Here's the full explanation, perezcious readers!! Yay!

We got a taste of it earlier this week, but now Melissa McCarthy has sat down with Ellen and explained exactly how her husband surprised her with the Oscar nod.

Then we learn about her reaction, and it's all just a very beautiful thing. Why? Because Melissa deserves the nod more than a lot of people, and we honestly weren't sure if she'd get it since Bridesmaids is a comedy.

We're so, so happy for her! And she's just so sweet talking about it.

See for URself!!! PresSsSsSs PlaayYy!

So what if the movie didn't get nominated for an Oscar (even though we think it should've been)? The ladies are gonna be there to support Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy anyway, so why not give them something to do!

The Academy announced this afternoon that the entire cast of Bridesmaids has been added as presenters for the Oscars. Along with nominees Kristen (Best Original Screenplay) and Melissa (Best Supporting Actress), Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Ellie Kemper and Wendi McLendon-Covey will all make their first Oscar show appearances on Sunday, Feb. 26!

Doesn't get any better than that! We look forward to whatever schtick they pull! Probably will rank as one of the HIGHlights of the ceremony!

It's a big day in anyone's life when they meet Meryl Streep … but to meet Meryl AND Angelina Jolie AND Brad Pitt all in the same day?

Well, we would've just keeled over!

But that is exactly what happened to Melissa McCarthy at the Golden Globes and she shared her HIGHlarious story with Ellen this afternoon on her birthday show. Check out the video (above) to hear how Melissa fangirled out on Meryl and made Brangelina stop talking so she could look at them.

You heard us. LOL!!!!

Honestly, we couldn't be more thrilled for her!

One of the most well-deserved nominations in quite some time!

Melissa McCarthy only just found out that she's received an Academy Award nod as Best Supporting Actress for her incredible performance in Bridesmaids, and took the opportunity to discuss her shock before heading to work on her sitcom Mike & Molly!

Very similar to the Golden Globe nominees … but we already knew that was going to happen!

This morning, the nominees for this year's Academy Awards were announced and the best of the best in Hollywood has A LOT to celebrate. From George Clooney to Meryl Streep, we don't think there is an A-lister left out of the pool this year and rightly so — it was a GREAT year for movie. (P.S. - This marks Meryl's 17th nomination! Crazy!)

Scorsese's Hugo leads the pack with a whopping 11 nominations across the board, but do you know who our personal favorite nomination is? Melissa McCarthy for Bridesmaids! Yes!!! So well deserved! As was The Muppets' nomination for "Man or Muppet" for best Original Song! We knew they would get in there somehow! And for all you Potterhead fans out there, fear not; the final film managed a nod for Art Direction, so it isn't going completely unrecognized. (Then again, there was one more available spot to fill in the Best Picture category. Juuuuuust saying!)

Who do U think will walk away with an Oscar?

With these two involved, we'd be pret-ty surprised if this movie isn't REALLY funny!

We've just learned Horrible Bosses director Seth Gordon is teaming up with actors Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy for his new comedy flick Identity Theft.

As far as story is concerned,

At least, for her it isn't. So if you were holding out hope, that needs to stop now.

Ever since the original hit theaters, people have been chomping at the bit to know if a sequel to the HIGHlarious flick Bridesmaids was in the cards. Of course, everyone from the audience to the studios wanted to hear a big "YES" come from the creative minds behind the movie, but as it turns out, the likelihood of it happening is slim to none. At least, not with Kristen Wiig attached.

The SNL star put the official kibosh on the idea over the weekend, explaining:
