1. Leonardo DiCaprio literally broke the Internet last night. Our boy FINALLY took home the Oscar last night for Best Actor after six nominations, and the entire Twitterverse broke up and practically devoured itself. Sorry, Kim KW, but Leo’s Oscar winning moment was actually the moment that broke the Internet, with 440,000 tweets per minute — beating the record set by Ellen’s Oscar selfie from 2014. Oh yeah, and this absolutely precious video of The Revenant actor waiting for his Oscar to get engraved at the Governor’s Ball afterwards is a must-see. He very casually leans over the counter as he admires the etcher’s work and asks, “Do you do this every year? I wouldn’t know.” His smile is akin to a kid getting a puppy at Christmas. “I have to take care of it? I have to maintain it? What does that mean?” he asks, taking back his statuette. “Thank you!” (h/t The Hollywood Reporter)
2. Louis C.K. might have just made himself the next Oscar host contender. Intentionally or not, comedian Louis C.K. took the stage to present Best Documentary Short and did what he did best — made the audience roar with laughter. Basically, in his minute and a half monologue, he’s proven he’s got the chops. Louis C.K., host of the 89th Academy Awards? Yeah, we’d watch that. (h/t Vulture)
3. And the best dad of the year award goes to… Chris Rock. If you tuned in last night, one of the sweetest — yet properly hilarious — moments of the show was when Chris Rock brought out his two daughters’ Girl Scout troop to sell boxes of cookies to Hollywood’s richest celebs.
Kylie Jenner tried to trademark her name and Kylie Minogue said nope.
Mashable, the singer claims Kylie Jenner’s trademark would “cause confusion between the two and dilute Minogue’s brand.”Chris Rock just did the impossible and sold $65,000 worth of carbs to a room full of Hollywood actors https://t.co/j4Va8YWRWr
