The 85th Acedemy Awards are this Sunday.  Let's learn more about Hollywood's biggest night with the Top Little-Known Facts About the 2013 Oscars.


--The Academy wanted a host who could bring some humor to the ceremonies.  But then they reconsidered, and hired Seth MacFarlane.

--If you thought Anne Hathaway was annoying when she hosted the Oscars, wait until you see her acceptance speech.

--No, the dude who just sold you Scratcher tickets at 7-Eleven is NOT the star of "Life of Pi".  So, don't ask.  It will make you look racist.

--Sally Field was so convincing as a hysterically irrational woman in "Lincoln" that I thought she was playing my wife.

--"Silver Linings Playbook" is not about an actual book, but instead about how hot that blue-eyed hunk Bradley Cooper is.  Just me?

--This will be Seth MacFarlane's first time hosting the Oscars.  And also, his last.

--"Life of Pi" was tedious and uninteresting.  But nobody will admit that because they want to look smart.

--People think Daniel Day-Lewis is our greatest actor, but what they don't know is he's played by Meryl Streep.  She's THAT good, people.

--The Oscar gift bag includes moisturizer.  Which, sadly, Tommy Lee Jones won't use.

--In order to get him to come, producers had to promise Tommy Lee Jones there would be no jokes.

--The only people who've seen "Beasts of the Southern Wild" are the people who made "Beasts of the Southern Wild".  And two of them are lying.

--The two biggest misconceptions are that "Zero Dark Thirty" is factually accurate, and that Seth MacFarlane is straight.

--Seth MacFarlane will spend at least half the show talking like either Stewie, Peter or Ted the bear.  (--Actually, that's one of the top WELL-KNOWN facts about this year's Oscars.  Sorry.)

--Billy Crystal was the first choice to host, but he recently had his face stretched so tight it ripped down the middle.

--If "Django Unchained" wins Best Picture, the Weinsteins are going to let Jamie Foxx kill a real, live white person.

--There's a million-dollar bonus on the table for the first person to get Tommy Lee Jones to smile.

--Documentary short film winners get the most ass at the after-parties.

--No Best Supporting Actress winner has EVER thanked Satan.

--If "Argo" wins, both Ben Affleck AND his beard will give acceptance speeches.

--Even if he doesn't win a trophy, you can rest assured Hugh Jackman is still going home with an "Oscar."

--Producers are hoping a performance from Barbra Streisand may FINALLY help bring in some gay viewers.

--Bradley Cooper is crossing his fingers that even if he doesn't win, he may FINALLY be able to find some female companionship.

--No actor has ever won an Oscar for appearing in a Steven Spielberg movie.  Which is why both ET and that shark are now hopeless alcoholics

--He has prosthetic legs and shot and killed his girlfriend.  Sorry, that's the 2013 Oscar Pistorius facts.
