The breathtaking movie star, who starred in such films as Moulin Rouge! and Eyes Wide Shut, was in the back seat of a car when she pulled up next to the tourists.

Instead of hiding behind tinted windows, she rolled down the window, poked her head out, and greeted the sightseers.

The women on the bus can be heard gasping in surprise before Kidman cheekily asks: “What are you doing on that bus?”

One woman can be heard saying “This is my dream come true!” while another person said “I loved you in ‘The Hours’”.

Two more people say “You’re so beautiful in person, I love you” and “You’re gorgeous!”

Kidman, with her blonde hair casually pulled back in a ponytail, mentions that she had not yet done her hair and makeup for the Academy Awards. She then says that she hopes the tourists will have a good time before blowing them some kisses and waving goodbye.

Both entertainers touched the world in different capacities and through different genres. Following the news of their deaths, celebrities shared their love and appreciation for their timeless work.

George A. Romero: 1940-2017

Romero died in his sleep following a battle with lung cancer, according to a statement from his manager, Chris Roe. He was 77.

“Legendary filmmaker George A. Romero passed away on Sunday July 16, listening to the score of ‘The Quiet Man,’ one of his all-time favorite films, with his wife, Suzanne Desrocher Romero, and daughter, Tina Romero at his side,” the statement read.

“He died peacefully in his sleep, following a brief but aggressive battle with lung cancer, and leaves behind a loving family, many friends, and a filmmaking legacy that has endured, and will continue to endure, the test of time.”

Much of the success of TV series such as The Walking Dead and movies like Shaun of the Dead are due in large part to Romero.

His 1968 black and white zombie cult classic, Night of the Living Dead, made $30 million. Not bad, considering it was shot in Pittsburgh on a budget of $114,000.

A decade later Romero returned to zombie fare with Dawn of the Dead, which made $55 million. He followed it with Day of the Dead in 1985 then resurrected the franchise with three more films in the late 2000s.

His impact on the horror genre reached countless people throughout his six decades of work including author and friend Stephen King who tweeted: “there will never be another like you.”

Sad to hear my favorite collaborator–and good old friend–George Romero has died. George, there will never be another like you.

— Stephen King (@StephenKing) July 16, 2017

Fellow directors sending love included Guardians of the Galaxy‘s James Gunn (who also wrote a lengthy appreciation on Facebook), Guillermo del Toro, Rob Zombie, Shaun of the Dead’‘s Edgar Wright, as well as Get Out helmer Jordan Peele and Eli Roth who both praised Romero’s groundbreaking casting of a black hero in Night of the Living Dead.

Romero used genre to confront racism 50 years ago. He always had diverse casts, with Duane Jones as the heroic star of NOTLD.

— Eli Roth (@eliroth) July 16, 2017

Very few others in cinema were taking such risks. He was both ahead of his time and exactly what cinema needed at that time.

— Eli Roth (@eliroth) July 16, 2017

You can trace a direct line from NOTLD to Get Out. And…Romero created the modern zombie. The infectious bite. Shoot the head. Everything.

I can’t believe George Romero has died. All the zombies owe him everything! He was the master.… https://t.co/e3m1JufEle

— Rob Zombie (@RobZombie) July 16, 2017

Romero has passed away. Hard to find words right now. The loss is so enormous.

— Guillermo del Toro (@RealGDT) July 16, 2017

RIP #GeorgeRomero. You made me want to make movies, and helped me to find meaning in monsters. Thank you. I love you.

Martin Landau: 1928-2017

Landau, 89, passed away on Saturday, July 15 at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles following “unexpected complications during a short hospitalization,” according to his publicist Dick Guttman.

“We are overcome with sadness,” added Guttman.

Arguably one of the busiest actors in Hollywood history, Landau’s career began in 1953 and continued right up until his death where he was involved with two projects currently pre-production.

In the 1960s he was part of the spy team on the TV series Mission: Impossible. His role as master of disguise Rollin Hand earned him a Golden Globe for lead actor in 1968.

Two decades later he earned his first two Oscar nominations for Best Supporting Actor for Francis Ford Coppola’s Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988) and Woody Allen’s Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989).

But it was his portrayal of aging horror star Bela Lugosi in Tim Burton’s Ed Wood that finally earned him actings top prize as he took home the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor at the 1995 Oscars. His co-star in that film, Patricia Arquette, remembered him on Sunday calling him a “talented, sweet generous actor.”

Working with Martin Landau on Ed Wood was a joy. What a talented, sweet generous actor. #RealDeal https://t.co/lXVGeTo6xd

— Patricia Arquette (@PattyArquette) July 17, 2017

Arquette wasn’t the only celebrity paying homage as stars such as Alec Baldwin, Avengers director Joss Whedon, Stranger Things actor David Harbour, Marlee Matlin, William Shatner and more celebrated his life and catalog of work which also included a memorable turn as a movie producer on the HBO series Entourage.

Had the honor of working w/ Martin Landau on Entourage years ago. Hes the definition of what a great actor is. Hes Given masterpieces 2 us.

— Jerry Ferrara (@jerryferrara) July 17, 2017

I grew up watching and admiring MARTIN LANDAU.
On my way to London to shoot MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, oddly enough.

— ABFoundation (@ABFalecbaldwin) July 17, 2017

Rest In Peace MARTIN LANDAU.
So great in CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS, ED WOOD.
Great in everything.

— ABFoundation (@ABFalecbaldwin) July 17, 2017

Crimes & Misdemeanors – these two as brothers, perfect. And the single take scene w/Angelica Huston in her apartment… RIP Martin Landau pic.twitter.com/qBhinnaHuq

— Joss Whedon (@joss) July 17, 2017

The great Martin Landau has died. Long time member of the actor’s studio and brilliant craftsman in our tradition. I will miss his work.

— David Harbour (@DavidKHarbour) July 17, 2017

So sad to read about the passing of Martin Landau. A great talent with a kind heart; always so warm to me. I will miss you. RIP.

— Marlee Matlin (@MarleeMatlin) July 17, 2017

RIP Martin Landau. “Crimes & Misdemeanors” 1 of my all time fav performances. Such versatility in his vast work. A simply wonderful actor.

— Ralph Macchio (@ralphmacchio) July 17, 2017

Condolences to the family of Martin Landau.

— William Shatner (@WilliamShatner) July 17, 2017

Ironically it appears that both Landau and Romero briefly worked together as comedian Patton Oswalt pointed out on Twitter. Romero worked as a page boy on Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest, which starred Landau.

Romero and Landau join the list of celebrities to pass away in 2017 which includes Mary Tyler Moore, Bill Paxton, Chuck Berry, Don Rickles, and Adam West.

Outside of that huge mishap, there were some monumental moments including Moonlight’s historic win for Best Picture. The indie drama became the first movie with an all-black cast to take the top prize, and it’s rising star, Mahershala Ali, became the first Muslim actor to win an Oscar, taking home Best Supporting Actor.

At 32, Damien Chazelle is the youngest filmmaker to win Best Director (for La La Land) and adored actresses Emma Stone and Viola Davis took home their first Oscars for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively.

That was what we saw on stage, but, as is the case with many awards ceremonies, there was as much action going on behind the scenes. And for that, we go to social media!

Oscar pals Brie Larson and Emma Stone

One of the most touching moments comes from Brie Larson. Last year’s Best Actress winner shared a snap on her Instagram of a teary-eyed embrace with this year’s winner, Emma Stone.

Finally, Jimmy Kimmel had fun on his talk show Monday night showing exactly what happened to the missing Best Picture envelope.

And you thought the ending to the Super Bowl was exciting?

“There’s a mistake. Moonlight, you guys won Best Picture,” said La La Land producer Jordan Horowitz on stage when the mistake was discovered. “I’m gonna be really proud to hand this to my friends from Moonlight,” he added.

Beatty also took the microphone at the Dolby Theatre to announce how such a blunder was made. “I want to tell you what happened,” he explained. “I opened the envelope and it said Emma Stone, La Land. That’s why I took such a long look at Faye and at you. I wasn’t trying to be funny.”

Horowitz didn’t leave with the Oscar but he did receive plenty of praise for the way in which he handled the situation, including kind words from his competition, Barry Jenkins – producer and director of Moonlight.

Jordan Horowitz. Wow. I’m slipping slowly into reflection, perspective. Much respect to that dude

— Barry Jenkins (@BandryBarry) February 27, 2017

Host Jimmy Kimmel jokingly took full blame for the mistake during the ceremony, but PricewaterhouseCoopers, the accountants responsible for overseeing the results, later explained what happened in statement, which read:

We sincerely apologize to ‘Moonlight,’ ‘La La Land,’ Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, and Oscar viewers for the error that was made during the award announcement for Best Picture. The presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope and when discovered, was immediately corrected. We are currently investigating how this could have happened, and deeply regret that this occurred. We appreciate the grace with which the nominees, the Academy, ABC, and Jimmy Kimmel handled the situation.

Horowitz also found a way to put a positive spin on the messy mishap. “I got to thank my wife and my son, so it’s all good,” he told NBC News.

Before the Best Picture shock, all the other major awards were awarded as expected. Moonlight’s Mahershala Ali won Best Supporting Actor and Viola Davis nabbed her first Oscar on her third try for Supporting Actress in Fences.

“People ask me all the time, what kind of stories do you want to tell, Viola? And I say, exhume those bodies, exhume those stories, the stories of the people who dreamed,” Davis said in her acceptance speech.

“I became an artist, and thank god I did, because we are the only profession that celebrates what it means to live a life. So here’s to August Wilson, who exhumed and exalted the ordinary people, she added.”

In the one category that seemed up for grabs, Casey Affleck won Best Actor for Manchester by the Sea and La La Land was also represented on stage.

The film won six of its record-tying 14 nominations, including statues for Best Original Score and Song, Best Director for 32-year-old Damien Chazelle (the youngest recipient in Oscars history) and Best Actress for Emma Stone.

“To our whole crew, everyone that put their heart and souls into this film, I’m going to find you all individually and I’m going to thank you, along with my friends who I love so much, I’m going to hug the hell out of you when feeling reenters my body,” Stone said in her acceptance speech.

“I still have a lot of growing and learning and work to do and this guy [Oscar trophy] is a really beautiful symbol to continue on that journey and I’m so grateful for that,” she added.

The post “Moonlight” Tops “La La Land” for Best Picture in Awkward On Stage Oscars Mishap appeared first on Positive Celebrity News, Good Celebrity Gossip, Positive Entertainment News | Good Celebrity.

A throwback to classic musicals like Singin’ in the Rain and An American in Paris, the film scored a record, tying 14 nominations including slots in the five major categories: Best Picture, Best Director (Damien Chazelle), Best Original Screenplay (Chazelle), Best Actor (Ryan Gosling), and Best Actress (Emma Stone).

Two songs from the picture (“City of Stars” and “Audition (The Fools Who Dream)”) were also recognized in the Best Original Song category.

The Oscars were accused in recent years for it’s lack of diversity (remember #OscarSoWhite?) but this year a wide array of talented filmmakers, actors, and actresses received nominations.

Notable nods include: Fences, Lion, Hidden Figures, and Moonlight for Best Picture, Denzel Washington (Fences), Ruth Negga (Loving) , Mahershala Ali (Moonlight), Dev Patel (Lion), Viola Davis (Fences), Octavia Spencer (Hidden Figures), and Naomie Harris (Moonlight) in acting categories and Moonlight’s Barry Jenkins for director.

Golden Globe Best Picture winners La La Land and Moonlight are expected to be the top contenders for Best Picture along with Manchester by the Sea. The three movies are among nine pictures competing for the best film of the year.

As always, there are plenty of snubs and surprises. Among those missing out this year are Amy Adams (Arrival) for Best Actress, Martin Scorsese (Silence) and Clint Eastwood (Sully) for Best Director and Tom Hanks (Sully) for Best Actor.
