Oscars 2018 Not Emma Stone’s Night If one wonky thing happens to me in a day, I barely notice. If there are three – an annoying work call, a gross lunch, and a traffic jam, I might feel entitled to grump around for 15 minutes when I get home, even though what I just described is basically By Duana • Mar 05, 2018 02:54 pm
Oscars 2018 Saoirse’s familiar pink at the Oscars One of my favourite Oscars behind-the-scenes stories is from 2013 when Anne Hathaway changed her dress last minute because she found out Amanda Seyfried was wearing something similar. The dress Anne Hathaway changed into was a pale pink Prada situation that, as Duana aptly noted at the time, “is not By Kathleen • Mar 05, 2018 02:35 pm
Oscars 2018 Jennifer Garner: Oscar meme Every year, a celebrity in the audience at the Oscars becomes a meme when the camera cuts away to them and they’re serving some kind of face. It’s happened to Chrissy Teigen. It’s happened to Chris Pine. It happened to Meryl Streep, yes girling Patricia Arquette. Now By Lainey • Mar 05, 2018 02:12 pm
Jordan Peele Jordan Peele’s Get Out Oscar This was another one of those articles we all wanted to write. I think because Get Out affected each of us in a particular way. As I mentioned on Show Your Work, I only watched it recently, but have been thinking about it ever since. Awards for Get Out started By Duana • Mar 05, 2018 01:53 pm
Oscars 2018 Winston & Lupita? While the Oscars were happening, Black Panther was busy winning the box office for the third weekend in a row. The movie has now grossed over $900 million worldwide. They’re predicting it’ll be officially a billion dollars next weekend. A BILLION. The Oscars, then, as we’ve been By Lainey • Mar 05, 2018 01:28 pm
Oscars 2018 Jennifer Lawrence and Friends The day after the Oscars we all have writing ebbs and flows, but I was doing OK productivity-wise until we started talking about the ages of various presenters/ nominees/ winners, and then I realized I’ve done nothing with my life and should probably just give up now. Yes, I By Duana • Mar 05, 2018 01:00 pm
Oscars 2018 Eiza Gonzalez’s first Oscar dress There were a number of people at the Oscars last night for the first time as presenters or nominees or both. What’s the strategy? Do you remember the first time Emma Stone was at the Oscars? She co-presented with Ben Stiller. She was one of the best presenters of By Lainey • Mar 05, 2018 12:36 pm
Oscars 2018 Kumail Nanjiani Won The Oscars He didn’t, of course. He and his wife Emily V. Gordon were nominated for their screenplay The Big Sick and didn’t win, though it picked up Best First Screenplay at the Independent Spirit Awards the night before. I was anxious about this – The Big Sick was a totally By Duana • Mar 05, 2018 12:01 pm
Girlcrushes Janelle Monae 2067 I’m convinced that Janelle Monae is a time-travelling superhuman from 2067. She is too damn cool for us mere mortals of 2018. She also loves telling futuristic fantasies and sci-fi fairy tales through her music, just like a future space traveler would. Look at this picture Janelle posted from By Kathleen • Mar 05, 2018 11:28 am
Oscars 2018 Badass Emma Watson’s Bad Grammar Thank God for Vanity Fair and the other parties, which have changed from being exclusive events where nominees sometimes changed clothes and avoided the ‘novelty invite’ people, to still-exclusive events that, it is acknowledged, might be more fun than the main event and give stars a chance to shake things By Duana • Mar 05, 2018 11:05 am
Oscars 2018 King Chadwick Chadwick. Holy sh-t. Boseman. I can’t get over Chadwick’s entire look. Every few minutes, I just say “Chadwick” out loud to no one in particular. Duana and Lainey have started to ignore me. HOLY SH-T, CHADWICK. We were waiting for Chadwick Boseman. Every time a limo car door By Kathleen • Mar 05, 2018 10:42 am
Oscars 2018 Miley & Liam six years later Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth made two Oscar stops last night – the Elton John annual Oscar party and the Vanity Fair party. Which they’ve not done since 2012. And this is what they looked like back then: It’s very similar, isn’t it? Here’s a comparison shot By Lainey • Mar 05, 2018 10:31 am
Oscars 2018 When Frances McDormand Says Jump… Remember Frances McDormand being surprised at her win? Or if not surprised (because she’s won every award all season and actively asked people to stop voting for her), then kind of flustered? Did you wonder why? Apparently because if she had to go through the irritation of actually winning By Duana • Mar 05, 2018 10:05 am
Oscars 2018 Viola Davis wows in pink Have I mentioned that I worked the Oscars this year yet? I’m super chill about it so I don’t think I have. Well, I was there and in our production truck, when Viola Davis showed up, there were “wows” out loud from some of the men in the By Kathleen • Mar 05, 2018 09:15 am
Style Angela Bassett’s Oscar sequins What. The. F-CK, Angela Bassett. And please don’t misunderstand. I’m not dragging her. Not at all. Why would I dare? Who would dare? This is Angela Bassett. So the WTF is not about Angela Bassett in any way sucking. It is about how Angela Bassett does not suck By Lainey • Mar 05, 2018 08:57 am
Oscars 2018 Margot Robbie Oscar disappointment I’m not talking about Margot Robbie losing the Oscar to Frances McDormand. We knew that was going to happen. I’m talking about her dress. This weekend, Lainey wrote that Margot’s bold look at the Spirit Awards must have meant that she was gearing up to “serve it By Kathleen • Mar 05, 2018 08:12 am
