michelle yeoh's outfit is great. the other michelle ... not so much.

paul looks hot even with the mullet. the pic of austin and him side by side is giving "you vs the guy she told you not to worry about"

white Michelle is always destined to be the other Michelle

[azaelers]

I love the mullet and I love the white tank top(?) instead of a button down

He looks borderline dirtbag ugh I can’t resist

Angela Bassett and Stephanie Hsu look fab.

Hmm, Michelle. She’s dressed like she signed up for a classroom parent shift after the luncheon.

I was thinking conservative teacher at a public school in Texas.

Yep, with interesting concerns about the curriculum and library stock.

Stephanie Hsu's outfit is my favorite look of this luncheon! Her style is so fun!

Here for a time, neither good nor bad.

how she can be so deadpan and yet so full of nuanced emotion

"It’s partly because the Downsizing team so assured her of success and nominations to come that she was blindsided by that film’s brutal backlash. “I said to myself, ‘I don’t ever want to go through this again,’” she tells The Independent. “So now, when people ask how it feels to be nominated, it’s strange. I really feel nothing.”

Hmm I feel for her cause I did hear that some in the Asian community thought that her character was stereotypical. I haven't seen it or am Asian so I can't say.

Hopefully she enjoys her time this time'round!

iirc Asian-American activists complained that she had a stereotypical accent in Downsizing while she said that she felt she was honoring her immigrant parents’ accent. the backlash got bad enough that she missed out on an Oscar nomination even though she had a lot of precursor nominations. i felt so bad for her at the time, that the backlash directly led to an Asian-American actress missing out on a first and potentially life-changing nomination. so happy she didn’t have to wait too much longer after that controversy to get her first nomination!

ok now i'm a little disappointed rihanna didn't show up. just roll up after the super bowl and baby announcement and throw them all off, i bet everyone would've been fangirling her too

[scriptedending]

Brian looks great! Love Paul's suit, but idg that undershirt sitch... I'm hoping his actual Oscar look is good. Cate looks incredible as always.

I love looking at the big pic every year - shame Bill Nighy isn't looking at the camera!

[masterofmystery]

i'm digging paul's look bit his pants look long as fuck. please find a tailor or stylist by march 12 buddy
