Style Lupita Nyong’o: Oscars Best Dressed (Lainey) Like I said at the top of the blog today – no dress punched me in the face with the real and true “best” at this year’s Oscars. Everything felt so … safe. So… subdued. Maybe it was the weather. Maybe it was a general lack of imagination. I mean, Amy By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 04:04 pm
Style Michael B Jordan: Oscars Best Man (Lainey) During out etalk Ultimate Oscars Guide, I posited that Michael B Jordan should have been nominated for Best Actor for his work in Fruitvale. You remember that scene when Oscar’s in the grocery store and he pretty much assaults his ex-manager to get his job back? Right after charming By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 03:37 pm
Oscars 2014 Matthew McConaughey & Camila Alves: Best Oscar Kiss Now that he’s actually a proper Oscar winner – what’s up Sarah Nostradamus! – you think people could properly pronounce Matthew McConaughey’s name? It’s not Mick-con-ah-KAY. It’s not Mick-con-ah-HEE. It’s Mick-con-ah-HAY. Anyway, that was a good kiss when his name was called. I believed that kiss. By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 02:59 pm
Oscars 2014 Anne Hathaway: Worst Oscar Presenter? I put a question mark at the end here because, well, as an Anne Hathaway apologist, it's kind of become a habit, a habit to keep asking -- if she did it differently would she still find a way to annoy you? But what a difference in a By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 02:12 pm
Oscars 2014 Channing Tatum: Oscar regular? Is this, like, three years in a row now that Channing Tatum has presented at the Oscars? I remember him being paired with Jennifer Aniston. Then last year he danced with Charlize Theron. This time he graduated to a solo appearance. But you already know that Tatum is a power By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 01:45 pm
Oscars 2014 Bradley Cooper: Two Oscar Dates The actors always get the prime positions. And placing the actors is always a good game of hierarchy. Meryl Streep and Leonardo DiCaprio were nominated for leading performances so it made sense to have them in the front row. Julia Roberts had to sit in the second row because, presumably, By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 01:14 pm
Oscars 2014 Jonah Hill: So many Oscar friends Jonah Hill, 2x Oscar nominee and friend of Marty, Leo, and Brange managed to control his sucky face last night after losing to Jared Leto. Because Marty, Leo, and Brange were all there! I'm not sure he gave an interview without namechecking Marty and Leo. And he already By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 10:59 am
Oscars 2014 Michael Fassbender: Oscar Invisible He didn't want to campaign. He wasn't into the whole drama. If he'd played though, I wonder if he couldn't have given Jared Leto a run. We'll never know though because Michael Fassbender decided not to participate. But he couldn& By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 10:18 am
Oscars 2014 Mrs Timberlake: Oscar one colour Mrs Timberlake wore Chanel Haute Couture, pretty much right off the runway. And since Chanel dresses so few people, it was certainly some kind of statement – she doesn’t have to wear Cavalli. Fine. But if I were Karl Lagerfeld, I’d reconsider for next time. Because she managed to By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 09:23 am
Bad Hair John Travolta: Worst Oscar Hair So he butchered Idina Menzel’s name. He f-cked that sh-t up so bad that within minutes there was a Twitter account for @AdeleDazim. I am still laughing about this. But it might be a little mean. Actually, laughing about people having trouble reading is totally mean. And check out By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 08:30 am
Oscars 2014 Jada Pinkett Smith: Worst Oscar pink There was some pink at the Oscars…and all of it was sh-t, but the worst of the sh-t was Jada Pinkett Smith. It’s Versace. I feel like we’ve seen it before. Or maybe it’s because it looks like what Sofia Vergara wears over and over and By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 08:00 am
Oscars 2014 Zac Efron & Kellan Lutz: Oscar lightweights One of my favourite things to say is that “the Academy doesn’t let riffraff onto its red carpet” which is why I didn’t believe for a minute that Rob Ford would actually be coming to the Oscars. And then Kellan Lutz showed up. Thing is, I’m not By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 07:41 am
Oscars 2014 Reese’s Oscar party cleave When’s the last time you remember seeing this much cleavage from Reese Witherspoon? Have you ever seen a side breast from Reese Witherspoon? If I were her, and after 3 children, I’d be showing side breast too. Have we found ourselves at the beginning of a Reese Witherspoon By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 06:47 am
Oscars 2014 Penelope Cruz: Oscars Most Disappointing At every event, there’s someone who wastes her potential. Almost everyone wasted their potential this year but I feel like Penelope Cruz wastes it more often than not. I mean, she’s capable of the spectacular. And what we get is too often pastels and feathers. Or a hybrid By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 06:22 am
Oscars 2014 Benedict Cumberbatch: Internet Famous at the Oscars One of our producers had a seat in the bleachers this year, taking pictures and Instagram video as part of our social media team. This is the text she sent me around noon: “I’m sitting with the MiniVan Majority.” When Benedict Cumberbatch arrived, no one in her section of By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 06:03 am
Oscars 2014 Jennifer Garner: Worst Oscar Shoes According to what the Academy’s volunteers were doing at rehearsal on Saturday, Jennifer Garner, an official presenter, was supposed to walk with Ben Affleck. There were two people with their names clearly marked pretending to be the Afflecks on the red carpet. Garner ended up coming alone, as you By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 05:26 am
