13 Favorite Photos from Oscar Night

We wouldn't be The Film Experience if we had an easy time letting go of Oscar night. It'll be time to move on soon but here are random photos to enjoy from parties and backstage and whatnot

Amy Adams and Vin Diesel - try to imagine this movieChiron & Kevin kissing again. This time in totally different happiers but also confusing context
Janelle Monae in good spirits at the Governor's Ball. But when isn't she?

A candid of Brie and her manOscar nominee Lucas Hedges and Tony winner Cynthia Erivo dancing at the Governor's Ball

Viola, gleeful. As well she should be. A lot of people change clothes between the show and the partiesI'm including this one because I love walk off stage photos. Also because two things: Damien Chazelle always looks so sinister but he is actually so nice (I met him in a few times in 2014); Halle Berry has now presented Best Actor and Best Director to the two youngest recipients of those prizes of all time.

Emma Stone burst into tears when Brie Larson hugged her backstageTrying to imagine this conversation. It was probably disgustingly gracious on both sides which is perfectI love this shot. Lesley Mann is an undervalued assett to movies. And she's making like Belle from Beauty & The Beast here

Dominic Cooper finally gets cozy with his girfriend Ruth Negga

It makes me giggle that Casey is standing so far away at first.

FINALLY...

I know I've used this one before but everything about its evocative nature the hallway, the glamorous stars turning in unglamourous hallway, the inscrutable emotions, will always scream 89th Academy Awards to me...

There's a lot of sex in that first photograph.

My sister and brother in law have that exact same action pose photograph as Emma and Ryan. La Romance!

Leslie Mann may be undervalued, but she looked like Little Bo Peep got a golden shower.

March 1, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterCharlieG

I adore Ruth Negga's dress. Of course, I suspect she'd make anything look good.

March 1, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterCash

Which reminds me - Leslie Mann was hilarious!!!

March 1, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterTony T

That's right: Leslie Mann & John Cho both did a great, very funny job presenting the other night! Their antics unfortunately got overshadowed by **certain events** at the end, but our crowd all found them perfectly delightful. Hope they team up again!

Ryan and Emma seem very close. A little too close. Why does Eva Mendes, the mother of his two children, never come to awards events with him? Just wondering.

Dominic Cooper is so hot but someone once pointed out that he always looks high in photos and now that's what I always think when I see him.

March 1, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterDJDeeJay

What is Amy Adams doing with that idiot?


Leslie Mann not really an assett to movies - what are you talking about?!
She's annoying,
and she has that shrieky voice, that always go even more high pitch and shrill
when she's overacting - which is often!

March 1, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterUlrich

@ Miss Cleo - they've had an intense year, as he mentioned in his Globes acceptance speech.

@ Nat - I was diggin' on that Adams/Diesel pic too, but also Kravitz/Glusman (sexy crazy hair colors), Monae/Washington (Kerry) and Clarkson/Cumming.

PS. Where is TFE Fashion Police? The gowns, the gowns...

March 1, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterPaul Outlaw

If that's the level of the Amy Adams and Vin Diesel chemistry just from one photo, I want to see their movie!

March 1, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterEdward L.

^yeah, but the man cannot act!

She might as well act with Schwarzenegger/Stallone/Van Damme
then!

March 1, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterUlrich

@ Ulrich

How about the two of them in a music video? ;-)

March 1, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterPaul Outlaw

A few takeaways:

1. Poor Amy. It looks like Vin is dangerously close to giving her a reach-around. (Don't fall for it!)
2. Jharrel Jerome is super cute. Am I allowed to say that? (He isn't really 16, is he?)
3. Dominic Cooper and Ruth Negga are dating? Wha...?
4. Casey Affleck doesn't deserve to be side-by-side with the Ali, Stone, and Davis anyway.
5. That Givenchy dress sure is a stunner.

March 1, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterMareko

^^could be...
maybe a steamy, sexy one?
so there's something for both the boys and the girls?!

Which artist(S)?

March 1, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterUlrich

@ Ulrich

Justin Timberlake. ;-)

March 1, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterPaul Outlaw

I thought Leslie Mann did an amazing job. She needs to be given a larger hosting gig next time.

I think Amy could make Vin look good in a movie. She has enough acting skills for both of them I think.

Amy Adams was best dressed for me. That Tom Ford was perfection. She's never looked better.

March 1, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterAaron

Where is Eva Mendes?

March 1, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterMarie

@ Paul Outlaw:
Justin Timberlake bringing sexy back... again?!
Sure, why not!

And who should direct it?
Fincher?
or maybe Adams' Her-director, Spike Jonze?
Or David O. Russell? - has he ever made music vidoes?
(would she even work with him again?)

How 'bout Tom Ford? his aesthetics are perfect for music videos...¨

A safe choice would be Samuel Bayer, who's made a lot of music videos
- and made "What Goes Around... Comes Around" for Justin...

And the storyline should be...
fuck the storyline! - they should just be scantily clad!

March 1, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterUlrich

two photos of Brie when she's not a nominee... love is blind. Too much of the Larson.

Great pic of Dominic and Ruth, now that's a sexy couple,

March 1, 2017 | Unregistered Commentersummer

(so chill throughout)

Amy, "Shiiiit that was a fat bowl we smoked."
Vin, "Yeah it was."
Amy, "Shiiiit, I wasn't nominated. Ehh."
Vin, "Yeah? Well I was in Billy Lynn..."
Amy, "Shiiiiit."

@ mikenewq really funny, lol!
I wish they do a none-action film
