BFFs Timmy at the Oscar parties When it was announced that Saoirse Ronan was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in Little Women and that Timothee Chalamet would be presenting, the corner of the internet that lights up for their friendship (Joanna is one of them) was expecting that there’d be at least a By Lainey • Feb 11, 2020 12:39 pm
Royals Return of the Sussexes Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were in Miami last week to speak at the private JP Morgan Summit. Harry apparently talked about mental health, coping with his mother’s death, and his decision to take his family out of senior royal status. There are conflicting reports about whether or not By Lainey • Feb 11, 2020 11:08 am
Break Ups Clarence and Cambridge United It hasn’t been a good start to the new decade for the British royal family. Their biggest problem right now – or at least it should be – is Prince Andrew. Andrew was friends with Jeffrey Epstein, the dead rapist pedophile, and he apparently hasn’t made himself available to help By Lainey • Feb 11, 2020 10:23 am
Oscars 2020 Intro for February 11, 2020 Dear Gossips, For the last few weeks, we’ve all been thirsting for the least thirsty person – which is probably why we can’t get enough of her. You know who I’m talking about: it’s Sharon Choi, the filmmaker and interpreter who’s been showing the sh-t of By Lainey • Feb 11, 2020 09:14 am
What Else What Else? Thanks for reading our post-Oscars coverage today! Duana claims that most of her mail is about Ray Romano and is basically telling me to suck it. Seriously? Are we sure? In non-Oscar news from the weekend, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had dinner with Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez when By Lainey • Feb 10, 2020 04:48 pm
Maple Leaf Sandra Oh: The Heavenly Angel & The Black Swan – Oscars Best Dressed (Lainey) I came across an outlet that had Sandra Oh on their Worst Dressed List because it was “too much”. Um, in what f-cking world?! Her golden peach Elie Saab dress to the Oscars proper was, quite simply, her best red carpet outfit Of All Time. And yes, I had the By Lainey • Feb 10, 2020 04:33 pm
Bad Style Margot Robbie: Oscars Worst Dressed (Lainey) There’s nothing wrong, really, with Margot Robbie’s Oscar 2020 dress. It’s fine. It’s black. It’s strapless. There’s chiffon wrapped around her forearms leaving a trail down the length of her body. And I suppose that’s a pretty-ish effect, but also not really all By Lainey • Feb 10, 2020 03:30 pm
Oscars 2020 Brad Pitt: Oscar Prom King Hollywood is high school. That’s why everyone wants Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston to get back together – don’t we want to see the Prom King and Queen together forever and ever, happily ever after? Brad was finally crowned last night at the Oscars and while we were all By Lainey • Feb 10, 2020 02:59 pm
Coincidence or conspiracy Leo’s Oscar date …dejavu? The last time Leonardo DiCaprio went to the Oscars with a date who wasn’t a relative was in 2005, Gisele Bundchen. It was kind of a big deal back then because up to that point, and mostly still now, Leo’s method has been to never put his love By Lainey • Feb 10, 2020 01:21 pm
Style Timmy’s Oscar Tracksuit What I like most about Billie Eilish’s approach to fashion is that she doesn’t compromise her style identity for quality. She’s been wearing luxury brands on every carpet while avoiding a ball gown. Everything is an oversized designer label, and completely in tune with her current fashion By Lainey • Feb 10, 2020 12:12 pm
Oscars 2020 Scarlett’s Oscar metallics I’m always interested in celebrity schedules. Scarlett Johansson was at the Spirit Awards in Santa Monica on Saturday. Colin Jost was in New York for Saturday Night Live. So to join her at the Oscars last night, he would have had to fly out of NYC, probably Teterboro via By Lainey • Feb 10, 2020 09:04 am
Oscars 2020 Diane Keaton & Keanu Reeves: An Oscar Reunion Every year, the etalk team spends days ahead of the Oscars working on questions and talking points for our Oscars pre-show live broadcast. Basically we run down the list of nominees and presenters and memorise the research packs and pick out which points we want to drop in when they By Lainey • Feb 10, 2020 07:18 am
Oscars 2020 Olivia Colman: Oscars Best Blue Velvet Last year, Olivia Colman gave one of the best acceptance speeches of the night when she won the Best Actress Oscar for her performance in The Favourite. She is also an excellent presenter. Last night she got up there and talked about her sex life which was adorable and delightful By Lainey • Feb 10, 2020 06:17 am
Oscars 2020 Utkarsh Ambudkar: The Oscar Introduction Many people have been critical of the Oscars this year for the lack of inclusion in its major categories and trying to make up for it with its presenters criticising the Oscars for the lack of inclusion. Like is it enough to acknowledge that you can do better without actually By Lainey • Feb 10, 2020 05:17 am
Oscars 2020 Cynthia Erivo: Best First Oscars It’s not that Cynthia Erivo hasn’t been to the Oscars before so, technically, it’s not her first Oscars. But it is her first Oscars as an Oscar nominee. Which is another level of special – to be invited to the show because you’ve been singled out for By Lainey • Feb 10, 2020 04:30 am
Oscars 2020 Intro for February 10, 2020 Dear Gossips, The Oscars, obviously, aren’t perfect. Far from perfect. And after what happened last night, it doesn’t make its shortcomings any less… short. But something special did happen. History happened. The first South Korean film to be nominated for Best Picture actually won Best Picture – after winning By Lainey • Feb 10, 2020 03:48 am
