oscars

Pharrell had a huge 2013, but this year is shaping up to be even bigger for him. Today, he released his long-awaited follow up to In My Mind, the love-letter to women, G I R L, and with his current single "Happy" sitting at #1 on Billboard, it's likely that the album will do the same this week.

The 86th annual Oscars went down last night in Los Angeles, as happens every year, the brightest and biggest stars were out attending the event and celebrating afterwards at various different parties.

Watch Pharrell perform his hit "Happy" at the Oscars

Janelle Monae was enlisted by E! to create a track for their red carpet soundtrack during tonight's Oscars. Just as the Oscars are getting underway, we're treated to Janelle's track "Simply Irresitible", which is a cover of Robert Palmer's 1988 hit.

When Three 6 Mafia won the academy award for best song for a song they did for the film "Hustle & Flow," years back, they quickly delivered what became everyone's favorite Oscar acceptance speech.

Pharrell performed an array of hits during his recent performance at the 2014 All-Star game. The super-producer went through some classics like "Hot In Herre", "Pass The Courvoisier", and "Frontin'", as well as some more recent tracks like "Get Lucky", and of course, the Oscar-nominated "Happy".

While you were watching Kendrick Lamar get shut out of the Grammys, you may have missed Pharrell taking home 4 awards (his choice of headwear may have also contributed to the distraction).

Oscar season is approaching, and today the full list of nominations for the Oscars 2014 were revealed. While there's not usually much cross-over into hip-hop when it comes to the Oscars, Pharrell Williams did receive a nod for the work he did on the film "Despicable Me 2."

The 2013 Academy Awards went down last night, so stars were out in their best form. If artists weren't attending the event itself, they were likely attending a party in celebration night, such as Elton John's annual AIDS Foundation Academy Awards viewing party in West Hollywood.
