Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Sally Field Oscars 2013: A ‘Mom’s’ Quick Fix For The Show’s First Timer (PHOTO)

By The Huffington Post News Editors

What goes around comes around: A month and a half after Joseph Gordon-Levitt resourcefully fixed Anne Hathaway’s dress, Sally Field came to his rescue tonight (Feb. 24) and helped him with his bow tie.

JGL uploaded this adorable photo of himself with Best Supporting Actress nominee Field (“Lincoln”) to his Tumblr blog and wrote “Sally did indeed know how to tie a bow tie! I thought she would. #Oscars.” In “Lincoln,” JGL plays Field’s son, so all of this makes perfect sense.

Levitt is a special guest in tonight’s Oscar ceremony, his first time appearing on the show. He’ll be joined by fellow first-timers Channing Tatum and Daniel Radcliffe.

Post 50 Actors Who Have Never Won Oscars

By The Huffington Post News Editors

The Academy Awards are right around the corner, and we couldn’t be more excited about the prospect of prior Oscar winners like Denzel Washington, Robert De Niro and Sally Field adding another golden statue to their collection.

That being said, there is a surprisingly extensive list of acclaimed post 50 actors who have never received Hollywood’s most coveted award, despite having been in the field for quite some time. For example, did you know that 65-year-old Glenn Close has never won an Oscar, even after being nominated six times?

Below we have compiled a list of post 50 actors who — much to our surprise — have never won Academy Awards. What actors are you surprised have never won? Let us know in the comments section.

3 new Lincoln movies

By hnn

Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg’s frequent collaborator, snags himself a seat on Mr. Spielberg’s bandwagon on Sunday when he turns up as the narrator of “Killing Lincoln,” a docudrama on the National Geographic Channel.
If Mr. Spielberg’s “Lincoln” achieves greatness largely through the detailed performances of Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field and others, “Killing Lincoln” also has details to recommend it — historical details, the kind of tidbits that (along with Mr. Hanks’s assured narration) can hold your attention, even though the tale is familiar.
Killing Lincoln,” based on the book by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard, puts its focus just where the title suggests: on the final days of Lincoln’s life and the pursuit of those behind the assassination. And yes, for anyone who can’t get enough of the 16th president, on Sunday it will be possible to arrange a Lincoln trifecta, seeing “Lincoln,” Salvador Litvak’s new film; “Saving Lincoln” (about the president’s bodyguard); and “Killing Lincoln” in a single day. Happy belated birthday, Abe.
