Speaking of movies, Conan O'Brien has been chosen again to host next year's Academy Awards, just a couple of weeks after hosting the Oscars for the first time. O'Brien earned solid reviews for his hosting duties, and the Oscars on ABC drew its highest TV ratings in five years with 19.7 million viewers.
O'Brien said in a statement, "The only reason I'm hosting the Oscars next year is that I want to hear Adrien Brody finish his speech." (Brody set a record for longest acceptance speech ever - just over five minutes - after winning the Best Actor award.)
