The Annual Academy Awards - General Discussion

[starri]

Kirsten Dunst's subtle outfit saying "LOOK AT THESE!"

[leighdear]

Ahhh, more dirty dishwater grey.  Lovely.  

ABC does have their coverage beginning at 7, so there is relief for those not wanting the chatter. 

[Browncoat]

Kirsten Dunst -- no hidden figure there!  She looks fab.

[maraleia]

So I just read this fact- please don't comment on it though. Wanted to give people more context as to who Karlie is.

ACLU ribbon on Karlie's hip. Her boyfriend is Jared Kushner's brother who attended the Women's March, he's Ivanka Trump's brother-in-law.

Wait, Rachel Ray? The cook? I don't get that. 

It was a segment on the Rachel Ray show that Lin's mom Luz had help from Stacy London to pick out her Academy Award dress. It aired sometime this past week on Rachel Ray's show. I have been a Lin fangirl since In the Heights. I know Lin will lose out to La La Land's City of Stars but I really wish he would win.

Hopefully never. I love them both.

Good for them that somebody loves them!  : )

Taraji does look fantastic. Everyone said so upthread but I didn't see her until just now.

[Neurochick]

I don't really like Octavia Spencer's dress.

Taraji looks fantastic.

[Browncoat]

Are those feathers on Octavia Spencer's skirt?

[maraleia]

I heart Taraji so much but I had to stop watching Empire because of the regressive way they told Jamal's story and how they killed off the two queer women on the show.

[Misslindsey]

I adore Sunny Pawar.

Like I say every time I see John Legend just sing "Nutmeg". He actually took me right out of La La Land when he appeared onscreen. I like him, but find Chrissy Teigen annoying.

[ShadowHunter]

I am a fan of Octavia Spencer but don't like the dress. She mentioned Bill Paxton on ABC aww nice.

[leighdear]

Good for Karlie using her fame for something critical like the ACLU.  That makes me much less critical of her.  I hope we see more of those navy ribbons. 

[Browncoat]

WTF is Jessica Biel wearing?

[leighdear]

Ugh, Jessica Biel is walking like an Egyptian.  But Justin T. looks great.  

[ABay]

Where is Octavia Spencer that you are seeing her and I am not?

WTF is Jessica Biel wearing?

I was wondering the same thing. I was just thinking I have liked most of the dresses that were being worn, but then she appeared.

[Browncoat]

They showed Octavia briefly as she exited her vehicle and started down the carpet.

[Sugar]

Taraji looks amazing, and I loved her interview with Ryan- it's so nice when these silly things aren't just awkward banter or asking the celebs who they're wearing.

ABC started coverage at 6. I watched them interview her.

Edited February 26, 2017 by ShadowHunter

[ABay]

Huh. I have the ABC affiliate in picture-in-picture and it's the local news.

[Browncoat]

My ABC is showing ABC World News.  Their coverage won't start for another four minutes.

[Neeners]

Who were those two guys Justin Timberlake was with?

[Browncoat]

Octavia's with Ryan now.  That dress fits her nicely, but it's a little hideous.

Edited February 26, 2017 by Browncoat

[leighdear]

Hmmm.......ANOTHER grey dress.  WTF?  But I like that Olivia went short & feathered.  Kinda cool. 

[ShadowHunter]

I have Verizon Fios so I don't know if they did something different but ABC started at 6.

Edited February 26, 2017 by ShadowHunter

[ABay]

Got her now. Ohhh K...she's being swallowed whole by a grey yeti?

[Quof]

I actually like Octavia's dress. The colour is gorgeous, also her hair and makeup are classic.

[Browncoat]

Oh, my, Dev Patel.  And David Oyelowo, too.

Edited February 27, 2017 by Browncoat

[starri]

Octavia brought her best hair game tonight.  Not crazy about the dress.

Hopefully, ABC will be better.

[Neurochick]

The top of Octavia's dress is nice, the bottom, not so nice.

[Misslindsey]

I love Octavia's dress. I really love the bottom with the feathers.

On a shallow note I could stare at Dev Patel all day.

[shipmate]

I like Octavia's dress, but wish the waistband was in a V instead of straight across.

[Sugar]

*hides* I actually like Biel's dress

[emma675]

It's too bad Jessica Biel's stylist ran out of time and couldn't finish her hair.

Seriously, my hair looks exactly like hers right now and I'm sitting on my couch in sweats.

[Quof]

What in the hell is Jessica Biel wearing?

[Neurochick]

I don't understand Jessica Biel's dress.

Too bad her stylist didn't have time to finish her make up.

Edited February 27, 2017 by Neurochick

[leighdear]

Jessica's dress almost looks like metal cammo.  

[maraleia]

If you haven't done so check out the first three seasons of Spooks aka MI5 in the US where David was one of the three lead actors. He's fabulous.

[ABay]

I don't think the dress on its own is so bad, but the broom around her neck is awful.

[Ohwell]

It's early but I'm giving best dressed to Taraji.  She came correct tonight.

[Wings]

I am late with this.........John Legend and Chrissy Teagan.  UGH and I am not talking clothes. 

[starri]

Whoa, Robin Roberts' dress is a bit busy.

[leighdear]

Nobody cares about you, Jessica. 

[Neeners]

Yikes Jessica's dress.

[Misslindsey]

I forgot how much I dislike Lara Spencer.

Someone interview Dev Patel!

[KaveDweller]

I know E! kisses up to celebrities, but why are they saying Jessica Biel's dress is gorgeous when she isn't even there to hear them.

I don't dislike her, but she has on the worst dress I've seen so far.

Edited February 27, 2017 by KaveDweller

[Neeners]

Wow Kristen has a teeny tiny waist.

[Wings]

Don't like the woman commenting with Russ on E!  

[Browncoat]

Robin does not look good.  Is Lara Spencer the blonde in the black dress on ABC?
