Oscars 2014 A little bit of boy sh*t Look at the picture below. If it looks familiar, it’s because it was used yesterday in the open. There’s Steve McQueen jumping in joy at the front. Now look all the way to the back... yeah. See that guy back there, giving kind of a laconic peace sign? By Duana • Mar 04, 2014 11:37 am
Pitt Porn Pitt Porn on Oscar weekend It’s been a drought for over a year. So this weekend they made up for it. I don’t want to follow the chronological timeline for the Spirit Awards and then the Oscars. Let’s start with what happened on Sunday when they arrived on the carpet. As always, By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 05:59 pm
Assy Style Charlize Theron: Oscars Worst Dressed (Lainey) Before you start yelling, please click here to remember. Remember what Charlize Theron wore to the Oscars last year when she was named Best Dressed on this blog. I want you to remember this for comparison. Because when we consider the Worst Dressed at the Oscars, it’s always about By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 04:54 pm
Oscars 2014 Anna Kendrick: Oscars Worst Dressed (Duana) This is gonna hurt me more than it hurts you. Because I love Anna Kendrick, and she is already awesome and poised on the tip of so much more: Pitch Perfect 2. Boom. Into The Woods. Boom. The Last Five Years – it’s going to be huge. There is every By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 04:31 pm
Oscars 2014 Cate Blanchett: Oscars Most Invigorating Acceptance I know that’s saying a lot, especially given Lupita Nyong’o’s acceptance and how oft-repeated that phrase is going to be. But the speech was fresh and original from the second sentence: “You’re too old to be standing” and proceeds from there. She says the honour is By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 04:24 pm
Style Lupita Nyong’o: Oscars Best Dressed (Lainey) Like I said at the top of the blog today – no dress punched me in the face with the real and true “best” at this year’s Oscars. Everything felt so … safe. So… subdued. Maybe it was the weather. Maybe it was a general lack of imagination. I mean, Amy By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 04:04 pm
Oscars 2014 Sally Hawkins: Oscars Best Dressed (Duana) Here we go. Is this the one that’s gonna be a fight? This was my favourite dress of all of them last night. It felt new and different and fresh. It felt like it was trying something. It’s a really neat and forward-looking dress, and if it’s By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 03:47 pm
Style Michael B Jordan: Oscars Best Man (Lainey) During out etalk Ultimate Oscars Guide, I posited that Michael B Jordan should have been nominated for Best Actor for his work in Fruitvale. You remember that scene when Oscar’s in the grocery store and he pretty much assaults his ex-manager to get his job back? Right after charming By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 03:37 pm
Oscars 2014 Elizabeth Banks: Confounding Almost Oscar Last year around this time, after we’d chosen our best and worst dressed and were typing away, we found Elizabeth Banks at the Vanity Fair party. And she looked like this. I wished she could have been my best dressed but she didn’t attend the ceremony. Well, the By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 03:31 pm
Oscars 2014 Jared Leto: Oscars Best Man (Duana) So here we are. Jared Leto won, and he is my Best Man. My 15-year-old self is looking at me askance. See, I was as big a fan of My So-Called Life as anyone, but Jordan Catalano did not make me squee. He scared me. He seemed angry and sad. By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 03:09 pm
Oscars 2014 Matthew McConaughey & Camila Alves: Best Oscar Kiss Now that he’s actually a proper Oscar winner – what’s up Sarah Nostradamus! – you think people could properly pronounce Matthew McConaughey’s name? It’s not Mick-con-ah-KAY. It’s not Mick-con-ah-HEE. It’s Mick-con-ah-HAY. Anyway, that was a good kiss when his name was called. I believed that kiss. By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 02:59 pm
Oscars 2014 Anne Hathaway: Worst Oscar Presenter? I put a question mark at the end here because, well, as an Anne Hathaway apologist, it's kind of become a habit, a habit to keep asking -- if she did it differently would she still find a way to annoy you? But what a difference in a By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 02:12 pm
Oscars 2014 Sandra Bullock: Most Confusing Oscar Outfit Let’s review the facts about Sandra Bullock. She’s absolute box office gold. She’s kind of fun and funny and, even more than my beloved Julia, she’s one of the boys about the whole "we’re chill about the fact that we’re super rich making By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 01:59 pm
Oscars 2014 Channing Tatum: Oscar regular? Is this, like, three years in a row now that Channing Tatum has presented at the Oscars? I remember him being paired with Jennifer Aniston. Then last year he danced with Charlize Theron. This time he graduated to a solo appearance. But you already know that Tatum is a power By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 01:45 pm
Oscars 2014 Julia Roberts: Oscar Memory Loss It’s time. There was no "Who’s Natalie", but my woman still delivered some serious love, and it’s time to address it. Get comfy. First of all, the dress was not my thing. Bored now. I get that Julia slides herself firmly into the "classics& By Duana • Mar 03, 2014 01:31 pm
Oscars 2014 Bradley Cooper: Two Oscar Dates The actors always get the prime positions. And placing the actors is always a good game of hierarchy. Meryl Streep and Leonardo DiCaprio were nominated for leading performances so it made sense to have them in the front row. Julia Roberts had to sit in the second row because, presumably, By Lainey • Mar 03, 2014 01:14 pm
