8:00 pm
Host: Jarrod Carmichael
On a Tuesday this year due to the NFL schedule.
I first watched E! on the red carpet. Laverne Cox was wearing a blue John Galliano dress with sequin designs. She looked great, but I think I would have loved the dress more without the sequins. Loni Love is wearing a terrible lilac Galliano dress. It is just so wrong in so many ways. The color, the tulle train, the neck line, the hair. It looks cheap. All wrong. One of my worst dressed of the night.
8:00 pm: The host is a comedian named Jarrod Carmichael. I have no idea who he is but he better be funny.
8:10 pm: Ok, that opening monologue was one of the angriest and most boring things I've ever heard. He literally sat on the stage. Where is Amy Poehler and Tina Fey?? Where is Ricky Gervais? Now they are all funny. This guy is terrible. Along with giving Eddie Murphy the Cecil B. DeMille award tonight they might as well have let him host!
8:12 pm: Jennifer Hudson is wearing a beautiful gold C.D. Greene dress. The pattern is very interesting, like little blocks of gold. Actor Ke Huy Quan (or as we remember him as "Short Round" from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Goonies.) wins Best Supporting Actor for "Everything Everywhere All At Once." I'm glad he finally won after being in the business for decades. Speech is very touching.
8:15 pm: Angela Bassett looks stunning in a silver, sleeveless, turtle neck dress by Pamella Roland. One of my best dressed for the night. She won Best Supporting Actress for her role in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
8:20 pm: I'm not in love with Lily James' red Atelier Versace dress. I wish it was one big skirt rather than her legs in a sleeping bag, wrapped in a comforter.
8:25 pm: Loving Eddie Redmayne's subtle rose accented suit.
8:28 pm: Jennifer Coolidge looks great in a Black, long sleeved, off the shoulder dress by Dolce and Gabbana. One of my best dressed for the night. She's a presenter tonight, she's trying to act all ditzy. She's cute but the speech rambles on too long. Tyler James Williams wins for Best Supporting Actor in a comedy TV series. I hate this blue wide legged Amiri suit he has one. He looks like a broke pimp. One of my worst dressed of the night.
8:30 pm: Jessica Chastain's Oscar de la Renta dress looks like a giant spider web. Better suited for Halloween.
8:35 pm: Jenna Ortega looks amazing in a beige Gucci dress that crisscrosses fabric at the waist. One of my best dressed of the night. Best Original Score goes to "Babylon". Best Original Song goes to "Naatu Naatu".
8:40 pm: I don't love Margot Robbie's pink, fringed Chanel dress. It's a cross between flapper and figure skater.
8:45 pm: Viola Davis looks smoking hot in a nicely draped blue Jason Wu dress.
8:47 pm: Niecy Nash-Betts looks amazing in a beautiful rich purple colored Dolce and Gabbana dress. It's accented with beautiful purple gems. I usually despise gloves, but love these. Jeremy Allen White wins Best Actor in a comedy series for "The Bear".
8:50 pm: Quinta Brunson wins Best Actress in a Comedy series for "Abbott Elementary". I really don't like her black and pink ruffled Christian Siriano dress.
8:55 pm: not feeling Ana de Armas' black and white lace Louis Vuitton dress. It looks like she glued a table runner on the front of her dress. Colin Farrell wins Best Actor in a Comedy film for "The Banshees of Inisherin". Man, his guy does not age. He is as handsome as ever.
9:00 pm: Kaley Cuoco is pregnant and looks stunning in a pale purple Vera Wang gown.
9:05 pm: I do not love Michelle Yeoh navy two tiered plastic looking Armani Price dress. She wins Best Actress for her role in the a comedy film "Everything Everywhere All at Once."
9:15pm: Clare Danes looks like a hot mess in a Giambattista gown. The pink bow at the chest, the old lady blanket print, the sequins and fringe. Too much. One of the worst dressed of the night. Guillermo del Toro wins Best Animated Film for "Pinocchio".
9:17 pm: I hate this orange and white Prada dress Letitia Wright is wearing. It looks like a roll of paper towels used to wipe up spilled orange juice. One of my worst dressed of the night. Austin Butler wins Best Actor in a Drama film for "Elvis". He is quite handsome.
9:25 pm: the Host makes a dumb joke about Tom Cruise and it falls flat. Was this his first attempt at humor tonight???
9:26 pm: Zendaya wins Best Actress in a Drama Series for "Euphoria". She is absent.
9:28 pm: Julia Garner wins Best Supporting Actress in a TV series Drama for "Ozark". I don't love this pink Gucci ruffled dress. I'm having flashbacks of Paltrow at the 1999 Oscars.
9:30 pm: Sigourney Weaver looks nice in a simple Saint Laurent black dress.
9:35 pm: Billy Porter looks elegant is this velvet hot pink suit by Christian Siriano. The train is huge. He presents Ryan Murphy with the Carol Burnett Award for his career in television. Man, this guy has done a lot. I have loved so many of his works especially American Horror Story, Dahmer, and Feud. Congrats to him.
9:45 pm: I don't like Anya Taylor-Joy's very yellow Christian Dior dress. I hate the color but most I wish that it wasn't looking like a two piece bikini with a sarong.
9:53 pm: Henry Golding looks dapper as always. Best Actress in a Drama film goes to Cate Blanchett for "Tar". Unfortunately that talented beauty was also absent.
9:55 pm: Best Foreign Film goes to "Argentina, 1985".
10:00 pm: Sean Penn comes out and introduces the president of Ukraine.??? why? Again, this has NOTHING to do with the art of film. Stop mixing politics into every single thing. People watch movies as a hobby, as a way to escape reality, we don't need to see politicians during an award show. Is the President of Ukraine also going to appear at the Super Bowl?? or at my niece's dance recital?? This is nonsense. This show is aired all over the world and when they bring politics into the film award shows it divides the audience. This is why viewership is way down. The host is NOT funny and they always manipulate politics into it some way. These award shows never learn from their previous mistakes.
10:06 pm: Hilary Swank is pregnant and is wearing a very underwhelming green Prada dress. Best Screenplay for a Motion Picture goes to Martin McDonagh for "The Banshees of Inisherin".
10:09 pm: Wowza, Colman Domingo looking mighty fine in a sharp, satin and sequined Dolce and Gabbana tapered suit. Steven Spielberg win best director for "The Fabelmans". Very nice speech.
10:12 pm: Yikes! Jenny Slate's green silk Rodarte dress with flower a chest is horrible. She not wearing a bra which is very obvious. Her hair is a hot mess too. One of my worst dressed of the night.
10:18 pm: Nicole Byer's hair and black sequin Christian Siriano dress are a bit too much. Ana Gasteyer blue ombre dress is very loud, better on the beach with a margarita in hand. However, they are much funnier than the Host. Best Supporting Actor in a Mini-series goes to Paul Walter Hauser for "Black Bird". I love him, he is unsung!
10:20 pm: There are way too many ruffles on Michelle Williams' eggshell colored Gucci dress.
10:23 pm: Best Supporting Actress in a mini-series goes to Jennifer Coolidge for "The White Lotus". She's so excited. Again love the black sequin dress.
10:30 pm: I don't love Selena Gomez's black Valentino dress with the giant puffy purple sleeves.
10:33 pm: Best Actress in a Mini-series goes to Amanda Seyfried for "The Dropout". She is absent.
Man, a lot of people did not attend and I don't think it is just due to the bad flooding in L.A.
10:35 pm: Best Actor in a Mini-series goes to Evan Peters for "Dahmer". Very well deserved. So creepy.
10:37 pm: Michaela Jae Rodriguez's Balmain dress looks like a giant blue bow you'd put on a new car. Best Mini-Series goes to "The White Lotus". Director Mike White is happily hdrunk.
10:40 pm: Adam Scott is a funny guy but this Irish looking green suit with a bowler tie by Paul Smith is no laughing matter. Yikes!
10:43 pm: Tracy Morgan and Jamie Lee Curtis present Eddie Murphy with the Cecil B. DeMille award for his contribution to the art of film. Jamie looks great in a simple Safiyaa black dress with a lace cape. Tracy was a little funny. Oh, Eddie....I'm over the "Will Smith" jokes. My favorite Eddie Murphy movies are Beverly Hills Cop, Beverly Hills Cop II, Life, The Nutty Professor, Trading Spaces, and Coming to America.
10:50 pm: Heidi Klum's silver sequined and pink feathered mini dress by Kevin Germanier is not appropriate whatsoever for this award show. Or a P.T.A. meeting.
10:58 pm: Regina Hall looks hot in a black leather dress by Monique Lhullier. Best Actor in a Drama TV series goes to Kevin Costner for "Yellowstone". He also is absent. Poor baby, he was suck in his mansion in Santa Barbara due to the rain and flooding.
Going into Over time....
11:00 pm: Best Comedy TV series goes to "Abbott Elementary"
11:02 pm: Not loving Natasha Lyonne's Givenchy black dress. I like the red hair but not the style. It should have all been let down. "House of the Dragon" wins Best Drama TV series. I have yet to watch it.
11:08 pm: the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press comes out to make a speech about change and rectifying their previous errors. I love how she comes out so late, after everyone in the audience is good and liquored up.
11:12 pm: Selma Hayek's nude, sequined Gucci dress would have been beautiful but for the out of place black spaghetti straps. Best Comedy Film goes to "The Banshees of Inisherin". Very good film, but I cried a lot..so I don't know how much of a comedy it was.
11:14 pm: Kerry Condon looks stunning in a simple black off the shoulder Brandon Maxwell dress.
11:16 pm: Quentin Tarantino presents the Best Drama Film to Steven Spielberg for "The Fabelmans".
11:20 pm: End of Show...... a lot of good films and series. Wish the Host was funnier.

WORST DRESSED: Claire Danes.
