Oscars Commentary 2019: For better or worse…

If I must, I suppose I must

Slay, Billy Porter, slay.

Regina King is a goddess who knows how to drape it.

Melissa McCarthy, proving me wrong in that not everyone should wear a cape at least once in their lifetime. Looks like a shower cap on her shoulders.

Mark Ronson is wearing just enough chicness to set a tux apart from the pack.

Linda Cardellini belongs on Fraggle Rock, and that’s not an insult.

Henry Golding’s outfit is as elegant as his accent.

Diane Warren – bringing back the dickie. No. God no.

I want Michelle Yeoh to be my fairy godmother.

Kasey Musgraves – what’s wrong? Couldn’t get Glinda’s bubble and wand too? (That said, I adore it. Oh wait, just saw it again. Nope. Give it back to Glinda.)

Apologies to Awkwafina: I think Glenn Close did this better yesterday.

Gemma Chan – I am here for this color, but why the shower curtain ruching?

James McAvoy – A black tux. For the Oscars. Groundbreaking. {Just take it off.}

Glenn Close – Restoring my faith in the cape. Take a lesson Melissa McCarthy.

Angela Basset – I’m questioning my sexuality.

Spike Lee – Channeling Prince’s work in Batman.

Jennifer Hudson – A one-shouldered scarlet dream.

Richard E. Grant – The richly-hued tux must match how good he smells.

Jennifer Lewis and Shangela: giving me life. Operation ‘Avenge the Kevin Hart Debacle’ in effect.

Nicholas Hoult – I am here for all of it, whatever the wrap is going on. (It’s actually a Dior tux, and it’s glorious.)

Is Sam Rockwell playing Lex Luthor for something?

Amy Adams always looks so friendly and approachable. Not sure I want that on this night. I want glamorously intimidating and elegantly terrifying.

Jason Momoa – Bohemian black tie sans tie. It works with the hair, even if the fit is just slightly off. (He still looks better naked,)

Charlize Theron – Joan Crawford will rise from the dead to get her shoulders back. 

Rami Malek – Another black tux. What more is there to say? Take it off?

Sam Elliott – matching the hair to the shirt. Well-played, sir. 

Jennifer Lopez, please don’t cut yourself on any of that! (PS – I’ll take it when you’re done. Thank you, Tom Ford.) 

Bradley Cooper – Whoa! The magenta sequins and ostrich feathers are over the top! Just kidding. Just another black tux.

Emma Stone – I’m torn. Need to see it closer…

Lady Gaga – The jewelry is magnificent. The McQueen is the color of 90% of the tuxes. The effect is largely that of this year’s Academy Awards: underwhelming. 

I love Maya Rudolph so much that I will refrain from commenting on that… dress.

Tonight Rachel Weisz comes complete with a cherry-red baby-proof bib. Not sure why.

Chris Evans is such a gentleman, and that jacket is divine.  

Waiting for Bette Midler to save another Awards show… in 3, 2, 1. 

Camo for the Academy Awards? Interesting choice. Not as successful as this one, sorry Pharrell Williams. 

Melissa McCarthy’s bunny just won the Oscars. {Careful with those rabbits, Glenn Close is in the FRONT ROW.}

Nope, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s performance just won the evening. Classy. Elegant. Moving. 

Spike Lee & Barbra Streisand: Best Couple of the Oscars. #hats 

Glenn Close was robbed. Our country can’t elect anyone anymore. 

Julia Roberts is pretty in pink, even with those fish skeleton earrings.
