Oscars 2020 Natalie Portman’s Red Carpet Flex History would not claim me as a Natalie Portman fan – which is something I’ve often felt bad about, because I like the projects she does, but somewhere between her acting and her interviews, I’ve just decided she’s just not my particular cup of tea. However, it may By Duana • Feb 10, 2020 06:40 am
Oscars 2020 Olivia Colman: Oscars Best Blue Velvet Last year, Olivia Colman gave one of the best acceptance speeches of the night when she won the Best Actress Oscar for her performance in The Favourite.

Oscars 2020 James Corden & Rebel Wilson: Oscars Interlopers Okay, I’m gonna go ahead and say it – I might be a convert to the ‘no host’ method, because it allows more room for more stuff. The musical performances happened more spontaneously, for the most part, which actually made the show more like a musical… which is maybe why By Duana • Feb 10, 2020 05:38 am
Oscars 2020 Utkarsh Ambudkar: The Oscar Introduction Many people have been critical of the Oscars this year for the lack of inclusion in its major categories and trying to make up for it with its presenters criticising the Oscars for the lack of inclusion.

It’s green at the roots!” I’m not one of Billie By Duana • Feb 10, 2020 05:03 am
Oscars 2020 Cynthia Erivo: Best First Oscars It’s not that Cynthia Erivo hasn’t been to the Oscars before so, technically, it’s not her first Oscars. But it is her first Oscars as an Oscar nominee. Which is another level of special – to be invited to the show because you’ve been singled out for By Lainey • Feb 10, 2020 04:30 am
Oscars 2020 How To Oscar, with your guide Bong Joon-ho Parasite was an exceptional movie, by which I mean it was a literal outlier. I don’t know anyone who saw it who didn’t like it, including those grumps at the Honest Oscar Ballot – it was an actual feat in filmmaking. Which is why it won Best Picture, even By Duana • Feb 10, 2020 04:18 am
Oscars 2020 Intro for February 10, 2020 Dear Gossips, The Oscars, obviously, aren’t perfect. Far from perfect. And after what happened last night, it doesn’t make its shortcomings any less… short. But something special did happen. History happened. The first South Korean film to be nominated for Best Picture actually won Best Picture – after winning By Lainey • Feb 10, 2020 03:48 am
What Else What Else? I’ve never been attracted to John Mulaney… but I’m wondering if I should be attracted to him now? This is the best picture of him ever taken. And I’m about to ruin it for you because I feel like he sort of looks like Rivers Cuomo in By Lainey • Feb 07, 2020 04:00 pm
Name Nerd Duana Names: Friday Feeling The Updates You know, I’m considering just running updates, because frankly, the letters make us all feel so good. I mean, this is the beauty of what we do, the search for the perfect name becomes the person, who then becomes the embodiment of everything we love about the name… it’ By Duana • Feb 07, 2020 03:32 pm
Style Outfits of the Week: Ella and Lulu For the second week in a row, there are two outfits of the week that share a similar style vibe and I can’t choose between them.

TV Updates Jerry’s Gonna Mat-Talk You Professionally Certain people around these parts have not finished watching Cheer, and I have chastised said people, who are named Lainey, about it for several weeks now. (Lainey: I have 20 mins left! It’s just that I got caught up in some BTS hysteria.) Luckily, she’s not a baby By Duana • Feb 07, 2020 02:41 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Margot Robbie in Birds of Prey Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is juggling a lot. It’s a sequel/spin-off hybrid of Suicide Squad, a movie it does not drop-kick out an open window but one it does have to push off stage and make the audience forget. By Sarah • Feb 07, 2020 02:20 pm
Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, February 7, 2020 Page Six has a follow-up on Pamela Anderson’s latest split (I’m not calling it a divorce because it’s unclear if they were legally married).
