Beyonce tried to pretend that she didn’t want to talk about her PDA free marriage to Jay-Z and Rihanna pretended she was still single on Ellen. Watch the interviews if you missed them.

GRAMMY PERFORMANCES 2010 VIDEOS +AWARDS WINNERS LIST

Congrats to all of the 2010 Oscar nominees! We had an opportunity to see the nominated films and believe the list of nominees reflects many genres from sci fi action to drama.
Oscars Nods Announced

The Academy Awards will be hosted by Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin airs Sunday March 7th at 8 pm Est.

The Razzies were also announced and Beyonce topped the worst actress acting list with Transformers 2 receiving nominations in several categories.

“Congratulations to all you Basterds!! 8 nominations – it’s unreal. Thanks for all your messages, I’m so happy for Quentin & the team,” cheers fellow Inglourious one Eli Roth.

Several stars stepped onto Team Precious with their happy tweets.

“Congrats to Monique, Gabbi, Lee Daniels and Precious for getting Oscar nominations,” writes Nick Cannon.

“SHOUTOUT to PRECIOUS, LEE DANIELS, MO’NIQUE & GABBY on their Oscar nominations! It’s great when excellence gets rewarded,” Star Jones says. “Special Sisterly Shoutout to the amazing Meryl Streep…who is BRILLIANT every time she hits the screen! Consistent Excellence!”

Ugly Betty’s Michael Urie kept it simple—”Yay District 9!”—while Rainn Wilson and Josh Malina brought the funny.

“Congrats to The Blind Side on it’s best picture nomination. Blindness is a devastating handicap and the real story needs to be told,” Wilson joked, adding later, “Apologies 2 the blind who were offended by my last tweet. The Blind Side is actually abt the dangers of highway driving & rear view mirrors.”

“If I had to see another film by a fashion designer, I’d watch Wendy Pepper’s home movies before I suffered through A SINGLE MAN again,” Malina bashed.
