Goldie Hawn has fond memories of working with longterm partner Kurt Russell on Overboard because their son took his first steps on the movie set.

The Private Benjamin star began dating Russell in 1983 after they co-starred in Swing Shift, and they have become one of the few Hollywood couples whose romance has stood the test of time.

They welcomed son Wyatt in 1986 and Hawn reveals their second film project together, 1987's Overboard, was extra-special.

Speaking on Britain's The One Show, she says, "It was fun doing that together, but that was our second movie...

They have a right to be pissed.

It's the most important morning of the year. Hollywood is temporarily jolted from its stupor for a ten-minute rollercoaster of natural highs and shattered dreams. Nothing but ... shattered dreams.

It's those shattered dreams that immediately become the focus after the Oscar nominations are announced. With only five slots per category, deserving actors are excluded, and that's when the fun begins, as the discussion about the "snubs" commences.

That was especially true this year, as a flurry of serious contenders were nowhere to be found. Charlize Theron, Tilda Swinton, Leonardo Dicaprio, and Albert Brooks were the names most bandied about, along with Andy Serkis (and they should really either nominate him, or give him a special Oscar for his unique contributions to film.)

Of course, Oscar has a history of overlooking interesting and memorable performances. Let's take a look at a few notable Oscar omissions. »
