91st Academy Awards
8:00 pm
No Host
8:00 pm: Queen opens in honor of the Freddy Mercury biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody". I have to say I was underwhelmed. They only sang "We Will Rock You" and "We are the Champions". I thought they'd sing more. Also Adam Lambert replaced Freddie Mercury and the truth is... he sounds NOTHING like him. So no thank you. The set design is not so pretty. I hate the white icing on the edge of the stage.
I'm also underwhelmed by Adam Lambert's Tom Ford tux on the red carpet. It was just a regular boring tux with large white cuff. Even Spike Lee wore something more outrageous than that.
8:06 pm: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Maya Rudolph come out on stage. Tina Fey is wearing a beautiful royal blue dress. I love the fit. She looks so regal. The hair, the simple make-up and simple jewelry. Perfection. One of my Best Dressed. Amy Poehler is wearing a cool tuxedo with sloppy hair and make-up, she looks hip. Now Maya Rudolph is wearing the worst pink floral dress with a cape. It's designed by Giambattista Valli. It looks curtains from the 70s. One of my worst dressed. They do a cute skit. They mock how this year has no host. They present the award for Best Supporting actress to Regina King who has been in the business forever and this is her first win for "If Beale Street Could Talk". She is wearing a stunning white Oscar de la Renta dress.
Lady Gaga has a wild black Alexander McQueen dress. One of my best dressed. It has these very wide, structured hips. She has on fancy black leather gloves, a huge diamond necklace last worn by Audrey Hepburn. Her white hair and make-up are beautiful.
8:14 pm: Jason Momoa and Helen Mirren are both wearing pink. I don't like either outfit. He's wearing a velvet fitted Fendi tux. Her pink Schiaparelli would be nicer in a more mature color. They present for best documentary. The award goes to "Free Solo". The winner's dress is looks extremely see through.
8:25 pm: Every other category had 5 nominees and for some ridiculous reason makeup had 3 which is extremely insulting. It's an honor just to be nominated and to have that on someone's resume could change lives so why deny anyone that? Not cool academy. "Vice" wins.
Lucy Boynton is wearing a very vibrant purple Rodarte dress with black trim. The off the shoulders and cut looks very Victorian. Very pretty. One of my best dressed.
8:28pm: Melissa McCarthy and Brian Tyree Henry present best costume design in full blown Victorian costumes with tons of toy rabbits. Ruth Carter wins for "Black Panther". Her dress is brown and blue .
Melissa McCarthy's outfit had potential but it was just not well tailored. Its a Brandon Maxwell tux with a white cape. the top it too tight and the waist line is too high and the pants are too wide. I don't love her hair or make-up either. Oh Well.
8:38 pm: Jennifer Lopez is in an amazing mirror dress by Tom Ford and Chris Evans looks very handsome in a blue velvet tux. Production design goes to "Black Panther."
Emma Stone is wearing a horrible Louis Vuitton gold dress. It has pointy structured shoulders and a bee hive textured print. Hate it. One of my worst dressed.
8:44 pm: Tyler Perry presents best cinematography to "Roma", rightly so cause the camera angles were breathtaking.
Glenn Close is wearing a huge gold Carolina Herrera dress. It has a very long train. I heard it had like a million crystal sequins sewn on and weighted close to 50 lbs. Its is very nice but I wish it was a tighter fit. She has such a slender body and she is being swallowed by this heavy dress. It looks more like a graduation gown.
8:46 pm: First song performed is from the documentary RBG. "Our fight" sung by Jennifer Hudson. She is wearing a sexy Pamella Roland tuxedo with a big belt and long train. Props for keeping off the weight for so many years. She looks amazing.
Jennifer Hudson looks great in a tight one sleeved Reem Acra red dress.
8:55 pm: Danai Gurira from "Black Panther" looks nice in her gold Brock dress. Sound Editing goes to "Bohemian Rhapsody". Sound Mixing goes to "Bohemian Rhapsody."
Amy Adams is wearing a simple and forgettable Atelier Versace white and silver dress.
9:05 pm: Angela Basset doesn't age. She's wearing a pink Reem Acra dress. She presents with Javier Bardem Best Foreign Language film to "Roma". Well deserved that was quite the movie. gut wrenching. Congrats to director Alfonso Cuaron.
First time actress Yalitza Aparicio from "Roma" looks lovely in this one shoulder mint green Rodarte dress.
9:08 pm: Keegan-Michael Key floats down from the sky holding an open umbrella. He presents the second song of the night "Where Lost Things Go" from "Mary Poppins Returns" Performed by Bette Midler. Her flower dress is terrible. Its ugly primary colored daisies. It's see through and is wearing a big blue girdle underneath. Its straight off the Marc Jacob's runway but even the 20 year old model looks terrible in it. Yuck! this is one of my worst dressed.
9:17 pm: Michael Keaton presents for film editing to "Bohemian Rhapsody"
9:21 pm: Charlize Theron wearing another boring Dior dress. I hate this whole outfit, the light blue longed sleeved dress, the heavy jewelry, the orange lip stick and especially the dark hair. Some people look great as brunettes, its a rare look in Hollywood but she absolutely needs to stay blond. Daniel Craig looks handsome. Best supporting actor goes to Mahershala Ali for "Green Book". This is 2 for 2 for him, congrats. I don't get the hat though, to me this is inappropriate for a black-tie affair.
9:30 pm: Michelle Yeoh from "Crazy Rich Asians" looks so elegant in this beautiful silver sequined and nude colored Elie Saab dress. Pharrell always takes fashion risks but I don't like the short pants camouflage tux. Best animated film goes to "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse".
9:33 pm: Third song performed tonight is "When a Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings" from the Coen Brothers film "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs". Sung by David Rawlings and Gillian Welch. They are dressed to the nines in cowboy garb. I love this song. simple and beautiful.
Kelly Ripa's silver and tiny black flower printed Christian Siriano dress is a bit juvenile. Man, Siriano was busy this award season. Watch the new season of Project Runaway on Bravo! He's replacing Tim Gunn.
9:41 pm: A "Wayne's World" reunion. A heavier Mike Myers and older Dana Carvey present nominated film "Bohemian Rhapsody".
9:46 pm: Awkwafina and John Mulaney come out to present Best Documentary short film. Her hair is too long and swallows her face. Don't love her Dsquared2 metallic lilac suit. His floral Pal Zileri tux jacket is a bit nutty. "Period. End of Sentence." wins.
Queen Latifah's black sequin Michael Costello dress is a bit too tight and not very flattering. It looks like she's wrapped in duct tape.
9:55 pm: Sarah Paulson's pink Brandon Maxwell dress is horrendous. One of my worst dressed. I don't get the style at all. I hate when a woman slicks her hair down super tight. It looks awful. Even on pretty woman, it just looks so unflattering. I hated when Gwyneth Paltrow did it at the 1998 Oscars, I still hate it. Special effects goes to "First Man" That movie's only award for the night. That was a pretty good movie unfortunately it didn't get much press.
Marina de Tavira from "Roma" is wearing a red frilly J. Mandel dress.
10:00 pm: Without announcing it, the fourth song of the night is "The Shallows" from "A Star is Born". Perform by the multi-talented Lady Gaga and the male star of the movie Bradley Cooper. Fabulous performance, obviously this song is going to win. The fifth song nominated tonight is "All the Stars" from "Black Panther". Unfortunately, Kendrick Lamar can not perform it due to scheduling issues.
Rachel Weisz is one of my worst dressed with this ridiculously red Givenchy dress. Its has a wide rubber crop top and a red bottom. and it's not a deep red, its a loud tacky red. brrr so ugly.
10:09 pm: Samuel L. Jackson and Brie Larson in a sexy silver Celine dress present for Best Original Screenplay. "Greenbook" wins. Writing is such a huge award I think it deserves new presenters but Best Adapted Screenplay gets the same presenters, whatever. The winner goes to Spike Lee for "BlacKkKlansman". Lee wins for the first time. He is so excited he leaps into Jackson's arms. He is in an all purple Oswald Boateng suit. In memory of his close friend he wears a Prince "symbol" necklace.
I love Sting's wife, Trudie Styler's white dress with a peak of silver down the chest. I reminds me of Jamie Lee Curtis's Golden Globe dress.
10:22 pm: Michael B. Jordan looks quite handsome. I don't love the lower half of Tessa Thompson's black and gold Chanel dress. I wish it was free flowing and not straps. Best Score goes to "Black Panther".
Billy Porter shocks us again by wearing a tux on top and a huge velvet skirt on the bottom. My goodness it looks expensive. Beautifully made by Christian Siriano.
10:25 pm: Chadwick Boseman has on a sparkly black tux jacket by Givenchy and Constance Wu has a very pretty yellow Versace dress. They present Best Song to Lady Gaga and Mark Ronson for "The Shallows" from "A Star is Born"
Octavia Spencer looks amazing in this super elegant off the shoulder navy dress. Christian Siriano dressed her again this year and again she looks stellar. One of my best dressed.
10:30 pm: The most depressing part of the show is the "In Memoriam" .. such talent lost... Neil Simon, Burt Reynolds, Penny Marshall, Stan Lee, William Goldman, James Karen, and Albert Finney.
10:39 pm: Cicely Tyson receives an Honorary Oscar for her achievement in film.
10:42 pm: Allison Janney dress looks nice but I don't love the fabric in front, look like an apron. It's a black Pamela Roland tuxedo dress. Lots of pink and gender neutral outfits this year. She towers over Gary Oldman. Actor in a Leading Role goes to Rami Malek for "Bohemian Rhapsody". Well deserved, he could feel he poured his soul into that role. Very moving speak.
Emilia Clarke looks pretty in a nice lavender strapless Balmain gown.
10:56 pm: Beautiful Francis McDormand again wears zero make-up to the Oscars. She wears a hot pink Valentino dress with yellow suede Valentino Birkenstocks. Love it, what a rebel!! and Sam Rockwell shaved his hair to play the role of Bob Fosse. They present Best Actress to Olivia Colman for her role in "The Favourite". I really hate this Prada dress. The green color plus this bazaar gray wrap around the shoulders. Love her speeches, they are so scatterbrained but so genuine.
11:06 pm: Best Director goes to Alfonso Cuaron. Deservingly so, "Roma" was a phenomenal film.
11:13 pm: Julia Roberts looks amazingly young and sexy in hot pink one shoulder Elie Saab dress. One of my best dressed. Best Picture goes to "Greenbook". I have to say I'm quite surprised, I really thought "Roma" had it in the bag.
THE END. good show.
