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

It is her mom!  lol

[ProudMary]

Jennifer Garner's dress is lovely.  And that shade of blue is amazing!

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!

I don't like her dress, but what's wrong with her hair?

Her mother.

[Cupcake04]

OMG Jennifer Garner is perfection!  That color is gorgeous!

[aradia22]

Phoebe Waller Bridge... I swear Sarah Paulson has worn that.

That's Whoppi's thing. She's always wearing kooky shoes and even has her own line of quirky socks that she designs. I get that it's not everyone's cup of tea, but she's not a Nicole Kidman or Viola Davis - you can't compare her to the women who actually try to look glam. She's more of a Bjork - just be glad she shows up wearing clothing and not random objects glued to her body! :P

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

On the panel?   She is the former editor of some teen fashion magazine (don't remember her name or the magazine's).

[Cupcake04]

Have we seen Laurie Metcalf yet?

[Sugar]

Jennifer Garner looks different - way more 'va va voom' than she has recently. I think she also dropped a bunch of weight (not that she wasn't always thin, it's just that before she had a more athletic build). Whatever it is, she looks great and confident and happy. Good for her!

[ABay]

Margot Robbie's dress looks like it comes with a bunch of accessories so you can dress it up or down. Here's the tinsel drapery for the red carpet. Here;s the big sun hat and towel for the beach. Here's the reflective tape for running at night.

Don't think so. Only Lady Bird spotting so far is Greta.

She makes Giuliana look like she's a healthy weight.

[chitowngirl]

Jennifer Lawrence looks like the Walk of Shame.

Thanks.  I haven't read a teen magazine in ohhh...about 40 years. ; )

[NowVoyager]

I'm mad some folks are seeing looks before I do. Like Jennifer Garner. I'm watching E! Are you guys watching ABC?

[Amethyst]

Like the fit of JLaw’s dress, but not the dress itself.

[Sugar]

unpopular opinion: I love Margot's dress, but I hate that hair. She does it a lot, and while cute for a casual look, is too simple and flat for this setting.

[Browncoat]

I'm flipping back and forth.

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

She does look gorgeous, but I thought it was funny she talked about the orange dress by saying she doesn't usually like asymmetrical stuff....when her current dress was asymmetrical.

There hasn't been a ton of color this year.

I am. E! stops doing interviews an hour before the show starts and just blabs about fashion while showing video.

[aradia22]

Meh on Elizabeth Moss. It's not terrible. But I'm out on very pale women wearing very pale colors. 

[Ohwell]

Viola Davis looks cute but the look is just too young for her.

[NowVoyager]

Viola Davis looks gorgeous in pink! I just love her!

[sally-can-wait]

Timothée is so cute!!

[Browncoat]

Viola's purse is a little matchy-matchy for me, but I think she looks great.

[aradia22]

Is anyone interviewing Doug Jones? He should really get credit for his work since that's a part of the industry that usually isn't highlighted.

Yes, I'm watching ABC.

[Neeners]

That's so sweet how they have videos for some of the nominees.

[Amethyst]

No to Timothy’s white suit.  Jordan Peele wore his white suit jacket nicely, but all this white is too much.

[BW Manilowe]

Here is the order in which the awards will be presented tonight, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Supporting Actor will be first; Supporting Actress will be 9th, after Best Foreign Film; Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, & Best Picture will be the final 4.

[Ohwell]

I think Daniel looks handsome.

[Browncoat]

See, Timothee's mom has a nice dress!

[aradia22]

Timothee looks like he's in a bad rental. Is that linen? this is not the time for a loose fabric. He's been very stylish lately so I don't get this choice. 

Armie Hammer's suit looks much better because of course it does on that frame. But I'm not into the red velvet with the bowtie. He looks like a waiter. 

[chitowngirl]

Ooo, Emily Blunt, no!!! Just no!!!

[Thumper]

I'm flipping back and forth, too.

[sally-can-wait]

I love Saoirse so much. She looks great but she needs to cut that bow right off. 

[ShadowHunter]

Did not love the few seconds I saw of Emily Blunts dress. 

[Amethyst]

I spy the cast of Black Panther! 

Saw Emily Blunt.  Wasn’t Alicia Vikander wearing a similar dress once?

[Neeners]

Matthew's skin, though...

[Browncoat]

Saoirse needs to wear a color other than pink.

Oh good god, Emily Blunt!  Who did that to you and why?

[Neeners]

OMG Emily's dress is so pretty IMO.

[Browncoat]

Not a fan of Emily Gordon's dress either -- the color or style.

Jennifer Lawrence looked...interesting.

LOL. Thats the mom on The Goldbergs!  I love her but how in the hell did she end up with this gig???  RIP Joan Rivers I miss you more every year!

[Browncoat]

I also don't particularly care for Emma Stone's outfit -- red jacket, pink belt, and black pants?  Big nope from me.

[Sugar]

Wasn't she in Bridesmaids? She looks like the mom with the horny sons who kept bitching about how gross they were. 

I actually miss the interviewers asking who each person is wearing. I always liked to know, so I could make a mental note to myself that if I ever make millions, I'll know which designers to hit up.

Giuliana on E! interviewed him for about 10 minutes around 6 p.m.  Maybe the E! website will have it up at some point.

Thanks for that link.  This Sorkinite was hoping that Adapted Screenplay would be a bit earlier in the evening.  Sometimes they give out one of the writing awards fairly early on.  Not tonight.  :(
