Oscars 2017 Taraji P Henson & Octavia Spencer: Oscar BFFs Good sweet LORD, Taraji P. Henson, you looked like something else last night. The dress and the hair and the sleepy-smoky eye makeup. Obviously she’s fantastic looking and has had other great looks this awards season, but this one, even though it wasn’t the most revealing or creative By Duana • Feb 27, 2017 11:11 am
Oscars 2017 Mahershala Ali’s Oscar first Every year, I watch the Oscars with my friend Liz. Every year, she makes fun of me for getting too emotional. This year, she decided to keep a running tally of how many times I cried. The first tears shed were for Mahershala Ali. I actually let out a dramatic By Kathleen • Feb 27, 2017 10:26 am
Oscars 2017 Lin-Manuel Miranda’s first Oscars Hi you! I don’t have to tell you this, but you’re getting pretty popular. People who didn’t know you last year call you ‘Lin’ now. I’m pretty sure your mom charmed everyone so much she’s about to get movie offers. Even your dog is famous: By Duana • Feb 27, 2017 10:12 am
Oscars 2017 Dev Patel: Oscar cutest Sorry about the not-very-creative title but there really is no way to say it. Dev Patel was the cutest last night. No, Lainey, Sunny Pawar was the cutest. Sunny was cute but one-dimensionally, like cute little kid cute. Dev, on the other hand, had cute multitudes. He’s super cute By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 09:37 am
Oscars 2017 Ava Duvernay: Best Oscar speech we didn’t get Ava Duvernay did not win her first Oscar last night. Her documentary 13th lost to Ezra Edelman’s 6-hour “film” OJ: Made in America. I loved both docs but considering Edelman’s OJ was more of a docu-miniseries that maybe should have won some Emmys instead of an Oscar, I By Kathleen • Feb 27, 2017 09:15 am
Style Naomie Harris: Surprise Oscar Connection The other night I told someone how, years ago, I was convinced I hated this show. I yelled at the TV, talked sh*t about it to anyone who would listen. In fact, my roommate would leave the room while I got all worked up about it—which meant I By Duana • Feb 27, 2017 08:59 am
Oscars 2017 The Icon’s losing face Meryl Streep is an icon. But Meryl Streep has 20 Oscar nominations and 3 wins. She loses 85% of the time at the Oscars. Which means she’s also used to losing. Isabelle Huppert… I’m not sure Isabelle has that losing percentage. Isabelle just won the Cesar Award on By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 08:31 am
Oscars 2017 Kirsten Dunst, a bit Oscar Perfect Sometimes I imagine what it would be like to be a celebrity, because obviously. But not the ones who say they live in a hotel and haven’t been home in a year and a half, because that’s boring. Sometimes, you take on a kind of grumpy, un-showy role By Duana • Feb 27, 2017 07:51 am
Oscars 2017 Jeremy Renner was there, too In case you missed it, Jeremy Renner was at the Oscars, too. I was trying not to bug Lainey during the broadcast, so I did not tweet her photos of Renner all night, but I know that he is her VERY FAVORITE person to show up places. I do so By Sarah • Feb 27, 2017 07:27 am
Oscars 2017 Leslie Mann’s Bile-Colored Taffeta I think I enjoy Leslie Mann more than most people because I enjoyed Funny People more than most people. She’s actually quite an active red carpet dresser because she and Judd Apatow work on so many different projects, and I’ve seen her take risks I really like. To By Maria • Feb 27, 2017 07:15 am
Oscars 2017 Alicia Vikander: Oscar boring Is it time to stop expecting Alicia Vikander to be one to style-watch? I just can’t remember the last time I was interested. This cap sleeve dress with the neckpiece is fine. It’s fine. You could even argue that as a returning Oscar winner and presenter, it was By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 06:58 am
Oscars 2017 Auli’i Cravalho is a star I was going to tell you that Auli’I Cravalho is a star because of how brightly her face shone when she sang tonight. I was going to tell you she was a star because Lin-Manuel Miranda, who may as well be actually canonized at this point, doesn’t introduce By Duana • Feb 27, 2017 06:50 am
Oscars 2017 Dakota Johnson & Jamie Dornan: Worst Oscar presenters I’ve not yet seen Fifty Shades Darker. It was supposed to be a night out with friends and we’d all get drunk and laugh throughout the movie but we couldn’t get our sh-t together and then forgot about it the next week. The movie is making good By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 06:14 am
Bad Style Felicity Jones is Sarah’s worst dressed No one asked me, but Felicity Jones is my worst dressed of the night. I was hating on her dumb dress all night, and in the cold dark of one AM, I can confidently say that I still hate it. It’s a stupid dress and I assume Felicity’s By Sarah • Feb 27, 2017 05:58 am
Oscars 2017 Hailee Steinfeld: Oscars Youthful Folly This wasn’t one of those ‘young’ years at the Oscars. Of course everyone fell in love with Sunny Pawar (and in my head he got to choose the candy that rained down, and we are kindred because Lemonheads and Mike and Ikes!), but he wasn’t subjected to long, By Duana • Feb 27, 2017 05:42 am
Oscars 2017 John Cho’s Oscar weekend Before presenting at the Oscars on Sunday, John Cho was at the UTA rally. Did you hear about this? UTA throws an Oscar party every year. And it’s one of the best parties to go to for gossip. The misbehaving Batman has been known to accumulate some of his By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 05:31 am
