Dumbass Worst Human Impression As Host: Seth MacFarlane The thing with Seth MacFarlane is that the man creates all kinds of characters. I feel like you watch one of his episodes of his shows and you’ve seen them all, but let’s say for the sake of argument that they’re varied, at least a little bit By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 03:01 pm
Oscars 2013 Most Oscar Alumni-esque: Sandra Bullock I felt really strange about Sandra at the Oscars. I don’t know why exactly – I mean, part of me wishes she hadn’t worn a dress that showed side-bum skin, even faux side-bum that’s actually nude-coloured underlay. Her hair and stuff seemed kind of straightforward Sandra Bullock, so By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 02:44 pm
BFFs Oscars Most Supportive: Bradley Cooper 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 By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 02:03 pm
Oscars 2013 Oscars Most Underthanked: Jennifer Hudson Jennifer Hudson saved the Oscars telecast. That is not too bold a statement; it was in a really ruinous space there for a while. They gave out one award to the most predictable winner of all – even if you were rooting for her, it was a hell of a long By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 01:43 pm
Oscars 2013 Best Oscar Sports: Daniel Radcliffe & Joseph Gordon-Levitt Suppose you’re an affable, lovable male actor in your 20s who’s generally respected and considered to be both talented and kind of a get-along guy – sooner or later you’re going to get asked to do something that is a little embarrassing or has the potential to be By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 01:12 pm
Oscars 2013 Best Oscar imitation of someone else – Salma Hayek Salma Hayek looks absolutely beautiful. She’s stunning in this dress, even if the neckline reminds me of nothing more than a tree trunk. Can I say that and still be complimentary? I really do mean to. But the reason I say she’s an imitation of someone else is By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 12:33 pm
Bad Style Worst Oscar Space Case: Amanda Seyfried Amanda Seyfried actually kind of makes me laugh at the best of times, and though I thought the Jimmy Kimmel piece was really overdone, I did like the part where she broke it down dancing in Cosette’s clothes. She’s harmless, she’s entertaining at times, she’s pretty By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 12:20 pm
Gorgessity Best Oscar Colour Chameleon: Kerry Washington You know that saying? That when you dislike someone the way he holds his fork will annoy you, but if you like him and he throws his plate in your lap, you’ll still like him? This is how I feel about Kerry Washington’s dress. I love everything she By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 11:31 am
Aging Gorgessity Best Oscar Red: Sally Field You know, I know that red dresses are kind of frowned upon on this site from time to time. I know that the prevailing wisdom is that it’s impossible to do one well. To this I say you know what? We’re throwing out the rule book. Because Sally By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 10:48 am
Bad Hair Worst Oscar Audience Shot: Kristen Stewart Jacek and I were going back and forth on getting stills or a GIF of KStew in the audience, and ultimately decided on stills, because, he assured me, “you’ll still get all the grease in that shot”. And she is! Somehow, she is greasy! It’s not that her By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 09:04 am
Bad Style Worst Oscar Bow: Reese Witherspoon At first when I saw this dress on Reese, I was more than willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. In fact, my notes say “This is more interesting than I expected it to be”. That’s because, when I first saw it on the carpet, there was By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 08:17 am
Dumbass Worst Oscar Mislabel: Octavia Spencer Octavia Spencer wore a gorgeous sort of pale ochre-y deep cream piece of fanciness which suited her really nicely with an off-centre neckline of which is surprising and unusual without being too try-hard-y. This is exactly the right note you want to strike for the year after you win an By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 07:00 am
Oscars 2013 Best Oscar Repeat: Zoe Saldana The first thing I thought when I saw Zoe Saldana’s dress was that it was lilac – like the one she wore in 2010. I was ready to get all skeptical like “what was she thinking?”, but here’s the genius of it. It’s like the same dress – but By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 06:31 am
Oscars 2013 Best FLOTUS for AMPAS I’ve always been entertained by the FLOTUS acronym, and I feel like it gets used in print and not enough out loud, not least because “First Lady” is an annoying title to have. So much more often, she’s just called Michelle Obama, which I think is her subtle By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 05:46 am
Vampire Diaries The Best Bad Idea The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 14 recap This was not the easiest episode of The Vampire Diaries to watch – I mean technically. I’m on West Coast time, the streaming was difficult in the hotel, no matter which site I’m used to going to I’m geoblocked somewhere. By Duana • Feb 22, 2013 02:33 pm
Douchebags Sour Grapes is So BORING Oh my God, with this, Ethan Hawke. Are you serious? Elaine loves to taunt Michelle and me about our teenage love for him. I have to admit, it feels embarrassing in retrospect. Not because he wasn’t cute then, or appealing to our young selves, but because there’s that By Duana • Feb 22, 2013 01:48 pm
