Watch Adele, The Les Miserables Cast And More Perform At The OscarsThere were a whole lot of musical moments to take up time onstage (and make it so people like the Best Visual Effects winners got played off by the Jaws music). There was Adele, there was Barbra, there was Shirley Bassey… and somehow in that mix there was Russell Crowe, the actor famously mocked for his singing in Les Miserables.

For Your Consideration: Les Miserables Is The Big, Emotional Film That Deserves Best PictureLes Miserables is the kind of musical that drives non-fans batty, but if you're watching this movie wondering why people are singing everything, you're genuinely missing the point.

Anne Hathaway's Les Miserables Performance Gets An Oscar Campaign ParodyAnne Hathaway's been collecting statues for her role as Fantine in Les Miserables, and if you've seen Tom Hooper's feature adaptation of the stage musical, it's likely that you understand why she's been praised so highly for her performance as the tragic character, a woman who turns to prostitution to support her child. Those who would suggest that there's virtually no way to find any humor in Hathaway's performance have underestimated the internet, as evidenced by this parody video. ...by Kelly West | published: 2013-01-29 18:58:44comments
