While I didn?t want Demi Moore to win the Oscar, I actually felt sorry for her when Mikey Madison?s name was called for Best Actress. To be fair, I think even Demi knew it was a toss-up in the past two months, Demi and Mikey have been splitting the awards down the middle, with Demi picking up the SAG Award, Golden Globe and Critics Choice, and Mikey winning the BAFTA, Spirit Award and a lot of critics? awards. Demi dressed like a winner though her Armani gown was beautiful and I honestly thought she was going to end up winning, based solely on style vibes. She dressed for success! I like that she went for a very traditional look too.
Felicity Jones also wore Armani she?s gone for very sleek, simple looks throughout the awards season, probably because she was never a favorite in Best Supporting Actress. Which is a shame I remember seeing a movie critic/awards-watcher say, back in December, that people should have put some money behind Felicity?s campaign, because she really did a good job in The Brutalist. It?s true. Still, she?s part of yet another Oscar-winning film and she starred opposite another Oscar-winning lead actor (she did the same in The Theory of Everything).
Raffey Cassidy is the British actress who played Zsfia in The Brutalist. A difficult role, and she hasn?t gotten enough attention for what she did in that film. She ended up getting a lot of attention at the Oscars, just because she was the only woman (I saw) wearing Loewe. And it was a really good Loewe too!

| | Halle Berry in a mirrored Siriano at the Oscars: incredible workmanship and design | | Added 122 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Presenter Halle Berry was such a standout on the red carpet in this intricately designed and fabulously executed Christian Siriano gown featuring thousands of mirrored pieces. I love the sequin mesh sides and the little train. I was just blown away by this gown. Christian Siriano was part of the E! fashion panel and he said it was a career goal to dress Halle for the Oscars. You could tell how proud he was of this look and he should be, it was phenomenal. The only thing Ill say against it is that it flashed on camera and reflected the light in a way I found distracting when she was on stage. I dont know how they could have avoided that. I would watch a two hour documentary on this dress. Her styling is also perfection.
I would have loved to have seen Van Hunt on the red carpet with her but he doesnt need to go to everything and I imagine that these ceremonies can be a drag for plus ones. Sometimes I think about Don Cheadle saying that he feels restrained at the Oscars because he cant talk smack about people when the cameras catch every moment. Thats so relatable to me apart from getting to go to the Oscars.
Presenter and EGOT Whoopi Goldberg wore a custom Siriano liquid water off the runway gown. I like how bold this is, the color and reflective properties of the fabric are such and standout. As a Gen X woman I love seeing Whoopi. She was a staple of my teen years. Whoopi brought her daughter, Alex Martin, as her date.
Performer Queen Latifah was also in Siriano, in a lovely crimson gown with puffy shoulders. Queen Latifah did the Quincy Jones tribute last night and I like that they opened with Ease on Down The Road from The Wiz! That was the first movie I remember seeing in a theater. I was five and I had skipped school that day, but my mom still let me go to the movies.
Speaking of the performances, we had a whole ass tribute to James Bond for some reason. Im thinking Amazon paid for that. My favorite performance was Raye doing Skyfall at the end. She was adorable in her red carpet interview and I will be watching her career. Raye wore Vivienne Westwood and she looked like a bombshell.
Doja Cat was very on brand in leopard print retro Balmain. This was kind of cool looking and weve seen so much worse from her. I kind of loved her performance outfit with the dripping sequins even though it was quite on the nose for Diamonds are Forever.

At the SAG Awards last weekend, Millie Bobby Brown walked her first red carpet as a platinum blonde. I mean, I guess that?s what we?re calling this shade of blonde. No one knows for sure why Millie has changed up her look so dramatically? It could be that she?s just young and experimenting with her appearance. It?s possible that she married a hottie from New Jersey and decided to go full Jersey Girl. MBB?s fans have another theory, that she?s preparing to play Britney Spears in a film adaptation of Britney?s ghost-written memoir, The Woman In Me. I don?t have an answer for this, other than it definitely looks like it?s for a movie, but you never know with Millie. I think she?s still figuring out who she wants to be.
Meanwhile, these are some photos from the Madrid premiere of The Electric State, Anthony and Joe Russo?s latest film. Millie costars with Chris Pratt and a robot. Her husband Jake Bongiovi came to Madrid to support her and they?re a sweet couple. But yeah, that blonde shade does not look any better in these photos. If anything, it looks worse and like she just got her roots done. Millie has access to the best colorists, so who is responsible for THIS?
Meanwhile, people are taking the criticism way too far and Millie has seen some of it. People are saying she looks like a 40-something mob wife (it?s not a lie, but it?s still mean). British Vogue published a piece called ?No One Cares How Old You Think Millie Bobby Brown Looks.? Millie reposted the headline and wrote ?thank you.? Girl, if you?re reading this, get a new colorist.

There?s always an ebb and flow from year to year as to how much people are really paying attention to the awards season. Last year saw a lot of interest and engagement with what was happening because of Oppenheimer and Barbie, and then the prominent (and nonsensical) Oscar snubs for Barbie. Plus, those were the two biggest movies in 2023, so people once again cared about awards when they had actually seen the movies. This year is different a bunch of smaller movies have gotten awards hype, a bunch of downer movies are getting awards, and the California wildfires have changed the award-show timelines. All of which means that it?s a really wacky year and people aren?t paying attention because there?s no consensus film which everyone has seen. Still, I?m enjoying the wackiness, even if I?m afraid that a bunch of terrible films are about to win Oscars. Speaking of, here?s the Hollywood Reporter?s first ?Brutally Honest Oscar Ballot? of the season. This Oscar voter is a man in the short-films branch of AMPAS. Some highlights:
Emilia Perez wasn?t in his top ten: ?I liked Emilia Prez when I watched it but, even before all the sh-t that happened [involving lead actress Karla Sofa Gascn], it wasn?t in my top 10. I?d have preferred to see its spot go to Sing Sing, which was underappreciated; or Juror #2, which I really liked; or The Wild Robot or No Other Land, but you know how most of the Academy treats animated and documentary films ? no respect. I do like musicals, and Wicked was tight.
He loves Anora, The Substance & A Complete Unknown: ?I really liked the performances in A Complete Unknown ? the fact that Timmy [Chalamet] and Monica [Barbaro] were both really singing and playing the guitar was incredible. Anora was great ? the story and the performances were really fun, Sean [Baker] directed the sh-t out of it ? but the others did more for me. The Substance was what I love about cinema at its best. It?s so bold ? the story, the sound design, the makeup. They gave the audience an experience. And it?s so rare for the Academy to recognize a horror film, but the fact that this one is kind of about what it?s like to be a woman in Hollywood probably helped more people to connect with it.?
Thoughts on The Brutalist & Conclave: ?Going in to The Brutalist, I?d never heard of Brady Corbet and was dreading the [three-and-a-half-hour] runtime, but the way people who had seen it at the festivals were talking about it convinced me to go to a screening really early in the season, and by the end I really appreciated why he did it the way he did it. It?s just an incredible film ? beautifully shot, amazing performances, and such a powerful story. But Conclave was so interesting and exciting in a completely different way ? and fun, with a little mystery involved. I thought the ending was great ? it wasn?t trying to make a point, it was just a perfect reveal. Edward Berger is an incredible director. His votes for Best Picture: (1) Conclave, (2) The Brutalist, (3) Nickel Boys, (4) Dune: Part Two, (5) The Substance, (6) Anora, (7) A Complete Unknown, (8) I?m Still Here, (9) Wicked, (10) Emilia Prez
His thoughts on Best Director: ?I judge this category like one judges an Olympic sport: the degree of difficulty, plus the execution ? did you stick the landing? I think this category needs to be expanded to at least eight. Edward Berger, RaMell Ross and Denis Villeneuve should?ve been nominated. How many other directors could?ve done what they did? And why is [A Complete Unknown?s] James Mangold in here but they aren?t? He?s a really good director ? he told the story well ? but there was nothing special about the way he directed that film. You want to tell me that directing Timmy Chalamet in New York was harder than directing an epic in the desert? Come on. I was torn between Brady and [The Substance?s] Coralie Fargeat, and I ended up going with Coralie. If she wasn?t there, I?d have picked Brady, because the fact that he made his movie look that good with only $10 million is unbelievable. But I just thought about historical absence [only three women have ever won this category?s Oscar] and high degree of execution ? she nailed it with that film.
Best Actor: ?I had a hard time with this one. Timmy was probably the easiest one for me to let go. Ralph [Fiennes of Conclave], [The Brutalist?s Adrien] Brody and Colman?s [Domingo of Sing Sing] performances were just so good. I got to hear a lot from the Sing Sing guys, and really liked them, and I think that what Colman did for that movie, on and off screen, was just remarkable. VOTE: Colman Domingo, Sing Sing
Best actress: ?I was very strongly considering voting for Karla, but when her tweets started coming out I was flabbergasted ? I was like, ?I can?t believe this person said these things.? And it kept getting worse every day. It quickly became obvious, ?I?m not voting for this person. No way.? After that, it was between Mikey [Madison of Anora] and Demi [Moore of The Substance]. Both of them are at the heart of their films, and I loved both of their films. I?m not opposed to voting for new, younger people, when they are amazing. But Demi has been around for a long time, and she absolutely crushed it. VOTE: Demi Moore, The Substance
Best supporting actor: I thought it was insane that the one guy from Anora [Yura Borisov] got nominated over the other two [Mark Eydelshteyn and Karren Karagulian]. I seriously considered [The Apprentice?s] Jeremy Strong and [The Brutalist?s] Guy Pearce, but at the end of the day I just loved Kieran [Culkin] in A Real Pain.
Best supporting actress: I was never as high on Zoe [Saldaa of Emilia Prez] as everyone else was. I definitely considered [Conclave?s Isabella] Rossellini. But I was just so impressed with Monica in A Complete Unknown. The only other thing I?d ever seen her in was Top Gun [Maverick], and this was like another person. VOTE: Monica Barbaro, A Complete Unknown
[From THR]
It?s interesting that he chose Colman Domingo. I love Colman and Colman is a wonderful actor who deserves the world? but Sing Sing felt like a poorly-made student film and Colman couldn?t save it. Still, it?s nice to know that Brody isn?t a sure thing in that category! I also enjoy this guy?s vote for Barbaro, who is absolutely wonderful in A Complete Unknown, but she hasn?t won anything this season. As for Demi and The Substance? I hated the film, as I?ve said before, and I do not understand why Hollywood is so enamored with it. Is it *just* because of the very obvious and superficial send-up of ageing in LA? But I do think a lot of people are just going to vote for Demi because she?s been around forever and she?ll probably never get another shot at this. There is that sense that Mikey Madison will get another ?chance? at all of this. Still, I don?t get the vote for Coralie Fargeat. He really thought The Substance was the best-directed film of the year??

Millie Bobby Brown is just 21 years old, shes newly married and shes experiencing with her styling. She recently dyed her hair blonde and has been posting vampy photos to Instagram. This look doesnt suit her, in my opinion, but shes young and has plenty of time to figure it out. Also how do I put this delicately did she get Botox? It really looks like it to me. Millie was in a slink Louis Vuitton pale peach gown at the SAG Awards last night. This color seems to be making a comeback.
Kaitlyn Dever was in a similar color gown, in Elie Saab. The gown is lovely but the color kind of washes her out.
Leighton Meester was also in Elie Saab, in a striking crochet-look strapless column gown. She and Adam Brody are so hot together. Leighton was on stage with Kristen Bell in a bit calling back to her Gossip Girl character.
Sofia Carson got the best Elie Saab, an expertly gathered and tailored peach gown. This is an I expect to win gown, but she wasnt nominated. Sofia was one of the ambassadors to the SAGs along with Noah Centineo. Sofia just starred in Carry On, and that movie was not that great but she was watchable in it. Shes wearing 100 carats worth of Chopard diamonds!

If George Clooney has anything, it?s the audacity. Last summer, Clooney authored a NY Times column (rumored to be ghostwritten) about how Joe Biden was too old to be president and there should be a mini-primary to select the next Democratic presidential nominee, because VP Kamala Harris was obviously not the next in line. Between Clooney?s column and Nancy Pelosi?s machinations, the entire election cycle changed in the course of a couple of weeks. I will never forget the way these people treated Pres. Biden OR Kamala Harris. Clooney is on my permanent sh-tlist. He stayed quiet for a few months, but he?s currently promoting the Broadway adaptation of Good Night and Good Luck. Clooney is taking over the Edward R. Murrow role (David Strathairn played Murrow in the film, which was directed by Clooney). To promote this mess, Clooney spoke to Maureen Dowd at the NYT. Some highlights:
Playing Murrow: ?I always felt like there was a sadness to Murrow, and that was not something that you could associate with me at 40 years old,? he said. Now he has to turn back the clock and cover his salt-and-pepper mane with black dye. ?My wife is going to hate it because nothing makes you look older than when an older guy dyes his hair. My kids are going to just laugh at me nonstop.?
The Trump era: ?You take a narrative, you make it up, don?t worry about facts, don?t worry about repercussions.? He said the play ?feels more like it?s about truth, not just the press. Facts matter. [But] No rules count anymore. It?s like letting an infant walk across the 405 freeway in the middle of the afternoon.?
Explaining the 2016 election: ?I believe that whole idea of the arc of history bending toward justice, and I know it doesn?t feel that way right now. I think there are always these pendulum swings. The first Trump election was, I believe, a result of eight years of a Black president.?
Explaining the 2024 election: ?The Biden administration was terrible at explaining that we?re a world economy, where we were actually doing better than all the other G7 countries. They were bad at telling the story because their messenger was not working at his best, to say the least.?
On Trump: ?He was a New York guy. He?d be at a restaurant and he?d be like, ?What?s the name of that cocktail waitress??? Trump even suggested a doctor who might help Clooney with an injury he had suffered on the set of ?Syriana,? the film that netted him a best supporting actor Oscar. He added, ?We?ve got to hope that he can have that Scrooge night where he wakes up and there are some ghosts of Christmas there that say, ?There?s some good things you can do for people.??
Another Biden story: Last June, Clooney and Obama appeared at a glittery L.A. fund-raiser that raised $28 million for President Joseph R. Biden Jr. When Biden appeared to freeze onstage, Obama led him away. Clooney was gobsmacked. ?I saw him for hours a year earlier at the Kennedy Center, and I saw someone much less sharp? that night, Clooney said. ?I?ve always liked Joe Biden, and I like him still.?
Writing the NYT op-ed: But after Biden?s debate meltdown, Clooney wrote a guest essay for The New York Times urging Biden to step aside. People thought Obama was behind it, but Clooney said he did it despite being urged not to. Many Democrats were grateful to Clooney, who said publicly what they were panicking about in private. Biden, then 81, had promised to be ?a bridge? but was stubbornly clinging to power. But Biden?s cordon sanitaire at the White House and some other Democrats were angry at the actor. The piece sparked a debate about whether celebrities should have such high-profile roles in a party that is already perceived as rich, coastal and out of touch. Biden abdicated his responsibility by hiding his incapacities, Clooney told me, and ?the media, in many ways, dropped the ball.?
[From The NY Times]
Several things I?d like to say, in no particular order. The anger I had (and still have) for Clooney is the way he and others were eager to pass over VP Harris in all of their nonsensical fantasies about replacing Biden. I continue to be outraged that there was all of this smoke for Biden?s advanced age and those people wouldn?t say one fking word about Trump?s very obvious mental and physical decline. I continue to be disgusted that people like Clooney weren?t taking the threat of another Trump term seriously they were like children fighting over a shiny toy, rather than adults justifiably terrified of how bad a second Trump term would be. They should have been locked in to do anything to ensure a Democratic victory, and they just werent. Clooney?s explanation that Biden was too old to explain why the American economy was doing well makes no sense either the media refused to give Biden credit where credit was due, with the NYT (Clooney?s outlet of choice) running daily stories minimizing the galloping success of the Biden economy. Anyway, long story short, Clooney can choke and I hope his play bombs.

Ariana Grande has not won anything for Wicked, but she has been nominated across the board. I sort of wanted to see her win one thing, because I?m sure her speech would have been funny and tearful. But instead, she?s had to watch Zoe Saldana pick up all of the supporting-actress awards for Emilia Perez. At last night?s SAGs, Ari wore a custom Loewe. I honestly can?t get a handle on Loewe and what a ?typical Loewe look? really is, because this just looks like Elie Saab to me. Ari was poorly advised to go through the awards season with this washed-out blonde shade too.
Ari?s on-screen partner Cynthia Erivo wore a spectacular vintage Givenchy to the show. I loved this, I loved how over-the-top it was.
Elle Fanning also wore Loewe, and once again, I?m asking? what is it with Loewe? She paired her look with a Cartier necklace.

Given Anora?s surprise dominance at the Producers Guild Awards and Directors Guild Awards, many thought that the tide had turned against Demi Moore and The Substance in this year?s wacky Oscar race. Awards-season prognosticators even described the SAGs as Demi?s last-chance saloon to go into the Oscars with any kind of momentum or hype. Well, it happened. Demi won the lead-actress SAG Award and Anora went home with nothing. So? the guilds are actually split. Directors and producers love what Sean Baker did with Anora, but the actors? guild was like ?nah, we?ll give it to Demi for this terrible horror film.?
Demi wore this very weird Bottega Veneta dress to win her first SAG. I kind of wonder if she thought she would lose? Like, that?s what the dress felt like to me. She looks so thin as well. Anyway, congrats to her. One really nice thing is the all of the best-actress contenders have been really friendly this year, and Demi and Mikey have often stopped to hug each other and their fellow nominees on their way up to various podiums. Demi did it again last night, stopping to hug Cynthia Erivo.
They?ve finally got Mikey Madison dressing like a princess and that?s when she loses! She wore a custom Louis Vuitton in an icy silver-blue.

| | Halle Berry was told not to talk about menopause because it could damage her career | | Added 132 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Last March, Halle did an event in Los Angeles with Dr. Jill Biden about women?s health. Halle shared a story about how one morning after sex, it felt like she had ?razor blades? in her vajayjay. Her doctor told her it was herpes, but it ended up being a perimenopausal symptom. A few months later, while speaking before Congress to push for legislation that would provide more funding for research and education on menopause, Halle shared that she had a male doctor who told her that she ?didn?t look like? she was in menopause. Now, Halle has started a new company called Respin Health that aims to destigmatize women?s health and build a support community. It will also educate and empower women to make informed decisions about their body. In a recent appearance on Today, Halle revealed that people tried to talk her out of talking about menopause for the sake of her career.
On Feb. 18, the Oscar winner appeared on the Today Show to discuss her new company, Respin Health, which focuses on building a community for women navigating menopause. ?When women have access to a robust community of like-minded women, they automatically start to do better,? the 58-year-old says.
Saturday TODAY co-anchor Laura Jarrett noted that although it sounds ?ridiculous,? it feels like menopause is finally having a moment, with more people willing to have conversations about it.
Berry said at first she was discouraged from pursuing the passion project: ?Sadly, people said to me, ?Are you sure you want to talk about that? Do you want to align yourself with menopause? Do you worry how that will affect your career?? And I said, ?No.??
?And that?s exactly why I should be talking about it because there?s nothing wrong with me being in my mid-life,? the actress continued. ?There?s nothing wrong with being 58, and you have to stop telling me there?s something wrong with me. And I?m going to prove to you that it?s not. And so women, we have to work together to destigmatize this time of life and change culture.?
The Catwoman star encouraged other women going through menopause to lean into their health more and understand what?s happening to their bodies.
?Women find when they start educating themselves that they can make decisions from a place of power, and then they feel empowered and they don?t feel so hopeless during this half,? she explained. ?It?s not time to sit down. It?s time to reinvent. It?s time to have a beautiful, glorious second act. We can still be our fabulous selves, but we have to learn how.?
During menopause, Berry added, ?everything about our body changes, right? But that?s not to be feared. We just need education to navigate that time.?
[From People]
Of course people would try to discourage Halle from speaking out about menopause and blame it on her career. She?s Halle Berry. She?s had worse gossip days than talking about vaginal lacerations and hot flashes, and her career is doing just fine. I?m glad she didn?t listen to the naysayers and is moving full-speed ahead with her mission. I love the idea. It sort of reminds me of what BabyCenter and The Bump do to guide people through pregnancy. I cannot tell you how much I learned about what I was experiencing and what to expect through their articles and message boards. I was 30 when my first son was born, but still the first in my friends group to be pregnant, so I had no peers to talk to. I?d be down to creep on a menopause version. I already get so much education just by reading the comments here.
