The Annual Academy Awards - General Discussion

[vb68]

Charlize is stunning.

[Shannon L.]

I think Kristen Wig's dress is worse than Maya's.  Probably the worst of the night.

[ABay]

Margot has wings.

[Browncoat]

I've got it!  Kristin Wiig is wearing that ribbon candy we used to get at Christmas!

[ShadowHunter]

Kristen Wiig yikes! 

[ABay]

Now I can't wait to see her. Why am I not seeing her?

It's the free Red Carpet Red Bull...

[Neeners]

I love Rami.

He looked very sharp. Brad on the other hand...

I guess Brad Pitt cleans up okay.

[Arynm]

I thought Kristen Whigg looked like something and i cycled through, tripe to lasagna noodles to land on mitochondria. It's terrible

[Browncoat]

Gal Gadot is not looking her best tonight.

[Growsonwalls]

Brad! Looks like he came alone. 

[ShadowHunter]

Gal Gadot her dress is a miss.

Perhaps we can start a trend. The Academy Awards & Miralax...

Depending on how this show goes, it is a natural laxative.  

The botox providers in town must have been really busy this past week.

[AimingforYoko]

Damn, Zazie Beets is a good looking woman.

[TVFan17]

Why do interviewers always ask dumb questions such as "What was it like to film that movie" or "What was it like to work with so-and-so"?  What kinds of answers are they expecting?  They know what the answers will be, whether they are truthful or not.  Can't anyone think of an original question that is safe and inoffensive to ask?

[ABay]

To me, Kristen Wiig looks like she's wearing a giant roll of crepe paper, the kind with ruffled edges.

[Growsonwalls]

Leo sounds like he had a few edibles before hitting up the red carpet.

[Neeners]

I bet Leo wished he would have been interviewed by Lilly. Or maybe she's too old for him. 😏

He's not going to win so he may as well just get high and enjoy himself.

I'm waiting for someone to say, "It sucked!  The director sucked -- too much micromanaging.  The script was poorly written, but we couldn't improvise or improve it.  And my co-stars were the worst!"

He's probably been snacking on them during the carpet

Hey, whatever gets you through.

[mtlchick]

It still makes me smile that Leo and Brad are two titans of the industry and both appeared on Growing Pains. (RIP Alan Thicke!)

[ShadowHunter]

I have to see Mark Consuelos again? Ugh lol.

[ichbin]

Cynthia Erivo's waist! Looks painful.

Not too many Fulbright scholars pine for Red Carpet duty...

Maybe Margot is really into BDSM and brought her own restraints in case she finds a hook up.

He always seems so thirsty and famewhorey, but given his wife, I guess that's a given

[wallflower75]

Ahhh...group supervision over, dinner prepared, and here I am to catch the last few stars coming in before the big show.  Anyone care to guess how late the show will run over?

Isn't that what happened with Debra Winger and Shirley MacLaine in Terms of Endearment? IIRC the two ladies refused to play nice even at the Oscars.

Family values

[kittykat]

I'd rather hear those questions than the sexist ones women usually receive or when a man married to a female nominee gets asked, "you ok playing second fiddle tonight?" HAR HAR!

Married. But hey, maybe he's into it.

Uh from people who have worked in the business for a long time Lily is the wrong gender for him.

I think Brad could pull off such a joke but maybe in the form of an acceptance speech instead of red carpet pablum. 

In personal news I’ve ditched the socks and slippers in favor of blankets. 

[mtlchick]

Salma is looking like “didn’t I JUST talk to you 15 minutes ago, Seacrest?”

[yowsah1]

I had to drive home from a game night, and of course a nasty blizzard decided to strike while I was trying to get back, but I squeaked in and am ready to watch and comment!  Bring on the Oscars!  😄

[Scout Finch]

Just thought I'd share what I was wearing for about 15 minutes up until a couple of minutes ago: For the second time today, draped over my shoulder was a very soft, orange, long-haired, 22-lb. cat who begs to be picked up and held.

[kib]

Seacrest finally found a woman he can look up to...

He made fun of Tarantino's foot fetish, so maybe.

TEA!!

[bmoore4026]

Well, I'm here.  I'm not in a very good mood, but I'm here.

Let's get this picture started.

Seacrest looks up to everyone.  Except the kids.

Edited February 10, 2020 by Browncoat

[Shannon L.]

Well, I have to pause it for about 10-15 minutes, so I can't continue or I'll be spoiled. It was fun! Enjoy the show!

[Growsonwalls]

Not really any tea, no one has much bad to say about him. Just that there's a reason he only "dates" models for a short time before moving onto the next one. 

Now John Travolta is a different story ... There people really do hate his guts and have some pretty nasty stories about him and his beard of wife.

I initially read that as "sucks up to everyone" and now I can't unsee it.

That is equally true!

[Frost]

I despise Ryan Secrest with every fiber of my being.  If he is ever made the host of the Oscars, not even watching the fashions could make me watch.

OMG!  This is how they're kicking off the Oscars?  God help us all.
