Oscars 2017 Leo, the Oscar-winning presenter Leonardo DiCaprio returned to the Oscars a year after The Struggle to present Best Actress in his role as immediate-previous Best Actor. As you know, once you win an Oscar, the title is forever attached to your name. We recently interviewed Anna Paquin on The Social and when we introduced By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 03:14 pm
Oscars 2017 Viola Davis: Most Anticipated Oscar I didn’t think the show last night felt long. Don’t get me wrong, it was—but because of last night’s tight races and unpredictability, the time seemed to go by quickly, unlike other years where it’s just an eventuality for a win. That made Viola Davis By Duana • Feb 27, 2017 02:40 pm
Oscars 2017 Michelle & Busy: Oscar Social Lubricant Like it was with Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Michelle Williams and Busy Phillips were underneath our etalk balcony position for a good amount of time last night ...fascinating. Danielle Graham and I could not get enough of the dynamic. Our balcony is right above the final photo wall before By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 02:26 pm
Oscars 2017 Oscar Meryl 20 There were a number of people at the show last night (and one who wasn’t at the show. So much power to you, Natalie Portman), who knew they had absolutely no chance of winning. None. Sometimes Oscar races are legitimate-ish races, and there’s more and less likely contenders, By Duana • Feb 27, 2017 02:00 pm
Oscars 2017 Jennifer Aniston: A Quiet Victory Lap Let’s face it, unless she walks the red carpet with Brad Pitt (or Angelina Jolie), any Jennifer Aniston Oscar appearance is going to seem kind of quiet compared to the year the triangle came face-to-face. But I never count Jen out. First, the look. She’s always good to By Maria • Feb 27, 2017 01:42 pm
Oscars 2017 Halle's one look Most people seem to have a problem with Halle Berry's hair. I like her hair. I like big hair. Red carpet hair is so often so boring, so the same. And there's rarely any volume. So Halle's hair, to me, is way better than By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 01:15 pm
Top Reads Ryan Gosling – Most Oscar Obfuscating It’s hard to remember now, but back in the day, before Hey Girl and then the intense desire to not be Hey Girl, Ryan Gosling kind of sometimes had a sense of humour. An offbeat one for sure, and it didn’t always come out to play, but it By Duana • Feb 27, 2017 12:42 pm
Oscars 2017 Brie Larson's Casey face Casey Affleck Best Actor over Denzel Washington. Or do you prefer Jezebel's headline "F-cking Creep Wins Oscar"? For the last 13 years, the actor who wins the SAG goes on to win the Oscar. Denzel took the SAG. And Casey broke the trend, killed the streak. By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 12:26 pm
Oscars 2017 John Legend…but, really, Chrissy Teigen Even though John Legend has been promoting La La Land all season, stories have usually wound up being about Chrissy Teigen. I am far from innocent in this regard – she just makes it so easy. Chrissy Teigen is almost compulsively interesting. But today it was really supposed to be about By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 12:07 pm
Oscars 2017 Nicole & Keith at the Oscars I spent a decent amount of time watching Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban at the Oscars, how they interact, how they connect to each other. They’re friendly on the red carpet. They talk to people. They’re not there to just keep themselves like some of the others – ahem, By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 11:36 am
Oscars 2017 Taraji P Henson & Octavia Spencer: Oscar BFFs Good sweet LORD, Taraji P. Henson, you looked like something else last night. The dress and the hair and the sleepy-smoky eye makeup. Obviously she’s fantastic looking and has had other great looks this awards season, but this one, even though it wasn’t the most revealing or creative By Duana • Feb 27, 2017 11:11 am
Oscars 2017 Mahershala Ali’s Oscar first Every year, I watch the Oscars with my friend Liz. Every year, she makes fun of me for getting too emotional. This year, she decided to keep a running tally of how many times I cried. The first tears shed were for Mahershala Ali. I actually let out a dramatic By Kathleen • Feb 27, 2017 10:26 am
Oscars 2017 Lin-Manuel Miranda’s first Oscars Hi you! I don’t have to tell you this, but you’re getting pretty popular. People who didn’t know you last year call you ‘Lin’ now. I’m pretty sure your mom charmed everyone so much she’s about to get movie offers. Even your dog is famous: By Duana • Feb 27, 2017 10:12 am
Oscars 2017 Dev Patel: Oscar cutest Sorry about the not-very-creative title but there really is no way to say it. Dev Patel was the cutest last night. No, Lainey, Sunny Pawar was the cutest. Sunny was cute but one-dimensionally, like cute little kid cute. Dev, on the other hand, had cute multitudes. He’s super cute By Lainey • Feb 27, 2017 09:37 am
Oscars 2017 Ava Duvernay: Best Oscar speech we didn’t get Ava Duvernay did not win her first Oscar last night. Her documentary 13th lost to Ezra Edelman’s 6-hour “film” OJ: Made in America. I loved both docs but considering Edelman’s OJ was more of a docu-miniseries that maybe should have won some Emmys instead of an Oscar, I By Kathleen • Feb 27, 2017 09:15 am
Style Naomie Harris: Surprise Oscar Connection The other night I told someone how, years ago, I was convinced I hated this show. I yelled at the TV, talked sh*t about it to anyone who would listen. In fact, my roommate would leave the room while I got all worked up about it—which meant I By Duana • Feb 27, 2017 08:59 am
