oscars

One bright spot in a year so filled with sadness, loss, and defeat is Jackie Chan, who received an honorary Oscar at the 8th Annual Governors Awards on Saturday. Jackie Chan has spent the last 50 years and more than 200 movies jumping through windows, across buildings, and in between the rungs of ladders, just so we ingrates can smile for a couple of minutes. He's a planetary treasure, and it's just so nice to see him rewarded. 

In addition to Chan, other honorary Oscars were given to editor Anne V. Coates of Lawrence of Arabia fame, casting director Lynn Stalmaster (the first casting director to win an Oscar), and documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman. Read more about the awards at Variety. 

Twitter was very proud Jackie Chan, which, honestly, warms my heart.

Admit it, unless you're a really big movie fan you probably didn't watch all of the Oscars. That's why we're here to sum up all the most important parts. From Leonardo DiCaprio finally winning that Oscar to memes about Leonardo DiCaprio FINALLY winning that Oscar... we've got it all.

The official Walking Dead Twitter account started by creating The Walking Dead versions of Oscar nominated films. Then other people caught on and it spiraled out of control like a mysterious pathogen that causes people to become reanimated corpses when they die.

The Tumblr blog Don't Call Me Oscar is run by photographer Maggie Storino. These adorable recreations of the Best Picture nominees are not just cute, they can tell the future. Storino told Mashable, "A little known fact about 'Don't Call Me Oscar' is that it's a good predictor of the Oscar winner; since we've been on Tumblr, the photo with the most notes has won Best Picture 3 out of 4 years."

Film blogger David Adamek got inspired by this Tweet and decided to make an entire series of new posters for Oscar nominated films featuring scenes from Winnie the Pooh. Suddenly those childhood memories seem much more dramatic.

Who has time to watch all the movies nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars just to keep up with pop culture? For the record, that's 17 hours and 29 minutes that could be spent aimlessly surfing the internet. If you want to stay relevant with your cinephile friends that badly, these honest posters are all you need.

"...Keep it together, Leo. Breathe. Breathe deeply. You're only 39. Acting is a lifelong gig. If I don't win an actual Oscar, maybe they'll give me a Lifetime Achievement Award. GAAAH, that's not helping!"

Behold the power of Photoshop!

...wait till you see this family's take on them. The kids at Don't Call Me Oscar have been replicating famous movie scenes since 2012.
