When Charlize Theron talks about how to triumph during awards season, you'd better listen. She's a two-time Oscar nominee, a four-time Golden Globe nominee, the star of such respected fare as "Monster," "North Country" and... "Aeon Flux."
Hey, not everyone's a winner, right? Ms. Theron is nonetheless a critically-lauded thespian, and her latest offering — she plays a loathsome yet hilarious YA novelist in "Young Adult" — has once again landed her in the middle of awards-season chatter. Could this be the year she adds a second statue to match the first, which she nabbed for her turn as a serial killer in "Monster"?
Perhaps. But it most certainly is the year you can learn from Theron about how to win an Oscar. In the latest episode of "After Hours," the 36-year-old sat down with MTV's Josh Horowitz to explain how to cozy up to the Academy and walk away with a little golden statuette. The easiest way? "Do what I did," she declared. "Just get fat and put a bunch of prosthetics on."
Hear that, aspiring Hollywood A-listers? Skip that acting class and just watch "After Hours."

'The Hobbit' Trailer: The Five Best Reveals

At long last, "The Hobbit" trailer has finally been unveiled.
Ultimately, we've been waiting a decade -- aka since the first "Lord of the Rings" film first hit theaters -- for this movie's trailer to be released finally. Though it's a prequel to the previous movies, "The Hobbit" is a project that has been in development longer than its predecessors. Director Peter Jackson originally wanted to start his adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's saga with "The Hobbit", but because of technical issues they had to start with the latter installments of the series.
We aren't complaining, but there are a lot of things in this trailer that we have been waiting a good long while to see revealed. After the jump, we list off the five most exciting debuts in "The Hobbit's" first official trailer.
