The Annual Academy Awards - General Discussion

[maraleia]

Best friends Busy Phillips and Michelle Williams arriving holding hands. They looked fab.

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.

I thought exactly the same thing.  She needs a good bra.

Matt Damon looks so small standing next to Strahan.

Heh I feel like most men will have this problem.

Isabelle Hubbert's dress looks like belted bedsheets.  Expensive bedsheets, but bedsheets nonetheless. 

I like how the Marie Claire editor said Isabelle's black nail polish was edgy.  No, honey, it's really not.

Oh ick I just saw Janelle Monae.  You guys were not kidding.

[leighdear]

Scarlett Jo looks good in that rosy shade.  Has she found a new husband yet?  She seems to be on the Liz Taylor Man Acquisition Trajectory.  

[Wings]

I adore Kimmel but I am not looking forward to his and Matt's fake hate shtick.  Time to stop, it was old years ago.

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

Especially since Meryl is REALLY going to be on the warpath tonight.

[Misslindsey]

I really like Scarlett Johansson's dress.

Alicia Vikander's dress looks like the old west meets goth.

Instant groan.  

[Sugar]

I actually like Janelle Monae's dress - it works for her style, which is very specific.

Dakota Johnson, on the other hand...I see dresses like that on sale for 2.99 at my local Salvation Army. Girls needs help.

[starri]

I keep thinking Isabelle is a fresher-looking Jessica Lange.

[leighdear]

Wow, Sting & Trudy Styler actually look their ages and are dressed very appropriately and classy!   But of course, they're music people,  not movie people.  *LOL*

I hope she KILLS it!

Why isn't anybody wearing Christian Siriano?  I DEMAND he be represented!  I need to see something fierce!

[mojoween]

The pixie cut has never been a favorite of mine so I am not digging Michelle Williams's hair.  Also that is a harsh blonde color.

Busy's dress is...technically a dress.

[leighdear]

Oh good lord, what is that thing on Halle Berry's head?

[Ohwell]

Is Halle drunk?  WTF?

[leighdear]

The dress is ok though.  Kinda dull colors though.

Oh, Meryl will bring it, all right.  Remember, she's not only going to be doing Trump v. Streep, Round 2.  She's also pissed off over being accused of dumping her dress designer at the last minute in favor of one that allegedly offered to pay her to wear his creation, which is something that she has said is against her personal policy.

[Browncoat]

Halle's hair looks like a hat.

[Neurochick]

I don't like Halle Berry's hair, I'm not talking about the texture, but it looks like a wig. Otherwise, she looks amazing.

Moving to ABC, don't want to see any Kartrashians.

And Emma Stone is wearing a dark cream beaded dress.  *yawn*

Good point - he's really been killing the awards circuit the past couple of years, and I always perk up when I see someone wearing his work. There's still time!

[Browncoat]

I wish Emma Stone would wear some color.  She looked great in La La Land with all those bright colors. Not a fan of her dress tonight.

She usually is.

It's early but I'm giving best dressed to Taraji.  She came correct tonight.

No! Kirsten Dunst! Oscar Goddess!

[Neeners]

I love Halle's dress, but holy crap her hair! Why? I got a quick look at Emma's dress and loved it.

[DearEvette]

The Hidden Figures Crew certainly brought it.

Janelle Monae's dress is very 2002 Halle Berry top meets circa 1500's Queen Elizabeth I bottom. I kinda dig it.

Kursten Dunst looks cool & beautiful

Taraj is looking Goddess gorgeous

and Octavia Spenser is looking sparkling lovely.

[ABay]

I didn't like Scarlett Johansson's dress when I saw it from afar, but it looks OK close up.

Lagerfeld is old, so he'll probably forget all about it within a day.  

[Misslindsey]

I actually do not mind Robin Roberts' dress. I do not like the straps though, but the rest I think is fine. Not my favorite, but not horrible either.

[Spartan Girl]

I though Emma's dress was more gold than cream. Must be a trick of the light.

[Sugar]

So torn. ABC has better interviews (aka slightly less annoying hosts), but E! has better dress porn... :/

[leighdear]

Too many pale, boring & washed out colors.  

Yep, Emma's is more of a gold than cream. 

Edited February 27, 2017 by leighdear

[starri]

Is the entire cast of Rogue One presenting?

[ABay]

I wish I was as entertaining and endearing as Justin Timberlake thinks he is.

[mojoween]

Alicia Vikander's dress is doing things to her chest that are unnatural.

I love Robin Roberts.  SHE should host.

Oh dear god Halle's hair!  Like I don't even have the proper words to say what it makes me think of.

[chitowngirl]

Meryl's probably not going to win, so she won't be on stage.

[Sugar]

VIOLA!!!  I didn't catch the bottom her dress, but waist up she looks FANTASTIC!

[Misslindsey]

E! has Kris Jenner so it is a no from me.

Viola looks amazing in the brief snippet I saw of it.

I really hate Michael Strahan on the red carpet.

Power to the people?

[Misslindsey]

Lin!

[Neurochick]

I just saw Viola Davis and she's wearing RED.  I don't like her hair though.

[ABay]

I think Meryl is presenting an award.

[Neeners]

Holy crap I didn't even recognize Lin!

[starri]

Viola's husband is a fine-looking man.

Dress is good.  Hair is good.  Makeup is good.

[vb68]

Aww  Lin and his mom. So sweet.

[DearEvette]

Hate Halle's hair.  Pretty dress though.

Jessice Biel looks like she is wearing a gold dusted Death Star.

Felicity Jones' dress is so sad and bland.  It is sad that it is so bland.

[ABay]

Did Nicole Kidman dye the dress to match her skin or vice versa?

ETA: Emma Stone, same question.

He's already acknowledged he was "mistaken" and sort of apologized. 

[Arynm]

The actress from Quantico is wearing a headboard. It's truly terrible

Priyanka Chopra is her name

[Browncoat]

Janelle is giving her acceptance speech.

[chitowngirl]

Robin's dress would look better if is fell straight down from the hips instead of being a mermaid cut.
