You must be able to smell it - it's the smell of Oscar Fever. I saw a feature on the UK news today for Crazy Heart, which included an interview with Maggie Gyllenhaal and Jeff Bridges. It's hard to imagine just how they feel at the moment, but it's great to see that brother Jake Gyllenhaal has been caught up in the celebrations and is getting to do more than just provide pancake support. Thanks to a friend for sending in this scan from People of Jake, Maggie and Peter at a Crazy Heart party in LA on 15 February. I do believe Jake is enjoying a Proper Drink. (Unfortunately, People's editor didn't realise it's not the done thing to cut people in half.)
As part of the run up to the Oscars, Entertainment Weekly has been profiling the event. Thanks to regular WDW correspondent Elmo for my copy.
It seems impossible, but Jake looked just as hot rehearsing for the Oscars as he did walking the red carpet or presenting. In the scan below we see Jake with Bruce Vilanch, head writer for the Academy Awards, who, during rehearsals did fool the audience for a quite considerable amount of time... 'Head writer Bruce Vilanch -- known for his shaggy yellow hair, clever T-shirts and orb-like form --stood and said, "I'm Jake Gyllenhaal. That picture really changed my life.'' The room roared.'
Talking of celebrating, it never hurts to remind ourselves of a pre-Oscar party that Jake went to but can't actually remember. Uma Thurman can. Ang can too.
Includes pictures from IHJ. Thanks to BBMISwear for getting the EW off Elmo :-)

Hello! I hope everyone's having a good weekend - curling is back on the BBC. If I never see another broom again it will be too soon...
Laughing at this post...it's a unique one!! Can't stop looking at the Jake, Maggie, Peter & ??? picture. I love the scene - it looks to have been a good time!
I'm sick of curling and snow and winter in general. I am enjoying my day inside though! :-)

Oops.Sorry, I couldn't manage to make the link clickable.
mmmm Jake in a white shirt. ;)
aw Maggie and Peter are adorable.why aren't there more pics from that night? :((
Hey BBMISwear :-) Me too! The only good thing about the winter at the mo is the Olympics (not the curling, obviously...). This looks like such a fun evening! And Jake looks gorgeous :D
Hi Anon! Thanks for the heads up - I've updated the post :D
Hi Gretchen - Jake looks - well - wow!
Re recently added photo - He's doing a GQ photoshoot in and around the LES - so I think that pic comes from Katz's Deli and not from the set.
Thanks very much, Anon! That is GREAT news! What does LES mean?
Sorry, I think everyone knows every neighborhood in NYC. LES = Lower East Side.
LOL! I'm seeing the sightings on twitter as you're posting them here, WDW, and then seeing updates about your posts! My computer is on Jake Sighting Overload at the moment - ha ha!
Can't wait for the GQ photo spread. My only complaint: All dressed up again. Jake looks GREAT in nice white shirts and a tie but I'd like to nudge GQ to consider a photo shoot with Jake in more casual attire. Hey, maybe we'll get lucky and it will be an 8 page spread with dress clothes, casual clothes, a bathing suit, a bath towel... Okay, I'm getting carried away...it's 32 degrees in NYC right now so I doubt we'll see the bathing suit or bath towel shot.
Fun stuff...keep it coming! :-)
Thanks Anon! I'm good with London but lousy at NYC districts - thanks for the information.
It's all too much, BBMISwear :-) Jake is just cramming everything in - it's so exciting for him and for us. Good days! And for Maggie too.
Yeah, NYC in the winter isn't really conducive to steamy magazine spreads, but I hope they'll be more than the suit shots. I love Jake's hair here - looks amazing. I can't wait for the spread! I bet it'll coincide with PoP.
WHAT, Jake is on the LES (Lower East Side of Manhattan, fyi)!!!
SQUEE!!!! Is all I to say!! :D
Katz's Deli is a very old school type deli that is known for it's huge sandwiches and stuff. It has been in movies. http://www.katzdeli.com/
I will have to be on the lookout! :D :D
Thanks for the info and the great pics...adore seeing Jake with Maggie and Peter.
Hi Get Real! Posting at the same time - this is so exciting! Thanks so much for the extra info. Don't go anywhere without a camera! So great to see Jake with Maggie and Peter too :D
I finally got a chance to catch up on all this week`s posts after surviving the work week from hell. So much is happening in Gyllenland, thank you WDW for keeping up with everything. You`re gonna be as tired as Jake when POP reaches the theaters. :)
I never get tired of the pre-Oscar party pictures. Poor Ang! :D When do they announce this year`s Oscar presenters?
I`m not a curling fan but I like all the medals it gave Canada. :)
BBMISWear, are you gonna watch the hockey gold medal match? I hope our boys do as good as our girls against you guys. :)
Olympia
I meant hockey game, not match. Sometimes my brain confuses english and french. :)
Olympia
Hi Olympia! Good to see you - glad to see you're getting through the work from hell. I've had such a busy week too - it's good to relax today :D And glad you're enjoying catching up! It's true - we're gonna be worn out by June...
Those party pics are truly priceless - love em!
I'm watching the slalom now which makes a bit more sense...
I should move back up to NY cause look what I'm missing out on.
So the first pic is of Jake in NYC doing a GQ shoot. I'm trying to find out what he'll be wearing for Source Code? He he in a suit or casual attire (cause he can wear anything and look hot)
sweetpea
The look for Source Code seems to be great. I love the new haircut.
I don't know if it's true, but I read that the photos of pre-oscar were taken by Heath Ledger.
Thanks for all the other images and information.
On Tuesday afternoon, I went to the hospital suffering from gastritis. The pain was worse than that of last time.
Great day for Jake stuff! Even just little tid bits of Jake news can make my day (especially when looking for a distraction doing the weekend chores)!
Glad you survived the week, Olympia, did you see we were looking for you?! Oh yes, tomorrow afternoon, USA vs. Canada! As I've said before, here in New England is about as close to Canadian-Level Hockey Fanatics as you can get! My house got very loud a week or so ago when USA beat Canada in hockey...I think it's going to be even louder tomorrow (win or lose). *braces self* Those Canadian women hockey players are something, huh? Beer and Cigars and all - LOL!
In the meantime it would be nice to see pictures of Jake doing some wintery stuff once back in Montreal tomorrow (while we wait for the sexy GQ photo spread)!
Hope everyone's having a good weekend. Take care of yourself Monica!
:-)
LMAO at your curling comments. One of our reporters tried curling a few days ago. When she finished told the audience including me how hard it is to sweep the ice and move the stone...:lol
She got absolutely NO respect.
I adore the Jake pics of course. Maggie must be so excited. I'm missing Jake news and can't wait for POP.
xoxo from NYC
Morning all! Looks like Jake brought NYC to a stop yesterday! So a new post :D
Hi Sweetpea :)
I hope you feel better very soon Monica *)
Morning BBMISwear! :-) And as I write this they're now doing a review of the curling!! Aaagghhh - ice hockey talk.... I have managed to miss all of the ice hockey :D
Ooh I hope we get reports/pics from Montreal, I really do.
Hi there Sass in NYC! Yeah, that wouldn't impress me either. That curling has definitely put me off housework. Can't wait for PoP :)
Have a good Sunday everyone!
