Jake Gyllenhaal in LA 1 March, behind the scenes at the Oscars, a little extra LAOD and SC science

After all that Oscar partying, there's only one thing for it: a full fry up (veggie, of course) with extra toast. Not surprisingly, then, Jake Gyllenhaal was seen at La Cienega Grill Café in LA yesterday lunchtime (1 March). There are more pictures at FYB.



At the Oscars, Jake presented the award for Best Live Action Short to Luke Matheny. for God of Love. The producer of that film, Stephen Dypiangco, has been talking about that magical evening: 'Stephen also recalled how Jake Gyllenhaal teased Luke when he was having his photo taken at the media room after the awards. According to Stephen, Jake told Luke, ‘Look at all these photographers. They are all your new friends!’" Stephen recalled that at one of the parties they went to, Luke saw Jake again. As Luke wanted to talk to Jake again, he followed him. "Since we, his entourage, were all following him, we followed Luke too. It turned out that Jake went to the men’s room. So suddenly, there was a long bee line outside the men’s room!" Stephen recalled, laughing.'

In this brief video below, you can see Jake, Luke and Amy Adams backstage.



Love and Other Drugs deleted scene

Hopefully, many of you now have the LAOD DVD or Blu-Ray. If you haven't, you can see one of the deleted scenes from it below, thanks to the NYP.



And finally...

The science of Source Code has a write up in Wired. It is very slightly spoilery so do consider that before you follow this link (although it does give fair warning).

The morning after - The Oscar recap featuring Jake Gyllenhaal, Amy Adams, Gwyneth Paltrow, Michelle Williams, Anne Hathway and a cast of thousands...

What a night. While I wait for the coffee to have some affect and contemplate where in the office might be the most suitable place for a discreet nap, there's time for a look at what was for me the highlight in a ceremony that went on for an extraordinary amount of time: the Jake Gyllenhaal Bit.


Jake and Amy Adams (a nominee herself and wearing an extremely long dress)presented the awards for Best Documentary Short Subject and Best Live Action Short Film. The latter went to Luke Matheny for 'God of Love'. He also got one of the biggest laughs of the night. "I should have gotten a haircut."


As for the important stuff - what Jake was wearing - we hear from JJ that 'Jake wore a black made-to-measure Salvatore Ferragamo tuxedo, with double breasted jacket and gros grain details, paired with a pair of black leather Tramezza lace-up shoes.'


As mentioned in last night's update, Jake was able to share a moment with nominee Michelle Williams as well as her partner for the evening Busy Philipps.




Jake was also photographed with another of his co-stars, Gwyneth Paltrow, who had some rather unsettling news for Jake... 'Gwyneth Paltrow, apparently a bit nervous about performing the Oscar-nominated song from "Country Strong," crossed paths with Jake Gyllenhaal, about 30 minutes before Sunday's show started. "Hey, I'm sitting right behind you," he said. "Oh good, I'll throw up on you then," she replied.'


At 5:07pm (still a long, long way to go): 'There's major mingling inside the theatre now. On one side, Colin Firth kisses Amy Adams on the cheek. In the centre, Hugh Jackman is shown to his front-row seat before bouncing away. On the other side, Jake Gyllenhaal greets Marisa Tomei and Hilary Swank. "We're sitting next to each other," Swank excitedly tell Gyllenhaal.' Lucky Hilary! There were some other familiar faces too.







As for the Oscars themselves, take a look here at the opening skit by James Franco an Anne Hathaway. It's a rusty version but well worth a look if you haven't seen it.



Many thanks to IHJ for these wonderful pictures - there are lots more there.
