Girls Sleeping on hospital chairs Girls Season 3 Episode 9 recap How dare you make me emotional, Girls. How dare you offer up something fine and nuanced about one of the worst parts of adulthood – watching your parents become both more wise and more flawed at the same time. This is not what we signed By Duana • Mar 04, 2014 02:53 pm
Lifestyle Apollo. Apollo? I mean look, I guess they can name their kids whatever they want. I’ve seen them do it. And after you’ve had sons named Kingston and Zuma, you can’t easily call the next one Kevin. So I get it and, in fact, I like Apollo better than By Duana • Mar 04, 2014 01:45 pm

Oscars 2014 A little bit of boy sh*t Look at the picture below. If it looks familiar, it’s because it was used yesterday in the open. There’s Steve McQueen jumping in joy at the front. Now look all the way to the back... yeah. See that guy back there, giving kind of a laconic peace sign? By Duana • Mar 04, 2014 11:37 am
Oscars 2014 Anna Kendrick: Oscars Worst Dressed (Duana) This is gonna hurt me more than it hurts you. Because I love Anna Kendrick, and she is already awesome and poised on the tip of so much more: Pitch Perfect 2. Boom. Into The Woods. Boom. The Last Five Years – it’s going to be huge. There is every By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 04:31 pm
Oscars 2014 Cate Blanchett: Oscars Most Invigorating Acceptance I know that’s saying a lot, especially given Lupita Nyong’o’s acceptance and how oft-repeated that phrase is going to be. But the speech was fresh and original from the second sentence: “You’re too old to be standing” and proceeds from there. She says the honour is By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 04:24 pm
Oscars 2014 Sally Hawkins: Oscars Best Dressed (Duana) Here we go. Is this the one that’s gonna be a fight? This was my favourite dress of all of them last night. It felt new and different and fresh. It felt like it was trying something. It’s a really neat and forward-looking dress, and if it’s By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 03:47 pm
Oscars 2014 Elizabeth Banks: Confounding Almost Oscar Last year around this time, after we’d chosen our best and worst dressed and were typing away, we found Elizabeth Banks at the Vanity Fair party. And she looked like this. I wished she could have been my best dressed but she didn’t attend the ceremony. Well, the By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 03:31 pm
Oscars 2014 Jared Leto: Oscars Best Man (Duana) So here we are. Jared Leto won, and he is my Best Man. My 15-year-old self is looking at me askance. See, I was as big a fan of My So-Called Life as anyone, but Jordan Catalano did not make me squee. He scared me. He seemed angry and sad. By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 03:09 pm
Oscars 2014 Sandra Bullock: Most Confusing Oscar Outfit Let’s review the facts about Sandra Bullock. She’s absolute box office gold. She’s kind of fun and funny and, even more than my beloved Julia, she’s one of the boys about the whole "we’re chill about the fact that we’re super rich making By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 01:59 pm
Oscars 2014 Julia Roberts: Oscar Memory Loss It’s time. There was no "Who’s Natalie", but my woman still delivered some serious love, and it’s time to address it. Get comfy. First of all, the dress was not my thing. Bored now. I get that Julia slides herself firmly into the "classics& By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 01:31 pm
Oscars 2014 Jennifer Lawrence: Brewing Oscar Backlash It’s starting. Oooh, is it starting? When Jennifer Lawrence appeared on the red carpet in red, a colour she’d worn at the Oscars before, people sighed on Twitter. When she tripped, like she did last year, people snarked, “Oh, here we go again”. It’s begun. When she By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 11:47 am
Oscars 2014 Leonardo DiCaprio: Worst Oscar Sport My favourite line in August: Osage County never made any of the highlight reels because of profanity, but I love to run around saying it anyway: “Eat the fish, bitch!” Similarly, Lainey has been storming around all night going “Take the goddamn pizza, Leo!” And this is his biggest problem.

Oscars 2014 Emma Watson: Not Oscars Best Dressed I look at Emma Watson, with the whole of Hollywood spread out before her, and I think that while she might not get the most interesting jobs, and she might not be doing the most risqué work, and she probably is filling her schedule with movies that are good but By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 09:52 am
Oscars 2014 Meryl Streep: Oscars Most Grace So, in today’s unpopular opinion, I hate grace. I hate that it’s the first trait we apply to women who don’t scream their sexiness out all over the place. I hate that it’s used as a synonym for “pretty and polite and thin” but it’s By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 08:49 am
Oscars 2014 Kerry Washington: Oscar Wrinkles Whenever one of my friends starts to get all anxiety about what to wear to a party, I always tell them to remember that at 99% of social gatherings, all that matters is what you look like from the chest up. Parties are so crowded that the slightly too-big pants By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 07:51 am
