[ABay]

I think I like Taraji's dress. I know I like her.

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

TBH, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone on the pre-shows say anything negative about something they see on the red carpet.  Even if it ends up on the worst dressed list a few days later.  

That slit is too high, Taraji.  I hate it when it practically goes up to the waist.

[aradia22]

Diane Warren ready to challenge Jane Fonda for strongest shoulders. 

Btw, I'm just looking at vulture now. http://www.vulture.com/2018/03/oscars-2018-red-carpet-looks.html

Who the hell are these women hosts on ABC? How is it I've literally never seen them before or even heard their names? 

[NowVoyager]

Juliana Rancic has been through a LOT with her health, God bless her! But, she's old school fashion police criticizing everybody, so here goes--- I'm sure her fake tan is uber expensive, but her skin looks hella dry! 

O.M.G. Whoopi. NO! Dear God, No!

[Ohwell]

Mary J:  Thats what happens when you get tats when you're younger.  Her dress looks great but the tattoos cheapen the look.

[Sew Sumi]

Whoopi, WTF???

[Amethyst]

Is something going on with Mira’s teeth?  

Viola looks so cute.

I know Wendi McLendon-Covey from Reno 911 (hysterical show) but the other lady...no idea. 

[aradia22]

Miguel is working a look I would have loved on Chadwick. Coat over the suit. Very much like a cape. Very kingly. 

Taraji looks gorgeous but I agree that's just boring dress with a crazy high slit. And the whole look is a little witchy.

ITA. I literally just said that to my husband!

Agreed.  Some of these women are trying too hard and she's one of them.  I loved her hair and makeup though.

[ABay]

Checking Vulture (thanks @aradia22) and I'm ...sorry?...I missed Adam Rippon?

[catrox14]

I love Whoopie but did she do a Carol Burnett skit by taking a drape and making it into a dress?

[ABay]

How are you all seeing these people before I do?! Whoopie *just* showed up.

And how I wish she hadn't.

[aradia22]

Luca Guadagnino wearing a spider pin? Is this a reference?

[Fostersmom]

Well, I like Whoopi's hair, but the dress? Good lord. 

Her daughter looks lovely. 

[Amethyst]

What the freaking hell is Whoopi wearing?  Are those Timbs?

[Cupcake04]

Whoopie WTF????????  OMG she could not look any worse.  She wouldve been better off wearing sweats.  

[aradia22]

Pasek and Paul. One has a ACLU ribbon. The other has a Times Up pin.

On the Red Carpet, I think it's ok for pictures. However, in person, Ladies! It's waay too much! From certain angles we can see your coochie! If the slit on your dress requires a bikini wax, it's too high!

[Ohwell]

Tiffany Haddish can go sit down any time now.

[aradia22]

Margot Robbie... cheap white dress with some tinsel. 

What is with all these dresses looking like they were made with fabric from the bargain bin?

[ProudMary]

I love Whoopi's gown.
My ABC affiliate is finally showing the red carpet coverage.  These interviewers except for Michael Strahan are terrible.  I'm embarrassed for them.

[aradia22]

Zendaya looks very regal in an old school Grecian gown. 

[Wings]

She was not looking good at all.  I feel badly for her about her hair.  She needs to stick with her big shirt wardrobe.

[mariah23]

Seeing all these former Academy Award winners, I think they are going something like they did at the 75th Oscars.

[aradia22]

I'm not sure about Viola Davis. I'm used to her going for something not matronly but very regal. This is more... Angela Bassett.

Yeah, Strahan's effortless and so personable. The others, not so much.

I agree...although it's hard to be entertaining and festive when one of the main topics is, "So tell me more about being harassed."

I adore this woman. 

[Ohwell]

I watching E news and who is that skinny woman in the black dress who looks like a witch?

[Sugar]

I, for one, remember what Whoopi has worn to past award shows, and am grateful that she looks somewhat put together. When we could have had a giant garbage bag, pillow case, or tarp, paired with neon coloured sneakers, we instead got a gown (a Christian Siriano no less!). This is somewhat of an achievement for Whoopi. 

[Browncoat]

I liked Zendaya in The Greatest Showman, but I am not feeling this dress.

[Amethyst]

Margot’s ensemble is putting me to sleep.  Including her hair.

Zendaya’s would work if the fabric was more tailored on the shoulder.  It looks like it’s melting off of her.  And the color is drab.

My question, as well.  ???

[aradia22]

Dissenting voice... I like that Whoopi went glam, wore a dress, and wore colors. It's not my favorite look but I don't hate it. 

On the other hand, Tiffany Haddish made... too much of a choice. She doesn't look bad. But it's not appropriate for the event. 

[Browncoat]

Who is that with Margo?  Whoever it is, I hate her dress.

[Thumper]

Allison Janney's dress is very "I'm going to win."  I dislike the sleeves though, and I know they would annoy me.

[Neeners]

I love Jennifer. I think she's gorgeous.

[catrox14]

Jennifer Garner looks stunning.

Well if you pair it with Timberlands and awful hair, it doesnt matter that its custom made Siriano, it looks like shit!  imo of coirse!

[ShadowHunter]

I like the dress Jennifer Garner is wearing. The blue is beautiful.

Her mom. I agree the dress is a bit of a miss. 

[ABay]

I love the color of Jennifer Garner's dress.

[Browncoat]

I love that shade of blue Jennifer's wearing.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

J. Garner looked gorgeous! I'd forgotten how much I loved her orange dress from a few years ago.

That’s a “look at what you’re missing, Ben” look!
