I?m trying to get into the high-fashion mood ahead of this weekend?s BAFTAs and the upcoming Oscars two Sundays from now. These are photos from last night?s Costume Designers Guild Awards. The big winners in film were for JoJo Rabbit (Excellence in Period Film), Knives Out (Jenny Eagan) for Contemporary Film and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (Ellen Mirojnick) for Sci-Fi/Fantasy Film. Charlize Theron was there to represent Bombshell, and she went all out in this surprisingly gorgeous Louis Vuitton gown. Charlize likes some fashion drama and she can really pull off these BIG looks. Honestly, I think this is my favorite look on Charlize from the entire awards season thus far? And that?s mostly because her hair finally looks cute with that gold headband. Her terrible hair has been ruining what would have been good looks for two months now.
Mindy Kaling was the MC/host of the CDGAs, and she wore a custom Salvador Perez gown. Again, it?s appropriate for an awards show for costume designers I love a velvet dress, but I would like to edit this somehow. It feels a bit dated? Her hair looks great though.
Weirdly, I friggin? loved Nathalie Emmanuel in this David Koma Fall look usually I don?t like sheer panels and I have a special dislike of embroidered sheer panels, but this completely works. Love the butterfly energy!!

Charlize Theron got a lot of attention at the SAG Awards because she did something weird with her hair. On the red carpet, she said she didn?t have time to do her roots, so her stylist just arranged a diamond necklace to go along the center-part in her hair. Which? drew attention to her roots. It was a strange styling choice. Her two-piece Givenchy was? meh. Not the best, not the worst.
Nicole Kidman in Michael Kors. She looked? fine? I honestly don?t have any complaints here. The dress is okay-to-good (not great), her hair looks okay and she?s not Botoxed to high heaven. It?s weird that Nicole used to be the one to watch on the red carpet, but she?s spent years lowering expectations so much that I?ll just call this look a win and move on.
Zoe Kravitz in Oscar de la Renta. I like and appreciate what Zoe has been trying to do recently with the Audrey Hepburn vibe, BUT I also hate this shade of soft peach. It?s ugly and dated and unflattering on Zoe. Imagine this in red, black, purple or green. It would have been so good. But she looks like she?s about to go to a school dance in 1955. The gloves are fine!

One of Charlize Theron?s daughters happens to be transgender. At first, there was simply speculation online about Jackson Theron, because she wore Elsa-from-Frozen wigs and girls? clothes. Then Charlize began publicly identifying Jackson as her daughter, and then earlier this year, Charlize spoke about it again, saying that Jackson told her ?I am not a boy? when she was three years old. I said at the time that I appreciated Charlize?s sort of blase acceptance, but I was concerned that Charlize was telling her daughter?s story and it should really be Jackson?s choice (or whatever name the girl is going by now). Well, in a new interview with PrideSource, Charlize talks more about why she did begin to discuss her transgender daughter publicly, and a lot more this is a good read. Some highlights:
On Margot Robbie playing a conservative lesbian in ?Bombshell?: ?I wish I could take credit for that, but no. It was something that was written in the script when I got it and I thought it was really interesting and it is so interesting that people kind of go, like, ?Wait, I don?t understand.? I was like, ?You can?t understand that a conservative Jesus-loving girl could also love other women?? I?m like, isn?t that so strange?
On experimentation: ?I experimented and I did what I think every young person should do: feel brave enough and free enough in order to figure it out. It?s not like the stuff is laid out on a piece of paper for us; we have to kind of go through a life, and until you have certain experiences you don?t really know who you are. I was just lucky that I grew up in a house where my mom was never scared of those things. My mom always said, ?Figure it out. I don?t want you to be me. Go figure out what it is for you.? And I think it was because of that I got to share those things with her; when I did go on those explorations I had this person that I could share it with, that I felt safe with, who wasn?t going to judge me or label me. But it turns out ? ahh! ? that I am straight. It?s a little bit of a bummer.
Conversations about queerness with her kids: ?They?re a little too young, but we definitely have these conversations whenever they say, ?I?m gonna get married? and I?m always like, ?What is it gonna be? A boy or a girl? What is it gonna be?? I love that my kids just know that that?s a normal question to ask. One of my daughters (4-year-old August) is convinced that she?s gonna be married five times and it?s gonna be three boys and two girls, and I just love that she has the freedom to think that way. God knows what it?s going to be, but I love that she feels safe enough to explore in her little-girl brain that anything is possible and that she?s gonna go and discover that for herself.
On her daughter who happens to be transgender: ?Well, this is all pretty new for us? My daughter?s story is really her story, and one day, if she chooses, she?ll tell her story. I feel like as her mother, for me, it was important to let the world know that I would appreciate it if they would use the right pronouns for her. I think it became harder for us the older she got that people were still writing about her in the wrong pronouns, and also I was still talking about her in the press using the wrong pronoun. It really hurt her feelings. I don?t want to be that mom, and that was really why I said what I said a while back I haven?t really talked about it ever since, again, because outside of just asking that respectfully of the press ? and the world, hopefully ? the rest is really private and it?s her story, and it?s really up to her to decide if she wants to share that.
[From PrideSource]
That?s one of the best answers to why she said something and why she won?t be talking more about her daughter. Jackson got to the age where she was aware of what Charlize said about her and how Charlize publicly identified her and that mattered. Charlize is such a good mom. I really mean that she?s a single mother with a lot of help from HER mother, and she?s figuring it out as she goes along. She?s doing a good job.

Here are more photos from last night?s Critics? Choice Awards. Charlize Theron is getting nominated across the board for playing Megyn Kelly in Bombshell and everybody seems to have mixed feelings about that. I sort of wonder if Charlize is trying her best to avoid looking like Megyn Kelly during the awards season, and maybe that?s why she?s keeping this tragique hairstyle. This hair is full-on ruining what would be okay red carpet looks. Charlize?s look last night was Celine I?m curious about what the dress looks like without the jacket, but whatever. It?s a look.
Nicole Kidman in Armani. On the show, I only saw this from the waist up, so I was not expecting this ballgown-like skirt. It?s? a lot. It?s not bad, actually. It?s just kind of boring, even though it?s supposed to be mega-drama.
Annabelle Wallis in Moschino another one which should be DRAMA but it?s really not. I am surprised by how much I like the construction on this it suits her.
Jenny Slate in Mulberry. This is? lovely? I really like the fabric, the embroidery, the subtle sparkle in the floral. It suits her and it?s a good dress.

I was low-key shocked by the number of women dressed in Dior at last night?s Golden Globes. Usually, Dior only dresses a handful of A-listers and they make sure that everything is on-point. This year, they dressed about a dozen women and most of this sh-t looked like knock-off Versace or budget Rodarte. It was definitely weird there was no rhyme or reason to any of the Dior looks. Anyway, here?s Charlize Theron in Dior. I thought this was Versace, but? like, weird Versace. I?ll give the look some credit: the corset/bustier thing was impeccable. It was the lime green fabric drape that threw off the look. Plus, I just haven?t enjoyed Charlize?s styling recently she doesn?t know what to do with her hair and it shows.
Awkwafina wore Dior and she won Best Actress in a Comedy/Musical for The Farewell. Which is a great little movie and I?m so happy for her, and happy for the film. This look is very? Awkwafina.
Dakota Fanning?s Dior look seemed? okay. I?m okay with it.
Helen Mirren?s look was my favorite Dior. She?s so beautiful and this is so classy!

Charlize Theron has been doing the bulk of the Bombshell promotion for the past month or two. Nicole Kidman has given some interviews too, but where is Margot Robbie? And John Lithgow too, where is he? Charlize is front and center because she plays Megyn Kelly, and Charlize is the lead AND the producer. All of which means, she sat down for a long interview with NPR and there are SO MANY good quotes from this interview. Charlize spoke at length about growing up under apartheid in South Africa, and how it took years and lots of therapy for her to really work out the feeling of guilt because of her specific privilege and the system of white privilege in South Africa. Charlize also spoke about how her mother killed her father, and how a director sexually harassed her in 1994.
She was sexually harassed: In 1994, actor Charlize Theron was just starting out in show business when a famous director invited her to an audition at his home. When she showed up, she found the director drinking and in his pajamas. He touched her leg; she apologized and left in a hurry. Driving away, Theron became angry ? with herself: I just kept hitting the steering wheel. I put a lot of blame on myself that I didnt say all the right things, and that I didnt tell him to take a hike, and that I didnt do all of those things that we so want to believe well do in those situations.
She eventually confronted her harasser: ?In sexual harassment, youre always waiting for that moment where theres full closure, where you feel like youve actually had your moment, where you get to say your piece. And that never really happens. Ive heard this repeatedly in hearing other womens stories, and that is the unfortunate thing about sexual harassment. You never get that moment where you feel like the tables are reversed and now hes finally getting it.
She has disclosed her harasser?s name but no one has ever published it: ?I actually did disclose his name. You dont know that because every time I disclosed his name, the journalist made the decision to not write his name, and it goes to show just how deeply systemic this problem is. I remember the first time somebody asked me if I ever had a casting couch experience, and I openly shared the experience and named him, and the person decided to not write his name. So the story is out, and strangely, when the Harvey Weinstein story broke, I, for the first time ever, Googled the story and the story came up everywhere. It popped up everywhere, and nowhere could you find this guys name. And it was incredibly upsetting to me I dont have a desire to protect him, but I also dont want him to overshadow this film right now. So there will be a right time where I will talk about this again, and I will say his name, yes.
The gray area of sexual harassment: Its not always physical assault. Its not always rape. Theres a psychological damage that happens for women in the everyday casualness of language, touch or threat ? threat of losing your job. Those are things Ive definitely encountered.
On her mother killing her father in self-defense: ?My father was a very sick man. My father was an alcoholic all my life. I only knew him one way, and that was as an alcoholic. It was a pretty hopeless situation. Our family was just kind of stuck in it. And the day-to-day unpredictability of living with an addict is the thing that you sit with and have kind of embedded in your body for the rest of your life, more than just this one event of what happened one night. I think our family was an incredibly unhealthy one. And all of it, I think, scarred us in a way? My father was so drunk that he shouldnt have been able to walk when he came into the house with a gun. My mom and I were in my bedroom leaning against the door, because he was trying to push through the door. So both of us were leaning against the door from the inside to have him not be able to push through. He took a step back and just shot through the door three times. None of those bullets ever hit us, which is just a miracle. But in self-defense, she ended the threat.?
[From NPR]
I?ve always wondered about Charlize?s family background, but specifically to that moment of her mother killing her father in self-defense, and how that must have fundamentally changed everything in Charlize?s life. But I appreciate the way she frames it here: ?And the day-to-day unpredictability of living with an addict is the thing that you sit with and have kind of embedded in your body for the rest of your life, more than just this one event of what happened one night.? As much as the violence of that night had larger repercussions in her life, it was the day-to-day life with an alcoholic parent which really fked her up. That?s an incredible observation.
Also: I think it?s really interesting that Charlize has apparently named her harasser to journalists and the media outlets choose not to run with it. I hope she does eventually name him. For some reason, I looked up Michael Bay?s IMDB. But? maybe it?s not Bay. A perv director in the ?90s? Hm.

Charlize Theron has a new interview in the New York Times to promote Bombshell. I?ve only started to realize recently (like, in the past week) that Charlize is angling for a Best Actress Oscar nomination for playing Megyn Kelly. Considering the field and the work Charlize put it into the film? it will probably happen? Charlize not only went through that physical transformation to become Megyn Kelly, she also stepped in as a producer on the project after the financing fell through at the last minute. So, yeah, Hollywood loves that kind of plucky behind-the-scenes story. Charlize spoke about that, how Megyn Kelly is deeply flawed and how Harvey Weinstein was always a massive C-U-Next-Tuesday. Some highlights:
On Annapurna Pictures pulling the financing for Bombshell two weeks before production began: ?It felt like we had been going at top speed toward something risky, and then, all of a sudden, the floor was just dropping from underneath us? It?s a tough pill to swallow when you hear your financier wants to back out, especially when it?s almost half the cost of something that they?ve already done with a man.? [Annapurna had just released Vice.]
On Megyn Kelly?s controversial statements: ?There are things she has said that I?ve definitely had issues with, but it doesn?t invalidate how I feel about her struggle. Avoiding all of that stuff to get an emotional arc out of her character, I just didn?t want to be a part of that. By the way, if this was a movie about me ? and I hope nobody ever does one ? it would be filled with flaws and mistakes, and I wouldn?t want somebody to take those things away. I really do believe that what she and those women went through was messed up, even though they work for a network that I highly have issues with.
On the scene where Margot Robbie?s character is sexually harassed by Roger Ailes: ?My concern was making sure she was comfortable in the underwear she was wearing. All three of us ? Nicole, Margot and I ? have been nude in movies where it?s not about the nudity. I?ve also been nude in scenes where I felt incredibly empowered, which is not what you would imagine. What the scene in ?Bombshell? was more about, and what made this brutal to watch on the day, was the fact that you had Roger Ailes dictating how this was going to go and she didn?t have a say. It?s the belittling factor: ?I am going to get you to do something that I know you?re incredibly uncomfortable with.? I think it?s having to placate his power that makes it almost unbearable to watch, way more than if he physically raped her in that scene.
Men?s reactions to the movie: ?Watching this has been eye-opening to a lot of people. Men, especially, go, ?I had no idea women had to do things like that.? It?s humbling that you can create that kind of moment, because a lot of times you know people are going to say, ?This is a woman?s movie, and men will not tap into this at all.? When men can emotionally engage with what we experience and be just as disturbed by it, it?s a powerful thing.
On the power plays Harvey Weinstein used to make: ?Yeah, and he did that to everybody. Pitting women against each other? He was really, really good at that. There was a lot of, like, ?Well, I?m talking to Gwyneth for this movie ?? One of his lines was that Rene [Zellweger] and I slept with him to get jobs. There was no limit to him. Even in the sexual favors, he would still pit us against each other.
[From The New York Times]
Her description of men?s reactions to the movie reminds me a little bit of the conversations however brief around Christine Blasey Ford?s Senate testimony last year. I remember that so many men online were suddenly feeling very raw and in their feelings about Dr. Ford?s testimony and how the trauma of a sexual assault can have repercussions for years and decades. It was like, ?oh, sh-t, that really happens?? I feel men just keep having those realizations too with all of the outed predators and these conversations about sexual harassment, assault, power imbalance and rape culture.
Speaking of, her comment about Harvey Weinstein is? interesting. There were so many rumors that Charlize was one of the few actresses to really stand up to Weinstein as he was harassing her. But for her to name-check Renee Zellweger? well. And you know, Renee is probably going to be nominated for an Oscar this year too.

Glamour Magazine has multiple covers and cover subjects for their 2019 Women of the Year issue. The 2018 Glamour WOTY are: Charlize Theron, Margaret Atwood, Megan Rapinoe, Yara Shahidi, Ava Duvernay, Greta Thunberg, Tory Burch and the women of The Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES). Yay, that?s a pretty good list. Charlize Theron got one of the covers to promote Bombshell, the Roger Ailes-scandal movie where she plays Megyn Kelly. I didn?t know that Charlize produced the film too she stepped in as producer about two weeks before the production because there were some last-minute shenanigans. You can read Charlize?s full profile here. Some highlights:
On playing Megyn Kelly in Bombshell: ?I think I was scared of it. A lot of projects I?ve been involved in are not necessarily projects where everybody has gone, ?Yeah, this is going to be great, you should do this!? It tends to be projects where people are like, ?I don?t know about this Monster movie. Really???
How she defines success: ?Well it definitely doesn?t mean box office. If you?re going to do it, let it be on something that actually means something to you.?
Bombshell is her fifteenth outing as a producer: ?I think there?s this conclusion that sometimes gets made, like, ?It can?t possibly be a fking actress that put this thing together.?
She never wants to get married: ?I haven?t been in a relationship for a very long time. I never wanted to get married. Those are things that are not hard for me, because they?re innately my truth. I find people are somewhat perplexed by that, and also more with women, right??
On her kids: ?I so wish that I could be the woman that I am and do the job I do and still fully, fully protect my children from all of that, and it?s never going to happen,? she says. It hasn?t been the easiest ride, but she says she hopes her kids? unique upbringing ?will somehow inform them to be the characters and people they need to be.?
[From Glamour]
?I never wanted to get married. Those are things that are not hard for me, because they?re innately my truth.? I sometimes think about how she was with Stuart Townsend for so long and they seemed like real partners and then? it just ended. Then she was halfway engaged to Sean Penn, right? But she left him, ghosted him and we still don?t know what happened there. I guess my point is that Charlize probably was anti-marriage for as long as she can remember, and yes, I relate to that! And I relate to people being perplexed by it too. But Charlize has kids, so at least people are not like ?so? you never want to get married AND you?re child-free? What?s the catch?? Which is what I get.

Here are some photos from last night?s Hollywood Film Awards, a completely made up awards show which tries to be one of the first ?awards shows? of the season. The winners are announced ahead of time, I?m sure, and it?s not televised on any major platform, I don?t think. It?s basically just an excuse for people to declare certain other people the ?Oscar frontrunners.? Charlize Theron was one of the people who got ?honored? (with a Lifetime Achievement Award) and Charlize is the whole reason why I wanted to cover these photos! This is McQueen. It appears to be a sleek black jumpsuit with a glittery, sheer tunic overlay and I LOVE IT. It?s so much cooler than the standard ?awards season gown.? It?s bejeweled!!
Nicole Kidman presented the award to Charlize (they?re costars in Bombshell). The kids don?t realize that Nicole used to be one of the most fashionable women in the world. They don?t know that because Nicole has spent the last decade wearing cheesy bridal-looking crap.
Renee Zellweger was honored for her work in Judy and I?m growing more and more concerned that Renee is going to win the Oscar for doing bad Judy Garland drag.
Olivia Wilde in Michael Kors. I think peplums are over, but she looks very nice.
My nemesis Laura Dern wore Markarian and looked like a Southern beauty queen from 1984.
Sienna Miller in Cong Tri. Honestly, this was my second favorite look after Charlize?s.
Dakota Johnson in Saint Laurent. This was a Good Look.

Because every animated film has to be remade as a live-action film, we?ve gotten to the point where every live-action film now has to be made into an animated film. The Addams Family films starring Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia are utter classics, but now there?s an animated remake, with characters voiced by Charlize Theron (Morticia), Oscar Isaac, Chloe Grace Moretz, Nick Kroll and Snoop Dogg. The LA premiere was last night. Sure.
Charlize wore Dior, because she?s the face of a Dior perfume. The whole ensemble is? not great together, although the separates are kind of great. The skirt is tie-dyed and I would have put it with a black t-neck. The blouse is a bit fussy, I would not have buttoned it all the way up and I would have put it with trousers. And the shoes should go with trousers or a suit too. But the biggest thing is this bowl cut that Charlize has now. She?s had this bowl cut for about a month, I think, but this is the first appearance of the bowl cut on a red carpet. YeahI hate it, without apology. The cut is awful and unflattering and it makes her look tweaked. The dye job is awful too.
Charlize spoke to the Hollywood Reporter at the premiere:
Charlize Theron voices matriarch Morticia, taking over the iconic character after coming up with a different-sounding voice and playing around with a lot of that stuff alongside co-directors Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan. Of the familys 80-year staying power, Theron told The Hollywood Reporter at the Los Angeles premiere on Sunday, I think theres something inspiring about a family that is so different and they dont just think its OK, they think its great that theyre that different. We should all aspire to that.
The new take follows the Addams family as they move to modern New Jersey and face off against a prying reality TV host. Oscar Isaac, Chloe Grace Moretz, Finn Wolfhard, Better Midler, Nick Kroll, Elsie Fisher, Snoop Dogg and Allison Janney also voice roles in the film, with Fisher noting how the new incarnation, as almost all Addams Family incarnations do, tackles modern issues, and I think our film really talks about the good and the bad part of social media, the horrors of mob mentality and how ostracized people can be attacked.
[From THR]
I loved the Addams family as a kid and it probably influenced by a goth-lite phase for years. Anjelica Huston will forever be my Morticia, but Charlize is just doing the voice and so be it. If this gets kids more interested in goth life, then that will make me happy. Morticia and Wednesday Addams are always pretty easy Halloween costumes too. Hint, hint.
