Every awards show, especially the Oscars, depends on the reaction shots from the audience for entertainment. Seeing how a celebrity reacts to a well-worded quip — or one of Seth MacFarlane's jokes, boom — can provide just as many laughs as the gag itself.

Oscars 2013: Everything You Missed In 49 Seconds

That's why the folks over at Next Movie have put together a supercut of the 33 best reaction shots from the Academy Awards. It's all there: Tommy Lee Jones laughing, Jack's disbelief, and Joaquin Phoenix's unbelievable amount of discomfort.

Dwayne Johnson Couldn't Handle 'Identity Thief' At Weekend Box Office

Posted 2/25/13 9:06 am EST by in Box Office

FROM MTV NEWS

A big night in Hollywood for the Oscars meant a pretty light weekend everywhere else at the box office. The Melissa McCarthy holdover "Identity Thief" reclaimed its top spot on the charts in its third week in release and beat Dwayne Johnson's latest action effort "Snitch." The comedy took in a modest $14 million ahead of "Snitch"'s $13 million.

Perhaps the most surprising story of the weekend came from "A Good Day to Die Hard." Last week's champion suffered a pretty massive drop-off, falling 60 percent in its second weekend, taking in just $10 million, good enough for a fifth place finish.

The other debut of the weekend, "Dark Skies," opened just behind "Die Hard" with $8.8 million.

Head over to MTV News for you full box office recap.

Oscars: The Seven Youngest Academy Award Nominees Ever

Posted 2/22/13 4:52 pm EST by in Oscars

Beasts

By Beckett Mufson

If Quvenzhané Wallis wins at this year's Oscars, she will be the youngest Academy Award winner ever, aside from Shirley Temple, who won a non-competitive award in 1935. If Wallis doesn't win, she will still be among the elite dramatic forces of small children who are good at pretending to be other small children, which is a respectable accomplishment. Each of these starlets earned a permanent place in the day care of cinema history, and are the standard that child actors everywhere are measured against.

Here they are the best of the youngest and the youngest of the best the Academy has ever seen.

Mark Strong Talks 'Beautiful, Epic' 'Day Of The Falcon'

Posted 2/22/13 10:30 am EST by in Interviews, News

Mark Strong

by Ryan Rigley

Mark Strong is a man of many talents; chief among those talents being his uncanny ability to portray larger than life movie villains. He's already played dozens of memorable antagonists (in such films as "Green Lantern," "Sherlock Holmes," "Kick-Ass" and "Body of Lies") but never before has the British-born actor taken on a role quite as challenging as Sultan Amar in Jean-Jacques Annaud's latest film, "Day of the Falcon."

"I think it was just a fantastic story," Strong tells MTV News of reading the "Day of the Falcon" script for the first time. "I remember reading it on a beautiful sunny day looking out over the sea at Cannes and it was an incredibly atmospheric place to sit down and read a script. The script itself was just this beautiful, epic story. I just got carried away with it really."

Batman And Bane To Climb 'Everest' In Dueling Projects

Posted 2/19/13 4:00 pm EST by in News

Christian Bale

By Tara Fowler

Were you disappointed by the ending of "The Dark Knight Rises"? Did the showdown between Batman and Bane fail to live up to your expectations? Well never fear because Christian Bale and Tom Hardy will face off again — only this time they'll meet on the top of the world's tallest mountain.

Deadline reports that the Caped Crusader himself is in negotiations to star in Universal's "Everest." The film centers on the real-life story of three failed May 1996 expeditions that resulted in the deaths of eight climbers after they were hit by a sudden blizzard. The Mount Everest disaster, as it is known, was documented in detail by Jon Krakauer, a journalist who was a member of one of the expeditions and who later published the bestseller "Into Thin Air." The movie will be based in part on his book, as well as other source materials and interviews with the survivors.
