Culture: The football superstar married the supermodel. Obviously.

  • Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen. Married. The couple exchanged vows last night in a “secret” ceremony at a Catholic church, which probably was a pain to get to because, seriously, how often do people get married on a random Thursday? Just sayin’. In case you forgot, Brady is the QB for the New England Patriots who was out this year due to injury, and Bundchen is the Brazillian model who’s currently wallpapering thousands of Windows desktops worldwide. source

TV.com is no Hulu, but the CBS-focused competitor does have shows from CBS, the CW and Showtime. The gauntlet has been thrown, Hulu. Get on it, duders. source

Culture: Chris Brown: “Erased” from a trailer, in anger management

  • Sounds like someone had a PR nightmare. Brown, arrested for allegedly roughing up Rihanna, is in a film called “Bone Deep,” out in 2010. His co-star is T.I., who will likely be in jail when the flick comes out. But T.I. wasn’t taken out of the ads. Brown was. (He still remains in the film itself.) Also, Brown started anger management on Monday, which isn’t required but he hopes will improve his public image. Yeah. About that image … source

Culture: Our quick little attempt at Oscar analysis

  • The quirky winners “Wall-E” and “Man on Wire” handily won in their respective categories, Best Animated Feature and Best Documentary. Both had great reviews. Both should have been nominated in the larger categories, like “Best Picture.” One day, Pixar will get a “Best Picture” nod. And we will cheer. source

  • The acting categories You could see the winners coming from a mile away. Heath Ledger won his category a year ago. Kate Winslet won hers a month ago. Penelope Cruz was kind of a shoo-in, too. The only really competitive contest? Best Actor, where it seemed Mickey Rourke and Sean Penn both had a shot. (Penn won.) source

  • Upset of the night In the foreign language category, the frontrunner seemed to be “Waltz with Bashir,” an Israeli documentary with breathtaking use of Flash and traditional animation. It had some pretty awesome reviews and still has some strong buzz. But, sadly, it lost to Japanese film “Departures.” source

Culture: Oscar quote of the night: Best Actor, Sean Penn

  • You commie homo-loving sons of guns. I did not expect this, and I wanted to be very clear that I do know how hard I make it to appreciate me, often. But I am touched by the appreciation.
  • Sean Penn • on winning the best actor award for “Milk.” OK, it wasn’t as good as Mickey Rourke’s speech last night, but we’ll give him credit for saying something funny. • source

Culture: Let’s hope Mickey Rourke wins tonight so he does this again

  • He is one tough son of a &(%^* and he don’t like it when I say that ’cause he goes, ‘Mickey, you’ll scare all the other actors away from me.’ But Darren, you know what, if they ain’t got the balls to bring it, then &*^& ’em, you know.
  • Mickey Rourke • discussing “The Wrestler” director Darren Aronofsky during his best actor acceptance speech at the Independent Spirit Awards last night. Rourke’s lengthy rant also included odes to his dead Chihuahua and a plea to give Eric Roberts a second chance, too. He’s up for a best actor Oscar tonight, too. • source
