TMZ covers the Academy Awards and why the Academy didn't mention Brad Renfro during "In Memoriam"; Tilda Swinton lets random people hold her Oscar; Sean Penn is dating Petra Nemcova; an Oscar winner gets into a car crash, hours after winning the award; and how former members of the Israeli...

Swinton has been nominated to the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her performance as Karen Crowder, a ruthless corporate attorney in Tony Gilroy's film Michael Clayton. (edit) Tilda was a member of the jury of the 2004 Cannes Film Festival. (edit) Tilda's family is one of the oldest in Scotland. (edit) Tilda's husband John also had a small role in Orlando in which Tilda appaers as the main character. (edit) She dabbled in classic stage productions such as "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "The Duchess of Malfi" and "The Comedy of Errors" before entertaining her passion for the decidedly weird. (edit)

Tilda Swinton: I think I enjoy my work now even more simply because it's even easier than it was. It sounds sacrilegious to say that anything's a delight when you're away from your children, but the truth is that it is refreshing to only have yourself to dress in the morning, and to lie diagonally across the bed. Making films, going round the world on tour - all these crazy things that were so difficult before are so much easier than breastfeeding twins for 14 months that frankly it is a delight. (edit) Tilda Swinton: You're always playing yourself. It's all autobiography, whatever you're doing. It's using them as a kind of prism through which to throw something real about yourself, or something relaxed at least. Because the last thing you want is to look like you're acting. (edit) Tilda Swinton: I sometimes think I was always left-wing. I know that sounds completely crazy, but I do know that I asked questions when I was about four, and I remember noticing that I wasn't getting an answer, and I remember it annoying me. Like why when we went to church on Sunday were we sitting upstairs and the people we'd been playing with the day before were sitting downstairs. And I noticed that my brothers were not asking these questions. I was aware that I was being embarrassing. (edit) Tilda Swinton: There's such an effort to try and explain people. (edit) Tilda Swinton: I don't work the future - I don't want to know what's coming. I don't feel I need any guarantees. (edit)
