Oscars 2021 Red Carpet

Zendaya in Valentino Haute Couture

Of all the award shows this season, the Oscars were the first to return to a live red carpet. Did we ever think that we’d get here? Just when I was starting to get used to and love the red carpet portraits, it seems like things are returning back to normal. It’s not fair to say that this year’s nominees were a bit lackluster given a pandemic year, but I think every organization did the best it could. Despite some hiccups, we still got outstanding looks. I found myself particularly favoring menswear more than ever!

All the Winners from the 2020 Academy Awards

What an incredible moment watching “Parasite” take home four awards yesterday evening! When I was recommended to see the film and had actually watched it, I knew it was a good one. Never did I ever imagine that it would not only be nominated for this many awards, but also win them. After years of the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite, you know not to have high expectations. I have so many more thoughts on why these wins are so important, but I’ve got another post up my sleeve. For now, I just want to share all of the winners from yesterday’s award show – all deserving. It was an incredible year for film!

Photo of the Day:

The Oscars aren’t even over yet, but we couldn’t help ourselves. This was the cutest photo of the evening so far (or that I have seen circulating the interwebs) Olivia and Jason could have found a stunning photo of Olivia the next morning from the paps, but he’s such a proud husband and a soon-to-be proud Papa that he just had to have this snapshot for himself on his phone. We like these kind of celebrities.

Oscar Dresses by Best Actress Winners

It’s the eve before the Oscars and as always, we’re more than a little bit excited about the red carpet. Additionally, Ellen is hosting – need we say more? This handy-dandy infographic was released yesterday by MediaRun outlining every dress worn by a leading actress winner over the last 85 years since the award show has existed with actress names and designers included. It’s quite interesting to notice the patterns and similarities in the gowns ie) how in the earlier days best actress winners were leaning towards the neutral colors and in the most recent times becoming a little bit more daring with their gowns.

If Movie Posters Did Their Job…

We wouldn’t have to sit through a movie that sucks because the poster would tell us everything we would need to know. Let’s be real though, posters aren’t going to do that because the people that design them need to do their jobs. However, if posters were honest from the beginning, this is what we would learn about our Oscar-nominated Best Picture films.
