We'll promise to wrap the coverage on the 88th Academy Awards tomorrow but there's still a few things to discuss. Consider this is a catch all place for beauties we didn't otherwise write entire posts on. There's much to parse, celebrate or just plain gawk at in this collection of photos starring Todd Haynes, Tom Hardy, Cate Blanchett, Alicia Vikander, and more after the jump...
The Muse(s)
Todd Haynes with BOTH of his muses. This is an incredibly rare sighting that only Oscar night could bring. For the record Cate Blanchett (Carol, I'm Not There) and Julianne Moore ([safe], Far From Heaven) have both headlined two Haynes pictures. Julianne has a third one on the way called Wonderstruck.
A Boy And His Dog
Apparently Tom Hardy has this picture of him and his doggie on the back of his cel phone case! Discovery by Kim Dadds. This may well be the cutest thing we've ever learned about Tom Hardy.
A Titanic Hug. They really gipped us on Kate/Leo moments at the Oscars -- especially during his speech -- but at least lucky photographers caught these gorgeous moment from the formerly drowning lovers.
Jacob Tremblay's Hot Dad. He continued to excite twitter's awards show base. I threw out a question online to ask if anyone knew what his job was. Quick responses prompted life change:
Daddy Tremblay is a police officer ?

Brie Larson's Man. The internet is all who is that? So here's what's going on. His name is Alex Greenwald. He's a musician. They've been dating for three years. He definitely babysits Brie's dog when she's travelling. He was looking fooyyynnne in his tux. And thank you to Price Peterson for explaining to us where we've seen him before: He sang the theme song to the TV show "The O.C." with his band Phantom Planet and he also used to star in Gap commercials as a singing model. Check it out:
The Taylor-Johnsons. The Quicksilver actor and his director wife were out and about at Vanity Fair's party. Still loving on each other publicly despite the world's judgy-ness about their age discrepancy. I only bring this up because you should check out the Vanity Fair PhotoBooth. It's cute.
Jennifer Garner and Melissa George are apparently friends
Jennifer Garner. Let us not speak of her latest gig (Miracles From Heaven looks terrible -- how soon until nutjobs start throwing their sick kids out of trees hoping for a similar Jesus intervention?) According to the Washington Post she smells like cucumbers. Here are my two delicious bits from their party coverage but read the whole thing...
Jennifer Garner is approaching and we mustn’t look too eager, mustn’t look needy, must ever so casually scooch over on the leather bench to show that there’s room here if she wants to sit — those strappy heels look so uncomfy, Jen — and finally, all at once, we’ve done it. Vanity Fair magazine’s current cover star folds up her ball gown and plops down next to us.
She smells like cucumbers, and America.
Les Miz reunion ! (but did Anne stroke his velvet tux?)
Eddie Redmayne, chatting with Captain America Chris Evans. They are intently stroking each other’s tuxes. Eddie’s looks like it is made of velvet, and he is saying “Shut up! Shut uppp!” but in a delightful British way. Must stare instead at Adrien Brody, with some sort of Frenchy silk scarf wrapped around his neck as he periodically claps along to Michael Jackson, or at best-actor nominee Bryan Cranston, who is explaining, “It’s satin,” as someone else fingers his jacket sleeve. Rampant tux-stroking — is this a thing?
Jess ♥ Look at how many hair and makeup people it takes to get Jessica Chastain ready!
Sam Smith. Making out with his Oscar. As one does. My friends and I have not stopped laughing about that deliciously catty drama with Dustin Lance Black (Milk) that ensued after he got his Oscar stats wrong...
BYEEEEEEE
Vulture and Pop Sugar have other fun Oscar photos here and here
