sunday's gala. "Last year, about a week before the show, the producers asked me if I wanted to do some comedy with the accountants and I said, 'No, I don't want to do comedy with the accountants.' So, then the accountants went ahead and did comedy on their own. And I have to hand it to them, it was hilarious, but it won't happen again."

Kimmel went on to say he was assured the accountants would focus on the show and delivering the right envelope this year.

"Just out of curiosity, though, what was your focus the other 89 years? I'm hopeful things will go smoothly tonight," the comedian said, joking about how well respected the Academy Awards or Oscars are within the entertainment industry.

Gesturing toward a life-sized statue of an Oscar -- which is nude but does not have genitals and has its arms crossed -- Kimmel noted, "Oscar is the most beloved and respected man in Hollywood.

"And there is a very good reason why. Just look at him. He keeps his hands where you can see them. Never says a rude word and, most importantly, no penis at all. Literally, a statue of limitations," he said as the audience applauded. "That's the kind of man we need more of in this town."

He also mentioned that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences -- bestowers of the Oscars -- recently ousted disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein after he was accused by dozens of women of sexual abuse.

"There are a lot of great nominees, but Harvey deserved it the most," Kimmel said, adding that only one other person had ever been expelled from the academy before Weinstein -- a character actor named Carmine Caridi who got the boot in 2004 for sharing movie screeners.

"Carmine Caridi got the same punishment as Harvey Weinstein for giving his neighbor a copy of Seabiscuit on VHS," Kimmel quipped. "But what happened with Harvey and what's happening all over is long overdue. We can't let bad behavior slide anymore. The world is watching us. We need to set an example. And the truth is, if we are successful here, if we can work together to stop sexual harassment in the workplace, if we can do that, women will only have to deal with harassment all the time, in every other place they go."

He encouraged winners to stand up for their beliefs during their acceptance speeches, but also promised whomever delivered the shortest remarks would go home with a new $18,000 personal watercraft.

Kimmel said the awards presentation is intended to be a night of positivity in which the industry shines a light on "a group of outstanding and inspiring films -- each and every one of which got crushed by Black Panther this weekend."

'M*A*S*H,' 'Beauty and the Beast' star David Ogden Stiers dead at 75
Emmy Award-winning actor David Ogden Stiers has died at his Oregon home, following a battle with bladder cancer. He was 75.

"My dear friend and client of 30 years is gone," representative Mitchell Stubbs of Mitchell K. Stubbs & Associates said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter Saturday. "David had wisdom and talent in so many different areas. I wish people could know the beautiful heart that he had. His friends and family knew, as he told us so."

Stiers is best known for playing U.S. Army Maj. Charles Emerson Winchester III in M*A*S*H from 1977 to 1983. He also memorably lent his voice to the character of Cogsworth the clock in Disney's 1991 animated classic Beauty and the Beast.

His other credits include the films Better Off Dead and Creator, the miniseries The First Olympics: Athens 1896 and North and South, and the cartoons Spirited Away, Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Lilo & Stitch. He appeared in several Perry Mason TV movies in the 1980s, as well.

He continued to do voice-over work in video games and animated projects until 2015.

Outside of acting, Stiers served as the resident conductor of the Newport Symphony and guest conducted for more than 70 orchestras around the world, Deadline noted.


'Transparent' stars Bradley Whitford, Amy Landecker are engaged
Former Transparent co-stars Bradley Whitford and Amy Landecker are engaged, a representative has confirmed.

Whitford, who starred in Oscar nominees Get Out and The Post, told Ryan Seacrest he was engaged while walking the red carpet at the Academy Awards.

"I walked out of the room and I said to my fiancée, this is unlike any script I've ever read. This could be incredibly brilliant or it could really not work," Whitford said during E!'s Live From the Red Carpet about Get Out.

Landecker was also spotted wearing a diamond ring Friday as the couple attended the 11th Annual Celebration of the 2018 Female Oscar Nominees together.

Whitford, 58, and Landecker, 48, starred together on Amazon's Transparent as Magnus Hirschfeld and Sarah Pfefferman respectively. The couple began dating in the summer of 2015.

"I knew Bradley for a year before we dated and I kind of thought that he seemed like a cocky actor boy and I wasn't really that interested," Landecker said previously to People magazine. "Now I've learned that If I don't like someone at first, that's probably a sign that they're perfect for me because my taste is so bad ... so I was like, 'Oh, see here it is!' I didn't think and now I'm the happiest I've ever been."


??? Guess Who ???
Which former Oscar winner wore her 1962 Oscars dress to Sunday's ceremony?

Rita Moreno says the gown she wore to Sunday's Oscars ceremony is the same one she had on when she won her own statuette for West Side Story in 1962.

Moreno, 86, told ABC on the red carpet before the gala that the black and gold gown was made in the Philippines, but she did not name the designer.

"I did not expect to win," she reflected on her win for Best Supporting Actress 56 years ago. "I thought Judy Garland would."

Garland was nominated for her role in Judgment at Nuremberg.

"Wait till you see what I'm wearing!!!" Moreno teased on Twitter last week.

Moreno can now be seen on the Netflix sitcom One Day at a Time.
