Rock Meets Comedy at the Oscar GBK Lounge

Welcome to Young Hollywood. It's Oscar week and you know what that means: gifting sweets galore. I'm Tatianna Diane, here to check out the GBK Lounge. It's the happiest time of the year, awards season.

Yeah, it is.

How are you doing?

I'm good. I'm going to accept my Oscar but I'm going to keep my speech down to 30 seconds.

Do you prepare speeches ahead of time when you're nominated for things? Everyone says that they don't.

Usually I do, but everyone, every other year I don't.

So what are you up to lately?

Um, just finishing a Cheech and Chong tour, and then I'm going to go uh, sit and be lazy for a little while.

I love that. And anybody you're rooting for in the Oscars this year?

I would like to see uh, The Social Network win uh Best Picture.

Well, that's perfect because there's actually a Social Network actor in there, so you can go tell him yourself. Oh my gosh. So how are you doing?

Good, I'm good. I'm in town, just across the street actually doing Rock of Ages for the last couple of weeks and I'm really excited about that.

I'm going to tell you.

Well, thank you, thank you. It's been exciting being here.

So for people who don't know what the show's about, tell me in a nutshell.

Uh Rock of Ages. It's um, you know, boy meets girl love story, you know, they meet on the Sunset Strip uh trying to pursue their dreams.

Like our love story.

Exactly. I think that's exactly what happened to us.

So who are you rooting for in the Oscars? Any movie that you just really loved this year?

You know, I'm a big Coen Brothers fan. Just loved the remake of True Grit and uh King's Speech was beautiful, great performances. I'm really looking forward to James Franco and Anne Hathaway hosting. That's going to be a lot of fun. They're young and they're fun. I think it's going to be great. They're going to they're going to they're going to kill it and it's going to be awesome.

So, you've actually been nominated for an Oscar before. What goes on in your mind as a nominee?

Well, the anticipation is just fine. What am I going to wear that is uh for me that is a mixture of elegance and a little talk.

Stunning.

Thank you. And comfort, I mean, because because it's a long, long night.

Anybody that you're rooting for this year?

I think we should just look at Oscar weekend as a weekend just to celebrate excellence. Not only the people that are being recognized but everybody in the business. I mean it's amazing that we're all still here. You know, so I think it's just it's a time to party.

One of the funniest guys alive. How are you?

That's what I call myself. I'm fine. This is nice. It's a It's it's wonderful. I've got some moisturizer on my face. I just had a chocolate.

You look so refreshed.

Do I? Do I look younger already? I'm excited for my friends. Uh you know, Jesse Eisenberg. He's a He's he's just great. Aaron Sorkin, a lovely man. I met him on set and I just hope they win on Sunday. It's good to be a part of a Oscar nominated film. Social Network was brilliantly done and um I'm just happy to be a part of it in some way. It's happening. Constantine Maroulis here. Rock of Ages for uh Young Hollywood. Check it out.
