It's that time of year again—the interminable month between the end of winter and the start of spring in earnest. It's also time for the 89th annual Academy Awards. Sure, everyone loves to see who looks bad, but let's take a few minutes and talk about who looks amazing.

Here (in no particular order) are the best dressed celebrities at the 2017 Oscars.

1. Taraji P. Henson

Taraji P. Henson was utter perfection in a custom Alberta Ferretti gown.

2. Kirsten Dunst

The best part about Kristen Dunst's custom Christian Dior gown is the pockets—the ideal place to carry your phone, car keys, and snacks.

3. Emma Stone

Emma Stone looks gorgeous in gold Givenchy.

4. Octavia Spencer

Octavia Spencer's silver Marchesa gown is reminiscent of classic Hollywood, said the woman at home in jeans with the crotch blown out.

5. David Oyelowo

David Oyelowo looking dapper AF in a black and white tuxedo.

6. Karlie Kloss

Karlie Kloss (who goes out with First Son-In-Law Jared Kushner's brother, Joshua) accessorized her Stella McCartney gown with an ACLU pin.

7. Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy Teigen is no stranger to the best dressed list. Here she's rocking a cool cape and some major leg slit in Zuhair Murad Couture.

8. Ruth Negga

Ruth Negga is absolutely stunning in a long-sleeve, high-neck custom Valentino gown.

9. Isabelle Huppert

Isabelle Huppert looked both chic and edgy in Armani Privé.

10. Janelle Monae

Janelle Monae looks like a queen at her first Oscar ceremony, wearing Elie Saab Haute Couture.

This season's hottest accessory, as debuted on the red carpet at the Academy Awards, is the blue ribbon. Celebrities are taking a stand a la Meryl Streep, reflecting the high stakes of today's political climate on their high fashion with a shout out to the ACLU, the American Civil Liberties Union.

There was no doubt that Hollywood's biggest night would get political, and the statements start on the red carpet.

Best Actress nominee Ruth Negga's stylist, Karla Welch, posted a close-up and a red carpet shot.

Hamilton and Moana's Lin-Manuel Miranda is rising up.

Karlie Kloss is sporting the ribbon on her hip. Fun fact: She is dating Joshua Kushner, aka Jared Kushner's brother and Ivanka Trump's mother-in-law. Her solidarity with the anti-Trump resistance is sure to make the Passover Seder awkward at the Kushners this year.

Last year's Best Actress winner, Brie Larson, previewed her flare on Instagram.

We've only just begun...wait until the statements go from dresses to speeches.

The 89th Annual Academy Awards are February 26th, also known as The Oscars, also known as the Roast of Donald Trump. It's a time to celebrate the grand tradition of cinema and see beautiful people in shiny outfits accept shiny trophies.

As the stars come out for Hollywood's biggest night, revel in the schadefreude of looking at glamorous people in bad outfits that cost as much as your home.

Scarlett Johansson

Cotton candy wallpaper meets punk stud belt is what that girl at her high school who only listened to "alternative" music wore to your prom.

Felicity Jones

Poor Jyn Erso could take on the empire but gets lost in a pile of tulle.

Dakota Johnson

The Fifty Shades star understandably wanted to cover up as much as possible, but the dress sadly looks like she sewed a napkin on her lap like she's gearing up for a messy meal.

Jessica Biel

An animal was definitely harmed in the making of that necklace.

Halle Berry

Her face and hair are true wonders of the world, but that is not a dress as much as it is a bunch of discarded silk scarves from rhythmic gymnasts.

Leslie Mann

This look was inspired by the dollop of mustard that comes next to a soft pretzel at a bar.

Hailee Steinfeld

Watercolor painting meets nipple pasties. Not the best combination.

Allison Schroeder

The brilliant screenwriter who brought us Hidden Figures sports clashing colors you can see from space.

Bianca Blanco

Are there speakers in the shoulders that go all the way up to her ears? Is she listening to a podcast?

Ryan Gosling

Is his inspiration 1970s Bar Mitzvah Boy or The Fluffy Shirt from Seinfeld?

Jimmy Kimmel takes on his enemies—Donald Trump and Matt Damon—in killer Oscar monologue.

Jimmy Kimmel kicked off the 2017 Oscars with a killer monologue that covered all the controversies from President Donald Trump, #OscarsSoWhite and "fake news."

After Wedding DJ Justin Timberlake warmed up the crowd with his Oscar-nominated song from Trolls, Kimmel came out guns a-blazin'.

“This is being watched live by millions of people in 225 countries that now hate us,” Kimmel joked. “I want to say thank you to President Trump. Remember last year when it seemed like the Oscars were racist? It’s gone thanks to him.”

A plea for togetherness in this polarizing time, the Jimmy Kimmel Live! host reached out to his foe, Matt Damon, patching things up before making a stellar fat joke.

While sticking it to Trump, Kimmel reached out to someone in need, the "highly overrated" Meryl Streep, whose decades of lackluster performances have long been ignored.

Kimmel also took on the films, joking, "What an amazing year for movies. Black people saved NASA & white people saved jazz! That’s what you call progress."

Trump sure has a lot to tweet about on the toilet.

The 89th Annual Academy Awards were an evening of glitz, glamor, and everything Donald Trump hates. Between Muslims winning, black artists thriving (YAS MOONLIGHT), Meryl Streep getting a standing ovation and liberal celebrities sharing their views, the 2017 Oscars were gloriously anti-Trump.

Here are Twitter's best takes.

Oscars 'In Memoriam' segment used a photo of a woman who's still alive.

The Oscars In Memoriam reel is almost guaranteed to make you cry. It basically wins the Academy Award for Oscars segments. But it made one woman sad for an especially important reason—her picture was in it, and she's very much alive.

This year's featured singer Sara Bareilles performing Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now." It also featured another mix-up (aside from Warren Beatty accidentally announcing the wrong film for the winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture)—a photo of Jan Chapman, an Australian producer who is not dead, for costume designer Janet Patterson, who sadly is.

Here's a look back at the actors we lost in 2016 and the beginning of 2017. (Bill Paxton, whose death was announced on Sunday, was honored by announcer Jennifer Aniston before Sara Bareilles performance.)

Tomi Lahren is going crazy because an Iranian man won an Oscar.

Iranian director Asghar Farhadi won his second Oscar for Best Foreign Film at the 2017 Oscars, this time for his movie The Salesman. To protest President Trump's travel ban on people from seven Muslim-majority countries, Farhadi boycotted the ceremony, and instead had a powerful statement read by Iranian-American astronaut Anousheh Ansari.

Naturally, this powerful moment did not sit well with racists.

Future Kellyanne Conway/fellow right-wing mouthpiece Tomi Lahren freaked the F out, and took the opportunity to spew nastiness on Twitter.

In addition to being a disgusting, racist generalization about the nation and people of Iran, it's a terribly constructed tweet.

There's more.

Twitter pointed out how the nastiness was also just inaccurate.

The sad snowflake was really bitter that she wasn't invited.

Tomi Lahren's tweet became an important moment of apology.

Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty announced the wrong winner for Best Picture at the Oscars.

Wait, what just happened? The 89th annual Academy Awards show was allllmost over, the winner for the final category, Best Picture, had been announced—and it was La La Land. The announcement was made by Faye Dunaway, who'd just been handed the card to read by an odd-seeming Warren Beatty. A lot of people probably turned off their TVs and went to bed.

But hold up—there was some sort of mix up, and the real winner was Moonlight.

Amid the La La Land celebration onstage, Beatty held up a slip of paper to the camera over the podium, reading "Moonlight." And thus the mistake was revealed. Well, Jimmy Kimmel did say at the end of the night that he (Kimmel, not Beatty) was going to screw up the show somehow, so maybe it was his fault?

Warren Beatty explained that the slip of paper in the card he was given read, "Emma Stone, La La Land." And he didn't even read it, Faye Dunaway did. Were there two slips of paper in the envelope? Or were they given the wrong envelope altogether?

The La La Land crew said they were happy to hand over the Oscar to Moonlight, but how terrible for La La Land! And how embarrassing for the show!

Either way, it really doesn't seem like Warren Beatty (or Faye Dunaway) did anything wrong. More information when we figure out what actually happened!

Update: February 27, 2017 8:30 a.m.

It seems that the mix-up happened because presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were given the wrong card. A close up of the envelope shows that they had the card for Best Actress, which had already been given, instead of Best Picture.

Last night's Oscars ceremony ended in an M. Night Shyamalan-esque twist when it was revealed that Moonlight won the Academy Award for Best Picture only after La La Land was first mistakenly announced. Who is to blame here? Warren Beatty? Faye Dunaway? A conniving PricewaterhouseCoopers intern who just wants to see the world burn? "Envelope Gate" will probably go down in history as the biggest blunder in Oscars history, but damn did it provide some quality tweets. Here is how the Twitter-verse reacted to the now-legendary flub.

Ryan Gosling lost the Oscar for Best Actor. Then his movie lost the Oscar for Best Picture, after apparently winning it. But Ryan Gosling is not a loser.

Ryan Gosling is a Winner, and his face decorated the internet like wallpaper Sunday night. Here are the nominees for best Ryan Gosling meme at the 2017 Oscars.

1. Whispering Ryan Gosling...

Affable prankster Jimmy Kimmel tricked some Hollywood tourists into walking unawares into the Oscars. One of the tourists met Ryan Gosling. Ryan Gosling whispered into her ear, becoming an instant favorite for this year's first nominee for best Ryan Gosling meme at the 2017 Oscars.

2. Giggling Ryan Gosling...

As you may have heard, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway ended up with the wrong card while announcing Best Picture. They dubbed La La Land the winner and everyone came to the stage before someone corrected them and dubbed Moonlight the actual Best Picture. There was confusion. There was chaos. There was Ryan Gosling.

3. Thinking Ryan Gosling...

Apparently, as Ryan Gosling lost Best Actor to noted subject of sexual harassment allegations Casey Affleck, Ryan Gosling made a face.

4. Staring Ryan Gosling...

When his costar Emma Stone won Best Actress, Ryan Gosling made another face. You get it.

And the winner is...

Sorry, no. It was Moonlight.

Oscar losers don't fake a smile nearly as well as I do all day at work.

Sleeping Chrissy Teigen unintentionally photobombed every celebrity during the Oscars.

Whether you loved Sunday night's 89th Academy Awards or hated every moment, you have to agree—that thing was long as hell. Even major celebrities in the audience were nodding off toward the end, but none of them passed out as hard as internet hero/supermodel Chrissy Teigen, who was dead to the world almost as soon as the show began.

And because she had such a great seat, the cameras kept catching her while panning to other celebrities for reaction shots. Every time, she was in the exact same position, drooling on husband John Legend's shoulder.

People had plenty of theories about the significance of her nap. Was it a subtle protest against Casey Affleck's best actor win?

Probably not. From her own social media, it seems like this was a pattern through the whole night.

Lucky Guillermo.

And what did Ms. Teigen think about becoming a meme yet again? We don't know—she only just found out about it.


Jimmy Kimmel brought his beef with Matt Damon to the Oscars last night and it was funny as hell.

Jimmy Kimmel's ongoing "feud" with Matt Damon continued at the 89th annual Oscars ceremony last night, and much to the delight of the audience, the evening's host hilariously slammed his frenemy multiple times during the broadcast.

"Tonight in the spirit of bringing people together, I would like to bury the hatchet with someone I've had issues with -- Matt Damon," said Kimmel in his opening monologue. "Now, Matt, I've known Matt for a long time. I've known Matt so long, when I first met Matt, I was the fat one."

But that was just the first burn of many as Kimmel's ongoing decade-long gag became the centerpiece of his hosting duties.

Best Picture Vominee Matt Damon #Oscars

A post shared by Jimmy Kimmel (@jimmykimmel) on

"He's a selfish person -- those of you who have worked with him know this. But Matt did something very unselfish and I want to commend him for it. Matt, as you probably know, could have starred in 'Manchester by the Sea.' ... But he didn't. He gave that role to Casey Affleck, his childhood friend," Kimmel continued. "He handed what turned out to be an Oscar-caliber role over to his friend and made a Chinese ponytail movie instead. And that movie, 'The Great Wall,' went on to lose $80 million."

Throughout last night's Academy Awards, the live show was broken up by pre-recorded clips of actors describing the movies that most influenced them. Kimmel got a chance to satirize the segment by describing his favorite movie, Damon's 2011 film We Bought a Zoo.

When Ben Affleck and Matt Damon took to the stage to present the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, Affleck was announced by name and Damon was labeled as "guest." As the two read the teleprompter, the orchestra, conducted by Kimmel, continually tried to play Damon off.

"You gotta be kidding me," Damon said. "I'm just presenting! You can't play me off."

"Listen, there are certain people who are winners and there are certain people that aren't. I put Matt in the latter category," said Jimmy Kimmel to the press. "I don't see him getting his grubby, overly moisturized little hands on an Oscar on Sunday night. And if he does, I'll be heartsick."

Even after all these years, this bit is still not stale. We can only hope that these two keep battling it out publicly for our enjoyment for years to come.

The real stars of the Oscars rode in on a tour bus.

Up until the Best Picture fiasco at the end of Sunday night's Oscars, the stars of the show were an unsuspecting group of Hollywood tourists that Jimmy Kimmel brought into the Dolby Theater on live television.

These folks were riding what they thought was just a regular old Hollywood tour bus, and that they were getting off the bus to see an exhibit of Oscars dresses and gowns. What they didn't know was that those gowns would be on actual celebrities.

The tourists were able to take selfies with the likes of Meryl Streep and Ryan Gosling and hold Mahershala Ali's Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Denzel Washington even "married" an engaged couple who said he was their favorite actor.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter had a lot of feelings about the tour bus bit.

Here's hoping this was enough to land Gary a hosting gig for the 2018 Oscars.

The most curious theories about Nicole Kidman clapping like an alien pretending to be a human.

At the Oscars in 2015, Nicole Kidman's clapping freaked people out. Here are two random tweets about it from two years ago:

At the 2017 Oscars Sunday night, Kidman was at it again, where "it" is the most bizarre, alien attempt at clapping anyone's ever seen.

Hmm. Why? Are her finger bones too fragile to slap into each other? Is... nope, that's the only theory I got. Let's turn it over to Twitter for some extremely reasonable hypotheses.

1. She learned from high society.

2. She's channeling Johnny Depp.

3. It's all a lie.

4. She's snacking.

5. She has salad fingers.

6. She's getting clean.

7. No one taught her!

8. She's an elf or a goblin.

9. She's a wax figure come to life, still integrating into human society.

Emma Stone weighs in on that 'La La Land' Oscar snafu.

This video shows Best Actress winner Emma Stone backstage after the 89th annual Academy Awards, talking to the press. In her comments, she mentions how much they all would have loved for La La Land to win the Oscar for Best Picture, but how excited they are for Moonlight(which Stone says she thinks is one of the best films of all time).

She also made a point of saying, "I also was holding my Best Actress in a Leading Role card that entire time. So whatever story—I don't mean to start stuff—but whatever story that was, I had that card. So I'm not sure what happened."

Emma Stone might have been trying to imply that Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway couldn't have had the wrong card, because she had it herself.

The thing is, there are actually two copies of each card, according to the LA Times. In a 2016 story, the paper explained:

In an undisclosed location, the partners tabulate votes and stuff two sets of winning envelopes, partly as another security measure and also to aid the show's flow. Stationed with their signature briefcases on opposite sides of the stage, either [PricewaterhouseCoopers partners, Brian] Cullinan or [Martha] Ruiz can dispense envelopes to presenters. At the end of the evening, each accountant will have given out about half of the envelopes.

And the third set? "There is no third 'set' sitting somewhere that has the winning cards in the winning envelopes,' Cullinan said. However, the remaining, unstuffed envelopes and nominee cards are shipped to a second secret location, just in case some disaster prevents access to the completed sets. After the ceremony, unused cards and envelopes are destroyed by an industrial document-destruction company.

In response to the Best Picture mix-up, Mahershala Ali said,

La La Land has done so well and has resonated with so many people, especially in this time when people need a sense of buoyancy in their life and need some hope and light. So that film has really impacted people, sort of in a very different way than Moonlight. When their name was read, I wasn't surprised. I was really happy for them. It's a group of some extraordinary people in front of the camera and behind the camera… And then when I did see security or people coming out onstage and their moment was being disrupted in some way, I got really worried. And then when Jordan Horowitz said, "Moonlight, you gus have won," it just threw me a bit. It threw me more than a bit. I just didn't want to go up there and take anything from somebody, you know? And that's very hard to feel joy in a moment like that, because somebody else… just, in front of them. But I feel very fortunate for all of us to have walked away with the Best Picture award. It's pretty remarkable.

Sammy Davis Jr. also read the wrong envelope at the 1964 Oscars, but played it off much better.

The Great Envelope Switch of 2017 is already a huge moment in the annals Oscar history, as La La Land's three minutes of Best Picture glory were quickly revealed to be a mistake. This wasn't the first time that envelopes got into the wrong hands. The Oscars suffered a similar screwup in 1964 when Sammy Davis Jr. (almost as big a jazz legend as Ryan Gosling) was presenting both the awards for Best Score (adaptation or treatment...those categories are now one).

Davis Jr. was given the wrong envelope when announcing for Adapted, revealing a spoiler for the next award. He played it off in a hilarious, playful, very Sammy Davis Jr. way.

"They gave me the wrong envelope? Wait until the NAACP hears about this," he jokes, before treating the audience to his repertoire of facial expressions.

Davis Jr. then whips out his glasses, saying, “I ain’t gonna make no mistake this time, baby.”

While an embarrassing snafu, Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty are in great company.
