Game of Thrones Kathleen’s Best of Thrones: THE RED WEDDING!!!!! (Lainey: first of all, Kathleen is so dramatic, and dramatically on brand – look at those exclamation points.

Assy Style Julia Roberts: Oscar Worst Dressed (Kathleen) Whatever Julia Roberts’ equivalent of the Beygency is, Duana is its president. Duana and her Best Friend’s Wedding Party (I just made this up since Duana says Julia stans are too old for a fan nickname) will want to come for me based on the headline of this post By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 04:18 pm
Oscars 2019 Amandla Stenberg: Oscar Best Dressed (Kathleen) The Oscars took my advice on one of my past pet peeves of the show. There weren’t endless montages featuring movies that the show didn’t recognize. It’s annoying when the Academy snubs great films for ones like Green Book but then will cycle through the good ones By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 02:52 pm
Oscars 2019 The MBJ Love Triangle Shockingly, no one in this triangle with Michael Bae Jordan is me but only because it’s not a real love triangle. You know how people seem to think that Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper are f-cking? Their chemistry seems as contrived as two theatre kids who learned what falling By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 01:21 pm
Oscars 2019 Chris Evans exists Regina King won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar – her first— for her role in If Beale Street Could Talk. Somehow, Chris Evans is now in almost every story about Regina King’s win because the man sat beside her mom and… looked in her direction a few times? Because he By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 11:25 am
Oscars 2019 King Regina There were a lot of “Queens” in attendance last night. Queen, the band. Queen Latifah. Olivia Coleman and Helen Mirren in spirit. The Queen of Wakanda, Angela Bassett. Billy Porter if we’re still saying “yasss Queen!” And then there was Regina King. Lainey schooled me that “Regina” means “Queen” By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 10:27 am
Oscars 2019 Stephan James’ Awards Season Hustle In October, I wrote “if you don’t already know Stephan James, you will soon.” He was weeks away from the release of Homecoming and If Beale Street Could Talk, his two breakout roles of 2018. A whole awards season later and Stephan James is definitely a name you know. By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 09:45 am
Oscars 2019 The Black Panther Wins: A long time coming “This has been a long time coming.” Ruth E Carter started her first Oscars acceptance speech with these seven words, and to me, they sum up all of Black Panther’s historic wins. It’s been a long time coming for black women behind-the-scenes in Hollywood to get their recognition. By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 06:39 am
Oscars 2019 Do The Right Thing, Oscars The Oscars did right by Spike Lee in the Best Adapted Screenplay category. As we’ve established, it did not “do the right thing” in its choice for Best Picture. The most outspoken critic of Green Book’s win was Spike himself, who many outlets are reporting “stormed out” of By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 05:21 am
Top Reads Green Book is America’s Best Picture It’s not like we didn’t know it was coming. Awards season has been preparing us for the inevitable: Green Book as the 2019 Best Picture winner. America, and its almost comically disrespectful Black History Month of bad news, has been preparing us for this too. Since it won By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 04:54 am
Grammy Awards 2019 Diana Ross and the Grammy tributes We stan a shameless birthday queen! If you’re paying attention every year around the time of our birthdays, you know that Lainey and I are brazen in our birthday celebrations. We hijack whole weeks like we’re Offset. Diana Ross has taken over a whole ass two months for By Kathleen • Feb 11, 2019 02:51 pm
Music Undeniable Miley Miley Cyrus makes it difficult to dislike her. It’s annoying. I’m constantly annoyed by how likeable Miley can be because she is, as the kids say, a #problematicfave. But there are certain things about Miley I can’t deny, no matter how much I want to. Last night By Kathleen • Feb 11, 2019 01:49 pm
Music What Kacey and Janelle deserved Kacey Musgraves won Album of the Year. Lainey and I were gushing over Golden Hour all night. We both love the album. I was defending her performance of “Rainbow” to friends over text because while it did feel like it dragged during the broadcast, “Rainbow” is a gorgeous song with By Kathleen • Feb 11, 2019 11:41 am
Music Let Cardi B SHINE That’s a direct message to Offset. I hate that Offset’s name is in the first sentence of anything I’m writing about Cardi B, let alone a post about her first Best Rap Album win for Invasion of Privacy, her FIRST album. Cardi became the first female solo By Kathleen • Feb 11, 2019 11:05 am
Grammy Awards 2019 Gaga stays on brand Lady Gaga has always been extra. That word doesn’t seem large enough for what Gaga has always brought to her performances and to her overall aesthetic. She does everything BIG. She FEELS. She LIVES when she’s on stage. She’s Celine like that. Yes, Celine Dion is now By Kathleen • Feb 11, 2019 10:05 am
Maple Leaf Drake gets cut off This is the Grammys. Set those words to the tune of Childish Gambino’s “This Is America.” The track won Song of the Year and Record of the Year last night, making it the first rap song in HISTORY to win those categories. In its 60-year history, the Grammys only By Kathleen • Feb 11, 2019 08:31 am
