Although my sources on the ground at the 2014 Academy Awards have yet to confirm, I'm, like, 99 point all the nines percent sure that Kristen Bell just saw a sloth on the red carpet.

In case you missed it, the actress famously shared a home video on "The Ellen Degeneres Show" in 2012, where she completely and utterly ceases to function upon being told that a sloth would be attending her birthday party.

Let's just say that Kristen's expression on Sunday (March 2) looks exactly like it did in that clip. The wide-eyed shock? The mouth all agape? The quivering eyelids on the verge of weeping all the tears? Duh, all signs point to SLOTH.

Before I kneel before my homemade shrine (I'm pretty D.I.Y., NBD) to send posi vibes Kristen's way, I've got a bone to pick with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. C'mon, Academy, this is why you don't let sloths onto the red carpet! Kristen's got enough to worry about (like, uh, "Frozen"'s two Oscar nominations for Best Original Song and Best Animated Feature Film #HELLO) to avoid slipping into sloth-induced anaphylactic shock. Get it together.

We're not sure yet whether Jennifer Lawrence will score another Oscar at the 86th Academy Awards, but it looks like history did repeat itself in at least one way: the "American Hustle" star took a little tumble on the Red Carpet.

Quick, someone break out the Doritos — looks like J-Law could use some serious comfort food.

Last year, Lawrence bit it when going up to accept her Best Actress Oscar for "Silver Linings Playbook." Always the classy lady, however, the actress made her spill look a high-class perfume ad rather than a full-on face-plant.

This year, after stepping out on the carpet in a chic red dress and sky-high hair reminiscent of her character's bouffant in "American Hustle," Lawrence ate floor once more.

Luckily, someone caught the stumble on Vine so that we can watch Lawrence being adorably human over and over and over again. Is that Daft Punk we see giving her a hand? Or is it Robocop?

Lawrence is up for the Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for "American Hustle" tonight (March 2), so we'll have to see if history continues to repeat itself.

In the meantime, could someone get this girl some sneaks?

It is unclear what takes longer: for Johnny Depp to transform into the old man version of himself in "The Lone Ranger" (a feat that secured his makeup team an Oscar nomination) or for the average starlet to get ready for Sunday's (March 2) 2014 Academy Awards, which start at 8:30 p.m. ET.

The pre-Oscar primping process has with actors preparing for their big moment before a worldwide audience. And thanks to the TMI-infused magic of social media, stars are giving us a glimpse at the process (somewhere, the stars of Hollywood's Golden Era are collectively rolling in their graves).

For Anna Kendrick, she sent out a tweet that read, hilariously, "Pre-Oscars routine is mostly Eggos and Law & Order SVU. #glamour."

Pharrell

Michael B. Jordan Michael B. Jordan posted a photo of his Oscar ticket (nice font).

Bette Midler
Bette Midler drolly noted "Strife. Turmoil. Chaos. Not the Ukraine. Hair and makeup @AcademyAwards!"

Kristen Bell
Kristen Bell, the once and future "Veronica Mars," let us in on a red carpet secret, when she posted a photo of her handbag to Twitter with the caption: "When you see me on the red carpet of the Oscars tonight, just know... there's a burrito in my clutch." Hey, it's easy to understand why — it's a long-ass ceremony!

Lupita Nyong'o
