Oscars 2013 Britney’s Oscar brown About a month ago I wrote a post called “Forecasting Britney”: signs to look for, now that she’s single again, that… you know. An astute reader wrote in immediately after positing that: All that, plus if she goes brown, we are in trouble. Well… Here’s Britney at the By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 04:35 pm
Girlcrushes Jennifer Lawrence: the most popular girl at the Oscars Was it the best performance of the five? Probably not, right? I have personal attachment to Emmanuelle Riva because, well, Amour is my personal nightmare. My parents are Amour. Many of you thought it was Chastain’s Maya in Zero Dark Thirty. Still others identified with Naomi’s courageous mother By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 04:20 pm
Oscars 2013 Jennifer Garner wins Best Picture at the Oscars She was the silent producer. If they allowed four people up there, she should have been included. And we all know how much work she did. Because while she may not have been responsible for the filmmaking, Oscar is often more about how the film is presented, and less about By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 03:18 pm
Oscars 2013 Jack & George at the Oscars This might be my favourite photo of all the photos taken last night. Look at him. Look at Jack Nicholson. When did he become your cuddly Uncle Oscar? And will this be George Clooney in 25 years? Remember, Jack was George and Leo and more when it was safer to By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 02:53 pm
Oscars 2013 Oscars Best Speech: Daniel Day-Lewis They were essentially saying the same thing, Daniel Day-Lewis and Ben Affleck, right? They were appreciating their supportive wives. Ben chose to phrase it so that it was his wife’s primary responsibility to “work” on their marriage. DDL acknowledged that his wife had to deal with his artistic eccentricities, By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 02:36 pm
Oscars 2013 Best Oscar Recycling: Eddie Redmayne’s girlfriend Duana and I just awwwweed over this. You might think we’re stupid. Or overtired. Check out Eddie Redmayne and his girlfriend Hannah Bagshaw last night at the Oscars. She’s wearing a green dress. Now click here. That’s from December, in New York, at an event honouring Hugh By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 01:22 pm
Bad Style Worst Oscar Taffeta: Jennifer Aniston I hate red. I hate taffeta. Taffeta and red is like watching Big Bang Theory and Two And A Half Men back to back. It’s sh-t + sh-t, don’t care if it’s Valentino. And Jennifer Aniston chose to wear it last night at the Oscars. Look, credit to By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 12:52 pm
Bad Style Worst Oscar Tank Dress: Nicole Kidman As mentioned earlier in the Renee Zellweger article, there were some sparkly tank dresses happening last night. They have to be sparkly. Unless you’re Jennifer Lawrence in red at 19, they have to be sparkly because a tank dress is essentially, by style standards, LAZY. Covering it up with By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 11:57 am
Oscars 2013 Belly Cupping at the Oscars: the Tatums If everything is bigger and brighter at the Oscars, then the opposite is true too. Whatever is gross gets even grosser at the Oscars. Belly cupping is gross. Belly cupping at the Oscars is the grossest ever. If you’ve been reading my column for a while, you know I’ By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 11:16 am
Oscars 2013 Oscar Ambivalent: Emmanuelle Riva Emmanuelle Riva did not win. Emmanuella Riva did not campaign. It proved the point in the Vulture article I linked to last week: campaigning doesn’t guarantee a win, but NOT campaigning pretty much guarantees not winning. Duana mentioned that the only exception to that recently would be Mo’Nique. By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 10:27 am
Oscars 2013 Most in need of award season to end: Quvenzhane Wallis Everyone noted she was over it at the Spirit Awards on Saturday. She’s probably been over it for weeks, if not months. Because SHE IS 9. And 9 year old girls should not be campaigning for Oscar. The Spirit Awards press line was LONG. Poor thing, by the time By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 10:09 am
Bad Style Worst Oscar Hair Date: Hugh Jackman & Deborra Lee-Furness I feel like an asshole. It takes an asshole to not throw anything but love towards Hugh Jackman. But that ponytail. Do we just ignore the ponytail? We first saw the ponytail in the etalk control room while watching the pool feed during arrivals and…well… it was a collective By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 09:44 am
Gorgessity Best Non-Oscar Couple: Diane & Josh The two who are still together. Can we step away from the people who actually showed up the Oscars so that I can stroke my boner for Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson at the Vanity Fair party? Because LOOK AT THIS. It’s pure concentrated style porn. On both sides By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 08:54 am
Bad Hair Quickest Oscar Hair Growth: John Travolta Ridiculous. Here’s what John Travolta’s hair looked like a month ago. Don’t tell me this is all natural. My hair doesn’t even grow that fast. And I’m practically the world champion of hair growth. This is almost two inches. Please. Unless plugs grow faster? Like they’ By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 08:34 am
Oscars 2013 Oscars Most Improved: Halle Berry It was, by far, not the best dress of the night, and certainly not my flavour, but, and it’s crazy to say this about Halle Berry, by her standards, it’s a great improvement. Remember what she wore to the Golden Globes? Click here for a refresher. In comparison By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 08:05 am
Oscars 2013 Best Oscar Display of Humanity: Meryl Streep I was hardly the only one to see it, but I am delighted that we now have the potential to recapture it. This is fantastic. The best actress in the world picks her wedgie (I would also have accepted “adjusts her fullback underwear”), and not only smiles with grace about By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 07:49 am
