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?

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 tall 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 Evans 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
Oscars 2016 Julianne Moore: Oscars Least Notable I don’t mean anything bad by the title above. Julianne Moore is one of my favourites. But we know why she was there—she was there to present the best actor award because the previous winner for best actress always is. She said nothing incendiary on the carpet. Her By Duana • Feb 29, 2016 11:22 am
Oscars 2016 Taylor's Oscar plunge Taylor Swift and Lorde showed up together to the Vanity Fair Oscar party. I guess Taylor isn't bugged that Lorde was holding hands with Diplo the other day. Click here for refresher. Whatever. All that matters is that there was this Alexander Vauthier dress she wanted to wear. By Lainey • Feb 29, 2016 11:14 am
Oscars 2016 Kevin Hart: Best Oscar Advantage You can see it in everyone’s eyes at the Oscars—there are high stakes. The people who are nominated know their lives change if they win. The people who are presenting or posing on the red carpet know these are the pictures that will be used all year long— By Duana • Feb 29, 2016 10:52 am
Oscars 2016 Olivia Wilde’s Oscar pleats The pleating is gorgeous on this dress. And especially at the back, around the neck. Once upon a time, Olivia Wilde could have been a best dressed contender. Here’s why she wasn’t last night, though, and it has nothing to do with the design or Olivia but the By Lainey • Feb 29, 2016 10:19 am
Oscars 2016 Tina Fey: Oscar Most Aspirational Yesterday I watched the various Oscar events on about 4 different screens, because of geoblocking and live shows and tweeting and etc. So I saw a lot, and one of the things I noticed was that Variety dropped their review of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot about 20 minutes before Tina Fey By Duana • Feb 29, 2016 10:03 am
Oscars 2016 My Obsession & the Oscars Let’s head over to the Vanity Fair Oscar party for a moment and check in on My Obsession. That jacket. That print. All of it together. THEM! As you know, Sam Taylor-Johnson directed Fifty Shades Of Grey. Fifty Shades Of Grey was nominated for an Oscar. For Best By Lainey • Feb 29, 2016 09:53 am
Oscars 2016 Louis CK: Oscars Most Vigilant Do you think that Louis CK asked to present the award for best documentary short? Or do you think he was assigned? I’m willing to bet the latter, and that he wandered around for days trying to find the right ‘in’ to the category. Or maybe it came to By Duana • Feb 29, 2016 09:33 am
Oscars 2016 Margot Robbie: Best Icon Dress It’s not such a surprise to have someone wear a gold column dress. Someone wears one every couple of awards shows—at the Golden Globes or SAG awards as well as the Oscars—and they have their place. They’re beautiful and they’re of course evocative of the By Duana • Feb 29, 2016 09:21 am
Oscars 2016 Sylvester Stallone: the Oscar snub Mark Rylance is a well-respected actor and he was the only part of Bridge Of Spies that was remotely interesting because let’s face it, the film was boring and the only reason why it even got invited was SPIELBERG. Without taking anything away from Mark’s talent though, By Lainey • Feb 29, 2016 09:12 am
Oscars 2016 Chrissy Teigen: Best Reaction to Worst Oscars In-Joke Why yes, I did like that dress. I’m not sure it would work if she weren’t pregnant, and I guess it’s also pretty literal in the sense that yeah, she’s in bloom. But if the worst criticism of an outfit is that it’s literal, well, By Duana • Feb 29, 2016 08:28 am
