Tiffany Haddish was a glorious mess at the Oscar nominations announcement this morning. “This Dunkirk” was great. [LaineyGossip]
Princess Eugenie & Jack Brooksbank are sort of cousins? [Dlisted]
The other Real Housewives are making fun of Countess LuAnn. [Starcasm]
Good news for Taika Waititi! [Looper]
Ryan Reynolds wants to remake Clue, which is stupid because that movie is a classic. You wouldn’t remake Casablanca, would you? [Pajiba]
Mark Wahlberg says his muscles are all-natural. [JustJared]
OMG, Steven Tyler’s kitten looks just like my Baby Panther! [Seriously OMG WTF]
I’m sure we’ll see a few of these messy, giant Giambattista Valli gowns on some Oscar presenters this year. [GoFugYourself]

“You wouldn’t remake Casablanca, would you?” Please don’t encourage them because you know it is only a matter of time.
There’s nothing Hollywood wouldn’t remake. Nothing.
Remaking Casablanca is like opening the Seventh Seal: world ends, world burns. We’d deserve it. 😏
They can get Justin Timberlake to play Bogarts part and Jonny Depp can play the Peter Lorre role.
Ellen is SIXTY!?!?!?!?!?
Paul Thomas Anderson wants to meet Tiffany Haddish. I would pay good money if he then introduces her to Daniel Day-Lewis and there is video of said introduction.
Please, universe. This is everything I didn’t know I needed in these dark times.
Reynolds is already on my list. Does he wanna be at the first place? Clue remake. Clueless Ryan…
It was pretty disrespectful how Tiffany kept messing up people’s names. I’ve never seen her in anything before so that wasn’t a great first impression for me.
On the one hand it was disrespectful but on the other, f@ck them! Hollywood is full of abusers, hypocrites and enablers so they don’t deserve $hit. They’ll live.
C’mon plenty of nominees aren’t big players, and not all work in Hollywood. Cheryl Boone Isaacs got crap for mispronouncing Pope as poop once and now Tiffany gets a pass? Andy Serkis clearly practised the names of the faves beforehand so he wouldn’t be caught out. That’s what people presenting always do.
So rude, super unprofessional. She can do better. I’m so disappointed with her.
I want to like her, but all I ever see is her shriek obnoxiously and say things in a stupid manner that I guess we’re meant to treat as “hilarious”.
I think she’s got an incredible story but find about 20 seconds of her to be too much. She’s obnoxious and annoying.
she didn’t really learn to read until high school, but whatever, go off.
Then she could ask someone how to pronounce the names? Come on now – someone who clearly struggled should KNOW when to ask for help.
Ok? Then maybe she should have rehearsed ahead of time. None of these people have unknown names. Oh boo hoo, this millionaire Groupon shiller used to be illiterate so it’s ok for her to mangle people’s names when they’re being honored with an award.
I suspect the organizers were planning on exactly this kind of show when they hired her.
I get what you are saying in general, but I think this is seen almost as damage control / PR move — show that the industry isn’t so high and mighty by having an up and coming actress butcher their names. Self-deprecating humor.
I just saw What We Do I the Shadows for the first time last week. IT IS SO FRIGGIN FUNNY. So excited for the show!!! Taika is so friggin talented I can’t stand it.
If you haven’t, check out his Oscar nominated short, “Two Cars One Night” I think it’s called. It’s on YouTube. So good.
It is also worth seeing his other feature The hunt for the wilderpeople. It is fantastic, written and directed by Taika and he is in it too, obviously. Taika literally is a miracle that happened to mankind.
I don’t know how I missed that movie, honestly! I am super pumped though – because I love me some Jemaine Clement – and Taika was responsible for some of my favorite FoTC episodes. Definitely will be watching the movie this weekend and waiting excitedly for the show
Tiffany Haddish…sigh. When her humor works, I love it. It’s very genuine. However, she doesn’t know when to turn it off and/or dial it down. On one hand I appreciate the authenticity. On the other hand, it doesn’t make one less genuine to adjust their humor for specific settings. Reading the room is important.
Also, it didn’t bother me that she pronounced names incorrectly, it bothered me that she didn’t care to apologize or earnestly try to get them right. It may just be from awkwardness, but it came off slightly rude.
I thought it was disrespectful how she mangled everyone’s name esp. the more foreign sounding ones and somehow has an inability to pronounce “Missouri “ properly, that joke got old very quick. If you’re going to have presenters, please get ones that can read and enunciate names properly otherwise it comes across as very sloppy and unprofessional.
I thought she was mispronouncing every one’s name for the fun of it. It just came off to me as part of her comedic vibe. But I love her so maybe I’m just biased.
