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

Oh dear. I'll google. Thanks, though!

[Neeners]

Kelly's hair is very pretty.

Jesus Wendi McLendon-Covey. Boobs!!

A peak of cleavage can be really sexy. Instead, her dress has been spread open like they're about to perform open heart surgery on her. I don't consider that a classy look, especially at a black tie type of event.

[aradia22]

What is going on with Mary J? It's not terrible but it's definitely a "fuck it, I'm not winning" dress.

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

It looks to me like he's just bringing the style of T'Challa's wardrobe. I loved it.

[ProudMary]

Mary J. Blige has, by far, my favorite gown so far.  She looks stunning!
 

[aradia22]

Oh boy. I found the Salma Hayek dress. It's like bad cosplay for Megara from Hercules. 

[Thumper]

Like MJ Blige's dress.

Also the mystery woman (missed her name) in the yellow dress.  Wow!

It will come out he did Nothing wrong.  There is more to it with the woman who accused him.  E! Cleared him immediately and said no proof.  No one who knows her believes her. 

[ShadowHunter]

That was a nice story Chadwick told about Denzel.  "You owe me money". Nice to hear fun tales.

[ABay]

Are you guys talking about the same person? 

ETA: Wendy McClendon-Covey and the Get Out woman are both in green but only one looks like she forgot the front of her dress, and it isn't Wendy.

Is Helen Mirren in a nominated movie. She's in a fine dress but it's very... casual. 

[Ohwell]

Mary J. Blige looks faker than fake with all that makeup, even by Hollywood standards. 

[Chas411]

So Mary J is Team Ryan anyway.

I think he looks fabulous.  My favorite male so far.  Seems very African in styling which is absolutely the fashion statement I hoped and expected he would make.  I haven't see a full on shot of him yet.  I only saw him from the side in the crowd.  I'm off to look for a photo...

[aradia22]

Ooh, Daniel Kaluuya coming in hot with a CHOICE. I still prefer a navy suit if we're going for a color but I like that men are starting to make more interesting choices.

abc.com has the option to watch live. 

[mojoween]

Ok one more thing about Titanic and I'll shut up about it (but those Oscars WERE 20 years ago this year so I feel historic).

I’m still salty that Leo wasn’t even nominated.

John Mahoney.... *sigh* loved him

While a household name, I don’t think “big” enough for the final slot. And I would be impressed if David Ogden Stiers got edited in at the last minute.

[aradia22]

I'm not in love with Chadwick's suit. I don't mind the detailing. I just think it needs something extra to pull it together... maybe a shiny fabric for the tie or the lapels or the jacket. It just doesn't feel totally cohesive. I'm also not sold on the thin lapels. 

[sally-can-wait]

Daniel Kaluuya looks tiny next to Strahan!

Oh my God, that's so sad. I didn't know until now. 

[ABay]

Does Daniel Kaluuya work for Century 21?

Or is the pumpkin for Tiffany's Cinderella.

I'm so glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read your comment. lmao

Wow, the E! folks are loving Salma's dress. 

I like Allison Williams' dress.

I wouldn't even get mad at my SO for drooling over that woman in the yellow dress.  Yowza.

 No,  not at all.  I can’t take time now to type it out.  She has zero credibly.

Janet Mock looks great... if weirdly bridal. But WHY is she there?

Just saw it for the first time last night and I’m still reeling.  It’s incredible.  Have a great time!

Whoa, what is Salma wearing?  Just a no from top to bottom.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

I'm not blown away by anyone's look yet. I guess if I had to choose, Alison Janney is winning so far. Ashley Judd looks nice, I like the color of her dress. And Jordan Peele for the fellows. Teehee.

[ari333]

abc.com not available in my area WTF? I have it on my freakin tv in the other room. any other options  for laptop viewing in the kitchen?

Edited March 5, 2018 by ari333

[sally-can-wait]

According to twitter yellow dress lady is Eiza González from Baby Driver. 

[aradia22]

I've just realized that Alison Janney has come as Morticia Adams... but in red. 

I see you.

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

She’s actually 86.

Taraji doesn't age.

[aradia22]

Gorgeous detailing on Eliane Cavalleiro's (Danny Glover's date) dress.

Peopletv has something too but I don't have a link; try googling for it.

[Darian]

I cannot be objective about Viola Davis, but I think she looks gorgeous. 

[chitowngirl]

Taraji looks great! Laura Dean looks good, but wrinkly.

Who invited these Olympians? This is weird. This is not the MTV movie awards. Why are all these people not affiliated with the academy attending the show?

[Neeners]

I'm sorta into these bright dresses!
