Adele wins an Academy Award for "Skyfall."

Adele wins the Oscar for Best Original Song, "Skyfall."

+ Congrats to Adele, who won the Oscar for Best Original Song for her James Bond "Skyfall" theme song, which she performed during the show. She also gave a touching acceptance speech, and she's halfway to scoring the EGOT! We'd be all about a Broadway musical starring Adele, just saying. (MTV News)

+ It was a music-oriented Academy Awards Sunday. Watch the tribute to movie musicals, with Catherine Zeta-Jones' slinky performance of "Chicago"'s "All That Jazz," Jennifer Hudson killing it with "Dreamgirls"' "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going," and the cast of "Les Miserables" closing out the set. (MTV News)

+ The legendary Dame Shirley Bassey also astounded at the Oscars with her 007 theme song, "Goldfinger," and Barbra Streisand paid tribute to composer Marvin Hamlisch during the "In Memoriam" montage with "The Way We Were." Both ladies received the standing ovations they deserved. (MTV News)

+ Oh dear. Kanye West is apparently not fond of Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake's "Suit & Tie," and he also reiterated his hate for the Grammys during his concert at London's Hammersmith Apollo on Saturday. Watch him performing "Clique" and then sounding off. (RapFix)

+ Though Yeezy may not be feeling Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake's recent collabo, we sure are excited for their upcoming tour. Dubbed the "Legends Of The Summer," the tour hits 12 stadiums and launches July 17 in Toronto and wraps in Miami on Aug. 16. (MTV News)

+ Watch two stirring One Direction charity PSAs that benefit the anti-famine organization Comic Relief. The PSAs show the bandmates visiting children with malaria in Accra, Ghana. Harry Styles and Liam Payne appear in one ad, and Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson the other. It moved them (and us) to tears. (Idolator)

Beasts Of The Southern Wild star Quvenzhané Wallis may not have won an Oscar (yet), but she has scored the starring role in the remake of the classic musical "Annie," which is being produced by Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Jay-Z. The film is slated for release next year. (MTV News)
