Rita Moreno – she repeated the exact same dress she wore to an Oscar 56 years ago.
She told Ryan seacrest the fabric was made of Japanese prints and has kept well for so long. Hmmm, this thing called fashion, we just regurgitate the same old stuff.
The most awarded movies of the night were the shape of water and Dunkirk
The shape of water won four awards (best Picture, Directing, Original Score, and Production Design).
Dunkirk also won the night with three awards- (best film editing, best sound editing, and best sound mixing)
but these Oscar winning movies are not box office hits- Star wars the last Jedi, Beauty and the beast, wonder woman were the top three box office movies in 2017, but they were not even nominated.
Dunkirk is number 14 in box office, while shape of water is 48; apparently, the Oscar selections is done by movie professionals that feel they know more than the viewers

E News recruited an independent third party investigator who did not find sufficient evidence to back her claims. He was cleared of all wrong doing.
With Hollywood rising up strongly against all forms of sexual misconduct #metoo #timesup; there was no telling what would happen to seacrest red carpet.
Would he be avoided?
Would some celebrity he is interviewing bring it up the scandal
