“I should have been a bookie. I could have won some money.
I haven’t congratulated Lupita yet. I was out taking a pee break so I missed her acceptance speech. But she doesn’t need me. She’s so happy already.”

I'm sorry but this is kinda tacky, no? I understood him not doing the full campaign due to filming but there's no excuse to be M.I.A. during your co-star's win. He seriously couldn't wait a few minutes then go pee? His comment that "she didn't need me, she seems happy" sounds like sour grapes or hurt feelings.

Ita! The BSA category was the most compelling this year and he couldn't hold it long enough to see her win...smdh. He's a sore loser - his previous statements about his snubs/not campaigning along with his award show absences and not being there for Lupita's win has shown this :(

He wasn't in his seat for John Ridley's category either. I really doubt this was a pointed snub of her. Maybe he just lost track of time.

I read that lots of stars spend a lot of time away from their seats during the ceremony due to the length of it. They go out and smoke, have a drink and go the bathroom.
It doesn't sound like sour grapes at all, especially since his dad already indicated that Michael didn't expect to win at all.

I do think the timing is a bit unfortunate, but then again this is the same actor who showed up for auditions on the wrong day.

Btw, what's this beef between McQueen and Ridley about? Does anyone know?

I can't believe how people are trying to pick apart everything that Fassy does. Now he can't even pee without a huge drama. I think he loves and supports Lupita. He probably tried to smash lol.

The Wrap and Indiewire have stories about the fight

After McQueen tapped Ridley to pen the adaptation on spec — and "had a hand in shaping" the final result, but was denied by the writer when he asked for a co-credit. Fox Searchlight sided with Ridley, and everyone involved agreed to keep the battle under wraps, but it has surfaced in recent weeks, starting at the BAFTAs where Ridley was excluded from McQueen's prepared speech. And while McQueen did mention the writer at the Golden Globes, it was a last minute reminder by a producer, reportedly to keep any notice of tension behind the scenes from affecting the Oscar campaign.

This screenwriter also had a huge fight over the director of Three Kings.

Thanks for the info. I could have sworn that I saw McQueen as a writer on the end credits of TYAS. I always thought that he did co-write the screenplay like he did with Shame. How odd. Didn't George Clooney also have major problems with David O. Russell on Three Kings? I heard he is quite notorious for being a major douche.

I didn't know anything about those tensions between Ridley and McQueen but I noticed last night that McQueen neither shook his hand nor hugged him when he won. Ridley went right past him. And also the entire speech, I believe, he didn't mention McQueen once. This all made me already wonder if there's something up. Now reading this I feel kinda confirmed.

He basically did. The original draft that leaked had both their names on it, if I recall correctly. This story has been a big discussion point among entertainment journalists on Twitter today. Two of them said that their sources said McQueen did do the the rewrites but doesn't have "proof" as in actual drafts because he's really computer illiterate.

The source is Sun, so probably BS.

It didn’t seem possible for life to get any sweeter for Oscar winner LUPITA NYONG’O.

But it has — she’s gone and nabbed herself MICHAEL FASSBENDER.

The 12 Years A Slave co-stars secretly dated last year and now we hear things are hotting up again.

The 'Shame' star is said to have been romancing his '12 Years A Slave' co-star on and off in recent months but he is now keen to show her he's "serious" about their relationship.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "They have an incredible connection after the whirlwind of filming '12 Years A Slave' and then promoting it together.

"In September during the Toronto Film Festival they had a brief romance. Now Michael is intent on showing how he wants to get serious again and made a point of bringing his mum Adele to the Oscars rather than a date.

"Lupita's the most in-demand woman in the world at the moment so it will be hard to make it work but their chemistry is undeniable."

Lupita, 31, grew close to 36-year-old Michael - who was previously in a relationship with Gerard Butler's ex-girlfriend Madalina Ghenea - when they
filmed the Oscar-winning biopic and she admitted they shared a "ritual" where they'd "look into each other's eyes" and an "embrace" to help them cope with the intensity of the scenes they were working on.

The screen beauty explained: "Michael and I had a ritual that we never even really spoke about - we would make nice right before a scene, and then we'd make nice after a scene.
"Just looking into each other's eyes, an embrace, a squeeze of the hands - that would button the scene.

"And at the end of the day when the director Steve McQueen said cut, we would go out and enjoy the freedom that these people we were playing has granted us.

"It was a very close-knit cast and crew."

Single Benedict Cumberbatch Takes Michael Fassbender To Oscars After Party Instead Of A Girlfriend, Single ’12 Years A Slave’ Stars Have A Boys’ Night
Out.

Benedict Cumberbatch and his “12 Years A Slave” co-star Michael Fassbender both appear to be single, so the friends had a boys' night and partied sans girlfriends at the AGO Oscars after-party after the awards ceremony.

Cumberbatch, 37, and Fassbender, 36, had a lot to celebrate – their film won Best Picture! Both actors have important supporting roles in "12 Years A Slave," with Ford playing a relatively benevolent slave owner who sells main character Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor) to Fassbender’s character, an unbearably cruel slave owner.

“12 Years A Slave” scored major acting nominations, but only Lupita Nyong’o took home the prize, a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as abused
slave Patsey. Fassbender and Ejiofor both scored nominations, Fassbender for Best Supporting Actor and Ejiofor for Best Actor, but lost out to “Dallas Buyers Club” actors Jared Leto (Best Supporting Actor) and Matthew McConaughey (Best Actor).

Entertainmentwise writes that Cumberbatch and Fassbender were joined at the after-party by their co-star Chiwetel Ejiofor, 36. Ejiofur brought his longtime girlfriend Sari Mercer as his Oscars date and also celebrated at the Governors Ball after-party.

After the boys’ night out, Cumberbatch was snapped leaving the AGO party with his publicist, Karon Maskill – no Oscar romance for him. Fassbender was also seen leaving the party alone, apparently single despite earlier rumors linking him to Gerard Butler’s ex-girlfriend, Madalina Ghenea.

In late 2013, Cumberbatch revealed that although he’s topped countless “Sexiest” polls, his fame actually makes it hard for him to get a date.

“It is harder [meeting women], because people think they know more about you than they actually do,” he told British GQ. “And you can’t control
that… you can’t control perceptions of you.”
