TV Updates Madonna joins The Studio Though The Studio mopped up pretty much every major award for a comedy series during the 2025-26 awards season, I don’t think this show is actually THAT popular. Like it’s not Ted Lasso, an Apple TV+ series we can say with confidence “everyone” watched. Ted Lasso had a By Sarah • Mar 17, 2026 10:03 am
Oscars 2026 Intro for March 17, 2026 Dear Gossips, Now that the Oscars are over, it’s time to autopsy the Oscars. In Variety, Daniel D’Addario asks, Why were the movie stars in hiding? While the headline irritated me, D’Addario is actually onto something, particularly in the capital-letter Movie Star department. There was a time, By Sarah • Mar 17, 2026 09:08 am
Oscars 2026 Li Jun Li: Best in Red I can’t get enough of how Li Jun Li moves. If you’ve seen Sinners as many times as I have, you should have That Scene memorised by now – as Miles Caton’s Sammie performs “I Lied To You” at the juke joint, and everyone’s molecules become possessed By Lainey • Mar 16, 2026 03:13 pm
Oscars 2026 Sarah’s Best Dressed – It’s Actually a Tie From very early in the evening, I was calling Rose Byrne my best dressed in a floral trumpet gown, but then I saw Anne Hathaway, also in a floral trumpet gown, so it’s actually a tie.

Oscars 2026 Teyana Taylor: Best Dressed (Duana) Let’s get something straight right off the top – Teyana Taylor has had an incredible style run in the One Battle After Another awards season, but she’s not yet a staple on the carpet year after year. This is a good thing. Because let us be honest, both the By Duana • Mar 16, 2026 02:30 pm
Oscars 2026 The boys are back in town Boys will always insist on being present, and it was no different at the Oscars. I regret to inform you that there were many boys at the Oscars last night. Some of them were even dressed well. Credit must be given where it is due: sometimes boys look good. For By Sarah • Mar 16, 2026 01:56 pm
Oscars 2026 Oscars Razzle And/Or Dazzle Another awards show in the books, and once again, what’s memorable, after a season of looks topping one another week after week, is something unusual. Not always a colour, but often enough, it’s a sheen or sparkle that makes a dress that much more indelible. I also think By Duana • Mar 16, 2026 12:36 pm
Oscars 2026 The Oscar of Feathers There were a few fashion and beauty trends happening on the Oscars red carpet last night. A lot of buns. Monochrome looks with a bold lip. And also feathers.

Oscars 2026 Hudson Williams and His Inscrutability Make the Rounds Here’s a question: View this post on Instagram A post shared by VIVIANO (@vivianostudio) What do you think goes on in his head? In the infinitely small amount of time that Hudson Williams has been incredibly famous and constantly, daily, hourly photographed, he never once has looked surprised.

Oscars 2026 Zendaya: More Luxury, More Prestige Here in LA, rumours started circulating that Zendaya would be appearing at the Oscars just before the weekend, even though she was not on the Academy’s confirmed list of presenters.

Oscars 2026 One Woman’s Battle Won, On Its Own One Battle After Another took almost every Oscar it was predicted to and some of the ones it didn’t. Which is annoying, but if you think of the wins separately from where you wish they went, they’re harder to argue with. Paul Thomas Anderson is objectively talented and By Duana • Mar 16, 2026 09:14 am
Oscars 2026 Jessie Buckley and Chloé Zhao had VERY different Oscar dresses Unsurprisingly, Jessie Buckley won Best Actress for her performance in Hamnet. A lot of people were annoyed with her after her anti-cat comments, but her acceptance speech was lovely, including a shoutout to mothers, as it was Mother’s Day in the UK (which she is not from, being Irish) By Sarah • Mar 16, 2026 08:38 am
