Originally posted 02/20/2013 07:00PM
Strike up the band, for Sunday night's Oscars promise to be very musical.
In the most detailed preview yet of what is to be expected – and what isn't – the 85th annual Academy Awards producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron tell Deadline.com that their special tribute to the resurgence of movie musicals in the past decade will star Les Misérables nominees Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway with costars Russell Crowe, Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tevit, Samantha Barks, and Helena Bonham Carter; Dreamgirls Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson; and Chicago winner Catherine Zeta-Jones.
"What we don't want to do is play it safe," says Zadan about the show in general, admitting – repeatedly – that the job of producing it is "enormous."

Anne Hathaway's Les Mis Dress as You've Never Seen It Before
Originally posted 02/20/2013 03:00PM
It's true: Movies wouldn't be as magical without costumes. From Fantine's tattered red frock in Les Misérables to Mary Todd Lincoln's period-perfect gowns (both in the slideshow above), made-for-movie ensembles say a lot about a character and stir up viewers' emotions.
So it was only "fitting" that on Tuesday night, just days before the Oscars, Hollywood's hottest stars got together at the Beverly Hilton Hotel to celebrate the people who make those magical fashion moments real: costume designers.
Winners at the 15th annual Costume Designers Guild Awards included Skyfall designer Jany Temime, Anna Karenina's Jacqueline Durran, Smash's Molly Maginnis and Downton Abbey's Caroline McCall. Judianna Makovsky, who designed such masterpieces as the Girl on Fire dress for The Hunger Games (see slideshow), earned the career achievement in film honor.

Scarlett Johansson Raves About Cat Costar Ben Walker's Bare Butt
Originally posted 02/12/2013 10:15AM
Scarlett Johansson as Maggie the Cat is supposed to be the main sex symbol in the Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. But she's got her eye on costar Ben Walker – in particular, his butt.
"That is really one of the brighter points of my life," the actress, 28, tells Broadway.com.
Walker, 30, playing Maggie's husband Brick, spends a large chunk of the play wearing nothing but a towel, and sometimes (with his back to the crowd) not even that, giving Johansson – and the audience – an eyeful.
"I have asked Ben at times, when I was having a more difficult day, to just leave it out there for a couple more moments, just to brighten my day a little bit," she says. "I think it adds a little bit of hope in an otherwise dismal situation."

Anne Hathaway on Winning An Oscar: Whatever Happens, Happens
Originally posted 02/11/2013 07:00AM
She's won big at the Golden Globes and now the BAFTAs, but will Anne Hathaway take home an Oscar?
Hathaway – who is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Les Misérables – isn't spending too much time worrying about it.
"Whatever happens in two weeks, happens. It won't be the worst thing that happens to me if I don't win, and with my husband by my side it won't be the best thing either. So I am feeling very good about whatever," the actress, 30, told reporters backstage after nabbing a best supporting actress statue at Sunday's British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards in London.

Anne Hathaway: What's She Doing in Gucci Cleaning Gutters?
Originally posted 02/07/2013 06:55PM
It's hard to look glamorous while cleaning leaves out of a rain gutter, but Les Misérables star Anne Hathaway, draped in a Gucci gown at PEOPLE's photo portfolio of Oscar nominees, shows us she's truly a woman of many talents.
And while in real life she may dress down a whole lot more for dirty chores, the Academy Award frontrunner says that at home, she's truly just like everyone else.
"I'm on the winning end of an award," Hathaway, who picked up a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award for best supporting actress, tells PEOPLE. "That's very surreal and unusual. But then today I have a load of laundry to do!"
