Show Your Work Podcast Show Your Work: LIVE from the Golden Globes! We are back, and thrilled to bring you this special episode of the podcast LIVE (ish) from L.A., where Lainey was on the Golden Globes red carpet in the dress heard around the web! The red carpet is a strange beast, and fresh from what Lainey calls one of By Duana • Jan 08, 2020 03:18 pm
Gorgessity Charlize Theron: Golden Globes Best Dressed (Duana) All right… let’s do this. I even cracked my knuckles in anticipation. Webster’s Dictionary defines ‘best dressed’ as… Yeah, yeah, okay. Tired joke. But, knowing that I was gonna choose this look, and also knowing how many people already hate it, I wanted to actually try to do By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 03:27 pm
Bad Style Renee Zellweger: Globes Worst Dressed (Duana) Okay, let’s get this out of the way first. Nobody wants to be mean to Renee Zellweger. It’s unthinkable, like kicking a bunny rabbit. Moreover, I’m not using ‘worst dressed’ just to be a dick, it’s – you know what? Let’s call it ‘least favourite’ and By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 01:56 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Best Of The Globes: Michelle Williams’ Acceptance Speech Michelle Williams ruined my plans. I listened to a great podcast with Busy Philipps the other day, and knowing she’s always Michelle Williams’ date to awards shows, I really wanted to write about some of the ways Busy described her on the podcast (which were also in her book, By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 01:07 pm
Style I Finally See Gwyneth Paltrow I’m married to a wonderful person, but naturally, he has flaws. One of them is that he doesn’t like Succession. I know. We watched the whole first season, he said he was out, but I wheedled, ‘maybe you’ll like it this season, everyone says it’s so By Duana • Jan 06, 2020 11:17 am
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. However, the time has come to add to our family in puppy form, and I have 1) a philosophical question and 2) By Duana • Dec 20, 2019 03:47 pm
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
