Charlize Theron Worst Dressed: Charlize Theron How surprised were you? Usually impeccable, always a winner, Charlize showed up without Stuart and clearly missing her mojo. I can’t even begin to tell you how wrong this thing is. And the attack of the bow is the least of our concerns. Her dress was sinister, it was By Lainey • Mar 05, 2006 07:00 am
Last Word BC residents – don’t forget to check me out on Studio 4 with Fanny Kiefer Monday morning at 9am. And you can all tune in to the radio throughout the day to catch me dishing on everything Oscar. Fresh smut tomorrow night with insider info from the parties. Til then, By Lainey • Mar 05, 2006 07:00 am
Jake Gyllenhaal Most Endearing: Jake Gyllenhaal The most winning smile, even if it didn’t taste victory tonight. The bluest of eyes, the sweetest of expressions when his award was announced, the brief but distinguishable wave of disappointment when George was called – Jake wanted it bad. And bless him for it. I wanted to jump into By Lainey • Mar 05, 2006 07:00 am
Lake Bell Most Matronly: Reese Witherspoon Sorry Reese fans but I was decidedly underwhelmed by her sparkly dress. Not that it was offensive or anything and I do admire Reese for being a mother and an actor and unscandalous one at that, but I’m so tired of the Mama Belle/overgrown debutante routine. We get By Lainey • Mar 05, 2006 07:00 am
Jennifer Aniston Most Ungrateful: Jennifer Aniston Dear Jennifer, So the nice folks at the Academy throw you a bone and invite you to come to the big show, just to give you a taste of something you’ll never have. It is an honour for a piddling actress like you and I hoped that you would By Lainey • Mar 05, 2006 07:00 am
Nicole Kidman Best Posture: Nicole Kidman Not a bad comeback for a woman who has looked like frozen ass for the better part of a year. Then again, Nicole doesn’t usually disappoint when it matters. And while I’ve made no secret of my disdain for her Botox binges, I have always given her credit By Lainey • Mar 05, 2006 07:00 am
Worst Male: Keanu Reeves Once upon a time, Keanu Reeves sat atop my Freebie 5 list – the king of my fantasy mountain, despite the fact that he can’t act worth sh*t. He earned that spot with a little movie called Speed. Pure molten loin quivering hotness. And in that last scene, when By Lainey • Mar 05, 2006 07:00 am
Uma Thurman Most Indifferent: Uma Thurman I almost – just almost – preferred the Swedish milkmaid ensemble from a couple of years ago to this bland, boring, and very un-Uma number she decided to throw on tonight. I looked at her and I couldn’t give a sh*t…which almost never happens when I look at Uma By Lainey • Mar 05, 2006 07:00 am
Jennifer Lopez Best Colour: Jennifer Lopez Perhaps a little overbronzed but can you deny that La Lopez was magnificent in olive? On a carpet full of bone, her booty was refreshing and delicious. I liked the way this gown flowed across the stage when she was presenting and I was even more amused to see that By Lainey • Mar 05, 2006 07:00 am
Best Black: Felicity Huffman She looked terrific, non? So sweet and so grateful, sexy and elegant too. I’m a bit concerned about those alarming bones between her breasts, and I do think she’s dropped a bit too much weight in the last year, but tonight I found her impressive. And if it By Lainey • Mar 05, 2006 07:00 am
Most Disappointing: Naomi Watts There’s this dude from Australia who has written me on occasion, some 50 year old Naomi Watts super-fan, and I think he runs a fan club, with a catalogue of her fashion past, with indepth knowledge (I’m talking IN DEPTH) of every dress she’s ever worn, all By Lainey • Mar 05, 2006 07:00 am
Best Sunshine: Dolly Parton Couture is not for everyone. And it takes a true gem to have the self awareness to recognise when you’re more honky tonk than classy glam. Even better when she celebrates it full tilt. I love this about Dolly Parton. I loved it when she went on Ellen last By Lainey • Mar 05, 2006 07:00 am
Michelle Rodriguez Best Young Actress: Michelle Williams I love this colour. I love how she wore it. I love how her sleeves fanned out when they caught a light breeze. I love how in love they are. Once a year I like to be naïve. I want to believe that he adores her. I want to believe By Lainey • Mar 05, 2006 07:00 am
Keira Knightley Worst Young Actress: Keira Knightley Beyond the jaw and the hideous eyebrows and the seizure-inducing pout, you want to know why I’m not a fan? It’s the fact that she doesn’t GLOW. For all the attention heaped on this 20 year old, you would think she could live up to it by By Lainey • Mar 05, 2006 07:00 am
Nicky Hilton Shameless Self Promotion Forgive me but it"s a big weekend and Oscar is keeping everyone busy. Monday is media day! Heads up to everyone in British Columbia, Canada - I"ve been invited back to appear on Studio 4 with Fanny Kiefer in the morning at 9am dishing on everything By Lainey • Mar 02, 2006 07:00 am
Last Word My best wishes and congratulations to Jen & Ray on their engagement! Jen - we"ll have to celebrate at casino soon…promise? Alright gossips - Don’t forget to fill out your contest ballots by Saturday night! Enjoy the Oscars! Full wrap up on Sunday night. Til then, By Lainey • Mar 02, 2006 07:00 am
