The Annual Academy Awards - General Discussion

[catrox14]

I don't know who the interviewer is on the ABC broadcast, but she is really bad. Michael Straithan should just host and interview.

I hate Salma Hayek's dress.

It's blindingly sparkling, and NOT in a good way. It's just no, just no. Tacky at it's worst which is surprising, she's usually so well put together. 

[Amethyst]

Chadwick!

[MVFrostsMyPie]

I love the deer antler pin on Jordan Peele. LOL!!

[Thumper]

I love Rita Moreno.  She looks great.

[NowVoyager]

I'm feeling very fancy tonight! I'm wearing an old, black, polyester $20 nightie. The label's worn off now, but I'm pretty sure at one time it said "Marilyn Monroe Collection." ?

Ohhhh! *That's* what it was! hahaha

Is Betty Gabriel the one everyone thinks is going to fall out of her dress? I'm guessing there's a lot of double-sided tape holding it on. I appreciate the daring neckline but I'm not sure I like the fabric or pattern. 

I have seen the butt bow. Who is that? Zac Posen? I love him but it's the kind of thing he would do.

Yes she just got there and is in silver? I think she and Sam Rockwell will win tonight and give some good speeches. 

[ari333]

I love Rita Moreno too

 

and Salma Hayek usually looks smokin

[CarpeDiem54]

I'm wearing an old cotton nightgown with so many holes in it it's more holes than fabric.  I think it used to be pink.  My fleece robe is a pale greenish blue with giant pink roses on it.  I'm also rocking black wool socks and Birkenstocks.  I'm one smokin' hot woman.  Ha!

I don't have cable and it's windy out so my over the air antenna keeps cutting out.  Frustrating!I

Rita Moreno rocks at 86!  

[Neeners]

Yeah, I'm not into Salma's dress, either.

Yes, what is that?

[ShadowHunter]

Now that I know that Rita wore that dress in 1962 that is sweet.

[ABay]

That photo with Rita, the guy from WSS (and Rock Hudson) has stuck "America" in my head and it won't leave. 

[aradia22]

Am I crazy or did Jane Fonda wear this same dress in yellow another year?

(Nevermind, looked it up. It's different. I'm just thrown because of those power shoulders.)

You have Mary J winning over Allison Janney and Laurie Metcalf? That would be quite the upset but those do tend to happen in the Support Actress category.

WORD. rock it, rita.

[mojoween]

Hey now America is in my head too THANKS.

I don’t know why Lindsey Vonn is at the Oscars, but I saw a pic of her on Twitter and that is a hard no.

[catrox14]

I'm wearing patched jeans (because of holes, not fashion) and a Blue t-shirt from Target. And flip flops.

I am team metcalf and have not even seen the movie heh

Yeah, you just keep pretending you eat Kinder-Joy Giuliana, nice try.

It looks like a chandelier fell on her and landed over her shoulders. 

[aradia22]

Hate Gina Rodriguez's gown. Bad fabric. And so much of it. It looks cheap and poorly made. Like, if a teenager made it for prom I'd be impressed but for the Oscars, it's ugly. 

[Neurochick]

Sir Patrick Stewart!

[Neeners]

Patrick has a pin, and so does his wife (?). Her dress is very pretty, IMO.

[ari333]

I liked Rita's egypt necklace and she was rockin it at 86

[aradia22]

I'm Team Chita Rivera instead of Team Rita Moreno. I'm still not over the Tuptim thing.

[Ohwell]

I don't know who this chick is but she's wearing the hell outta that yellow dress. 

[Chas411]

Any chance people aren't interviewing with Ryan because of the recent allegations? I actually hadnt even thought of that!

[chitowngirl]

Showered, jammed and all caught up!

[Neeners]

I love Richard Jenkins!

[Wings]

She can still fit into a dress from over 50 years ago? Bitch!

Well, it was probably altered.  Still she looked great for 80!   Her arms and skin looked much younger. 

[ABay]

Is anyone impressed that I can fit into the same T shirt as 25 years ago?

[Wings]

I do too. Loved him in Six ft Under.

Yes. Bitch! ;)

Gina Rodriguez is a beautiful woman. The dress, however...

Is that Mary J. Blige in the white dress? I quite liked that dress.

David Ogden Stiers? John Mahoney? I loved him.

What's the story on Ryan?

[ABay]

Oh, Tiffany, no! You're breaking my heart. I adore you but that's a costume, not a gown.

I am impressed. [/jealous dammit]

He'll be in next year -- it's too late for him for this year, sadly.

[Wings]

Tiffany Hadish terribly rude hair do!  Hopefully she is in the back row.

John Mahoney.... *sigh* loved him

[Amethyst]

Richard Jenkins will always have a place in my heart because of “The Visitor.”

Mary J Blige looks very pretty.  Love the way her dress flows.

I feel like Allison Williams, Elizabeth Moss, and Gina Rodriguez all wore variations of the same dress, but only Allison is pulling it off.

Wow, Tiffany Haddish went all out!  I think she looks good.

Nasty allegations of sexual harassment from his clothing stylist of 6+ years. Just gross. Nobody was sure he would show his face tonight.

[aradia22]

I like Beanie Feldstein's dress. It's a basic cut but the detailing is cool and a little edgy in a goth princess Evanescence way. It's nice to see someone dressing a plus size woman in a way that's not very sexy (body con to show off the curves) or matronly. I know Melissa McCarthy is the one with the fashion line but I'm more impressed in how women like Aidy Bryant and Beanie Feldstein and Adele are dressing in bold patterns and colors and flouting conventional wisdom about what plus size women can wear. 

[Neeners]

I want to see Black Panther again.

I want to see it the first time.  I am going to on Tuesday.

Did Chadwick Boseman get lost on the way to the Grammys? That is just not an Oscars jacket.
