Oscars 2016 Kerry Washington: Oscars Best Dressed (Lainey) I feel like maybe the photos you’re seeing aren’t representing what this actually looked like in person. I was a few feet away from her and she was ON IT when she was posing at the photo wall. The construction of this dress, the way the leather weaves By Lainey • Feb 29, 2016 06:59 pm
Oscars 2016 Brie Larson: Oscars Worst Dressed (Duana) I don’t know what I was expecting, in particular. Brie has had some choices I liked and some I didn’t and some, like her Golden Globes dress, that I grew into loving, surprising myself. But this dress did not feel loveworthy at all. It was just too MUCH. By Duana • Feb 29, 2016 06:58 pm
Oscars 2016 Saoirse Ronan: Oscars Best Dressed (Duana) Do you remember my saying, a few weeks ago, that people were getting down on Saoirse Ronan for her apparently strengthening accent? Do you remember hearing that there was a bit of Tall Poppy Syndrome levied at her? Remember the unremarkable dress she wore to the Golden Globes in January? By Duana • Feb 29, 2016 06:29 pm
Oscars 2016 Reese Witherspoon: Oscars Worst Dressed (Lainey) I got happy, so happy, the moment I saw Reese Witherspoon arrive. In THIS. And she’s not wearing it ironically. First of all, it’s taffeta. Also it has a breast addition on top of her breasts and an extra ass on top of her ass…!!! WHY IS THE By Lainey • Feb 29, 2016 06:10 pm
Oscars 2016 Mark Ruffalo’s Almost Oscar I said it last night on Twitter, but there’s very little that’s crueler than being up for an award with four other people if one of the people—the one who is CERTAIN not to win anything—shares three syllables of a name with you. “And the Oscar By Duana • Feb 29, 2016 05:55 pm
Oscars 2016 Leo: the victory and the relief Before we begin, let us, together, enjoy this: The first time Leonardo DiCaprio got Oscar buzz was after starring in THIS BOYS LIFE with Robert De Niro. pic.twitter.com/OJ5JYkpufx— Sam Kalidi (@samkalidi) February 29, 2016 Duana sent that to me at 3am. It was better than caffeine. Leonardo By Lainey • Feb 29, 2016 05:48 pm
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 By Duana • Feb 29, 2016 01:42 pm
