SAG Awards 2018 This Is Us wins GIVE STERLING K. BROWN ALL THE AWARDS. What have I been saying all season? I’m not one to gloat (I totally am) but 12 days ago I wrote that This Is Us is the best drama on network television. Last night, the SAG Awards validated my correct opinion by By Kathleen • Jan 22, 2018 10:46 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Brie & Lupita at the end I really enjoyed where Lupita Nyong’o was seated last night at the SAGs. Right in front. Sort of like where Oprah was sitting at the Golden Globes. Like so many other attendees, Lupita was in sparkles. Grey in some light but with a metallic blue tone on the carpet.

SAG Awards 2018 Niecy Nash, Olivia Munn, and …Chris Pratt? Two weeks ago at the Critics’ Choice Awards, Olivia Munn (who hosted) did a bit with Niecy Nash calling out Hollywood predators and also Mark Wahlberg. I was into it. And I was into the repeat performance last night when they co-presented at the SAGs, making a point that there By Lainey • Jan 22, 2018 10:11 am
SAG Awards 2018 Allison Janney: SAG Seventh Win Is it not amazing how the movies and shows and performances get shifted or elevated or changed in your mind? I saw I, Tonya before it was in wide release, so those who had seen it at film festivals were mostly talked out and everyone who hadn’t seen it By Duana • Jan 22, 2018 09:53 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Ruby in blue I want to say something that Ruby would say on black-ish but I think that would be disrespectful. Ruby’s trademark phrases and expressions are not for me. They are meant for me to enjoy, not to borrow. So, if you watch the show, please, as you’re reading this By Lainey • Jan 22, 2018 09:31 am
Frances and her “doorstops” On Saturday, the Producers Guild awarded its best picture honour to The Shape Of Water. The PGAs are reliable predictors for Oscar, although they chose La La Land last year and Moonlight went on to win. Last night, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri won for Best Ensemble, the SAG equivalent By Lainey • Jan 22, 2018 08:55 am
SAG Awards 2018 You Need Gina Rodriguez In Your Life I am all about the SAG awards having only female presenters, and it was pleasantly not noticeable in the way that men must feel all the time but I was of the opinion that Gina Rodriguez presenting with Megan Mullally was a slightly odd pairing, first of all, and a By Duana • Jan 22, 2018 08:34 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Yara’s SAG jumpsuit Have you been watching grown-ish? It gets better and better every episode. And they’re really going for it in how they’re presenting college life. This is not “safe” afternoon programming for innocent adolescents. These are young people pulling all-nighters, partying more than they’re studying, and casually dropping By Lainey • Jan 22, 2018 08:04 am
Gorgessity Tracee Ellis Ross: on agency and shoes As Duana just noted, there were a LOT of sequins going on last night. Every other dress glittered. Tracee Ellis Ross glittered in a breathtaking white Ralph & Russo gown with a wrap-around cape situation that fell off one shoulder. She looked magnificent. Tracee was there as part of the By Lainey • Jan 22, 2018 07:45 am
SAG Awards 2018 Kristen Bell, First Host The SAG awards doesn’t get enough credit for being its own kind of weirdo awards show. It’s mercifully brief, there aren’t really ‘bits’ aside from the whole “I am an actor” business, and am I the only one who likes the whole long, slanted tables so nobody’ By Duana • Jan 22, 2018 07:28 am
Equality Issues Intro for January 22, 2018 Dear Gossips, Viola Davis won the Best Supporting Actress Screen Actors Guild Award last year for her work in Fences and she went on to win the same award at the Oscars. Viola was not at the SAGs last night but she spoke in LA on Saturday at the Women’ By Lainey • Jan 22, 2018 06:59 am
What Else What Else? Colin Firth has released a statement about Woody Allen. Well, more like a sentence, really. And it’s hard to read tone into it. Which is good, in the one sense, because that statement is clear, definitive, leaves no room for interpretation. But… why do I keep hearing, like, exasperation By Lainey • Jan 19, 2018 04:33 pm
Name Nerd CHICAGO WEST Noooooope this is not the way any of us thought this was going to go. Not one of us. Don’t you lie. Nobody saw this coming. About a month ago Lainey really latched onto my suggestion of ‘Truth’ -- and I mean, based on ‘North’ and ‘Saint’, I felt By Duana • Jan 19, 2018 04:20 pm
Lifestyle Sasha Finds: Winter swimwear If you live on the east coast then you have no feeling in any of your appendages because holy f-ck this winter has been so damn cold. I’m desperately trying to figure out where to go to eat some vitamin d, but in the meantime it’s time to By Sasha • Jan 19, 2018 03:33 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Chris Hemsworth in 12 Strong In what is hopefully the last gasp of his typical Hollywood action career, before he fully embraces his destiny as a comedy grunt, Chris Hemsworth stars in 12 Strong, a movie so patriotic and mediocre you’d think it was directed by late-era Clint Eastwood. But it’s not, it’ By Sarah • Jan 19, 2018 03:05 pm
Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, January 19, 2018 Over the holidays I read Celeste Ng’s newest book, Little Fires Everywhere. I absolutely love her work. Celeste posted this exchange with her mother on Instagram, and a lot of people didn’t get it. Their parent must not be immigrants. If I told my mom I had a By Maria • Jan 19, 2018 01:50 pm
