Award Season Campaigning All but Judi Judi Dench was the only Best Actress nominee who did not attend the Nominees Luncheon yesterday. I love that about her.

BFFs Julia Roberts wins Best Picture Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep were pretty tight last night at the Critics’ Choice Awards. They were on the carpet together, they sat together, they hugged several times, and for the most part, on those occasions, Julia held down The Julia, because even Julia knows that Julia < Meryl Streep.

Movie Reviews and Previews But why must it ALWAYS be girl sh*t? As Lainey says, girl sh*t is the best sh*t. It makes for great gossip. When it’s organic girl sh*t, occurring in the wild, I enjoy it as much as the next person. When I don’t enjoy it is when it’s manufactured bullsh*t meant By Sarah • Sep 27, 2013 02:48 pm

Oscars 2013 Best Oscar Display of Humanity: Meryl Streep I was hardly the only one to see it, but I am delighted that we now have the potential to recapture it. This is fantastic. The best actress in the world picks her wedgie (I would also have accepted “adjusts her fullback underwear”), and not only smiles with grace about By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 07:49 am

Quiveration Worst Organic: Colin & Livia Firth It’s so great that she’s all about green style but there has to be a vegan dress that’s an improvement on this one, non? I really do love Livia Firth. But this is an abomination; there’s no other way to say it. Happily though, her dress By Lainey • Feb 27, 2012 10:47 am
