Oscars 2015 McConaughey’s Oscar Marion Matthew McConaughey was the only returning acting winner who did not walk the carpet at the Oscars last night. So I totally forgot about it.

Oscars 2015 Chris Evans: the Oscar not a date date I happened to have my eye on the arrivals car camera when Chris Evans got there last night.

Oscars 2015 Benedict’s Oscar kisses Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter hit up the Vanity Fair party after the show. And maybe the photographer there asked for a kiss. And maybe Benedict obliged. And decided he would kiss AND close his eyes at the same time. Not a move I generally endorse. This is doesn’t By Lainey • Feb 23, 2015 08:23 am
Oscars 2015 Ben Affleck at the Oscars: the Jennifer Aniston of directors Best Director is a major award. It comes near the end. And we all know how it works by now.

Oscars 2015 The Best Faith in Years It can be scary, the thought of Faith Hill at the Oscars. You remember, don’t you? No? I guess I don’t blame you. You’ve blocked it out of your mind.

Oscars 2015 Naomi Watts: Club Girl at the Oscars This was a polarising look at the etalk Oscars viewing party. Half the room hated it. Half the room loved it.

Oscars 2015 Idris Elba: Best Oscars Voice My best friend Fiona texted me during the Oscars last night. “Do they have a sexiest voice category?

Oscars 2015 Chloe Grace Moretz: Oscar pockets Chloe Grace Moretz is 18 years old. And if we’re going to make a Lindsay Lohan comparison, it wouldn’t work here, at the Oscars, because Chloe didn’t do a Lohan. She didn’t try to become The Fashion Moment. Which is why I quite like this choice. By Lainey • Feb 23, 2015 04:48 am

Maple Leaf Tegan and Sara & Lonely Island: Best Worst Song Nothing but love for the steeze that Tegan and Sara brought to the carpet at the Oscars, and not just because they’re Canadian.
