Birdman News
“Birdman,” named Best Picture at Sunday’s Academy Awards, is returning to theaters in a big way.
Fox Searchlight said Monday that it will have the dark comedy in more than 1,000 theaters this weekend. Directed by Alejandro G. Inarritu, the film also won a Best Director Oscar.
Re-releasing the film is a bold play by distributor Fox Searchlight, because it became available on DVD and On-Demand last week.

Just because Boyhood didn’t win Best Picture last night doesn’t mean its Oscar hopes are over. Remember, The Lord of the Rings didn’t win Best Picture on its first try, either, but after two sequels, Peter Jackson’s series received the honor. Maybe we just need to wait for Boyhood 3? Of course, given the way the first one was shot, it would probably take a quarter of a century to see that happen.
Or maybe not.

Fox News contributor Stacey Dash didn’t take kindly to Oscar winner Patricia Arquette demanding wage equality for women while accepting her first Oscar on Sunday.
“I was appalled. I could not believe it,” Dash, a former actress, said on “Fox & Friends” Monday morning. “First of all, Patricia Arquette needs to do her history. In 1963, [President] Kennedy passed an equal pay wall. It’s still in effect.

Not many of us can relate to Riggan Thomson’s exact predicament, because not many of us got world-famous playing avian heroes. But you know who can? Caroll Spinney, the puppeteer behind Big Bird, in this pitch-perfect spoof of Alejandro González Iñárritu‘s Birdman.
Big Birdman: The Unexpected Virtue of Orange Pants follows Spinney as he asks himself questions like “How did we get here?” and gets advice from a certain giant bird. Watch the Sesame Street Birdman parody after the jump.
