Guys, it's Oscar Day 2016 and, to wrap up our series on what it's like to cover pop culture/celebrity/red carpet fashion as a career choice, we have none other than my former partner in crime - Christopher Turner (@Turnstylin). Christopher and I go way back. We used to pen a Style Winners & Losers column together and even appeared on a TV show. And NOW well ... we still spend a lot of time talking about celebrities and their clothes.
Anna Kendrick, Sunstroke & Soderbergh - OH MY
Norman Wilner is the senior film writer for NOW Magazine and the host of that new podcast you like, Someone Else's Movie. He lives in Toronto. More importantly, he used to work with PrincessoftheInternet in my old life in Toronto. And once he went to England for work and brought me back Licorice All Sorts WHICH I LOVE even though he was allergic to them (I think? Am I misremembering that?) but then I never got the chance to eat them because I moved back to the Maritimes before we could connect. This week he talks to us about Celebrity Culture & Awards Season!
Dresses! Drama! George Clooney! Oh My!
PrincessoftheInternet is super pleased to welcome Jen McDonnell as our second guest star in our celebrity pop culture Q&A series. (You can read part one with Kevin Naulls here.)
We go way, way back with Jen and together we share a special fondness for Gilmore Girls, George Clooney and general celeb gossipness.
Here's her awards season view of the world:
Awards Season Celebrity Pop Culture Mayhem - Pt 1
I've been covering awards and celebrity culture for years, since 1999 in fact. In that time I've been lucky enough to cross paths with fellow pop culture watchers who make me laugh and can add insight to the ridiculous. So a few of them are getting special treatment on PrincessoftheInternet this season.
First up? Kevin Naulls. Kevin and I meet up (virtually) during awards show to dish the dirt on celebrity fashion. Plus, he basically has the funniest Facebook posts in the world, so he seemed like the perfect first guest. (Sometimes he uses swears, so if you've got delicate sensibilities ... um ... oh well?)

Why You Should Invite Me to the Oscars, Academy
People want someone to #AskHerMore on the red carpet. That's cool with me. I would like to respectfully suggest the Academy invite me to this year's main event. Here are some of the potential questions I have prepared. As you can see, my questions are designed to provide thoughtful and interesting responses. My fee will be utterly reasonable and my clothing and beauty allowance will not be astronomical.
