If there was ever a great reason to invite friends over for an absolutely decadent meal, it’s Fat or Shrove Tuesday, and Pancake Day.

Fat Tuesday is considered to be the traditional name for the day before Ash Wednesday. The first day of Lent is more commonly known as Mardi Gras, which is simply Fat Tuesday in French.

It gets its name from the custom, in many Catholic countries, of marking the day with feasting before the fasting season of Lent begins.

The 86th annual Oscar ceremony kicks off tonight with a splash from the soaked Dolby Theater.
Ellen DeGeneres is expected to host tonight's telecast with very little chance of surprises.

"Gravity" should lead the ceremony in Oscars for visual effects and cinematography. Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron is considered a lock for best director for seamlessly marshaling new digital technology to render the lost-in-space drama. He could be the very first Latino to win the category.
