BFFs Worst fulfillment of Oscar suspicions: Michelle Williams When I ranted about her on Friday, I felt good. And I got a surprising number of dirty-little-secret emails from you all saying that you quietly thought the same thing. That she was too cute, not straightforward enough, or that the shtick of awards season (and those past) had worn By Duana • Feb 27, 2012 01:06 pm
Style Meryl in gold for gold They showed a clip of Meryl Streep being presented her last Oscar before last night by Sylvester Stallone and she was in a gold dress that wasn’t dissimilar to what she wore this time around, as if she’d been advised by my ma the Chinese Squawking Chicken about By Lainey • Feb 27, 2012 12:56 pm
Smutty Surgery Worst Oscar Disappointment: Sandy Bullock Lainey thinks I'm contrary. I am not. (Lainey: she totally is.) But sometimes if there's an overwhelming opinion that comes at me before I've had a chance to make up my own mind, I will work hard to find validation in the other direction.

Bad Style C’est la vie de George Clooney C’est la vie is what Stacy Keibler tweeted last night after George Clooney lost Best Actor to Jean Dujardin. If you use Twitter, um, can you please click here and read some of the comments. Someone actually accused her of being George’s “bad luck”. That’s really, really By Lainey • Feb 27, 2012 12:31 pm
Style Judy Greer as Oscar Judy Greer I mean, this is a hot, hot dress I guarantee you there were people there who were like "why didn't I get that dress? Is Monique Lhuillier mad at me?" Or maybe it was originally on someone of a higher...recognizability, and then it changed hands? By Duana • Feb 27, 2012 11:55 am
Girly Throw Downs January Jones isn’t boring on Oscar night As you know, I don’t care about who fathered January Jones’s baby. I should. But she is beige. You throw some girl sh-t onto her however, and, well, girl sh-t never sucks. January showed up to Vanity Fair last night. Jason Sudeikis, who was, at one time, rumoured By Lainey • Feb 27, 2012 11:47 am
Style Post-Oscar Pink: Claire Danes I've been realizing that maybe I haven't given Claire enough credit for never boring me, fashion wise. In the last few years she's consistently turned up in things that are interesting, often shiny in unpredictable ways, or in colours a lot of people stay By Duana • Feb 27, 2012 11:22 am
Style How to do an after party by Diane Kruger This dress almost takes my breath away. This is how you do an after party. This is not an appropriate dress for the ceremony, because dear me, let us never reveal that we have sternum - but wow, is it ever stunning and appropriate for an event where your only By Duana • Feb 27, 2012 11:17 am
Bad Style I hate lavender/violet by Penelope Cruz She was very, VERY close to being named Worst Dressed. But Duana is taking that on with a rather controversial choice. You’ll see it later. I do loath EVERYTHING about Penelope Cruz’s Armani last night though. Mr Armani is missing more than he hits these days. Let’s By Lainey • Feb 27, 2012 11:11 am
Style Best Oscar Satisfaction: Octavia Spencer Obviously nobody wants to use a cliche any more than they want to be a cliche, right? It's not flattering or bragworthy to say that what you do or have been doing can be summed up in a cliche or its sister, the catchphrase. But Octavia Spencer did By Duana • Feb 27, 2012 11:04 am
Quiveration Worst Organic: Colin & Livia Firth It’s so great that she’s all about green style but there has to be a vegan dress that’s an improvement on this one, non? I really do love Livia Firth. But this is an abomination; there’s no other way to say it. Happily though, her dress By Lainey • Feb 27, 2012 10:47 am
Dumbass Jonah Hill: Worst Oscar Expectations We talk soooo much about wanting the Oscar, or not wanting it. Campaigning, or not. This seems to be one step away from "being prepared if you win" or not. When Christopher Plummer took the stage last night, I felt relaxed almost instantly. He had us. He wasn& By Duana • Feb 27, 2012 10:17 am
BFFs Nearest Oscar Misses: Wiig & Rudolph Is it going to be obvious that I haven't slept if I say "Wiig & Rudolph" sounds like an animated show I'd like to see? These guys just make me feel so comfortable. Everyone else at the Oscars is arguably a crazy Hollywood person. By Duana • Feb 27, 2012 10:04 am
Girly Throw Downs Aloof & Sister at the Oscars Let me start with the dress...which I quite liked. It’s Givenchy. The back is awesome. And so well suited to her aesthetic. I just think she couldn’t hold it up, you know? Like carry it properly. Her body has a small part to do with that, sure, By Lainey • Feb 27, 2012 09:44 am
Bad Style Viola Davis: Best Oscar Hair but... And they say there are no surprises... This year, the BAFTAs knew better than the SAGs. It’s not that Meryl was a long shot. Of course not. As you know, leading up to yesterday, it was a RACE, a legitimate race. But Viola had built up so much momentum By Lainey • Feb 27, 2012 09:24 am
Bad Style Worst Oscar Hair: Berenice Bejo It’s not that I hate this hairstyle in general, it’s just that I think it’s a terrible fit with the dress. Wait. Maybe I do hate it in general. Too severe and harsh? It just...did nothing for her. No surprise that Berenice Bejo was in Elie By Lainey • Feb 27, 2012 09:12 am
