Dear Gossips,

What a waste of a load. I mean the Critics’ Choice Awards. If you didn’t watch, you’re lucky. Those of us who did had to endure an auctioneer – that’s right, I said an AUCTIONEER – speed-talking his way through Kevin Costner’s list of accomplishments for Rene Russo because she had laryngitis. The auctioneer is apparently some reality tv personality on some reality tv show. And now you’re about to get all huffy and sanctimonious because I don’t know who he is.

Is he movie star? This was a movie awards show. I’m expecting movie stars. If this had been a reality tv award show, fine. I wouldn’t have watched and we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

As for the conversation about Aniston and Brange, well, Brange decided not to play. Instead, Angelina shared a table at Critics’ Choice with the Unbroken team. Which included Miyavi, easily the Best Dressed of the night. Like Pharrell would have a hard time stepping to this.

More Critics’ Choice highlights and analysis to follow but first…

What are you doing this weekend? Um, the Whitney Houston Lifetime movie is on. What else is there to do?

Have a great weekend!

Yours in gossip,

Lainey
