Informative Caption Time: "Best Supporting Actress nominee Laura Dern prepares for the Oscars wearing a Bulgari turquoise ring in support of the American Lung Association's LUNG FORCE, an initiative dedicated to raising awareness of the #1 cancer killer of women: lung cancer.

Ugh, this is good too! Laura Dern, teach me your ways!
