Noted Marin resident/incendiary actor, Sean Penn, and noted tsunami survivor/Russian Czech model, Petra Nemcova, noticeably attended last night's Academy Awards show together. It is presumed that the two of them have had sexual intercourse with each other. There. Happy now?......

Lewis by REUTERS/Lucas Jackson; Google Trends by SFist Last night, around 10 p.m. after the Academy Awards, the world was concerned about three things: the Oscar-winning documentary Freeheld, a piano-playing pop/rock singer-songwriter, and Daniel Day Lewis' sexuality. We're guessing no. 3 had something to do with Lewis' decision to sport earrings on both ears. Or how he did his hair. Or both.......

It's almost Academy Awards® time and whether or not the writers will still be on strike, it seems that each year the movies are less and less relevant to the show itself. Between the Valentino dresses, Armani suits and pregger rumors, we feel Oscar® (or at least media coverage) has lost its focus. Enter Magnolia Pictures and Shorts International and their Indie Movie-loving glory: they're teaming to showcase this year's Academy Award nominated short......

The Orphanage -- A New Film From Spain...

-- Cinewhores Present Midnight Cowboy (1970): Although tame by today's smut-filled standards -- oh, you heard right! -- Midnight Cowboy has the distinction of being the only X-rated film to have ever snagged the Best Picture at the Academy Awards. The film -- about the friendship between Joe, a rookie New York City hustler, and Ratso, a terminally-ill New Yorker -- is prefaced by a reading by queer author Kirk Read. (Oh, and Sylvia......

-- Giants vs. Brewers: Shouldn't beer be half-priced when we play Milwaukee? Alas. Game starts at 7:15 p.m., AT&T Park, King and Third Streets; $20-$98. -- Graphic Content -- T-Shirt Exhibit: DJ Centipede operates the decks while you buy a nifty one-of-a-kind shirt. Wee! Reception starts at 7 p.m. at Space Galley, 1141 Polk. -- Maureen McVerry: Cabaret star (and one-time Full House guest star according to her IMDB profile) sings songs saluting love......

Hooray to us! We have now officially flogged the Gavin Newsom & Sofia Milos thing to death. But hey, we got in the paper of record -- thanks, Swells! We'd like to thank everyone who made this possible, including SFist Jon, who came up with the naming contest idea in the first place. And the winner of the First Annual Name That Newsom Couple is...... CSI Plumpjack!!!! Congratulations, commenter Dave! We'll be getting in touch with you to get your address to send you some fine, fine SFist swag. Looks like we should have had one extra entry, though -- the hot, hot name of "Milos + Guest." Leah Garchik reports that Getty Images has a picture of CSI: Plumpjack up on its site, with the caption "Actress Sofia Milos + guest arrive at Elton John's Academy Awards party." Is Getty Images affiliated with the same Gettys that funded Newsom's campaign? Are those checks made out to "plus Guest" as well? And finally, yesterday's Two Cents featured the question: "Would you rather read about Newsom's love life or potholes?" Is the Chron so hard-pressed for newsprint that there isn't room in the paper for both? Photo of "Sofia Milos + guest" by David Livingston, from Getty Images...

Saturday: We're heading over to the Pacific Film Archive for the Women of Color Film Festival. We're especially interested in the documentary feature Who Killed Vincent Chin?, A documentary about a Chinese American man mistaken for Japanese and beaten to death by unemployed white auto workers, who were convicted with the lightest possible sentences. See the complete schedule here. Sunday: It's the Oscars, bitches! You want to know how seriously we take the Academy......

There's really only one TV show to talk about this week and we all know what that is. "America's Next Top Model" winner Eva Pigford is going to be on "Kevin Hill" tonight! And then there's something called The Academy Awards on this Sunday. Ahh. We kid. (Or pray at the Church of Ironic Detachment, take your pick.) Of COURSE TV is all about the Oscars this week. We won't talk about the nominees......

The Dave Eggers publishing venture McSweeney's, their Icelandic printer, and the Eggers family house band are sponsoring America's first Icelandic film festival this week (on Friday and Saturday) at the Castro. Bjork will not be acting in any of these films (though she makes an appearance in one of the documentaries) -- but all the films have won numerous Edda awards (Iceland's Academy Awards -- who knew the word "Edda" was used outside a crossword......
