Oscars 2016 Gwen Stefani’s Oscar Choices Gwen and Blake hit the Vanity Fair party, and as someone who stresses over outfits, I feel like this might be an even more stressful invitation than the Oscars. If you only get invited to the VF party, you have to gauge how ‘out there’ to go without the balance By Lainey • Feb 29, 2016 04:40 pm
Oscars 2016 Jennifer Lawrence: the Oscar last I was still on the balcony last night finishing up some shots when we started hearing the commotion in our earpieces to try to time a standup for Jennifer Lawrence’s arrival. It was, literally, two minutes to show time. Literally. She came with David O Russell, took a few By Lainey • Feb 29, 2016 04:32 pm
Oscars 2016 Cate Blanchett’s Ageless Oscars There have been some FUSSY emails today about botox or fillers or micro derma Sweet Potatoes and why we aren’t writing indictments of everyone suspected to use these things. I think 2003 has come and gone, you know? From what I understand, accusing most Hollywood performers of using these By Duana • Feb 29, 2016 04:19 pm
Oscars 2016 JT & Jessica at Vanity Fair “Who do you hate more – Justin Timberlake or Leonardo DiCaprio?” – what I just asked Duana a few minutes ago that resulted in a really fun discussion about who, really, is the worst. For her it’s Leo. And the difference is Saturday Night Live. In Duana’s mind, JT’s By Lainey • Feb 29, 2016 04:10 pm
Oscars 2016 Lady Gaga's Oscar Performance First a brief moment to say that, though her outfit did not fit well (and see earlier where I don’t understand why we commit crimes against breasts), I would always rather see an interesting choice that’s not quite right than a boring column. But that’s not really By Duana • Feb 29, 2016 03:48 pm
Oscars 2016 Alicia & Michael’s Oscar kiss “It came true.” Word spoken by another Best Supporting Actress a couple of years ago. But in Annie Hathaway’s case, it took a LOT longer. For Alicia Vikander? Seems like it was just 12 months, when she told W Magazine that she’d have three films in contention at By Lainey • Feb 29, 2016 03:29 pm
Oscars 2016 Rooney Mara is a Well-Dressed Oscars Suck I love, love, love the word ‘suck’. Not like ‘that sucks’, although I do frequently employ that terminology— but like, ‘you’re being a suck’. Remember when we were kids and someone was always being a sucky baby? Now when we talk about it, we use kids’ language and say By Duana • Feb 29, 2016 03:11 pm
Oscars 2016 Rachel McAdams: the Oscar rebrand Rachel McAdams presented last night with Michael B Jordan. MBJ did not walk the carpet. So there are very few shots of him, which is disappointing because, hello, he’s Michael B Jordan. Anyway, after they presented all kinds of people tweeted at me about Gossip Genie’ing the two By Lainey • Feb 29, 2016 03:01 pm
Oscars 2016 Ryan & Russell: Oscar red carpet skippers Ryan Gosling didn't walk the carpet at the Golden Globes. It was predictable the moment they announced he would be presenting at the Oscars that it would be unlikely he'd walk the carpet. At this point probably not unless he's nominated. But he did By Lainey • Feb 29, 2016 01:58 pm
Oscars 2016 Naomi Watts: Oscar Prom Dress I think a few times before I’ve been not so down with Naomi’s red carpet style. I think it’s totally fair that we just don’t necessarily jive, style-wise. I bet she’s really upset about it too. But in all seriousness, that’s cool. Something isn’ By Duana • Feb 29, 2016 01:42 pm
Oscars 2016 The Weeknd: Purest Oscar Pitch Remember when we didn’t know anything about The Weeknd? When he was this anonymous shadowy persona, and we didn’t have any knowledge of him or his hair or his romances, and hadn’t read any dark and twisty Rolling Stone pieces on him yet? There were just those By Duana • Feb 29, 2016 01:01 pm
Boy Sh-t Sam Smith: Oscar gay boy sh-t! Can we start with how that song won for Best Song? How f-cking uncomfortable too that it happened right after Gaga performed and had everyone sobbing in the aisles. It was AWKWARD in that theatre. Because, um, that was a sh-t Bond theme, wasn't it? Like there' By Lainey • Feb 29, 2016 12:55 pm
Oscars 2016 Charlize Theron, Oscars Princess Not a princess dress, of course. That dress is a perfect example of what people mean when they say a piece of clothing is ‘art’. Lainey touched on it a little, but the outfits are a big deal that take a lot of effort and preparation—we can still acknowledge By Duana • Feb 29, 2016 12:28 pm
Oscars 2016 Matt Damon's Oscar date night I should say "Oscar date weekend". Matt Damon had two dates all weekend: his wife, Luciana, and his best friend, Ben. On Friday there was a big WME party - Ben goes often. Three years ago I heard he was pretty drunk there and flirting hard with a By Lainey • Feb 29, 2016 12:20 pm
Oscars 2016 Chris Evans Has Unexpected Oscar Charm So my friend Matt made a joke a while back about "the five Chrises - Chris Pine, Chris Pratt, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, and Bradley Cooper”. I laughed, for very many people would bungle which Chris was which, and while I can pat myself on the back for separating By Duana • Feb 29, 2016 12:07 pm
Top Reads Jennifer Garner: Best Oscar Single I loved Friday. I loved it so much because of Jennifer Garner. God that Vanity Fair article. Click here if you missed my post on it last week. She threw down a lesson in public scolding without getting your hands dirty. Remember, I always did say she had the Amazing By Lainey • Feb 29, 2016 11:54 am
