Chris Evans being charming is the Oscar moment of our swoon-y dreams

TwitterFacebook

Chris Evans has always been the best Chris [Editor’s note: debatable], but his stellar behavior at the 91st Academy Awards further cements his status as the goodest boy named Christopher in Hollywood. 

Evans’ fortuitous seat in the front row of the show and directly next to Best Supporting Actress winner Regina King made it easy for him to physically support her as she ascended the stairs to accept her award.

Oscars 2019 red carpet fashion: Glitz, glam, and challenging looks

TwitterFacebook

The 2019 Oscars has a strong field of nominees, but there were some strong looks on the red carpet too.

Of course, this year brought the usual glamour and dazzle, as evidenced by the sleek, metallic minimalism of Emilia Clarke and Brie Larson, or the disco ball-like glitz of Jennifer Lopez.

But we’re all about the gender binary challenging outfit of Billy Porter, who stole the show with a custom tuxedo gown designed by Christian Siriano. Also not playing it safe was Chadwick Boseman, whose all-black tailcoat was a reminder of just who is king. And some, like Jason Momoa with his velvet Fendi scrunchie, blended style with practicality. Read more…

Lady Gaga wore a massive diamond necklace and everyone thinks it looks very familiar

TwitterFacebook

A star was most definitely born on the Oscars red carpet, and it was hanging from Lady Gaga’s neck.

Gaga attended the 91st Academy Awards looking stunning, as expected, but after marveling over her hair, makeup, black gown, and gloves, no one could stop talking about the stunning, gigantic jewels around her neck. 

The 128 karat Tiffany’s yellow diamond necklace that Lady Gaga is wearing is worth $30 MILLION and was last worn by none other than Audrey Hepburn at her ‘Breakfast At Tiffany’s’ press tour in 1961#Oscars pic.twitter.com/aNmmgGylpe

Your faves Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, and Amy Poehler sang ‘Shallow’ and Lady Gaga loved it

TwitterFacebook

The very first musical performance of Oscars night was from Queen, but the second came from Maya Rudolph, Tina Fey, and Amy Poehler.

The SNL vets belted out a few lines from “Shallow” while gearing up to present the first award of the night, Best Supporting Actress (which Regina King won for If Beale Street Could Talk). And Lady Gaga herself seems to have been a fan, laughing along in the audience.

In their time on stage, the trio also skewered this year’s tumultuous lead-up to the Oscars, the president’s longed-for border wall, and the infamous Fyre Festival sandwiches – while cracking cheesy puns about the nominees. (“My Spanx are moving into my Spider-Verse,” joked Poehler.) Read more…

Hostless Oscars kick off with a performance by Queen

TwitterFacebook

It’s a strange year for our friend Oscar, marooned without a host, and instead of opting for a replacement, the telecast kicked off in a whole new manner.

The Oscars opened with a performance by Queen (with Adam Lambert, who has toured with the band for years), whose songs and story defined Best Picture nominee Bohemian Rhapsody.

The audience of A-listers sang along enthusiastically, because even a room full of people who probably voted for vastly different Oscar movies can all stan Queen.

Okay one second in and the oscars are already lit.

Jason Momoa’s scrunchie truly won the Oscars red carpet

TwitterFacebook

There are truly not enough scrunchies on the Oscars red carpet.

Luckily, Jason Momoa is here.

The Aquaman star generated quite the online reaction with his Academy Awards red carpet get-up on Sunday, a dust pink tuxedo by the late Karl Lagerfeld. Actress and Momoa’s wife Lisa Bonet wore a matching blush gown also by the designer.

A strong look. Wait, what's that on Jason Momoa's wrist?

Behold, the Fendi scrunchie.

Anne Hathaway pokes fun at her terrible Oscars gig with perfect Instagram caption

TwitterFacebook

No one remembers Anne Hathaway’s terrible Oscars hosting gig better than Anne Hathaway.

The Academy Award-winning actress hosted with James Franco in 2011, and was widely panned by critics and audiences for it.

“No matter what happens with today’s show, just remember, it’s already been worse,” she captioned her Instagram post. “Happy Oscars!”

There’s more evidence that a 5G iPhone won’t happen until 2020

TwitterFacebook

The 5G future might be on its way. But for iPhone owners, it’ll be delayed.

An Intel executive told members of the press that its 5G modems likely wouldn’t appear in “products in market” until 2020, according to Reuters. Apple is Intel’s primary mobile phone customer. So Intel’s update certainly sounds like it’s talking about iPhones.

The news from Intel follows two 2018 reports that made similar claims. Sources familiar with Apple’s operations told Bloomberg in Dec. 2018 that iPhones with 5G modems wouldn’t appear until “at least” 2020. A single source informed Fast Company in Nov. 2018 of the same. Read more…

Google Maps’ Satellite view is a lie — and it was almost called ‘Bird Mode’

TwitterFacebook

There’s more evidence that just ignoring your eccentric boss’ bad ideas is the best way to deal with them.

The co-creator of Google Maps and current Salesforce president Bret Taylor decided that Feb. 23, 2019 was a perfectly good time to blow all our damn minds.

On Saturday morning, Taylor dropped what he innocently described as a “silly Google Maps origin story” in a Twitter thread. It included the tale of how one popular feature was almost called… Bird Mode?!
