Was it the best performance of the five? Probably not, right? I have personal attachment to Emmanuelle Riva because, well, Amour is my personal nightmare. My parents are Amour. Many of you thought it was Chastain’s Maya in Zero Dark Thirty. Still others identified with Naomi’s courageous mother in The Impossible. Full Story

Yes, I agree with most of you that BCoop looked kind of greasy, and not in the good way, with his hair all slicked back. But, unlike many, I’m a fan of the beard. Not just stubble, but a nice few days of mountain man. So he was already in my good books, even though it looked like it was going to be a tiny beard ponytail at one point. Full Story

Jennifer Lawrence is considered one of the favourites for Best Actress on Sunday (even though more and more momentum seems to be shifting to Emmanuelle Riva). Taking advantage of her profile going into the weekend, promotional images from two separate campaigns not related to Silver Linings Playbook have been released. Full Story

The party is always better than the show, right? Especially if you have a party partner. This…is not Ben Affleck’s life right now. More on that later. For now, here’s Alice Eve getting sweaty with Bradley Cooper. And Bradley Cooper getting pawed by Michael Fassbender. And Fassbender fangirling Jennifer Lawrence. Full Story

Emmanuelle Riva has made it a 3-way. It’s officially a 3-way race for Best Actress Oscar. As I’ve mentioned a few times already -- click here and here and here Full Story

This is Jennifer Lawrence heading out of LA en route to London yesterday ahead of the BAFTAs on Sunday where she’s nominated for Leading Actress alongside Jessica Chastain, Marion Cotillard, Helen Mirren, and Emmanuelle Riva. It’ll be the first major event where Chastain, Lawrence, and Riva go head to head. Full Story

Emmanuelle Riva did not attend the Nominees Luncheon yesterday in Beverly Hills. That has something to do, perhaps, with the BAFTAs being on Sunday and it might be too much at her age to go back and forth from LA to London and then back to LA again in a week or so for the Oscars. Or maybe it’s because she’s not playing. Full Story

Jennifer Lawrence was at the Santa Barbara Film Festival this weekend where she received the award for Most Outstanding Performer of the Year. It’s been a big year. She owned the box office as Katniss in The Hunger Games. And now of course she’s on the awards circuit and nominated for the second time for Best Actress for her role in Silver Linings Playbook. Full Story

Because, on fashion, they were both sh-t at the Golden Globes. Click here and here to revisit Jennifer Lawrence’s weird red gown and Jessica Chastain’s terrible, terrible sea foam. For Jessica it was red McQueen. Full Story

A great week is only getting better, starting the second day in a row with Nicholas Hoult, currently in the #2 position on my Five List. Here he is in a well tailored suit at the premiere of Warm Bodies in Rome. My cousin Cat wrote to me yesterday, “I can’t believe About A Boy is so hot! I loved him in that movie!” I’m telling you, in person it’s even better. Full Story

Here are brand new photos of Nicholas Hoult, #2 on my Five List, in Italy today promoting Warm Bodies. As I noted last week -- click here for a refresher -- I saw Warm Bodies just before Christmas and really, really liked it. After the screening I messaged Sarah from Cinesnark Full Story

I don’t blame you, dude. I know you’re busy, you have a lot going on, and you have a whole lot of best-dressed lists to land on before February 24th. I don’t want you think I blame you. But what in the holy hell is up with wearing orange dresses on the carpet that haven’t been camera-tested? In photos, the dress comes off as something I can mostly only describe as burnt coral. Full Story

How many times did Jennifer Lawrence win last night? A lot. I can’t find the clip but did you see Amanda Seyfried’s face when Lawrence was called up for Best Actress in Silver Linings Playbook? She was only shot in profile in the background but on Video Assumption I’d call it Mega Envy. Full Story

Naomi Watts isn’t just popular among the actors and throughout the industry -- click here and here for previous articles about why Naomi Watts should not be considered an underdog in the Best Actress Oscar race. Full Story
