The Annual Academy Awards - General Discussion

[Browncoat]

Robin does not look good.  Is Lara Spencer the blonde in the black dress on ABC?

Whoa, Robin Roberts' dress is a bit busy.

But she looks beautiful.

Ugh, Vince Vaughn.  He's a decade younger than me and he looks my age.

[Neeners]

Did Vince Vaughn just quote the bible?

[leighdear]

Sorry, I don't think frizzy fake blondes belong in a hot pink Sari.

She's also atop the hair and makeup game, but I just don't like the dress.

[Neurochick]

Michael J. Fox.  He's a very nice person in real life.  I adore him.

[Browncoat]

I love Michael J. Fox.

[leighdear]

Thank goodness Tracy Pollan is wearing royal blue.  It's a relief from the grey & pale caped dresses!

[AimingforYoko]

The first "Hidden Fences" of the night. It will not be the last.

Aww Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas. I stopped watching Once Upon A Time but I am glad they are still together.

You sound astonished that any Hollywood marriage could possibly last longer than six months.  Ginny and Josh have been happily married for almost three years now and have two kids.

[Thumper]

Jessica Biel's face and hair looked so plain!  Then Ryan asks her what she's doing; she says "I just finished blahblahblah on USA (?) network ...   so, that's exciting."

Crickets.

Ryan:" Yeah well that's great bye now!"  (Paraphrasing)

Felt bad for her.

I'm late too. Did Ginnifer say anything about Bill Paxton? Just curious.

Mahershala looks amazing, as usual.

[leighdear]

Is Robin Roberts wearing the sleeveless version of the dress Jessica Biel is wearing?

And from a gay man no less. UGH Jess Cagle.

[Neurochick]

WTF is Dakota Johnson wearing?

WTF is Janelle Monie wearing?

Dakota Johnson was so busy ironing pleats and tying a bow she forgot to wash and style her hair.

My grandmothers curtains.

[vb68]

Matt Damon looks so small standing next to Strahan.

I'm not watching, but I recall reading that Dev would be bringing his mother as his date. That's probably her.

[leighdear]

*sigh* Janelle Monae is wearing a monstrosity.  As is Dakota Johnson.  Her hair is even worse than her dress. 

[chitowngirl]

HATE Dakota Johnson's hair!!!

[Misslindsey]

Mahershala was fantastic in Moonlight. Sadly, I remember him best fro The 4400.

I usually love Janelle Monae's fashion choices, but her dress is horrible. I do like her hair and headband.

Dakota Johnson looks like she stole her dress from Blanche Devereaux.

His mother is there, she's not the blonde in the pink sari.  His mom is a lovely Indian woman wearing a dark sari.  Oh her, it looks stunning.  

[Ohwell]

Somehow I knew Janelle Monae would look like a hot mess. 

[leighdear]

Strahan is why I simply cannot watch the ABC carpet coverage.  

[Browncoat]

Janelle's hair is better than the Mickey Mouse ears she wore it in for ... um... the Golden Globes, maybe?  But her dress was better then.  Not loving the skirt part of this one.

[ABay]

Moane(sp?)..it's like the top half of the Hallie Berry (sp?) dress several years a go, and a giant beetle about to take wing.

Please.  Blanche wouldn't touch that thing.  Dorothy, maybe... :)

[Sugar]

Nina Garcia on ABC looks like complete crap. Fashion editor my ass.

[starri]

Casey Affleck looks homeless.

[leighdear]

I think everybody is just waiting for Emma Stone & Meryl Streep.  *LOL*

You ain't kidding.  WTF was that?  Looks like grey is the color this year.

Oh, ok. Thank you! I'm in Hawaii, so it hasn't started here yet.

The blonde seemed to be with the young man walking behind Dev, so maybe that was his brother and sister-in-law?

[Neeners]

Matt's hair looks bad...

[Misslindsey]

Giulianna Rancic looks more and more tan with every red carpet. I hate her blonde hair.

Nina lost her fashion cred when Project Runway moved to Lifetime.  She became a mouthpiece that just didn't care & got a bad crack habit.  *LOL*

Funny. I thought she actually looked better then usual. Dare, I say healthier looking. That said, I don't have my glasses on. 

[maraleia]

Isabelle Huppert is an amazing actor but she's been insufferable during this award's season press tour and had almost nothing to say during the Close Up With the Hollywood Reporter round table show that airs on Sundance.

I really want Ruth Negga to win for Loving instead of her.

[Spartan Girl]

So far, Kirsten, Taraji, and the girl from Moana are my favorite gowns of the night.

[ABay]

Vikander's dress looks like a saloon girl from the Olde West. 

[Thumper]

Dev Patel's mom!   Awwwww

[Browncoat]

Hate Busy Phillips' dress, as usual.

[Sugar]

Not to be petty, but Chrissy Teigan's boobs look really low on her body; like she doesn't have proper support. And as someone who enjoys a good bra, this is really bothering me.

Also, she is one of MANY who look like they did their hair themselves. There's "effortless" and "casual", and then there's oily, bedraggled, limp, flat, and sad - and many of these ladies fall into the latter categories.

[Neeners]

I love that Michelle Williams brought Busy Phillips!

[leighdear]

Michelle Williams dress looks just like Emma Roberts.  A black bikini top connected to a cream skirt.  BORING!

I hate both he and Matt Damon because of a POS movie called "Gerry" which had to be one of the worst things I've ever seen; it came out in 2002 but I still remember how awful it was.
