LOVE NEIL PATRICK HARRIS BUT OSCARS HAD NO STEAM

Image
**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER Story By: G. H. HARDING **** Neil Patrick Harris OSCARS 87 --- I’m feeling a bit meh about last night’s Oscars presentation. I love Neil Patrick Harris - his Hedwig was unquestionably one of the best things I've ever seen on stage - but, with a musical monologue beginning last night’s show – which reminded me more or less of Rob Lowe’s disastrous turn with Snow White years back- the show never really picked up any steam. Let’s face it: last year’s show with Ellen DeGeneres in the host post was simply stupendous … and, her so-called selfie resonated around the world. Harris predicted an even bigger stunt and it turned out to be his pre-show predictions of who would win and what would happen. With his answers encased in a briefcase in a lucite case on stage, it was tricky and at times awkward stunt that proved funny … but, certainly not the world-wide attention that Ellen's photo had garnered. Harris was good, d...

JESSICA CHASTAIN'S KRISTOFER BUCKLE OSCAR LOOKS

Image
**** The 87th Academy Awards **** Jessica Chastain Kiehl’s had the honor of helping Kristofer Buckle make Jessica Chastain positively luminous this evening for OSCARS 2015. Makeup by Kristofer Buckle for Kiehl’s “Before we began, I applied a layer of Kiehl’s Creme De Corps to make sure Jessica’s arms, legs, and décolletage were as flawless as her face. Applying the lotion first gave it plenty of time to absorb.” “All makeup application needs a great base, so I prepped Jessica's skin with Kiehl's Hydro Plumping Re-texturizing Serum. It works wonders as a primer and is extremely moisturizing. I then added a thin layer of Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream, and applied Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment With Avocado around her eyes. This was followed by Kiehl's BB Cream in Light - Jessica is very fair, so it's crucial to have both the right amount of coverage and SPF 50 all in one product.” "I then used my Kristofer Buckle Alw...

**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER Story By: G. H. HARDING **** Jared Leto OSCAR NOTES --- Voting for the 86th Annual Academy Awards closed Tuesday at 5 PM PST. The show is this Sunday (with L.A. under a heavy rain alert too!) with hostess Ellen DeGeneres. One of the best prognosticators in the industry, Deadline’ Pete Hammond, had these most prescient thoughts: Jennifer Lawrence “With no real clarity from the usually reliable guild contests and critics’ awards, the best picture race is one of the most unpredictable in years. Considering the preferential Oscar voting system, it is not probable there will be a winner on the first ballot because it’s unlikely any film in this great year for films will be able to muster more than 50% of the first-place votes required. The second choice on those best picture ballots could end up being the most important. The top three contenders—12 Years A Slave, American Hustle and Gravity—are in a real dog fight, which means a dar...
