After visiting a secret-religious-psycho-cannibal town, Joel and Ellie needed something good to happen in the season finale of HBO's The Last of Us. In last week's recap, I suggested that Ellie could fall in love again, or Joel could learn that the mushroom virus finally stopped spreading. Turns out, I was far too optimistic! But Episode Nine's horror didn't come from some new goopy, fungus creature—or even a David-esque new villain. It arrived from someone we knew all along. |

The actual Slap may have lasted just a millisecond–followed by Will Smith shouting "Keep my wife's name out of your f–ing mouth!" twice from his seat–but its impact has been monumental, not just for The Academy, which enlisted a new "crisis team" this year to prevent any similar incidents and changed the color of the red carpet to beige "to evoke calm and peacefulness," but for our culture writ large. The most shocking unscripted moment in live-television history since Janet Jackson's Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction" has become a Rorschach test, with observers bringing their own lived experiences into their interpretations of what happened between these two pop cultural icons. |

Can I get a drumroll, please? The night we've been waiting for was finally here—Oscars night, baby! It's been an overwhelmingly good year for movies, all leading up to the big show. But before the awards could even go down, we had to focus on the red carpet—a place where, no matter what happens inside, actors have a few minutes to shine, and the only way to lose is to wear a look that misses the mark entirely. But we're not focusing on those guys, right now; we're focusing on the very best menswear looks of the night, and these guys are sure as hell winners in our book. |
