He wasn't in the official running at this year's Golden Globes—for some reason, playing a glittery emo vampire never seems to net those coveted nominations; we smell an elitist conspiracy!—but Robert Pattinson still made a command appearance on the stage at last night's ceremony. The actor was at the podium to present the award for Best Adapted Screenplay alongside Amanda Seyfried, where he looked confident and handsome in a slim suit and skinny tie, and hey wait a minute. Haven't we seen this before?

AHA. It's deja vu, all right; this is the same setup we saw four years ago, when Robert's up-and-coming Hollywood star status was officially cemented with a presenter's spot (also with Amanda) at the Academy Awards. Aww! Memories! And man, what a difference four years makes; where 2009 saw the actor fumbling for words on the red carpet and fretting over his responsibilities, his appearance last night was the very definition of poised. Even his hair looked more relaxed.

Jennifer Lawrence and the rest of her "Silver Linings Playbook" cast are the toast of Tinseltown this week with their eight Oscar nominations (including nods for Jennifer, Bradley Cooper, Robert De Niro and Jackie Weaver), but when we caught up with the starlet at last night's Critics' Choice Awards, the one thing we wanted to talk about was our hunger. Our hunger for "Catching Fire," that is. And as Jennifer told it, filming on the sequel was much more rigorous than the first go-around.

"This one was harder," she admitted. "There were a lot more six-day weeks, and the schedule was exhausting, [but] it's so fun to get back with everybody, the same crew and obviously Josh [Hutcherson]. And [director] Francis [Lawrence] is such a visionary. I think he's doing an incredible job."

Y'know, we were just thinking yesterday that it had been far too long since we sent our own Josh Horowitz to torment some hapless celebrity with an on-the-spot free-association challenge of psychological fitness...and then, like magic, the newest edition of After Hours featuring Hollywood star and incomparably good sport Emma Stone suddenly appeared like a gift from the internet gods. Hooray! And if you enjoy these occasional goof-offs between our intrepid interviewer and his famous friends, you'll love this one —in which Emma emotes to photos of everything from a burger to her boyfriend.

The game is played thusly: Josh holds up a picture, and Emma has to express her feelings about whatever she sees. And while things got off to a slow start, it wasn't long before the "Gangster Squad" actress was doing an impromptu performance of a One Direction song, talking about her new favorite meme-generating applications, or enthusiastically complimenting her interviewer on his extreme handsomeness...albeit while refusing to look him in the eye. (Our personal favorite: the scrunched-up face she makes in response to a photo of "Spider-Man" co-star and real-life boyfriend Andrew Garfield. Worth a thousand words, that one.)

Nina DobrevLight the candles and mix up the Funfetti, y'all: It's Nina Dobrev's birthday! The willowy star of "The Vampire Diaries" turns 24 today, which means cake and presents and celebrations galore...but it also means that she's got only one year left before she's scheduled for the traumatically trendy horror of a quarter-life crisis. (All the kids are doing it these days.)

So while you sing the birthday song to Miss Dobrev—you are singing, right?—we've put together a sampling of things for her to cross off her bucket list over the next year, to maximize her chances of hitting the big two-five with regrets numbering ZERO. And here it is! Without further ado...

If that headline didn't tell you everything you need to know about "The Hunger Games" star Josh Hutcherson, here are a few more gems you will glean from watching the latest edition of After Hours entitled "Sensitive Guys 101":

Josh will bake you a black currant pie when you're glum. Josh cries at least two times a day. Josh would never cut in line. So, basically, he's our dream boyfriend 47 times over.

Click on the video above to get all the swoons (and make sure your own BF is in the room so he can take notes...)

Have you been watching "Downton Abbey" on repeat (ahead of Sunday’s highly anticipated season three premiere) and thinking to yourself: "Why does Branson, the show’s dishy, bad-boy chauffeur, remind me of someone? There’s just something about him that is so familiar..."

Well, pop-culture fanatics, we have and we know who it is that we think—actually, know—he looks like.

That’s right, the easy-on-the-eyes actor who plays Branson (his real name is Allen Leech, FYI) looks uncannily like One Direction singer/heartthrob Niall Horan. Don’t believe us? We’ve even put photos of them side by side to prove just how right we are about this one.

Can it be? Is Christmas really over? Though the calendar reads "December 26," you don't need to pack up the lights and put the figgy pudding on ice just yet. After all, we have yet to check in with Hollywood's hottest to see how they spent the holidays! From volunteering to trimming the tree to Santa Claus role-playing (yes, you read that right), our favorite stars embraced the Christmas spirit with rosy cheeks and hearts full of love. So pour yourself another helping of eggnog and check out our run-down (or else you might just find a marauding band of reindeer at your door...) Merry Christmas!

There are few things that get our bells ringing quite like celebrating the season with friends, and that's just what "High School Musical" co-stars Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale did. Ashley took to Instagram to share a pic of the Disney duo decking the halls on Christmas Eve. "Santa's Lil helpers. Decorating with @vanessahudgens and Austin #christmas #besties," she wrote. We're guessing there weren't many Troy Bolton ornaments to be found...

So, check this: All this time that we've been fantasizing about how much we'd love to occupy the lives of our favorite "Les Miserables" movie stars? Turns out that they've been fantasizing, too—about taking over the lives of a favorite pop star for a day (or even longer! There's some borderline obsession going on here, yo.) When MTV News' Josh Horowitz asked the cast which musician they'd love to trade places with, every single one of them had a response ready to go.

For instance: This clearly isn't the first time Hugh Jackman has thought about how much he'd like to be the iconic pop musician, Sting.

"He's so damn cool," Hugh enthused, "and his voice gets better with age...and have you seen this guy's houses? This guy knows how to live!"

And it all comes full circle. If you're an avid viewer of Josh Horowitz's web series After Hours, you may know that the debut of its "The Yes/No Show" segment featured "Adjustment Bureau" stars Matt Damon, Emily Blunt and an uncomfortable question about Ben Affleck's, uh, little Affleck. Well, we've once again cornered Matt, this time with Emily's sweetheart John Krasinski, who stars alongside Matt in the upcoming "Promised Land," opening in limited release December 28.

And despite Matt's disbelief that we're still doing this, the queries were more bizarre than ever. (How do you like them apples, Damon?) If you've ever wondered whether John has peed in Matt's shower, if Emily talks about Josh all the time, or if Matt's gone "Gangnam Style," you best get to clicking on the clip.

FROM NEXTMOVIE: Well this...stinks.

Ever wondered what the conclusion to "The Twilight Saga" would look (...and sound..and smell) like with more flatulence? Yeah, us neither. But our weird friends at NextMovie have, and they knew just the scene in which to let the ol' whoopee cushion rip. (Don't pretend you didn't ask Bella to take a whiff, Jacob!)
