Bad Style Worst Oscar Taffeta: Jennifer Aniston I hate red. I hate taffeta. Taffeta and red is like watching Big Bang Theory and Two And A Half Men back to back. It’s sh-t + sh-t, don’t care if it’s Valentino. And Jennifer Aniston chose to wear it last night at the Oscars. Look, credit to By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 12:52 pm
Oscars 2013 Best Oscar imitation of someone else – Salma Hayek Salma Hayek looks absolutely beautiful. She’s stunning in this dress, even if the neckline reminds me of nothing more than a tree trunk. Can I say that and still be complimentary? I really do mean to. But the reason I say she’s an imitation of someone else is By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 12:33 pm
Bad Style Worst Oscar Space Case: Amanda Seyfried Amanda Seyfried actually kind of makes me laugh at the best of times, and though I thought the Jimmy Kimmel piece was really overdone, I did like the part where she broke it down dancing in Cosette’s clothes. She’s harmless, she’s entertaining at times, she’s pretty By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 12:20 pm
Bad Style Worst Oscar Tank Dress: Nicole Kidman As mentioned earlier in the Renee Zellweger article, there were some sparkly tank dresses happening last night. They have to be sparkly. Unless you’re Jennifer Lawrence in red at 19, they have to be sparkly because a tank dress is essentially, by style standards, LAZY. Covering it up with By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 11:57 am
Gorgessity Best Oscar Colour Chameleon: Kerry Washington You know that saying? That when you dislike someone the way he holds his fork will annoy you, but if you like him and he throws his plate in your lap, you’ll still like him? This is how I feel about Kerry Washington’s dress. I love everything she By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 11:31 am
Oscars 2013 Belly Cupping at the Oscars: the Tatums If everything is bigger and brighter at the Oscars, then the opposite is true too. Whatever is gross gets even grosser at the Oscars. Belly cupping is gross. Belly cupping at the Oscars is the grossest ever. If you’ve been reading my column for a while, you know I’ By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 11:16 am
Aging Gorgessity Best Oscar Red: Sally Field You know, I know that red dresses are kind of frowned upon on this site from time to time. I know that the prevailing wisdom is that it’s impossible to do one well. To this I say you know what? We’re throwing out the rule book. Because Sally By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 10:48 am
Oscars 2013 Oscar Ambivalent: Emmanuelle Riva Emmanuelle Riva did not win. Emmanuella Riva did not campaign. It proved the point in the Vulture article I linked to last week: campaigning doesn’t guarantee a win, but NOT campaigning pretty much guarantees not winning. Duana mentioned that the only exception to that recently would be Mo’Nique. By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 10:27 am
Oscars 2013 Most in need of award season to end: Quvenzhane Wallis Everyone noted she was over it at the Spirit Awards on Saturday. She’s probably been over it for weeks, if not months. Because SHE IS 9. And 9 year old girls should not be campaigning for Oscar. The Spirit Awards press line was LONG. Poor thing, by the time By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 10:09 am
Bad Style Worst Oscar Hair Date: Hugh Jackman & Deborra Lee-Furness I feel like an asshole. It takes an asshole to not throw anything but love towards Hugh Jackman. But that ponytail. Do we just ignore the ponytail? We first saw the ponytail in the etalk control room while watching the pool feed during arrivals and…well… it was a collective By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 09:44 am
Bad Hair Worst Oscar Audience Shot: Kristen Stewart Jacek and I were going back and forth on getting stills or a GIF of KStew in the audience, and ultimately decided on stills, because, he assured me, “you’ll still get all the grease in that shot”. And she is! Somehow, she is greasy! It’s not that her By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 09:04 am
Gorgessity Best Non-Oscar Couple: Diane & Josh The two who are still together. Can we step away from the people who actually showed up the Oscars so that I can stroke my boner for Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson at the Vanity Fair party? Because LOOK AT THIS. It’s pure concentrated style porn. On both sides By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 08:54 am
Hollywood Closet Quickest Oscar Hair Growth: John Travolta Ridiculous. Here’s what John Travolta’s hair looked like a month ago. Don’t tell me this is all natural. My hair doesn’t even grow that fast. And I’m practically the world champion of hair growth. This is almost two inches. Please. Unless plugs grow faster? Like they’ By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 08:34 am
Bad Style Worst Oscar Bow: Reese Witherspoon At first when I saw this dress on Reese, I was more than willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. In fact, my notes say “This is more interesting than I expected it to be”. That’s because, when I first saw it on the carpet, there was By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 08:17 am
Oscars 2013 Oscars Most Improved: Halle Berry It was, by far, not the best dress of the night, and certainly not my flavour, but, and it’s crazy to say this about Halle Berry, by her standards, it’s a great improvement. Remember what she wore to the Golden Globes? Click here for a refresher. In comparison By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 08:05 am
Oscars 2013 Best Oscar Display of Humanity: Meryl Streep I was hardly the only one to see it, but I am delighted that we now have the potential to recapture it. This is fantastic. The best actress in the world picks her wedgie (I would also have accepted “adjusts her fullback underwear”), and not only smiles with grace about By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 07:49 am
