I thought about it, but I’d prefer that we all be friends around here. I don’t typically dismiss comment unless they’re super hostile. Still not seeing what’s weird or gross about commenting on the design of clothing that someone of whatever age wore to a public event and posed for pictures in. But whatever, man. If…

I’m not sure if they get extra money on top of that, but they’re certainly not paying for the expensive clothes they’re wearing.

Sigh. Larry. You’re better than this, buddy. We’re commenting on an article about how a young celebrity was dressed. If the sartorial choices of the people who attended last night’s Oscars isn’t something that interests you, fine. Go read and comment on a different article.

Yeah. It felt like they were rewarding Leo more for being part of a grueling film shoot than the actual performance.

Yeah. That one’s pretty [slang word meaning good that I’m too old to use] as well.

Well now you’re making it sound gross. 

She’s not a child. She’s 18. And I’m not policing what she wears. I’m just saying that if we’re going to make fun of celebrities clothing choices (which is half the fun of the Oscars), then she shouldn’t be immune. Her outfit was many orders of magnitude worse than Chalamet’s.

The 10-year-old actress from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Perhaps. I think it was ruined for me by the terrible meme based on it that I came across before I’d even heard the song. I think it was posted on here, actually? It was just people saying “I am _______” followed by Billie’s duh. It was ungood, even for a meme.

She’s a secret Sneaker Pimp.

Yes and no. It was a lot of grunting and grimacing, but he had like five lines. Not that counting lines is a good way to tell you how strong or important a performance is, as we’ve learned from Margot Robbie in OUTIH, actually. But Leo was kind of one-note in The Revenant. 

You don’t like it? Oh well.

Julia Butters isn’t a teen yet, but her dress was on point.

I certainly did. But she’s 18 and super wealthy/famous. Super wealthy/famous 18-year-olds get a stylist that will help them wear something less hideous that still reflects their personal style.

Same.

I actually think her music is pretty good. I could do without the “duh” part of “Bad Guy,” but it’s unique and fun. I really like “Bury a Friend.” It could be a 90s alt-rock/pop song.

Making a big deal out of your clothes and having a unique personal style is all well and good. Lady Gaga, for example, is great. Even the meat dress. It just saddens me that Billie has terrible taste.

A lot of people are saying the same about Phoenix this year. I can see both sides. It’s overly showy for my taste, the film is mediocre, and I’ve liked him much better in other movies, but it’s a unique, interesting performance and he really committed, so whatever.

True. It does come up a lot, but it’s usually positive. “She’s so brave. Look at her unique style.” As if she’s doing something innovative and fashion-forward and not dressing like a roadie for Mudvayne.
