90th Ceremony
8:00 pm
Host: Jimmy Kimmel
8 pm: Opening Monologue is funny. Of course Harvey Weinstein is mentioned and how he was kicked out of the academy. Jimmy offers a jet ski to whoever has the shortest acceptance speech.
Meryl Streep nominated tonight for "The Post" making it her 21st time. Looking stunning in a simple red Dior dress.
WOW! Whoopi Goldberg's Christian Siriano green and purple floral dress is god awful.. It is so loud on the red carpet. It's too much print and too much fabric. One of worst dressed ever.
8:15 pm: Viola Davis is wearing a very loud Michael Kors hot pink dress. The top half of her hair is pulled back so tight she looks bald. hate it. Sam Rockwell wins for Best Supporting Actor in "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri". Well deserved. very funny speech. He thanks anyone that has ever "looked" at a billboard. ha. Dedicates award to Philip Seymour Hoffman. ( by the way, he is wearing cufflinks with his long time love, Leslie Bibb's name on them.)
Emily Blunt's pale blue lace Schiaparelli dress is too ancient looking. Something for the series "Little House on the Prairie". Looks like it should be in a museum.
8:26 pm: Gal Gabot's gold Givenchy dress is super sparkly and gorgeous.
Laurie Metcalf nominated for her first Oscar tonight for "Lady Bird". She looks nice in a simply cut, pale pink Christian Siriano dress.
8:30 pm: 94 year old Eve Marie Saint dressed in Landero presents the award for best costume to "Phantom Thread". She's still beautiful.
Lesley Manville is nominated for her first Oscar tonight for "Phantom Thread." Her Anne Valentine dress looks more like yarn or a shag carpet.
8:40 pm: Greta Gerwig looks nice in a yellow Rodarte gown and Laura Dern in a beautiful white Calvin Klein dress.
Sally Hawkins is wearing a loose fitting Armani dress with big shoulder pads. Wish it was a bit more form fitting. She's nominated for her second time tonight for "The Shape of Water".
8:43 pm: Taraji P. Henson's slit in her black Vera Wang dress is a little too close for comfort to her privates.
Octavia Spencer is back her second year in a row for being nominated. This year for best supporting actress in "The Shape of Water". She is wearing a beautiful green Brandon Maxwell dress.
Timothee Chalamet looks handsome in an all white Berluti tux. Matthew McConaughey is wearing a black Brioni tux with a maroon bow tie. Lin-Manuel Miranda is wearing a blue blazer.
8:55 pm: Great montage of the past 90 years in movies.
Mary J. Blige looks lovely in this classy white Versace dress.
9:08 pm: I don't love Lupita Nyong'o gold and black Versace dress. The beaded sash going across her chest looked like bullets for a mini chain gun.
Screenplay nominee Emily V. Gordon looks fabulous in a gold J. Mandel gown. I love the cut and simplicity of it. One of my Best dressed. She's nominated for her biopic "The Big Sick".
9:22 pm: Rita Morano dress is very ugly, and the skirt is very box-like. Although I heard its the same dress she wore in 1962 to win her Oscar for "West Side Story". Damn! Her body is still amazing at 86! and to still be able to fit into that dress, that's like fitting into your old Prom dress. Best foreign language film "A Fantastic Women"
9:28 pm: Best supporting actress goes to Allison Janney for "I, Tonya". She looks amazing in this red Reem Acra dress. Reminds me of what Julia Roberts wore in "Pretty Woman".
9:41 pm: CoCo wins best animated film.
9:55 pm: Film editing goes to "Dunkirk"
Oh my goodness I really hate this pink boring and badly cut Calvin Klein dress on Saoirse Ronan. What a disaster. It does nothing for her. The haircut is too simple. I'm having flash backs from 1998 when Gwenyth Paltrow wore that horrible pink dress. Such a miss. She is usually spot on with her dresses.
10:06 pm: A Bunch of actors are sneaking into a crowded movie theater to surprise fans. Margot Robbie and Emily Blunt give out candy. Ansel Elgort and Lin-Mauel Miranda shoot a hot dog cannon. Fans are shocked.
10:10 pm: Maya Rudolph walks out holding her shoes. Her Valentino dress is just awful. She has a funny moment but her dress looks like a red Santa sack. Yuck. and its a turtle neck...its like a sweater a grandma forgot to stop knitting and it ran too long.
Adam Rippon's Moschino tux is absolutely ridiculous with those leather straps. Looks like a matching band member that lost his drum.
10:25 pm: Ashley Judd looks amazing in a strapless plum Badgley Mischka dress, Annabella Sciorra looks great in black, and Salma Hayek's lilac Gucci dress is a bit much with all those gold chains. They take this time to address the cause "Times Up".
10:30 pm: Margot Robbie looks nice in a white Chanel dress. Although the shoulder drape looks a bit like Christmas garland. Best adapted screenplay goes to 89 year old James Ivory for "Call Me by Your Name". He is one of the oldest award winners ever.
10:37 pm: Nicole Kidman's blue Armani dress with the huge over sized bow in her lap is quite ugly. Best original screenplay goes to Jordan Peele for "Get Out".
10:42 pm: Sandra Bullock is wearing a gold and black Louis Vuitton dress I am not crazy about. Best Cinematography goes to "Blade Runner: 2049"
11:05: Memorial moment presented by a blue Versace dress wearing Jennifer Gardner. Eddie Vedder sings a Tom Petty song. Remembering Jonathan Demme, John Heard, Martin Landau, Glenne Headly, Roger Moore, Sam Shepard, Don Rickles, Jerry Lewis and more.
11:13 pm: Where did Emma Stone think she was going today? To a job interview? I hate this red Louis Vuitton blazer with the pink bow and black slacks. What a joke. Best Director goes to Guillermo Del Toro for "The Shape of Water". Very heart felt speech. He gets choked up when quoting actor Jimmy Cagney.
11:20 pm: Jane Fonda looks timeless in her white Balmain dress. I love the collar line. So sharp, so sophisticated. Stellar and Helen Mirren looks stunning in this simple Reem Acra blue dress with a huge sapphire necklace. These women don't age!! Best actor goes to Gary Oldman for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in "The Darkest Hour". Endearing speech. says to "put the kettle on".
11:35 pm: Jennifer Lawrence looks stunning in this gold Dior dress. So hot, looks like body armor. Jodie Foster is wearing a classic white suit and is hobbling on stage with crutches. They make a joke that Streep wacked her. Best Actress goes to a well deserved Frances McDormand for "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri". cool speech. She asks all female nominees to stand up with her during her speech. She's wearing a very covered up black and gold dress, possibly Valentino. She wears no make-up and is still one of the most beautiful woman there. Such a breath of fresh air in plastic Hollywood.
11:40 pm: Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway (in the same Esteban Cortazar as last year) get a second chance to present Best Picture after last year's goof. This year's definite winner is "The Shape of Water". Guillermo Del Toro double checks the envelope. He says he will not win the "jet ski" for shortest speech... haha
After running very over time...that's a wrap. I better See you All Next Year. What fun.
P.S. Helen Mirren presented "Phantom Thread" costume designer Mark Bridges with the Jet Ski for the shortest acceptance speech.
