JEZEBEL – Here’s every 2019 Oscars look, from Billy Porter going neo-Neo-from-the-Matrix to Linda Cardellini’s show-stopper to Charlize Theron’s “dark nun” and all the rest of them. Literally, it’s every single celeb who appeared during the ceremony and a few who didn’t
CELEBITCHY – Spike Lee’s reaction when Green Book was announced as the Best Picture winner sums up everything you need to know about Green Book
DLISTED – In happier news, Olivia Coleman was the upset winner for Best Actress for The Favourite, and her charmingly befuddled off-the-cuff speech will hopefully go down as this year’s Oscars highlight
LAINEY GOSSIP – Back to less happy news: Despite being the favorite in the Best Actress category heading into the ceremony and dressing like a golden Oscars statue, Glenn Close was denied the actual award. It was Close’s fourth Best Actress nomination and seventh Academy Award nomination overall; she’s still not won either
VOX – I didn’t notice the necklace Lady Gaga wore during her performance of “Shallow” alongside Bradley Cooper, but apparently it’s anchored by a 141-year-old, 128.54-carat yellow diamond worth $30 million and made iconic by Audrey Hepburn during a photo shoot for Breakfast at Tiffany’s. This is what’s referred to as a “Hollywood rabbit’s foot”
THE BLAST – Rami Malek fell off the stage after concluding his speech following his Best Actor win for Bohemian Rhapsody
THE BLEMISH – Finally, in 2020 Oscars news, the 2019 ceremony was the launch of the official trailer for The Irishman. It’s a mafia movie featuring a dream orgy of fading mafia movie superheroes: The Irishman stars Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, and Harvey Keitel, and it was directed by Martin Scorsese. I feel like this will be the movie equivalent of the 2004 Lakers, but I’m happy to be wrong!
REALITY TEA – In non-Oscars news, Real Housewives of Orange County star Gina Kirschenheiter has been officially charged with a DUI for her February 15th arrest
THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – The Bachelorette would have been a step down for Khloe anyway
