David Arquette sat down and taped an interview with Oprah Winfrey that will air on Thursday. Some pretty sad and amazing details have leaked from audience members who were present for the taping. The most shocking – Arquette had his first beer when he was just four years old!

Can you imagine drinking a beer as being one of your earliest memories? Tragic. And Arquette got the beer and drank it while sitting with his dad.

In the Yidio Oscars Spotlight, we take a look at the key races at this year's Academy Awards. Now, for the biggest prize of the evening: Best Picture.

Past Winners

The Best Picture category can be a controversial one, as so many different factors enter the equation in determining a winner. Case in point, many found a win for "Gladiator" in 2000 to be a bit of a surprise, and when "Crash" won in 2005, there was a mild uproar.

I mean really. You can only bite the hand that feeds you for so long before the the feeding stops.

Episode 'Modern Family' Season 2, Episode 16 - Regrets Only Recap
February 24, 2011 @ 3:00 am PST    Modern Family, Modern Family     Kelly Lynch    

Paying for it. Everyone has to at some point, especially if you're in a relationship. Last night on "Modern Family," poor Phil Dunphy had to pay for years of pent-up frustration. It wasn't until his second round of ignorance that Claire broke down and stormed off in Halie's pretend place of work. And no, it wasn't just about the wedge salad.

Last night's night episode was like Sesame Street for unstable adults.

When he’s not chasing the “Breaking Dawn” in Vancouver, chasing down roles like the new Jeff Buckley biopic, or promoting "Water for Elephants," Robert Pattinson is apparently busy hanging out in barns with Vanity Fair.

Hollywood Life recently posted pictures of Pattinson’s latest cover shoot for Vanity Fair (to the left), and it looks like he’s going with a country gentlemen theme.

Phantom of the Oscars: Banksy to Make an Appearance at the Academy Awards (in Disguise)
February 24, 2011 @ 12:00 am PST    The Academy Awards, Exit Through the Gift Shop     Richard Sharp    

When graffiti god and art world crasher Banksy was nominated for Best Documentary at this year’s Academy Awards for his film “Exit Through the Gift Shop,” it struck us as a little odd, since the film is a really terrific and incredibly cool story, but utter fiction. Not that it matters one bit, because the prospect of Banksy crashing Hollywood’s biggest night was way too interesting to pass up.

Brule's Rules! John C. Reilly, Zach Galifinaikis, Will Ferrell Rumored for 'Tim & Eric's Billion Dollar Movie'

If you have ever found yourself with a bout of minor insomnia, staying up at night and watching Adult Swim on Cartoon Network, you might have come across an odd little sketch show called "Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!"

And chances are good that if you had never seen the show before, you were pretty confused: Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim put out some of the oddest (and sometimes terrifying) sketches you've ever seen.

Seth MacFarlane's cartoon baby will live to air another season.

Just announced, Fox will renew the animated series "American Dad" through the 2012-2013 TV Season.

The comedy celebrated it's 100th episode this season, although it has seen lower-than-awesome ratings.

In an attempt to help slumping viewership, the network shifted their programming to slip the show into the 7:30 pm Sunday slot.
