What Else What Else? Saniyya Sidney’s first Oscar dress was perfect. I don’t think she’ll look back on this with regret. The colours are so pretty on her, the fit is terrific, and she just looks so happy to be there. I hope she gets to go back someday soon. Also, By Lainey • Mar 28, 2022 03:30 pm
Oscars 2022 Liza and Gaga: A Sweet End to a Messy Night And that’s how we’ll wrap it up too – like the Oscars, after a mess of a night, the show concluded on love and joy: CODA won Best Picture and Liza Minnelli and Lady Gaga made the announcement. Maybe it’s because I saw the Liza and Gaga moment By Lainey • Mar 28, 2022 02:30 pm
Oscars 2022 The Men and Tiffany Haddish During the show, it was the Men and Regina Hall. For the purposes of this post, it’s the Men and Tiffany, but we’ll start with Timothée Chalamet because… HOW COULD WE NOT. Timmy was one of the men who Regina called up onstage, along with Bradley Cooper, Tyler By Lainey • Mar 28, 2022 01:52 pm
Oscars 2022 Just Let Venus and Serena Party I was happy to see photos of Venus and Serena Williams at the Vanity Fair Oscar party last night because, well, can we just let them party?! That’s all we’re talking about here in this post – and nothing else. Just good vibes and good fashion, the end. Serena By Lainey • Mar 28, 2022 01:03 pm
Oscars 2022 The highs and lows of Will Smith Obviously, this was not how anyone wanted the night to go. Will Smith has long been admired and beloved by his peers, goodwill you could feel every time he was nominated for and then won an award for his performance in King Richard. This was an “it’s his time” By Sarah • Mar 28, 2022 11:56 am
Oscars 2022 Jessica Chastain’s Best Actress Dress Jessica Chastain is finally an Oscar winner – and this is the dress for the occasion. As I always say, an Oscar look is a forever look. A nominee who probably won’t win actually has more opportunity to have some fun with their look than someone who’s expected to By Lainey • Mar 28, 2022 11:22 am
Oscars 2022 Zendaya, Olivia, Rachel: Oscar Sparkles There was a lot of sparkle at the Oscars, including Zendaya, my best dressed for the night in a crop-top button down and a high-waisted sparkle skirt by Valentino. It sort of reminds me of Sharon Stone’s Gap button down paired with a Vera Wang skirt at the 1996 By Sarah • Mar 28, 2022 10:58 am
Oscars 2022 Kristen, Cynthia, Niecy, and Wanda: Queer Love at the Oscars Look, I wish we lived in a time when it wasn’t particularly noteworthy to see queer couples on Hollywood’s biggest night. I get that dedicating a post to queer love at the Oscars could be interpreted as a form of othering. Because in an ideal world, it’d By Lainey • Mar 28, 2022 10:20 am
Oscars 2022 Tropical Fruit Oscar Colours Beyoncé started it, of course. Obviously there’s much more discourse on that elsewhere, and obviously it’s not like anyone knew that ‘tennis ball’ was going to be the colour of the night. But leave it to this, the absolute hands-down weirdest Oscars ever to be the riot of By Duana • Mar 28, 2022 09:56 am
Oscars 2022 Billie and Zoë: The Oscars could use more cuteness Duana texted me right after this happened – Zoë Kravitz and Jake Gyllenhaal presented Best Original Song to Billie Eilish and Finneas for “No Time To Die” and after their acceptance speech, this happened: BILLIE AND ZOË JUMPING UP AND DOWN IM CRYING THEYRE SO CUTE #Oscar pic.twitter.com/4NDmCOlgTn By Lainey • Mar 28, 2022 08:16 am
Oscars 2022 The power of anything but Netflix The anti-Netflix bias in the Academy is REAL. Sure, Netflix logs a lot of nominations, but the Academy is reluctant to hand them a Best Picture win. Apple, in fact, becomes the first streamer to win Best Picture with CODA, despite only being in the game for two years. Jane By Sarah • Mar 28, 2022 07:45 am
Oscars 2022 Sebastian and Kodi: Easter candy men Soothing pastels, sweet pastels. Rest your eyeballs on these images of Sebastián Yatra and Kodi Smit-McPhee dressed in tuxedoes so pale they are bold, donning spring pastels and looking like a couple of Easter M&Ms. Yatra turned up in a cotton candy pink morning suit from Moschino, and By Sarah • Mar 28, 2022 07:25 am
Oscars 2022 Ariana DeBose, Rita, and Anita Make History Do you ever wonder how Best Supporting Actress came to be the first award presented? I remember when I figured out that it was always a crowd-pleaser, because everyone in that category is largely there for having had a blast in a role that wasn’t about how pretty they By Duana • Mar 28, 2022 07:00 am
Oscars 2022 Troy, Yuh-jung, and CODA: Love and Kindness at the Oscars As Sarah just wrote in the previous post, there is a lot of work that has to be done in the days and months ahead to fix the Oscars – and this was the case even before last night after all the controversy about the eight categories that were cut from By Lainey • Mar 28, 2022 06:15 am
Oscars 2022 The Chaoscars When I dubbed the 2022 Oscars the “Chaoscars”, I didn’t mean it like this! And look, we’ll talk about the biggest story of the night in its own post, but for now, let’s start with everything else and how this was a truly terrible Oscars from start By Sarah • Mar 28, 2022 05:45 am
Oscars 2022 Intro for March 28, 2022 Dear Gossips, It is a truth universally acknowledged that when Beyoncé opens a show, no other point in the show will reach the heights that it did when Beyoncé was in command. That was always going to be the case with the Oscars this year; it’s just that…well… By Lainey • Mar 28, 2022 05:10 am
