Back in February, ShowbizMonkeys.com was once again invited to hit up the red carpet at the Academy Awards. But just like last year, we weren't given access for the official pre-show arrivals. That didn't stop us from seeing a few stars and getting to ask a few questions, though. We sent Aaron Merke, a former Genius Monkey Award winner, down to Los Angeles to get the Oscar scoop for us. Due to a rift in the space-time continuum, we didn't receive his report until now -- but hopefully you'll find it was worth the wait.

Be sure to watch right until the end, where Aaron managed to catch a hugely popular but controversial Hollywood superstar!
