Last night's 2013 Billboard Music Awards didn't have many Latino winners, but Selena Gomez and ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber made headlines after she was spotted planting a kiss on him!

MTV Movie Awards 2013: Aubrey Plaza pulls a Kanye West during Will Ferrell's acceptance speech

MTV is no stranger to awkward moments at their award shows, which is why when Puerto Rican actress Aubrey Plaza interrupted Will Ferrell's acceptance speech at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards last night, it was less than amusing. Plaza had awkwardly gone up on stage as Ferrell was talking after receiving the Comedic Genius Award and tried taking the Golden Popcorn statue from his hands. Ferrell seemed surprised by the interruption but handled the incident like a trooper.

Her actions were reminiscent of rapper Kanye West's arrogant and rude interruption during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. And MTV isn't putting up with ANY of that behavior since the infamous incident and kicked out Plaza for her outburst.

Why were Latinos practically absent from the Oscars last night? (VIDEO)

I have to say I'm extremely disappointed with the Oscars and the Academy. They didn't include in their tribute to all the actors we lost this past year our beloved Lupe Ontiveros. I was even hoping they might honor Jenni Rivera (since her last project before her tragic death was the movie Filly Brown), but her absence I can understand. But Lupe's? No way! There was also some bad jokes about our stars' accents: Salma Hayek, Penélope Cruz, and Javier Bardem. I want to know how many languages Family Guy creator and Oscars host Seth MacFarlane speaks, really.

I'm not a very sensitive person, there aren't really many jokes that get to me. I actually think it's kind of healthy for us to laugh at ourselves and at our differences. But the fact the Lupe was ignored, that really is sad. So are 41 movies and various awards not enough to make her a respected actress in their eyes? That is truly an insult!

Kids take on Oscar's Best Picture nominees with hysterical results! (PHOTOS)

The Oscars are this weekend and this year, there are tons of amazing movies in the running for Best Picture. But while the nominees, including Django Unchained, Argo, Silver Linings Playbook and more, are all interesting, entertaining, and well-made, none of them could exactly be described as kid-friendly. Mom of two Maggie Storino took to her Tumblr "Don't Call Me Oscar" to change that.

Recruiting her two female toddlers and one of their little friends as models, Storino recreated the posters for each Best Picture movie starring the kids ...  and the results are so hilariously adorable, they'll have you wishing there was an Oscar for Best Leading Babies. Check them out below:

Visibly moved, Chiquis and her sister, thanked God for the strength he's given to help them through La Diva de la Banda's abscence, the media, and especially their fans.
