Oscars 2013 Intro for February 26, 2013 Dear Gossips, Thanks for all your emails and tweets yesterday in response to the Oscar wrap-up. Duana and I finally crashed last night around 11pm after dinner with friends at Cooks County where we saw Mark Ruffalo which reminded us... We didn’t write about Mark Ruffalo! So we’re By Lainey • Feb 26, 2013 11:17 am
Oscars 2013 Oscars Most Swaggiful Partying: Amy Poehler & Rashida Jones You don’t often get to see a lot of the non-nominated. You see a lot of the sound-editing types, who are nervous but self-aware enough to know that nobody cares, and you get the occasional shot of Jack Nicholson, but as discussed elsewhere on this blog today, Jack Nicholson By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 05:44 pm
Oscars 2013 Oscars Most Overall Lame: Anne Hathaway I share with Lainey the trait of being an Anne Hathaway apologist. So each individual thing about her last night was, you know, not the best, but not horrible. Not terrible, at least at first. The dress. She will regret this sooner than later, but for a long time. Because By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 05:38 pm
As IF Oscar As IF: Chris Evans Chris Evans took his ma to the Oscars. To remind himself that it’s a big deal: "She's so excited. It's nice to remember how exciting and fun this stuff can be. Being with her brings all that back." (Source) I’m sorry? So By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 05:10 pm
Style Oscars Best Dressed Tie: Naomi & Charlize There was a tie at the Oscars last night, so why not a tie here, for Best Dressed? Both were great, but we each liked one more than the other. So instead of fighting about it, and inspired by the awards show, we decided to share. Duana’s Best Dressed By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 04:57 pm
Assy Style Oscars Worst Dressed: Amy Adams Did you love this? The only person I saw who loved this was the Oscar PR girl on Twitter, and um, she has a vested interest. Not only has this dress been DONE – on Penelope Cruz, on J. Lo, on Tina Fey -- but in this washed out colour, I’ By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 04:45 pm
Oscars 2013 Britney’s Oscar brown About a month ago I wrote a post called “Forecasting Britney”: signs to look for, now that she’s single again, that… you know. An astute reader wrote in immediately after positing that: All that, plus if she goes brown, we are in trouble. Well… Here’s Britney at the By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 04:35 pm
Oscars 2013 Best Oscar Night: Jessica Chastain Jessica Chastain, I’ve decided, had the best Oscar night of anyone. Think about it. She wears the best dress she’s worn in two or three years, a delicate light copper with her medium copper hair and she looked spectacular. And she KNEW it, because she showed up on By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 04:29 pm
Girlcrushes Jennifer Lawrence: the most popular girl at the Oscars Was it the best performance of the five? Probably not, right? I have personal attachment to Emmanuelle Riva because, well, Amour is my personal nightmare. My parents are Amour. Many of you thought it was Chastain’s Maya in Zero Dark Thirty. Still others identified with Naomi’s courageous mother By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 04:20 pm
Oscars 2013 Most All-Around Awesome…Again: Adele at the Oscars I’ve been writing about Adele for weeks. You bored ? No, not like “U Mad?” Try it again, in an Adele accent. “Y’booohd??” and make sure you put three separate notes in it. Now, see? You can’t not laugh. You can’t not smile. She’s the absolute By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 03:37 pm
Oscars 2013 Best Oscar Misanthropy: Larry David Just – look at this. Watch it all the way through. Don’t make the mistake I did, which is laugh so hard that you close your eyes to keep the tears from escaping, because you will miss the good stuff. Some of which is cute, a la Amy Poehler and By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 03:29 pm
Oscars 2013 Jennifer Garner wins Best Picture at the Oscars She was the silent producer. If they allowed four people up there, she should have been included. And we all know how much work she did. Because while she may not have been responsible for the filmmaking, Oscar is often more about how the film is presented, and less about By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 03:18 pm
Dumbass Worst Human Impression As Host: Seth MacFarlane The thing with Seth MacFarlane is that the man creates all kinds of characters. I feel like you watch one of his episodes of his shows and you’ve seen them all, but let’s say for the sake of argument that they’re varied, at least a little bit By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 03:01 pm
Oscars 2013 Jack & George at the Oscars This might be my favourite photo of all the photos taken last night. Look at him. Look at Jack Nicholson. When did he become your cuddly Uncle Oscar? And will this be George Clooney in 25 years? Remember, Jack was George and Leo and more when it was safer to By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 02:53 pm
Oscars 2013 Most Oscar Alumni-esque: Sandra Bullock I felt really strange about Sandra at the Oscars. I don’t know why exactly – I mean, part of me wishes she hadn’t worn a dress that showed side-bum skin, even faux side-bum that’s actually nude-coloured underlay. Her hair and stuff seemed kind of straightforward Sandra Bullock, so By Duana • Feb 25, 2013 02:44 pm
Oscars 2013 Oscars Best Speech: Daniel Day-Lewis They were essentially saying the same thing, Daniel Day-Lewis and Ben Affleck, right? They were appreciating their supportive wives. Ben chose to phrase it so that it was his wife’s primary responsibility to “work” on their marriage. DDL acknowledged that his wife had to deal with his artistic eccentricities, By Lainey • Feb 25, 2013 02:36 pm
