There isn't a screenwriter in Hollywood who could have written a twist that's both as shocking and joyous as the end of the 2017 Oscars. As the producers of La La Land were giving acceptance speeches for what they thought was a Best Picture win, the film's producers learned that they had in fact lost – to Moonlight. "Personally, I blame Steve Harvey for this," quipped host Jimmy Kimmel as the cast and crew of Moonlight ascended the stage for what turned out to be a peaceful transition of power.

Jennifer Lawrence probably isn't thrilled that her now-infamous fall at the 2013 Oscars is a cautionary tale, though she can probably forgive her former Best Supporting Actress rival, Lupita Nyong'o, for worrying about repeating that gaffe.
Nyong'o, who graces the July cover of Vogue magazine, revealed in the accompanying interview that in the surreality surrounding the moment she won the statuette earlier this year, one glaring thought shone through.
[S]he remembers that all she could think was "Don't fall on those stairs" because, as she drolly explains, "it's not cute if you follow Jennifer Lawrence-it's not cute if you're the second one!"
Luckily, Nyong'o stayed upright, and delivered a powerful, beautiful speech, encouraging young people to follow their dreams. It's a message that she herself applied, though the "12 Years a Slave" star admitted that it took her many years to realize that her passion was worth pursuing. It seems everything worked out for the actress,...

When comedian Mike Birbiglia gets anxious, he starts sleepwalking. Now, as he stars in a film about his condition, he recalls the dramatic night he turned into the Incredible Hulk…
It's 20 January 2005, and I'm in Walla Walla, Washington – which is a place. I'm staying at a hotel called La Quinta Inn. It's 1am and I'm lying in bed. But I'm not going to sleep because I'm an insomniac. I'm sitting up in my bed with my laptop warming my thighs. I'm Googling myself. I'm watching the news. And I'm eating a pizza. At the same time.
And I fall asleep.
I have a dream that there is a guided missile headed towards my room and there are all these military personnel in the room.
I jump out of bed and say: "What's the plan?"
And the general in charge turns to me and says: "The missile co-ordinates are set specifically on you.
