OMG, interviewer girl in green on ABC, STFU.

That's Wendy McClendon-Covey.  I loved her on Reno 9-1-1 and I understand her trying something new, but I think she's out of her depth here.

Timothee looks like he's in a bad rental. 

I feel bad for laughing but this is so true.

I hope Armie is feeling good enough to be there tonight.

[Neeners]

Yay, L-M! He looks great. 

[galaxygirl76]

The people on E! and me have very different opinions on what looks good.

[Ohwell]

I look at Michael Strahan in a different light ever since I saw him in Magic Mike XXL.  Ahem.

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

Oh god same! At least add a dark border or pattern. Otherwise it’s too close to naked dress, which I’m certain they aren’t going for. 

In other news: LIN!!!!!!

Yes.  The hour before the actual start of the Oscars is red carpet exclusive to ABC.

The only one on E! I ever agreed with was Joan.  RIP, Joan, I miss your snark!

[aradia22]

Is JLaw still with Dior? That dress has weird lines. It chops up her body and makes her look shorter. 

Greta Gerwig. Flattering cut and color. Not sure about all the paillettes? It's unclear what they are in the photo I'm looking at. 

I finally found Jennifer Garner. I like it. I don't think it's as sexy as you guys made it out to be. But she looks fantastic and that's a great cobalt. I'm not sure about that fabric winding around the bodice and down her back. I feel like there was another way to get there. 

Hair is pretty simple on the whole. Lots of classic soft waves and boring updos. I feel like the WOC are the only ones bringing some variety.

[Amethyst]

Ugh, is Saorse wearing a tea length dress?

Did they interview anyone from Black Panther yet?

Oh, Nicole.  Those things on your hips...

On Deadline (I think) they said E! was considering using a delay in case anyone mentioned the accusations against Seacrest.

I saw something online, I think in my social media, that said Ryan would be interviewing celebrities specifically chosen for him (as in "Ryan friendly", I guess). That was an option discussed in the last few days.

[NowVoyager]

Allison Janney for best dressed! From what I've seen. Stunning! Just stunning! The hair, the makeup, the skin, the jewels, the fit of the dress, the color! Those sleeves might be awkward throughout the night, but who cares! Werk it out!

[Browncoat]

Is it just the lighting, or does Greta's skin kind of match her dress?

[scarynikki12]

I loved Lady Bird so I’m delighted to see Greta. 

[aradia22]

If you're not looking at the Vulture page, Andra Day is bringing it. She's lounging on the ground like a queen. For a second I thought she was Rihanna. Unsure about the dress because I'm so mesmerized by this pose and her confidence. WORK!

[sally-can-wait]

I love seeing these first time nominees like Greta, Timothée, and Kumail and Emily. They have such a joy about just being there. I'm a sap and it warms my heart!

[Browncoat]

That video of Gary Oldman as Churchill dancing has me rolling!  Hilarious!

[Cupcake04]

where the eff is Laurie Metcalf?

Strahan interviewed Chadwick about 40 minutes ago.

Rihanna was my first thought, too.  Definitely see her wearing that, especially the hair.

[scarynikki12]

Mahershala! Love seeing him again.

[Wings]

I missed Emily, I am flipping.  I even backed up both channels!

She looks great, but she also reminds me of the cover of some  bodice-ripper book.  Hee!

I loved it too!  

[aradia22]

Meryl looks good. Lots of people going for the low necklines. I think it's a bit unfocused now that it isn't following that 70's trend. 

Yessss Lupita. Danai looks simple but beautiful.

Meh on Emma Stone. It's a look that almost works. But I would remove the pink sash and change the fabric for the jacket or the pants. It's too much shine on shine. Also it could use a necklace or a top inside... just something to create visual interest aside from the lack of cleavage. Your attention should go to that area or to her face and yet it keeps getting drawn down to the pink bow. 

[chitowngirl]

Nicole Kidman’s wearing color! And Meryl looks good too! I don’t like the straight hair parted down the middle look on Sandra. Don’t really like it on anyone!

i love Sandra and Nicole just chatting with each other!

[NowVoyager]

Nicole Kidman looked amazing!!! She's not nominated for anything though, is she?

Queen Lupita made me holler!!!

Edited March 5, 2018 by NowVoyager

[Apprentice79]

Lupita is just stunning...Wow! Danai as well... Wakanda forever!

Edited March 5, 2018 by Apprentice79

[sally-can-wait]

Adam Rippon is there? WTF?

[Neeners]

Sandra looks like Cher.

[Browncoat]

Sandra Bullock is looking very shiny.

[Amethyst]

It’s the Practical Magic reunion I always wanted!

[Thumper]

Nicole Kidman sneaking up on Sandra Bullock's interview -- cute.

nicole's dress looks stiff and uncomfortable.

[scarynikki12]

Nicole sneaking up on Sandra and Sandra pretending to be mad was funny. They need to make another movie.

Is he with Sally Field's son?

[Fostersmom]

Nicole's dress looks like it's snapped on to her, it's fitting very weirdly. 

[Browncoat]

WTF with the bow/peplum thing on Nicole's dress?

[Calvada]

Who is more plastic looking - Sandra Bullock or Nicole Kidman?  Usually Nicole wins hands down, but tonight it's Sandra Bullock.  Yikes.

[ProudMary]

LOL
He's there with Mirai Nagasu.

[ABay]

Cat on lap. Can't type.

[aradia22]

Loving Sandra Bullock. Maybe she's just covering more skin but she looks healthier and not so thin. 

Does Sally Hawkins dress look better under indoor lighting? Because I am underwhelmed. 

Love Gal Gadot's makeup. Don't love the dress. What is with these designers breaking up the body? Enough with ombre and bed skirts. It looks like you ran out of fabric and I hate it. We finally killed the high/low thing. 

[sally-can-wait]

No one from Three Billboards was interviewed correct? That's weird considering it's such a contender. (I personally hope it wins nothing).

[aradia22]

[scarynikki12]

Huh, newsreel opening. Interesting. 

[wallflower75]

And here we go...I may be lagging a bit behind as I'm trying to finish billing notes for work...

[Browncoat]

Heh, Armie was born when a witch put a curse on a Ken doll.

[sally-can-wait]

I'm pretty sure that's Kimmel doing the narration.

[scarynikki12]

Heh Salma’s a good sport.
