The Annual Academy Awards - General Discussion

[ShadowHunter]

I made out most of what Al Pacino was saying in the interview lol.

[Catgyrl]

Why does Ryan S. feel the need to speak to Salma Hayek with a hispanic-is accent? Just because he's speaking about Antonio Banderas? LOL

It's early.

Arrrgh, my sympathies for the prep!  Hope all goes well tomorrow.

Thanks.  In a macabre way it seems an entirely appropriate way to spend Oscar Night...

If Al hates it so much, he doesn't have to go. If he is going to go, would it kill him to stop at a 7/11 and pick up a comb?

Would it kill Billie Eilish to wear something other than pajamas and whatever those shoes were?

I mean.. these are the moments and looks that make the red carpet interesting!  lol

[Browncoat]

I had no idea ScarJo had a giant back tattoo.

[Fostersmom]

Natalie Portman looks like the grim reaper

Salma, you must have enough cash to pay for the other sleeve?

I think she looks very nice, I just hate the one-sleeve thing.

Renee Zelleweger has the other sleeve.

James Corden and Rebel Wilson are presenting together? The Cats jokes are on high alert.

it’s 2019’s Internet Boyfriend Keanu Reeves and his mama who looks stunning. 

 

 

[Neeners]

I think Regina's dress would look better without that strap.

[ShadowHunter]

Sam Mendes was cut off. 

Keanu Reeves Most Triumphant!

I know I did, however it's because I'm T-Minus 40 minutes from beginning prep for a colonoscopy tomorrow afternoon.

Good luck to you - I did the same for last years Oscars. 

I'm still watching though I think most of the winners are a foregone conclusion.  I'd love love love to see Parasite take best picture or some other big surprise, but I suppose that's too much to hope for.   I'm enjoying everybody's play by play here with the outfits, since Mr Malotte gets to watch drag racing til the Oscar show begins. 

[ABay]

Keanu also lost his comb.

Al Pacino probably hates attending these sorts of events.  He just wants to be done with it.

Agreed. He tends to make more of an effort when he goes to the Tonys but I think that's just because he's such a theater nerd rather than liking it any better.

Ouch.

[TVFan17]

I don't think I've ever seen Mama Keanu Reeves before!

[kittykat]

I don't hate Maya Rudolph"s look.  The color, hair and shape is...kind of fitting for her.  It's not great but for her it works.  Definitely one of her least objectionable looks.

Keanu must be taking Paul Rudd level anti aging cream.  He just looks so fine 

[Catgyrl]

Okay, was I the only one (other than Rebel Wilson) who did a double-take when James said "Here's Keanu reeves and his mum!" I didn't see who he was with at first, but was thinking "Uh, if he's with his mature-looking girlfriend, that's kinda awkward."

Saorsie’s dress would be a lot better without the ruffle. At least she has a built in serving tray.

[Browncoat]

Oh, I was hoping the black cape on Natalie was just temporary to get her from the car to the tent.  Her outfit would look better without it.

Brad, looking hot as always.

I really don't like Saoirse's peplum dress, and I'm unimpressed by Cynthia Erivo's dress.

Ouch.

That actually WAS his mother. LOL

[ShadowHunter]

Natalie Portman don't care for her dress. 

Brie Larson looks good.

Ouch.

Why? It’s not his girlfriend (who admittedly looks a bit similar.)

[Growsonwalls]

Saoirse Ronan's dress looks like it has a built in baby bump. 

[Browncoat]

Ugh, Rooney Mara's dress.

Agree. It looks wrong.

[Neeners]

Damn, I thought it was his girlfriend, too. Heh. I've only seen a picture of her once, though. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

[Shannon L.]

Boy, Rooney Mara looks like she hates having her picture taken. 

I hate Saoirse's dress, but did I just hear that it was another sustainable one? If so, kudos. 

Cynthia Erivo! That's a statement dress!

Edited February 10, 2020 by Shannon L.

[kittykat]

Eh not feeling Saoirse's dress.  I'd probably like it more without the awkward ruffle.

I will say this is probably one of the least boring red carpets we've had in the last few years

I had to hit up Google for a pic. Mom's way more beautiful, IMO.

[vb68]

Saorise Ronan looks so grown up.  I always think of her as a kid.

Ryan Seacrest has made the magic jump from E! to ABC now.

[Was-MArsenault]

I hope that Joaquin and Renee win tonight.

And that statement is "I need to fire my stylist."

Perhaps we can start a trend. The Academy Awards & Miralax...

James Corden fan-boyed all over Keanu’s mum!

[Fostersmom]

Is Rene really claiming she didn't know what struggles Judy had in life? How is that humanly possible, especially as an actress? 

[Growsonwalls]

Renee Zellwegger seems like such a nice pleasant person. I wish I enjoyed Judy more.

[Chit Chat]

All I can say is, damn, what a bunch of fugly dresses a bunch of these folks are wearing!  

[Amethyst]

Ow, Saoirse.  That peplum does look like it has its own tray.  The skirt is so pretty, but it looks like it belongs on a totally different dress.  

[vb68]

I have actually wondered if Brad Pitt was bringing his Mom tonight. He made a joke about it at the Golden Globes.

[Browncoat]

I really dislike Cynthia Erivo's dress.  The more I see it, the more I dislike it.

[kittykat]

Like the color on Florence's dress.  Natalie Portman kind of looks like a Star Wars elder.

Joaquin gonna Joaquin.

[Eureka]

Maya's eye shadow is almost as bad as her dress

 

Her dresses are always awful.

[Fostersmom]

Cynthia's dress isn't bad, it's all the extras. Too much nails, too much jewelry, too much lash. 

[kib]

Oddly enough Renée Zellweger's eyebrows never moved once during that interview.

THAT'S SOME ACTING!

[TVFan17]

It's not that I dislike Renee Zellweger's dress -- it's not bad -- but I kind of think her overall look is more subdued and understated than I would expect for the Oscars.

Edited February 10, 2020 by TVFan17

[Browncoat]

Margot Robbie's dress would be good without the arm things.  They aren't sleeves, exactly -- they aren't attached to the dress.

 

Good lord, what is wearing Kristin Wiig?

[Fostersmom]

And Kristin Wiig might be the worst dressed

Same. The white is nice but again the extra stuff on the dress ruined it. This has been happening a lot tonight. 

[Neeners]

Oh my Kristen Wiig.
