Media Manipulation Best BAFTA 2012: Meryl Streep I think this Vivienne Westwood is glorious on her. Magestic. And it's great encouragement too. That a woman of Meryl's merit, maturity, and stature can wear the SH-T out of a designer garment that was originally sent down the runway on an 18 year old genetic By Lainey • Feb 13, 2012 06:57 pm
Media Manipulation All the handsome men... Other than Jean Dujardin. Brad Pitt and George Clooney both came without dates. The Jolie stayed back with the children in Berlin and George, perhaps sensing that Stacy’s not helping against Jean Dujardin, decided to go it alone. He’s better alone. When he’s alone, he can be By Lainey • Feb 13, 2012 06:55 pm
Assy Style BAFTA Worst: Penelope Cruz As you know already, I don’t like most red dresses. And especially on red carpets. That’s the first problem. And that’s not even the worst problem. Mr Armani’s chest plate is offensive to me. They way it cuts off her arms on the insides is offensive By Lainey • Feb 13, 2012 06:54 pm
Assy Style BAFTA Bonnie tried I think I might like all the pieces Bonnie Wright is wearing on their own, separate from each other. Out for dinner? To a cocktail party? Sure. On the red carpet at the most prestigious British award show? We may have under-aimed, you know? There’s only so far they By Lainey • Feb 13, 2012 06:53 pm
BAFTA 2012 Worst BAFTA Eyeroll - Shailene Woodley (I should check whether I’ve done ‘worst eyeroll’ before. I feel like it’s becoming a popular category). Let’s discuss Ms. Woodley for a second. She landed on that most…average of teen shows The Secret Life Of The American Teenager. Do not try to tell me that By Duana • Feb 13, 2012 06:52 pm
BAFTA 2012 BAFTA Limited: Michelle Williams So you’re Tilda Swinton and you have a certain...aesthetic. We can agree that Michelle Williams doesn’t share that aesthetic, right? Michelle Williams has a different range. She goes from Marchesa to Chanel to Valentino to this, H&M, a lovely if not terribly inspiring dress ... but By Lainey • Feb 13, 2012 06:50 pm
BAFTA 2012 Best BAFTA Mystery: Kristen Wiig Are you KIDDING me with this? Are you joking about what Kristen Wiig wore to the BAFTAs? Please investigate below… She looks like a fairy princess Vanna White. And I can’t just accept this; I need to find some sort of conspiracy theory in it, apparently. Why is she By Duana • Feb 13, 2012 06:43 pm
Style Best BAFTA Hair: Tilda Swinton A severe side part, height around the crown, and some body. I wish I could be so...brave. My excuse is that my hair doesn’t grow like that. I know this because I tried it. At 12. And again at 19. Which is when you have the balls for By Lainey • Feb 13, 2012 06:35 pm
BFFs Best Random Duo: Daniel Radcliffe & Octavia Spencer I cannot tell you how much these pictures make me laugh. This is what happens in Hollywood. You are Daniel Radcliffe, barely out of your teens, and you are there because Harry Potter, your stunningly successful magic franchise, is up for some final awards, none glamorous, and which will require By Duana • Feb 13, 2012 06:28 pm
BFFs Best Date to a British Awards Show: - Jon Hamm Do you think he’d be a good date? As soon as Lainey and I talked about the BAFTAs I got all panicky: “Where is she? Is she here?” And apparently, she wasn’t. She being Jennifer Westfeldt, who is absent as often as she’s with him. \I don’ By Duana • Feb 13, 2012 06:06 pm
BAFTA 2012 Viola in pink Viola Davis has been working a lot of colour this award season. There’s been an orange, a green, a white with gold accent, but she seems to prefer pink. Pink has been chosen several times, actually. Some brighter than others. So far, no major metallics. What will be for By Lainey • Feb 13, 2012 05:54 pm
Assy Style Worst BAFTA Wrapper: Christina Ricci This gold dress is the kind of thing that fits my mental description of the type of dress that should be called a ‘wrapper’. You know? “I threw on a wrapper and smoked a cigarillo.” Apparently the woman wearing my wrapper is a flapper . Anyway, it’s a whole lot By Duana • Feb 13, 2012 05:35 pm
BAFTA 2012 The BAFTAs 2012 We’re now inside two weeks out from the Oscars. And George Clooney, must be sweating. After taking the SAG, Jean Dujardin won the BAFTA last night. Now it’s a deadlock. Oscar voting closes on February 21. So there are still a few days...but is Harvey Weinstein running By Lainey • Feb 13, 2012 05:25 pm
