The Annual Academy Awards - General Discussion

[AimingforYoko]

Is it me or does Eddie Redmayne look 12?

[Browncoat]

Eddie Redmayne's pants look awfully tight.

[lovemytvshows]

I kinda feel like Rooney Mara always has the same expression on any red carpet. Probably her silent protest against it? She did mention she doesn't get the whole standing there, having strange men with cameras shout at you and a million blinding flashes.

[Browncoat]

If she doesn't get it and doesn't like it, she does, in fact, have the option of staying home.

[elzin]

Jason Segal (which I can't spell) looks.... normal. He hasn't been looking great for a while.

[AimingforYoko]

If she doesn't get it and doesn't like it, she does, in fact, have the option of staying home.

I suppose, but then she would get ripped for not showing up. Doing what you don't want to do is part of the gig. She gets paid the same whether she actually likes it or not.

This! Or at the very least... skip the red carpet. It's not rocket science. If you're that against something and supposedly uncomfortable then don't do it. Do these people think it makes them more respectable if they act like they're there against their will.

 

Naomi Watts looks gorgeous.

[Browncoat]

Kerry Washington's dress is... interesting.  The top looks a bit like armor.

[Misslindsey]

 

Eddie Redmayne's pants look awfully tight.

If he needs help taking them off, I am here!

 

How the hell does Kris Jenner have any qualifications to judge fashion? Her normal dress is some sort of black outfit.

[Chas411]

Is Ryan's red carpet done now? Because I'm turning it off if all we have left is Guilianna, Kris Kardashian and a screech of Ross on the side.

[Browncoat]

No idea.  I've been watching ABC instead.

[Petunia13]

Kerry Washington and Naomi Watts are so pretty.

[Misslindsey]

Naomi Watts' dress is gorgeous. Not sure how I feel about Kerry Washington's. I kind of like it and I kind of don't.

 

 

Is Ryan's red carpet done now? Because I'm turning it off if all we have left is Guilianna, Kris Kardashian and a screech of Ross on the side.

I was wondering the same thing.

[Browncoat]

Not a fan of Julianne Moore's dress, either.

[cpcathy]

How come everyone looks so skinny? Is my TV a funhouse mirror and I was not informed?

[ABay]

Is Affleck going to be there? I have $20 on him not smiling for the umpteenth year in a row. 

[elzin]

Tina Fey looks amazing. Love the purple so much.

[Browncoat]

She does.  The purple is gorgeous.

 

But good gravy -- what is Cate wearing?

Edited February 29, 2016 by Browncoat

[Chrissytd]

I don't like Cate's dress.

[Misslindsey]

I will echo Tina Fey looking amazing. The purple is beautiful. 

 

I am not loving Cate's dress either. 

[AimingforYoko]

Is Affleck going to be there? I have $20 on him not smiling for the umpteenth year in a row. 

Well, he actually has good reason this year.

[Neurochick]

I think ABC has the only red carpet coverage for the last hour (and that's when most of the stars show up).

[ByaNose]

Giuliana Rancic looks overly tan, overly made up & anorexic. Yikes!

[lovemytvshows]

Rachel McAdam's green dress is amazing

[Chrissytd]

Lady Gaga looks nice.

[Browncoat]

I guess for Gaga, that's a nice outfit, but I can't say I like pants with trains.

[ABay]

Cate Blanchett looks like she had a bad case of static cling as she walked through a florist's shop.

[Misslindsey]

I liked Rachel McAdam's dress was great. I liked the green color.

 

Lady Gaga does look nice. I kind of like the pants.

[ABay]

Was Rachel McAdams in the green sheath-ish dress?

[AimingforYoko]

Liev Schreiber is the white Morgan Freeman, his voice was made to narrate documentaries.

[ari333]

Tina Fey  rockin the purple.

[loriro]

Like Leo, but he ALWAYS seems, when he's talking, like he's got chewing tobacco packed in his lip. LOL 

[ABay]

AimingforYoko, he's always got a reason! "They didn't nominate me for best director!" "I screwed the nanny and my wife left me!" "Damon gets all the good press!" "I'm Batman, damn it!" Whine, whine, whine. Pout, pout, pout. You're rich, healthy, and youngish. Lighten the fuck up.

What in bedazzled hell is Kevin Hart wearing?

[ABay]

Russell Crowe is presenting?! Will he throw the award at the winner's head? I would stay up for that!

[ABay]

E! should change its name to K! since it's all Kardashian all the time. 

[Misslindsey]

 

Russell Crowe is presenting?! Will he throw the award at the winner's head? I would stay up for that!

Hee! I was an extra in Man of Steel, and I would always see Russell Crowe at my local Whole Foods. He did not throw any food at anyone that I know of.

Sorry ABC, but this behind the scenes look at the stage and wherever we find Michael Strahan is a bit lame. 

[Praskovia]

Giuliana Rancic looks overly tan, overly made up & anorexic. Yikes!

So, standard Giuliana, right? :p

 

I like Cate's dress. It's like a flowery mermaid.

[ABay]

There are 3 things that will always endear Crowe to me: his thighs in Gladiator and his not killing the livestock on his ranch because "it's their home too, mate."

[ByaNose]

Did Whoppi Goldberg gain an amazing amount of weight since last week? Never knew she was that heavy. Too bad she has that unfortunate tattoo. Not a good look with a gown.[/quote

Charlize Theron wins. Night over. 

[AimingforYoko]

Charlize Theron wins. Night over.

FTFY.

[bmoore4026]

Well, I'm here, everyone!  Fireworks gone off?  National guard called out?  Balloon gone up?

[ABay]

Random thought: the first time I saw Mark Ruffalo was on an episode of due South. I only remember that because I lived in Buffalo and misread his name in the credits.

 

I miss that show.

By my count that's two.  Unless you are counting each thigh, I suppose.

[ABay]

Yes, of course I'm counting each thigh, that was the joke. And each was magnificent.

[Praskovia]

I'm in love with Alicia Vikander's earrings.

 

I ran into--literally, ran into--Olivia Wilde a couple years ago in NYC and she is just as beautiful in person as she is on screen. I like her hairstyle tonight.

[Fostersmom]

wait, did mark just call the lack of diversity a "liberal" issue?

[AimingforYoko]

Pre-game's over. Light 'em up, Chris.

[Misslindsey]

I cannot say I am too excited for Chris Rock. I always feel like he is yelling at me.
