Don't **** up the acceptance speech.

If you've ever said that, you're either recreationally into that sort of thing (and we here at NextMovie hold no judgment) or you're a Hollywood director married to an actress in the movie you're directing. Get More »

The 9 Fugliest Men in Drag (in Movies)
Throughout the ages, comedians with the sharpest of wits and highest of brows have sought to expand our minds and tickle our funny bones by strapping on fake boobs and speaking in falsetto. Sure, it might seem cheap, childish and subtly sexists, but who cares? Based on the box office receipts, we can't get enough of it!
Now Sean Penn is getting serious about dressing in drag for "This Must Be the Place" (in theaters Nov. 2). But can he activate our drag gag reflexes as thoroughly as those faux femmes from bygone days? Let's review the fugly competition.

Warner Bros.
After the terrible tragedy in Aurora, Colorado this summer that left 12 audiences members dead at a screening of "The Dark Knight Rises," the folks behind the upcoming film "Gangster Squad" were faced with a dilemma as one of the main sequences in the film revolved around gangsters opening fire inside a crowded theater. What could they do?

'Gangster Squad' Theater Shooting Scene Being Removed
Warner Bros.
As America attempts to deal with last Friday morning's Colorado shooting, which left 12 theater patrons dead during a screening of "The Dark Knight Rises," Warner Bros. is dealing with the far less important but no less delicate task of deciding how to respond to the attack on screen as well as off screen.
And, according to Variety, the first major change being made in response to the massacre in Aurora is the removal of an eerily similar scene from the upcoming film "Gangster Squad." Get More »

GALLERY: Great Moments in '80s Hair
Before the 1990s, there was a stretch of time -- roughly 10 years or so -- we refer to as "the '80s." It was, like, this totally rad era in which a geriatric Rodney Dangerfield could be a party animal, coke was a problem and New Coke was an even gnarlier problem. And the only rule for your hair was that it had to appear hilarious to anyone not living in the '80s.
With the jukebox broadway musical "Rock of Ages" coming to theaters, we say it's time to grab a pogo ball and hop our way through the historical hallway of hairstyles, searching for what made '80s yearbooks into the comedy treasure chests they've become.

Gosling's Got a Gun in 'Gangster Squad' Trailer
Warner Bros.
Los Angeles has a problem with organized crime? Nothing that Ryan Gosling with a shotgun and a little Jay-Z on the soundtrack won't fix.
It was a little discouraging when Warner Bros. pulled "Gangster Squad" from its original October release date, but the fact that a trailer for the film has now been released gives us hope that the studio will find (and stick with) a slot for its period crime drama sometime this year after all.

Our 9 Favorite Movie Stoners
Warner Bros.
The numbers 4-20 have tons of significance in both world history and American culture. It's Hitler's birthday and the date of the Columbine massacre, for starters.
But since those two are such buzzkills, we'll focus on what else the date means: high time for stoners everywhere.
Looking back at our favorite stoner films, we notice many actors portray potheads one-dimensionally: eyes glazed, dopey voice, etc. We love the following movie stoners because they're not only funny, but also multidimensional.
Okay, but mostly because they're funny. Get More »
