The 17th Annual Webby Awards went down last night at Wall Street's cavernous Cipriani's. Hosted by Patton Oswalt, the ceremony featured a performance by Tanlines, who played their song "All Of Me," as well as the presentation of awards to the previously-announced winners, including Frank Ocean and Grimes. Ocean was unable to attend, so he accepted via video while Grimes's was given to her by a fawning Fred Armisen. Watch Tanlines' performance and check out Ocean and Grimes accepting their awards below. Read More...

Remember, back in April, when Patton Oswalt broke the Internet with his eight-minute "Episode VII" filibuster on the set of "Parks and Recreation"? Last weekend, Melbourne-based animator Isaac Moores released his cartoon dramatization of Oswalt's fan boy outtake. He even managed to slip a few shots of The Silver Samurai in there. (SFW.) Moores is already hitting up Twitter for his next project: What should my next video be? Face Folding Ep 2? Another Pop-Culture mash up? Has anyone made a speech that needs an animation? — Isaac Moores (@izacless) [...]

On the next episode of Parks and Recreation, actor Patton Oswalt guest stars as a man attempting to filibuster a city council vote. That is, however, not how it all goes down. Instead, he gives an incredible 8-minute improvised plot proposal for the upcoming film, Star Wars: Episode VII. His pitch ties the Star Wars universe together with greek gods and Marvel superheroes. You can catch the special hour long episode on Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 9/8c.

In an online promo for Thursday night's episodes of "Parks and Recreation," one of NBC's YouTube channels posted an eight-minute outtake of stand-up champ Patton Oswalt, going on an eight-minute rant about what should be the plot for "Star Wars: Episode VII." Albeit no mention of Corey Feldman as Han Solo's kinfolk, Oswalt stretches crossover fan boy fiction to such an extreme that, well, actually come to think of it, his super-sized narrative seems pretty realistic. That is, if CGI for Colossus isn't too expensive (wait for it), there's little [...]

On this Thursday's Parks and Recreation, Patton Oswalt plays a Pawnee resident who filibusters a city counsel vote. Producers asked him to ramble for about eight minutes of footage on whatever subject he wanted. He choose Star Wars and the producers decided to release the unedited footage ahead of this week's episode. It's called a win-win people.  [via AICN ]

See the actor improvise for nine minutes on tomorrow's episode.

Monday afternoon comedian Patton Oswalt set out to make some sense of the tragic Boston Marathon bombing . With no suspects having been taken custody and the perpetrators still a nameless, faceless force of evil, Patton found his way to an inspiring mission statement about humanity, and how even in tragic times we can take comfort in the fact that far more of us want to do good than harm. He set out to prove, at least philosophically, that people are fundamentally good. And he would have done it, too, if it hadn't been for [...]

Can you think of any way to spend a Saturday afternoon that's more fun than in a crowded Castro Theatre with everyone's favorite stoner and funny man Doug Benson making snide and silly comments over some of pop culture's most fun (and fun to trash) films? I couldn't either. Announce that, among films like Anaconda, [...] The post Sketchfest Review: The Doug Benson Movie Interruptions: Twilight at the Castro Theatre, 2/9/2013 appeared first on Spinning Platters .
