Oscars 2024 A Sheer Roundup I HATE saying this, but I think my biggest disappointment of the night was Lily Gladstone. She’s had SUCH a good red carpet run ever since the Cannes premiere of Killers of the Flower Moon last year, I had high hopes for her first trip to the Met Gala. By Sarah • May 07, 2024 08:31 am
Amazingness Ryan Gosling shows his work I could not get enough of Duana’s post on Ryan Gosling’s “I’m Just Ken” performance at the Oscars yesterday. Because what she was writing about and appreciating was the WORK that Ryan put into being Ken. From the moment he kicked off his Ken era a year By Lainey • Mar 12, 2024 01:51 pm
Oscars 2024 Intro for March 12, 2024 Dear Gossips, We namechecked Angelina Jolie once in our Oscar coverage yesterday in the Sydney Sweeney post about how Sydney wore Angelina’s Oscar dress from 2004 to this year’s Vanity Fair party. But that wasn’t the only Angelina appearance on Oscar weekend. Jon Batiste’s “It Never By Lainey • Mar 12, 2024 10:22 am
Oscars 2024 Lainey's Best Dressed: Pink America but not red There were a few looks I very much enjoyed last night, but this for me was the one that made me gasp – and the first time I saw it, it was from the waist up. America Ferrera in pink Versace, at the Oscars as a first time nominee for Best By Lainey • Mar 11, 2024 03:35 pm
Oscars 2024 Duana’s Best Dressed: Emily Blunt Yeah, I said it. And I mean it. Hear me out – hear me out, I said! Some Best Dressed-s are obvious, and some take a minute. When I thought about all the outfits, the one I kept coming back to (before we saw Vanity Fair, because WHHYYYY were all the By Duana • Mar 11, 2024 03:15 pm
Oscars 2024 Sarah’s Best Dressed: Carey Mulligan The minute I saw Carey Mulligan on the red carpet, I claimed her as my best dressed. Black and white was a trend for the night, and there were some good examples, but Carey just looked so exquisite in this black velvet gown with white tulle hem. It’s a By Sarah • Mar 11, 2024 02:55 pm
Top Reads Sunday Service At The Church Of Kenergy Let me start off this post of unbridled joy with a bit of crabbiness. Indulge me, we haven’t slept, it’s been a long night, and that’s before detours down any of several Kate Middleton wormholes. However: I saw more than one hot take on the Ryan Gosling By Duana • Mar 11, 2024 02:39 pm
Assy Style What color is Lupita’s dress? Oscars fashion controversy! Lupita Nyong’o wore a custom Armani Prive gown to the 2024 Oscars with a feathered peplum and hem, which was 1) a dress originally designed for 2020 but Lupita ended up hanging onto it till now and 2) supposedly a “tribute” to her iconic 2014 Oscar By Lainey • Mar 11, 2024 01:41 pm
Oscars 2024 Witches and Colour at the Oscars As noted in my post about achromatic looks at the Oscars, there wasn’t much colour, not at the awards proper and not even at Vanity Fair, which is why those who did go with colour popped even more. For Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, it was colour and character. By Lainey • Mar 11, 2024 01:18 pm
Oscars 2024 Far, Far Away From A Barbie World By now, the sting of the snub is gone away – nobody, not one person or hopeful 8 year old child, believed the throwaway ‘Best Picture’ nomination for Barbie was going to be anything more than a cute clip montage. The acting nods – I don’t agree with it, but there’ By Duana • Mar 11, 2024 12:56 pm
Oscars 2024 It was still a historic night for Native representation So, Lily Gladstone lost Best Actress to Emma Stone, but you know, last night was still a historic night for Native American representation at the Oscars. Scott George and the Osage Singers performed their nominated original song, “Wahzhazhe (A Song for my People)” live on stage, at an event where By Sarah • Mar 11, 2024 12:40 pm
Oscars 2024 Why can’t actresses be friends? Speaking of the five-presenter format and when it works, here is an example of when it DOESN’T work—the actresses. The matchups were much more awkward, the intros, more stilted, and even when real-life friendship does exist, they didn’t take advantage of it. Let’s start with the By Sarah • Mar 11, 2024 12:19 pm
Oscars 2024 What Does A Lapel Pin Say? The Artists4Ceasefire pins worn at the Oscars last night actually debuted at (or before) the Grammy Awards, and are representative of a group of artists petitioning Joe Biden to ask for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, after the 30,000 lives lost and over 70,000 injured in Gaza and By Duana • Mar 11, 2024 11:05 am
Oscars 2024 Greta, Sydney, and Three Couples: Achromatic Oscar Sarah taught us a new word last night: achromatic. It was an achromatic night in fashion at the Oscars – very little colour, to Duana’s disappointment. Even when there was colour it was the lightest shade of whatever colour was chosen. There was a lot of black and white and By Lainey • Mar 11, 2024 10:16 am
Oscars 2024 Just dudes being bros This year, the Oscars brought back the five-presenter format for the acting awards, in which previous winners personally introduced each of the five nominees. It’s a fun piece of living Oscar history, even if I would ALSO like to see clips of the nominated performances (make the show four By Sarah • Mar 11, 2024 09:19 am
Oscars 2024 Cord Jefferson Is Our New King When I say ‘our’, here, I am of course referring to screenwriters. TV writers, more precisely. Oh, and internet writers. Let me back up for a little biography. You already know that Cord Jefferson won the Oscar for best adapted screenplay for American Fiction, and that, as he has mentioned By Duana • Mar 11, 2024 08:25 am
