Jared Leto mom brother oscars 2014

Jared Leto won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role as a cross-dressing AIDS patient in "Dallas Buyer's Club."

During his acceptance speech, Leto told the story of his mother, who was a high school drop out and single mother in Louisiana. He went on to dedicate his win to millions of AIDS casualties. Check out the incredible speech below:

In 1971, Bossier City, Louisiana, there was a teenage girl who was pregnant with her second child. She was a high school dropout and a single mom, but somehow she managed to make a better life for herself and her children. She encouraged her kids to be creative, to work hard and to do something special. That girl is my mother and she’s here tonight. And I just want to say, I love you, Mom. Thank you for teaching me to dream. To my brother, Shannon, the best big brother in the world, you’re a true artist. Thank you so much for sharing this insane and amazing adventure that is 30 Seconds to Mars, and for being my best friend. I love you. Thank you.

To all the dreamers out there around the world watching this tonight in places like the Ukraine and Venezuela, I want to say we are here and as you struggle to… to make your dreams happen, to live the impossible… We’re thinking of you tonight. And this is, is incredibly special as well because there’s so many people that helped me get here.

And this for the 36 million people who have lost the battle to AIDS and to those of you out there who have ever felt injustice because of who you are or who you love, tonight I stand here in front of the world with you and for you. Thank you so much and goodnight.

If you tuned into the Oscars, you may have been confused when John Travolta took the stage.  

The “Pulp Fiction” actor was introducing Idina Menzel before she performed Oscar-nominated song “Let It Go” from Disney’s “Frozen”; however, he made one misstep.

Instead of introducing singer Idina Menzel, Travolta welcomed someone who sounded like “Adele Dazeem” to the stage.

Ellen DeGeneres Oscars host 2014

Ellen DeGeneres hosted the 86th annual Academy Awards Sunday night and insulted some of Hollywood's A-list celebrities along the way.

During her opening monologue, the talk show host poked fun at many nominees and stars in the audience:

  • June Squibb, "Nebraska": "At 84 years old she is the oldest nominee. I'M TELLING EVERYONE YOU WERE WONDERFUL IN 'NEBRASKA,'" Ellen yelled so she could "hear."
  • Amy Adams, "American Hustle": "I've done a little research and between all of the nominees here tonight you've made over 1,400 films. And you've gone to a total of six years of college. Amy Adams, you went to college right? No? But you're an amazing actress, you're in not one but two nominated films tonight. That's selfish."
  • Liza Minnelli: "One of the most amazing Liza Minnelli impersonators I've ever seen is here. Good job, sir."
  • Jennifer Lawrence: "I am not going to bring up what happened last year. It’s ridiculous, I mean something like that happens, and it’s embarrassing, and people just talk about it. It’s just, you know… for those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, Jennifer Lawrence last year, she fell on the way up, tripped. I don’t know if she got caught on the tip of the dress, but… let’s show the clip. And you know the thing where you fell out of the car tonight? No one needs to know that, I’m not going to mention that."

Lupita Nyong’o oscar winner

Lupita Nyong'o took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in "12 Years A Slave."

The 31-year-old, Yale School of Drama-educated actress thanked “the spirit of Patsey," her character in Steve McQueen's slavery drama for helping her performance.

Nyong'o, who was born in Mexico and raised in Kenya, went on to preach, "no matter where you’re from, your dreams are valid." Read the rest of her incredible speech below:

It doesn’t escape me for one moment that so much joy in my life is thanks to so much pain in someone else’s. And so I want to salute the spirit of Patsey for her guidance. And for Solomon, thank you for telling her story and your own. Steve McQueen, you charge everything you fashion with a breath of your own spirit. Thank you so much for putting me in this position. This has been the joy of my life. I’m certain that the dead are standing about you and watching and they are grateful and so am I.

Chiwetel, thank you for your fearlessness and how deeply you went into telling Solomon’s story. Michael Fassbender, thank you so much. You were my rock. Alfre and Sarah, it was a thrill to work with you. Joe Walker, the invisible performer in the editing room, thank you. Sean Bobbitt, Kalaadevi, Adruitha, Patty Norris, thank you, thank you, thank you, I could not be here without your work.

I want to thank my family for your training and the Yale School of Drama as well for your training. My friends, the Wilsons, this one’s for you. My brother, Junior, sitting by my side. Thank you so much. You are my best friend. And Ben, my other best friend, my chosen family.

When I look down at this golden statue, may it remind me and every little child that no matter where you’re from your dreams are valid.

Thank you.

Jimmy Kimmel wore jeans and an untucked button-down shirt on Sunday's Oscar's red carpet.

The casual attire was part of the late night host's pre-Oscars show bit in which he confronted "real people" tweeting mean things about celebrities at the Oscars. The bit didn't go over well, with viewers thinking he was making fun of them. We're sure the Academy wasn't thrilled with his outfit, either.

Morgan stewart cell phone

When your parents are so rich you don't have to work, what do you do all day?

Morgan Stewart's parents made a killing in real estate so she doesn't need to work like most of her friends. She spends time blogging on her site, Boobs and Loubs, and her Instagram profile got her cast on E! show, "Rich Kids of Beverly Hills." The account has 200,000 followers.

When asked what her typical day is like, Stewart replied:

“A typical day for me is very lackluster. I wake up, I have cottage cheese with six nectarines, then I have two waters legitimately then I have a coffee."

Stewart then says she waits for a bowel movement, and if one doesn't happen, she won't leave her house. "Then I go spinning probably around 12:30. Then I drive around aimlessly, I pop into stores, and talking. I’m always talking.”

Here's her description of her typical day.
