Abigail Breslin is seeing BIG dollar signs next awards season!

Instead of stressing about a perfect score on her SATs like most 17-year-olds, Olive Hoover the teen actress is stressing about giving a PERFECT performance alongside Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts!

And she has $100,000 motivation to go with it!

According to Abigail's contract for the Meryl-led flick August:Osage County, the starlet has a special clause that promises a $50,000 bonus for a Golden Globe win and another $50,000 for an Oscar.

Seeing as gurlfriend is one of the youngest in history to be nominated for most coveted statue in the biz, we're sure she knows EXACTLY what to do to get the job done.

Not to mention, she had two of the most decorated actresses in Hollywood to mentor her.

It's a WHOLE lot of pressure, but we can definitely see Abigail walkin' off that Oscar podium and straight to the bank…

..Especially if August has a dance sequence! LOLz!!!

The couple that plays works together, stays together!!!

Anne Hathaway and her cute hubby Adam Shulman just CAN'T get enough of each other!!!

Thankfully, the twosome are spending looonnngggg hours on set as Adam has signed on to help produce Anne's latest musical flick, Song One!!!

As the back-to-brunette actress filmed a scene at a coffee shop in NYC, Adam did his producer thang and ran errands!!

Adorbzies, right??!

Sounds like a perfect set up to us!

Based on the madly in love glow we're seeing (above), having her man on set could also inspire the leading lady to deliver yet another Oscar-worthy performance!

And having critically acclaimed Rachel Getting Married producers Marc Platt and Jonathan Demme on board won't hurt her chances either.

Work it, gurl!!!

Renowned reality producer Mark Burnett thinks he would be a solid gold choice!

But is Ricky Gervais ready to host the Oscars?

After a controversial few years poking fun at celebrities as the host of the Golden Globes, the Extras creator has learned a thing or two about awards shows.

And as much as he would love to bring his comedy to the big show, he says he'll only do it under special conditions! He says:

We don't know what to think anymore!

We could have sworn the Valentino gown that Nicole Kidman wore to the Nebraska premiere at Cannes on Thursday was the one Anne Hathaway was supposed to wear to the Oscars this year.

BUT, the folks at Valentino are insisting that it's totally NOT, even though back when the whole Anne Hathaway/Valentino dress mess went down, that very same lace gown (pictured on Nicole above left) was reported to be the one Annie rejected at the last minute!

According to the powers-that-be

Wow, Anne Hathaway MISSED OUT!

Take a gander at Nicole Kidman at the Nebraska premiere at Cannes on Thursday (above). Does her lush lace Valentino gown look familiar?

It's TOTES the one Annie was supposed to wear to the Oscars this year!

AWKWARD!

Though Fantine changed her mind at the last minute, we're extremely pleased that Nicole still managed to take the dress out for its red carpet debut.

It's too gorgeous to just leave gathering dust at the Valentino atelier!

Way to represent, Nicole!

How could we ever forget the faceplant heard and seen around the world?

And when we say faceplant, we mean Miguel's crotch all up in some girl's poor face at the Billboard Music Awards!

It was one of THE BEST, but also one of the most embarrassing falls we've seen in awards show history! So, it had us wondering, who else experienced a painful on-stage blunder they would just love to forget??

Take a looksie at some real doozies AFTER THE JUMP!!

We were pretty shocked to hear that Seth MacFarlane had been asked to return to host the Oscars after the controversy surrounding his last run.

But now it looks like A Million Ways To Die In The West and Family Guy will keep the writer/director/star too busy- not that he didn't consider it!

In fact, Seth was so broken up about not hosting, he needed two tweets to turn the job down! He tweeted:
