Today is the day! It’s time for red carpets, teary speeches, and bets lost and won. We are live-blogging the Oscars tonight to cheer on our favorites and dish about the absurdities.
Starting at 7 p.m. (EST) tonight, Sunday, March 2, we’ll be watching the 86th Annual Academy Awards, hosted by Ellen DeGeneres. As our Chris Lombardi notes, “This year, we found plenty to cheer—Ellen De Generes as host, a pioneering Academy president, a field of Best Actresses all of whom fit WVFC’s profile—while noticing that Hollywood still doesn’t quite know how to celebrate us properly.”
Join us right here, cheer along, scroll down, and comment. (Log in any time during the ceremony that you feel the urge to opine.) We welcome your remarks—as short or long as you like. Comments will be screened before we post them, and our online chats are famously civil (if a little catty sometimes about fashion). Feel free to share your point of view. Feel free to share links and photos—and Tweets @womensvoices, too!
You’ll leave a screening of "Plastic Planet" with a new understanding of the dilemma we face: plastic, the very substance that over the 20th century, significantly changed how we live, has taken us over.
Going to some after parties! Okay not really;) Night all!
Good Night and thank you. This has been wonderful.
Thank you too for your invitation to join THIS amazing group of women, an honor indeed.
O, do we all have to go home now? This was fun. Anyone who can explain Ellen DeG to me, pls drop a line. And most of all, I want to thank….
Lovely to share a night with so many of you whom I only know here at WVFC. So nice to listen to your opinions and to share a little Oscar gossip.
Chris, Wonderful job once again!
Dr. Pat
Thank you all for staying up with me (neither my husband nor my daughter managed to). Happy Oscars! See you next year!
Good night from Minnesota!
Another year of best director not having directed the best pic!
