Lupita Nyong’o glittered in a gild gold sequin Prada dress with silver floral clusters and a metallic fringing touch. Despite getting caught up in the most dramatic episode of the evening, Jada Pinkett Smith turned heads in an emerald green satin couture look from Jean Paul Gaultier’s recent show, which was guest-designed by Diesel’s It-creative director Glenn Martens. Its tight, ruched zip bodice exploded into drop waist and frothing huge train, successfully bagging her the most fashion forward look of the night.

This year’s Academy Awards present the chance for a large number of landmark wins, from the first Sundance movie to win Best Picture to the youngest songwriting winner ever to the longest gap between wins by a composer.We’ll start our list with “CODA,” which could provide plenty of landmarks all by itself.If “CODA” wins Best Picture, it would become the first film to do so after premiering at the Sundance Film Festival. It would also be the first winner whose main cast is predominantly deaf.It would become the second film to win Best Picture without a Directors Guild nomination for its director, after “Driving Miss Daisy.”It would also become the first to ever win without Oscar nominations for either directing or film editing.And it would become the first movie with fewer than four total nominations to win Best Picture since “Grand Hotel” won with only a single nomination in 1932.If either Apple’s “CODA” or Netflix’s “The Power of the Dog” wins Best Picture, it will become the first film released by a streaming company to take that award.If Jane Campion wins the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for “The Power of the Dog,” she’ll become the first woman to win in both of the Oscar writing categories.

Chloe Zhao getting honest about the less than spectacular reviews and reactions about Eternals, which debuted just last year for Marvel.

No matter what your thoughts are on the content of the Marvel Studios film, “Eternals,” you can’t deny that the reviews were abysmal (a rarity for a MCU film or TV show) and fans were not pleased with the end result, either (proven by the low box office). This is especially disappointing when you consider that Oscar-winning filmmaker, Chloe Zhao, was at the helm of the film, which also sported an incredible all-star cast.

Tim Gray Senior Vice PresidentAs the March 27 Oscar ceremony looms, conversation has centered on the Academy’s decision to downgrade eight categories, their Twitter contest for fan favorites and their vaccination double-standard for attendees.In other words, while the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences could be shining a spotlight on the nominees, they’re instead shining a spotlight on the Academy. It’s too bad. The nominees are worth discussing, especially the enormous talent in the adapted-screenplay race.The contenders are Sian Heder, “CODA”; Ryusuke Hamaguchi and Takamasa Oe, “Drive My Car”; Jon Spaihts, Denis Villeneuve and Eric Roth, “Dune”; Maggie Gyllenhaal, “The Lost Daughter”; and Jane Campion, “The Power of the Dog.” The writers and their scripts are a study in contrasts.
