Oscars 2019 Amandla Stenberg: Oscar Best Dressed (Kathleen) The Oscars took my advice on one of my past pet peeves of the show. There weren’t endless montages featuring movies that the show didn’t recognize. It’s annoying when the Academy snubs great films for ones like Green Book but then will cycle through the good ones By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 02:52 pm
Oscars 2019 Jason Momoa & Lisa Bonet: Oscar Best Dressed (Lainey) Probably they could have worn anything and been Best Dressed, right? I just don’t see how it’s possible for Lisa Bonet to show up at the Oscars and not claim one of the Best Dressed spots. This woman’s fashion influence on what we’ve been wearing for By Lainey • Feb 25, 2019 02:44 pm
Oscars 2019 Chadwick Boseman Knows What Oscar Wants Everyone on social media is using the same picture of Chadwick Boseman on the red carpet, in front of that weird corridor-photo wall they had this year. It’s this one: Partly, it’s because you can clearly see his floor-length caftan jacket of awesome, it was tough going to By Duana • Feb 25, 2019 01:56 pm
Oscars 2019 What’s In JLo’s Oscar Mirror? Let’s get one thing very, very clear here. Jennifer Lopez looked stunnnning last night. It’s not just that she’s beautiful, which she is – but that dress is a treat for the eyes. I never, ever got tired of looking at it, from every multi-faceted angle, which of By Duana • Feb 25, 2019 01:44 pm
Oscars 2019 The MBJ Love Triangle Shockingly, no one in this triangle with Michael Bae Jordan is me but only because it’s not a real love triangle. You know how people seem to think that Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper are f-cking? Their chemistry seems as contrived as two theatre kids who learned what falling By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 01:21 pm
Oscars 2019 Emma’s Oscar date Emma Stone and Dave McCary have been pretty undercover since they started dating. At least they were. This award season though we’ve seen them step out together much more – front row at a basketball game and he joined her at the SAG Awards. That hasn’t been Emma’s By Lainey • Feb 25, 2019 01:01 pm
Gorgessity Constance Wu’s marigold & Henry Golding’s cheese Crazy Rich Asians only came out six months ago and since then it seems that CRA has been represented on every major carpet, capping off their run at the Oscars last night. We’ve already talked about Michelle Yeoh and Gemma Chan, and Constance Wu, with Jon M Chu, and By Lainey • Feb 25, 2019 12:52 pm
Oscars 2019 Chris Evans exists Regina King won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar – her first— for her role in If Beale Street Could Talk. Somehow, Chris Evans is now in almost every story about Regina King’s win because the man sat beside her mom and… looked in her direction a few times? Because he By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 11:25 am
Oscars 2019 King Regina There were a lot of “Queens” in attendance last night. Queen, the band. Queen Latifah. Olivia Coleman and Helen Mirren in spirit. The Queen of Wakanda, Angela Bassett. Billy Porter if we’re still saying “yasss Queen!” And then there was Regina King. Lainey schooled me that “Regina” means “Queen” By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 10:27 am
Oscars 2019 Melissa McCarthy Won’t Let Me I wanted to be annoyed. Melissa McCarthy was the long-shot nominee for a fantastic performance in Can You Ever Forgive Me, and even though I knew, and you knew, and she knew, that it was never going to happen, I wanted more people to treat it like it was a By Duana • Feb 25, 2019 10:15 am
Oscars 2019 Rachel & Daniel together but not together at the Oscars Rachel Weisz was at the Oscars as a nominee last night for Best Supporting Actress for The Favourite and Daniel Craig was there as a presenter and they’re married so… you’d think they’d come together, right? They walked the carpet together not too long ago at the By Lainey • Feb 25, 2019 09:57 am
Oscars 2019 Stephan James’ Awards Season Hustle In October, I wrote “if you don’t already know Stephan James, you will soon.” He was weeks away from the release of Homecoming and If Beale Street Could Talk, his two breakout roles of 2018. A whole awards season later and Stephan James is definitely a name you know. By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 09:45 am
Oscars 2019 Rami Malek’s Epic One-Night Story God, that kiss was hot. We’ll get to the kiss, I promise. On Show Your Work, and here, I’ve wished nominees would prepare their speeches, have something to say if they get up there and win – not everyone can be flummoxed as adorably as Olivia Colman. But they By Duana • Feb 25, 2019 09:28 am
Award Season Campaigning Glenn Close still goes to the party Here’s my theory about Oscar dresses: if you’re a favourite to win, your Oscar fashion is going to be on the safe side. Because the pictures you take that night, in that outfit, are forever. They’ll be used for a long time. And you don’t want By Lainey • Feb 25, 2019 08:30 am
Top Reads We Don’t Deserve Best Actress Olivia Colman I really don’t understand Twitter sometimes. I know a statement like that makes me sound too young, naïve, sheltered and privileged to be allowed chocolate milk, let alone unaccompanied access to one of the internet’s most reliable joke factories that sometimes doubles as a dumpster fire. But look, By Duana • Feb 25, 2019 06:51 am
Oscars 2019 The Black Panther Wins: A long time coming “This has been a long time coming.” Ruth E Carter started her first Oscars acceptance speech with these seven words, and to me, they sum up all of Black Panther’s historic wins. It’s been a long time coming for black women behind-the-scenes in Hollywood to get their recognition. By Kathleen • Feb 25, 2019 06:39 am
