Golden Globes 2020 Cate Blanchett is Underused at the Golden Globes By virtue of appearing here in the middle of the day (night? What time is it?), Cate Blanchett is neither mine nor Lainey’s Best Dressed of the night. Which is kind of bizarre, because this dress is utterly fantastic. It’s Mary Katranzou, one of my all-time favourites, but By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 10:46 am
Golden Globes 2020 Cynthia Erivo & Scarlett Johansson: Globes Piercing Pals I am a garden-variety internet addict who loves clothing and spectacle, so during or after an awards show, I obviously search obsessively to find out who designed the outfits I love (or despise). I used to be better at the ‘I can guess that designer just by looking at it’ By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 09:45 am
Golden Globes 2020 Phoebe Waller-Bridge: Globes Talent Sorceress I spent the last 10 minutes looking for a word to describe what Phoebe Waller-Bridge is to the entire entertainment industry. ‘Seductress’ is wrong, ‘enchantress’ is too froofy, ‘Jedi’ is embarrassing. I actually flirted with ‘Veela’ but I couldn’t live with myself if I used it. They’re totally By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 09:23 am
Golden Globes 2020 Globes’ Biggest Surprise: Ramy (and Rami, and Lucy) As Lainey says, this is what the Golden Globes does well – maybe even reliably: they pick up on small interesting shows and, by awarding them or their stars, bring them a much bigger audience. Just off the top of my head, The Affair, Jane The Virgin, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Donald Glover By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 07:35 am
Golden Globes 2020 Saoirse Ronan’s Globes Protest? Anyone who reads us knows I’m hopelessly biased about Saoirse Ronan. But with good reason - she’s charming, smart, and frequently makes amazing red carpet choices. In 2016 I called her Oscar dress ‘satisfying’, and I’m still really happy with that word choice. Then on top of By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 06:05 am
Golden Globes 2020 Hot Dads of Hollywood, Golden Globes Edition As you may have seen on Instagram, Lainey’s been going deep into the processes of both her TV life and lining up the site. And because we can’t physically write the 90 pieces we’d like to if we were addressing every last thing about the show, we By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 05:36 am
Hook Ups Bill Hader & Rachel Bilson’s Globes Debut The Golden Globes are supposed to be about offbeat, surprise choices, and while there were a couple, I felt like we lacked the usual amount of utter absurdity, with the exception of how much attention was paid to 1917. So it’s maybe fitting that the night’s biggest surprise By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 04:49 am
Name Nerd Duana Names: Wherein French Food Is My Albatross Hi Duana, Have LOVED the column for years and worried that my decision not to birth any more humans might mean I never get to seek your advice.

Name Nerd Duana Names: Let Them Both Be Your Star(s) Hi Duana, My partner and I had a name locked down in a minute. And now that her due date has been bumped up (just four weeks from now), I'm second guessing...her middle name of all things. Originally, we had two middle names - Alexandra Marie - By Duana • Dec 18, 2019 05:10 pm
Name Nerd Duana Names: Why Is This So Hard!? Hi Duana, When I was pregnant with my first, my husband and I had a huge list of girls’ names, and absolutely no boys’ names. We found out at 20 weeks that baby was a boy, and he still went nameless for over 12 hours after birth because we struggled By Duana • Dec 16, 2019 04:24 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews ‘In The Heights’ Trailer Goosebump Count Look, I’m not going to bury the lede – between 1:46 and 2:26 I broke out in goosebumps no fewer than six times. But the dreamy strings at the beginning meant I was primed for it from the very first frame: I don’t know if any recent By Duana • Dec 13, 2019 02:59 pm
Name Nerd Duana Names: The Exception Proves The Rule Dear Duana, We are expecting our first child in early June 2020, and just found out it will be a baby girl.

Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: America’s Got Gabrielle If Lainey were writing this, she’d undoubtedly point out that some stories are gifts that keep giving or that gain momentum when you least expect it. It’s been a full week since the story broke that Gabrielle Union spoke up about various issues at America’s Got Talent By Duana • Dec 04, 2019 03:25 pm
Name Nerd Duana Names: Getting Right In The Middle Of It Hello Duana, After five years of trying naturally and eventually moving on to IVF, my husband and I have finally gotten pregnant!

Name Nerd Duana Names: Those You Forgot You Already Loved Dear Duana, I am expecting my first child in February, a girl. Every name I used to love now seems lackluster at best. The current front runner is Zoe, but the Social Security Administration reports it is one of the most popular names of the 2010s. I don't By Duana • Nov 29, 2019 02:32 pm
