Happy Oscars Weekend! That’s right, the big one is this Sunday — hopefully not also The Big One, although a huge earthquake during the Oscars sounds like an episode of 9-1-1. We’ll have complete coverage of the red carpet here on Monday, and will of course be hosting our usual live chat over at Drinks With Broads throughout the red carpet, which starts at 1pm Pacific Time, and the ceremony, which kicks off at 4pm Pacific Time. This is one not to miss, so come hang out!
Also at DWB this week, speaking of the Oscars, we sat down with Pamela Ribon for a deep, logistics-y dive into what it was like to be Oscar-nominated last year. We also explored a MUSTARD MUSEUM, watched The Regime, and dove into all that F1 gossip. We arrived at the penultimate episode of Traitors, and I lost my mind about how much I hate Feud.
Speaking of the Oscars, Lainey’s newsletter, The Squawk, had a great piece on how the Oscars came to be. She also made her Oscars predictions.
