An all-gold suit is a LOT to ask one man to pull off, and yet...it has been accomplished. (Obviously, the intention here is to be wholly monochromatic. I think I might have liked to see this with a contrasting pocket square and/or a white shirt and I bet they tried it and it wasn't as cool. But I get why you might try it first.)

Nicolette also looks dishy!

Diane Warren in Valentino

I somehow saw two Diane Warren interviews in a row, first on our ABC affiliate and then on E!, and they BOTH were like, "so you have been nominated A LOT and NEVER WON, that has to SUCK, you're probably not going to win tonight ARE YOU SAD???????" and she was like, "well. I would like to win?" Y'all, stop making Diane talk about how she's the Susan Lucci of this award!! She looks sassy in this, let her enjoy being out of the house! (She should have won one of these first four and we all know it!) (Having said that, the songs those songs lost to were: "I've Had The Time of My Life," which is correct; the Evita song that beat "That Thing You Do!" which is the one that was REALLY robbed that particular year; "MY HEART WILL GO ON" which ABSOLUTELY WAS RIGHT; and then a song I do not remember from Prince of Egypt beat "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing," and honestly I think that's the one that was wrong. No one is going to argue that "My Heart Will Go On" isn't worthy. And Stephen Schwartz has an Oscar for "Colors of the Wind," which is also correct, so let's just take his Prince of Egypt one and give that to Diane! SOLVED IT.)

Lee Isaac Chung wrote and directed Minari, and he looks handsome and his wife, Valerie Chung, looks FANTASTIC.

Who looks like a perfectly glamorous version of Maleficent here. Like...Cheery Maleficent. Maleficent's peppy witch sister that everyone loves.

Yes, they're dating. Yes, this is relatively new information.

Questlove

I had my issues with the ceremony last night, but Questlove did a great job DJing -- and at one point deployed an air horn! -- and I will allow his very fancy Crocs!

This says to me, "I am NOT gonna win this one and I'm PEPPY ABOUT IT!" (As much as I love Olivia Colman and think she was great in The Favourite, I kind of think they needed to give that one to Glenn, who could have easily won for Dangerous Liaisons OR Fatal Attraction and was probably due for the Body of Work Oscar. There's a danger in giving that too early -- I think Sandra Bullock got a Body of Work Oscar for The Blind Side, when if people had just waited just a couple of years she could have won for Gravity! [Giving it to Sandy for Gravity takes Cate Blanchett's Oscar for Blue Jasmine away from her, but I can live with that because Cate already has another one anyway] -- but I am worried we waited too long for Glenn! This keeps me up!)

It doesn't seem to bother her too much, though.
