Movie Reviews and Previews Kate Winslet and Andy Samberg’s unlikely partnership Last week I mentioned Kate Winslet’s upcoming war biopic of photographer Lee Miller, titled Lee, mostly in reference to how hot Andy Samberg looks in this movie.

TV Updates Let Kate Winslet be fun Kate Winslet is one of the most admired actors of her generation, but she has never been “above TV”, as many of her peers insisted they were, at least until the prestige revolution of the 2010s. She starred in a miniseries adaptation of Mildred Pierce all the way back in By Sarah • Feb 09, 2024 03:15 pm
Business of Hollywood Intro for May 5, 2023 Dear Gossips, Lost amidst the Met Gala madness and writers’ strike drama this week was the announcement from the Academy that they have changed some of their Oscar “for your consideration” and campaigning rules in the wake of the Andrea Riseborough controversy earlier this year.

In the past, these anonymous ballots have gotten By Sarah • Mar 09, 2023 09:14 am
Award Season Campaigning Intro for February 17, 2023 Dear Gossips, After her surprise Oscar nomination for Best Actress, Andrea Riseborough has kept a low profile, skipping out on the Oscar nominees luncheon earlier this week, and the London Critics Circle Film Awards last week. She has a built-in excuse, as she is working on The Palace, an upcoming By Sarah • Feb 17, 2023 09:01 am
Assy Style Andrea Riseborough did not go The awkwardly named London Critics Circle Film Awards occurred yesterday, definitely the less embarrassing awards given out on February 5, a day that shall live in infamy. It was mostly British-Irish people in attendance, with a few notable exceptions, because it mostly honors British-Irish film, but Michelle Yeoh was there, By Sarah • Feb 06, 2023 03:00 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The Riseborough Affair Can we have ONE Oscar season without controversy? Just ONE! I am asking so little! I just want pageantry and glamor, dammit, and I keep having to talk about slaps and voting rules! This year’s fresh hell is the surprise Best Actress nomination of British actor Andrea Riseborough for By Sarah • Jan 30, 2023 10:08 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Oscar nominations: Who’s in? It is finally Oscar nomination morning, so we are officially 50% of the way through awards season (the Oscars aren’t until MARCH).

Movie Reviews and Previews Andrea Riseborough in Please Baby Please Some films are so fascinating, authorial, and/or bold they defy the “good/bad” binary. Robert Eggers’ The Lighthouse is one such film—is it good? Is it bad? Does it matter, when it’s so INTERESTING? The works of John Waters, Harmony Korine, and Prince fall into this category, By Sarah • Nov 04, 2022 03:37 pm
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Andrea is the Governors Awards Best Dressed Of all the dresses we saw at the Governors Awards, Andrea Riseborough’s was my favourite. I love how the green parts are reflecting the light, looking almost neon. I love that she went with an ear-cuff on one side and left the other bare. And I really like this By Lainey • Nov 13, 2017 03:55 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews The best comedy so far this year: The Death Of Stalin Armando Ianucci (Veep, In The Loop) is one of the best satirists working today—certainly the best working in narrative forms. His latest piece of satire is The Death of Stalin, a Cold War era comedy about, you guessed it, the death of Joseph Stalin. Or rather, it’s about By Sarah • Sep 15, 2017 02:13 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Team Birdman on the way Venice. Birdman opens the festival tonight. Here’s the cast with director Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu at the photo call today…already looking triumphant? Everyone is watching Birdman as one of the expected contenders for Oscar. They’ve been talking like Michael Keaton is a lock. Unless, of course, the film By Lainey • Aug 27, 2014 11:58 am
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Andrea’s red travel dress This is, surprisingly, not Kate Beckinsale, the overdresser. And it’s quite an outfit for the plane. Andrea Riseborough arrived at LAX wearing this red ankle length dress yesterday rivalling even Posh Beckham in travel dressing. I’m assuming she was coming straight from an appearance and will change in By Lainey • Apr 12, 2013 11:40 am
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Andrea’s dress length It’s Proenza Schouler. I posted the collection here last September. The dress was sent down the runway at the knee. On Andrea Riseborough it’s mid-calf, probably because models are giants and they didn’t want to cut it for her. I woulda just bought it and had it By Lainey • Apr 09, 2013 03:48 pm
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Andrea’s chainmail and bad makeup All over the chainmail cape. Not as excited about how her dress looks from the front. I think it’s the pantyhose sheer across the chest. Seems like a copout. The makeup though... Jesus. It always surprises me how susceptible celebrities are to bad lighting, or insufficient lighting. That when By Lainey • Feb 05, 2013 08:48 am
