Oscars 2017 Ruth Negga: Oscar Best Dressed (Lainey) Our live red carpet show, etalk at the Oscars, doesn’t start until 3pm PT/6pm ET. So we were really happy that this year, the stars decided to show up early instead rushing through the last hour. Ruth Negga came early. She showed up just after 230pm PT, graciously By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 04:51 pm
Top Reads Emma Stone Has An Oscar Hands up if you like Emma Stone – as an actress, not just a cute personality. Keep them up if you think she’s one of the best of her ‘class’. That is, if you think she can hold her own against Michelle Williams, Jennifer Lawrence, Natalie Portman, Anna Kendrick? Yeah, By Duana • Feb 27, 2017 04:40 pm
Top Reads Ben Affleck’s big brother hug Ben Affleck was very emotional last night when Casey Affleck won the Oscar. He kissed and hugged his little brother. He was teary-eyed in the audience during Casey’s acceptance speech. Ben Affleck gives his brother Casey Affleck a big hug and a kiss for winning Best Actor at the By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 04:25 pm
Oscars 2017 Best Vanity Fair Party Girl: Reese Witherspoon Reese Witherspoon did not really have a film in the Oscar or awards season conversation this year. Sure, she was hustling for Sing! (which was a lot of fun), but she was not an Academy presenter on Sunday night, nor did she have a film to represent. None of these By Joanna • Feb 27, 2017 04:09 pm
Oscars 2017 Denzel Washington: Worst Oscar Night So I know a little bit about acting. Not a lot. One of the things I know, though, is that the term itself can be a little bit of a misnomer. It’s not necessarily about ‘acting’ as in pretending to be sad or joyous or whatever, but about accessing By Duana • Feb 27, 2017 03:44 pm
Oscars 2017 Kate Hudson: Oscars Standby Kate Hudson is a staple at the Vanity Fair Oscar party – it’s the biggest party night of the year, and even though she hasn’t been nominated since 2001, Kate is not George Clooney. She’s not skipping the party just because she doesn’t have a concrete reason By Maria • Feb 27, 2017 03:20 pm
Oscars 2017 Leo, the Oscar-winning presenter Leonardo DiCaprio returned to the Oscars a year after The Struggle to present Best Actress in his role as immediate-previous Best Actor. As you know, once you win an Oscar, the title is forever attached to your name. We recently interviewed Anna Paquin on The Social and when we introduced By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 03:14 pm
Oscars 2017 Viola Davis: Most Anticipated Oscar I didn’t think the show last night felt long. Don’t get me wrong, it was—but because of last night’s tight races and unpredictability, the time seemed to go by quickly, unlike other years where it’s just an eventuality for a win. That made Viola Davis By Duana • Feb 27, 2017 02:40 pm
Oscars 2017 Michelle & Busy: Oscar Social Lubricant Like it was with Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Michelle Williams and Busy Phillips were underneath our etalk balcony position for a good amount of time last night ...fascinating. Danielle Graham and I could not get enough of the dynamic. Our balcony is right above the final photo wall before By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 02:26 pm
Oscars 2017 Oscar Meryl 20 There were a number of people at the show last night (and one who wasn’t at the show. So much power to you, Natalie Portman), who knew they had absolutely no chance of winning. None. Sometimes Oscar races are legitimate-ish races, and there’s more and less likely contenders, By Duana • Feb 27, 2017 02:00 pm
Oscars 2017 Jennifer Aniston: A Quiet Victory Lap Let’s face it, unless she walks the red carpet with Brad Pitt (or Angelina Jolie), any Jennifer Aniston Oscar appearance is going to seem kind of quiet compared to the year the triangle came face-to-face. But I never count Jen out. First, the look. She’s always good to By Maria • Feb 27, 2017 01:42 pm
Oscars 2017 Halle's one look Most people seem to have a problem with Halle Berry's hair. I like her hair. I like big hair. Red carpet hair is so often so boring, so the same. And there's rarely any volume. So Halle's hair, to me, is way better than By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 01:15 pm
Top Reads Ryan Gosling – Most Oscar Obfuscating It’s hard to remember now, but back in the day, before Hey Girl and then the intense desire to not be Hey Girl, Ryan Gosling kind of sometimes had a sense of humour. An offbeat one for sure, and it didn’t always come out to play, but it By Duana • Feb 27, 2017 12:42 pm
Oscars 2017 Brie Larson's Casey face Casey Affleck Best Actor over Denzel Washington. Or do you prefer Jezebel's headline "F-cking Creep Wins Oscar"? For the last 13 years, the actor who wins the SAG goes on to win the Oscar. Denzel took the SAG. And Casey broke the trend, killed the streak. By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 12:26 pm
Oscars 2017 John Legend…but, really, Chrissy Teigen Even though John Legend has been promoting La La Land all season, stories have usually wound up being about Chrissy Teigen. I am far from innocent in this regard – she just makes it so easy. Chrissy Teigen is almost compulsively interesting. But today it was really supposed to be about By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 12:07 pm
Oscars 2017 Nicole & Keith at the Oscars I spent a decent amount of time watching Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban at the Oscars, how they interact, how they connect to each other. They’re friendly on the red carpet. They talk to people. They’re not there to just keep themselves like some of the others – ahem, By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 11:36 am
