Melissa Leo wins Oscar for "The Fighter"
LOS ANGELES - Melissa Leo won the Academy Award on Sunday for her supporting role in "The Fighter," a movie that propelled the 50-year-old actress into the mainstream for the first time in her career. Leo was considered a favorite for the prize, but faced strong competition from both co-star Amy Adams and Helena Bonham-Carter for "The King's Speech." All played real-life characters.
"Toy Story 3" wins Oscar for animated feature
LOS ANGELES - "Toy Story 3" won the Oscar for animated feature on Sunday, becoming the fourth Pixar release to win the category in as many years.

Hollywood's women wear red and sparkle to Oscars
LOS ANGELES - The women of Hollywood returned to razzle dazzle with an array of red, silver and sparkling gowns on the Oscars red carpet on Sunday, in contrast to more somber ensembles in vogue the past few years. The bright lights turned the tide from more muted and conservative fashions at the Academy Awards of the past few years which reflected with the world's economic woes.
"Gnomeo & Juliet" climbs to top of box office
LOS ANGELES - Disney's "Gnomeo & Juliet" jumped two spots to land at the top of the North American box office on Sunday in a slow period when most moviegoers focused on the world's biggest movie awards, Hollywood's Oscars. "Gnomeo & Juliet," a 3-D animated family film that has generated generally good reviews, pulled in $14.2 million in movie ticket sales, beating newcomer comedy "Hall Pass," starring Owen Wilson, which landed in the No. 2 spot with $13.4 million, according to film studio estimates on Sunday.
Elizabeth Taylor spends 79th birthday in hospital
LOS ANGELES - Two-time Oscar winner Elizabeth Taylor is cheering for "The King's Speech" to win the Academy Award for best film on Sunday, her 79th birthday, from a hospital where she remains in treatment for heart problems. A representative for Taylor said the actress continues resting at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles where she was taken over two weeks ago suffering symptoms of congestive heart failure -- an ongoing problem for the Hollywood legend.
"Black Swan" sweeps independent film awards
LOS ANGELES - "Black Swan," a ballet melodrama that struggled to get made despite an A-list cast and director, swept the independent film world's version of the Oscars on Saturday, a day before it competes for five prizes at the Academy Awards. The film picked up four Spirit statuettes, including best feature and best female lead for Natalie Portman, who starred as a childlike ballerina consumed by fear and paranoia.
"The Last Airbender" crowned worst film at Razzies
LOS ANGELES - Action flick "The Last Airbender" and comedy "Sex and the City 2" earned the wrath of Razzie voters on Saturday in the annual Oscar spoof that spotlights Hollywood's worst performances. "Valentine's Day" stars Ashton Kutcher and Jessica Alba won Golden Raspberry Awards for worst actor and supporting actress. Kutcher was also pilloried for his work in another film, "Killers," and Alba for "Little Fockers," "The Killer Inside Me" and "Machete."
Charlie Sheen gives TV Interview to ABC
LOS ANGELES - Charlie Sheen has given his first television interview since production on his top-rated sitcom "Two and a Half Men" was halted by its makers earlier this week for the remainder of the current season. Sheen will appear with ABC News' Andrea Canning, in a special one-hour edition of "20/20" on Tuesday, March 1 at 10 p.m. est/7 p.m. pst.
