LOS ANGELES — Even though she was at the Elton John AIDS Foundation's annual Oscar viewing party, Sharon Osbourne made it clear she could not care less about who was winning what a few miles away. "I don't give a (expletive) about the Oscars, I just care about being here," she told the celebrity studded crowd at the 22nd annual event, which raises money to fight the disease. Instead, the "The Talk" co-host urged the well-heeled crowd to dig deep and donate beyond the ticket paid for entry to the swanky event. And she did it in her usual coarse manner. It's an Oscar sing-a-long for Kidman Adam Levine's biggest fan just might be Nicole Kidman. As the Maroon 5 frontman and "The Voice" judge performed his Oscar nominated song "Lost Stars" from "Begin Again," the "Queen of the Desert" and "The Hours" actress tapped her heel-clad foot and sang along. While most Academy Awards attendees quietly watched Levine's performance, Kidman knew every single word. She wasn't totally alone though: hubby and country crooner Keith Urban backed her up a bit. Swag bags worth $168,000 Twenty Oscar-nominated directors, actors and actresses will go home Sunday without a coveted statuette — but they won't be entirely empty-handed. For them, there will be swag bags worth $168,000 each, put together by a Los Angeles niche marketing outfit called Distinctive Assets. "This year's bag is the most valuable collection of swag ever assembled at an Oscars gifting suite," said Vanity Fair magazine on its website. The contents range in value from $5 to $20,000, including a year of free car rentals, a high-end train trip in the Canadian Rockies, $25,000 of furniture and $4,000 of liposuction treatment. The value of this year's "gift bag" is double that of last year's -- but under US tax law, recipients will have to declare the contents as income. Arquette calls for equality Meryl Streep cheered, pointed and shouted "Yes! Yes! Yes!" as Patricia Arquette ended her Oscar acceptance speech with a call for wage equality for women. Arquette, who won best supporting actress for portraying the mother in "Boyhood," had just beaten Streep out for the award and had read a long list of thank-yous and thrown in a plug for GiveLove.com, which advocates for ecological sanitation, when she changed themes. "To every woman who gave birth to every taxpayer and citizen in this nation: We have fought for everybody else's equal rights. It's our time to have wage equality in the US," she said. The call to action, which seemed to take the audience by surprise, had many people on their feet and cheering. "Made my night," Streep told Arquette backstage." Travolta still ribbed for name flub John Travolta still can't live down his mangling of Idina Menzel's name from last year's Academy Awards when he called her Adele Dazeem. At this year's Oscars, host Neil Patrick Harris mentioned Benedict Cumberbatch, then said, "It's not only the most awesome name in show business, it's also the sound you get when you ask John Travolta to pronounce Ben Affleck." Harris added that the next presenter had "been on the receiving end" of Travolta's pronunciations, and Menzel took the stage. She then introduced "my very dear friend Glom Gazinga." "I deserved that," Travolta said as he nuzzled her onstage, calling her "my beautiful, my wickedly talented Idina Menzel." Menzel responded, "It's not like it's going to follow me around for the rest of my life." "Tell me about it," Travolta countered. Lego my Oscar statue While attendees like Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman headed straight for the exit after "Birdman" was crowned best picture at the Oscars, other celebs lingered inside the Dolby Theatre. Bradley Cooper, Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep — who all lost in their respective Academy Award categories — stuck around and posed for selfies with the Oscars they're actually taking home: the Lego renditions they were handed by backup dancers during the performance of "Everything is Awesome" from "The Lego Movie." "Boyhood" filmmaker Richard Linklater and star Ethan Hawke also dejectedly dawdled in the theater before moving on. All in the family at the Oscars It wasn't clear if he had called his mother, as Oscar's first winner of the evening implored the world to do, but Alejandro González Iñárritu did urge the media gathered backstage after the Academy Awards to give her a shout out. He said he overlooked doing so himself when his brain turned into a "noodle" as he was accepting Oscars for best director and best picture for "Birdman." "I owe this for my mom," he said backstage. "My mom is part of this journey." There was many a mention of matriarchs and patriarchs throughout the show, starting most famously with best supporting actor winner J.K. Simmons urging everyone to call — not text or email — their parents. Parents also had a visible presence in the crowd. Best adapted screenplay winner Graham Moore had his mom by his side, as did best supporting actress nominee Emma Stone. "Fifty Shades of Grey" star Dakota Johnson also brought along her mother, actress-mom Melanie Griffith. Watch that boy Ellar run It was a mad dash for Ellar Coltrane. The 20-year-old actor who played the boy in "Boyhood" ran from the back of the Dolby Theatre to join co-star Ethan Hawke and director Richard Linklater near the front in cheering Patricia Arquette's best supporting actress award. After Arquette accepted her Oscar, Coltrane went back to his seat while Hawke and Linklater continued to celebrate in the aisle with rapper-actor Common. Say what? A 'Gigli' reunion at the Oscars There was a hush-hush "Gigli" reunion in the front row at the Oscars. After "Citizenfour" was crowned best documentary, Ben Affleck went over to Jennifer Lopez during a commercial break and whispered something to her. His words prompted the "American Idol" judge to playfully smack the "Gone Girl" star — and her famous ex — across his arm. Lopez and Affleck of course were once engaged, as well as co-stars of the notorious flop "Gigli." After saying hi to Lopez, Affleck moved down the aisle and whispered something in Bradley Cooper's ear. The "American Sniper" star didn't slap him, however.
