The best part of the 2011 Oscars! Word on the street is that the Gregory Brothers were responsible for this magic.
Food Buzz Last minute, Best Picture-themed suggestions for your Oscars Party spread. Don’t just serve James Franco-American SpaghettiOs or Black Swanson TV dinners, make your guests some fancy 127 Hours d'oeuvres! Winter’s Bone appetit! Ugh. Suggest your own awful food-related-Academy-Awards-puns in the comments!
Celebrity Buzz Celebrate Oscar gold by getting black out drunk. Add you own rules in the comments!
Movie Buzz 33 interesting facts about all 3 Toy Story films. If you knew all of these, I give up.
Movie Buzz Lego auteur Alex Eylar has bricked together scenes from each of this year's Academy Awards Best Picture nominees. They should make a Lego Black Swan video game. People would pay out the nose to recreate certain scenes with Mila Kunis on Kinect.
Food Buzz This is like a sick and twisted alternative ending to Toy Story 3. Bon Appétit!
Tech Buzz From the “Making Things Unnecessarily Difficult For Yourself” files, two nifty little pieces of iPad artwork done with a finger and the iPad Brushes App by digital artist Kyle Lambert. Thanks for the tip, Kyle!
I bet this kid was excited when he realized that he looks just like a Pixar character. Sort of like how I felt when I saw the humans in Wall-E.
Sports Buzz The Epic 11-hour match between John Isner and Nicholas Mahut just ended. Eisner won (spoilers!). Here's what you could have done instead of watching a French guy and a 6'9” giant swat a ball back and forth for 660 minutes.

Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the cast from the first two Toy Story installments are joined by a new set of playthings.

I wish this were a real show. Or that The Wire were still on air. Either.

As we speculated last week, Twitter is, indeed, experimenting with trending topics as ad space. This is all part of Promoted Tweets, the company’s new ad platform aimed at increasing brands’ interaction with fans — and increasing Twitter’s revenues, too.

Since April, Twitter users have grown accustomed to Twitter's first ad revenue play: Promoted Tweets. Today, the second phase of that strategy is starting to be tested: Promoted Trending Topics. The first such topic? Toy Story 3, promoted by Disney/Pixar.
This is what you get when you mash up two of this Summer’s most anticipated yet completely different films. And honestly, it makes about as much sense as some of the other Inception trailers.
Pixar created a YouTube channel, filled it with classic 80s toy commercials for weeks, then released this “vintage” video introducing Lots-o-Huggin' Bear, a new character from Toy Story 3. It's so well done, I almost remember these being real.
Toy Story 3 made this amazing faux '80s kids toy commercial to promote the upcoming movie featuring Lotso Huggin' Bear.
Movie Buzz So far we've met the Peas-in-a-Pod and Ken, as well as Buttercup and Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear. Now add Chatter Telephone (voiced by Teddy Newton) and Chunk to the mix and you've got a whole new gang! (via The Pixar Blog)
This is Buttercup. She seems nice! Toy Story 3 comes out 6/18. [Jack's Note: I don't know. Buttercup seems like she has the potential to be insufferable. I just don't see how there's a place for unicorns in the Toy Story universe. OK, truth. I have not seen these films. :( ]
Movie Buzz Pixar has released the identities of the next 2 (of 14) new toy characters from Toy Story 3. As they continue to reveal new characters, it's becoming more apparent that Buzz and Woody may have changed hands to a new female owner.
Movie Buzz Disney announced two new toy characters from the next installment of the Toy Story movies. They are a plush Peas-In-A-Pod toy and the familiar Ken doll (voiced by Michael Keaton).
