The lead-up to Oscars has many storylines and we’ll be covering them all the way until the big show on February 26th. And while the Oscars are about celebrating last year’s top movies, new ones keep coming and we’ll be previewing a few that are arriving in theatres this month that have links – some loose and some not so loose – to Oscar. Full Story

It certainly looks like it, doesn’t? Bad pants and all.Check out these shots of Michael Fassbender, clearly having enjoyed a few, after the A Dangerous Method premiere after party last night in London. Sorry to keep on it but I really, really think he should do something about the jeans. It’s terribly distracting. Full Story

Look, I’m not saying it was mega offensive in the traditional sense of the word or anything, but if you’ve seen the artist, and the costuming in the film, you know Berenice Bejo can be spectacular. And when you’re a nominee and your film is considered a frontrunner, you are allowed to be spectacular at the SAG Awards. Full Story

Remember when I ranted back in the day that I didn’t get to see them and their marriage enough?  (Click here for a refresher.) That they had an obligation to show off how cute we all knew they were together?  That I was entitled to see this? Apparently they decided I could wait until the end of January. Full Story

We talk a lot about campaigning here, that actors have to do this or that to secure the nomination and later, the votes. I will leave the intricacies to Lainey, but you all know what I mean. Suddenly stopping at every point on the carpet, smiles for all, revealing tidbits about your life, one Sunday night at a time. Full Story

I like Kristen Wiig so much but that f-cking choker was so objectionable to me it almost affected how I felt about the wearer, this is what you risk with a terrible accessory. Like, I’m all for understated Balenciaga. And in many ways, Kristen Wiig is very understated Balenciaga. It’s the anti-Marchesa. Full Story

Man, these girls from The Help are on a SLOG.  I was looking up something regarding The Help on the site last night, and I came across a poster in another language, and realized ‘oh yeah’, wide, WIDE release.  Lots and lots of travel to promote the movie and many many outfits. Do you kind of feel like Jessica Chastain maybe blew her wad too early? I’m sorry. Full Story

Dresses that look like living things, organisms, freak me out. Last time it happened was when Heidi Klum wore lettuce at the Emmys. This, I realise, is not a universal phobia. But me, I don’t like imagining things growing on clothing. Heidi’s dress looked like it could breed. Full Story

As Kelly Osbourne said last night, and repeated by Duana, pulling off a ponytail with a one shoulder is not an easy accomplishment. Diane Lane did it so beautifully. Always so beautiful. I just really... don’t care for this dress.It’s OK, I guess. And, well, not much more. It’s not imaginative. It’s not memorable. Full Story

Nicole Kidman went out for lunch in LA yesterday looking like a lady of leisure on a housewife show. That...is a lot of volume. Nicole’s next release won’t happen until May on HBO for Hemingway & Gellhorn. No doubt, as is often the case when movie stars make tv series, she’ll be nominated for an Emmy and then a Globe next year. Full Story

No imagination. No creativity. I don’t care that it was Lanvin. Go to a mid-range department store right now, head for the evening wear section and you’ll find this dress in various shades of peach and mahogany, definitely black, and most certainly red. Maybe not such an full shade of red, but it’s not really that pronounced of a difference. Full Story

Shelfy did not wear her engagement ring at any of the Globe events this weekend. Instead, she decided on a prairie wedding gown with a third saggy tit, right above the waist, I dunno, just to make sure you know JT wants to marry her. In this?She’s not enough for this, you know what I mean?Like, the woman who wears this dress has to be really, really special. Full Story

Nothing says small town to me more than poor hairstyling, where the “rules” of fashion and appearance have never been updated, one of which dictates that fancy parties require curls or updos. Making it exciting is taking it only half way up. This is what Stacy Keibler gave us last night. And just as we were starting to make progress - see here Full Story

Jessica Biel did it in Prada at the Oscars in 2009. Like a handkerchief at the chest. Click here for refresher. This is, of course, Charlize Theron. Who always favours a bow. And hers is at the hip. So, obviously, it’s not quite as dumbass as Biel’s attempt at impressing Anna Wintour. Full Story
