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 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
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 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’ 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 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 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 By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 06:58 am
