The discipline and the work ethic I'm bringing to these things, I don't want people to take for granted. I don't want to take for granted. This is really some top level shit
Teddy Van Halen
of real talk about fake people. Joining us on set in studio, our favorite celebrity reporter, gossip reporter extraordinaire, Rob Shooter. Subscribe to his substack Naughty But Nice. His book It's Started with a Whisper is available for pre order now. We've also got Kinsey Schofield all the way from la, just for the nerves, Oscar coverage, host of the Must subscribe, Kinsey Schofield, unfiltered. And of course, my co host, Teddy Van Halen, the real star in his best tuxedo. Tonight's livestream. Before we get to it, we have an opening that we must get to first. Let's do it. Oh, Marlene's telling me she can't. Okay, so tonight's livestream is sponsored by Zebiotics Pre Alcohol. This is a great product to have handy on an evening like tonight. Timothee Chalamet should have really availed himself because I think he's going to be drinking his sorrows away. Okay, if you're watching, if you're having an Oscars watch party or just watching us, you may want to have a drink but hesitate because you think, what's gonna happen to me tomorrow? I don't bounce back like I used to have. Zebiotic before you go out drinking responsibly and the next day you will feel not a thing. Now, before we get started, I would like to acknowledge. Who am I acknowledging? Stephen Graham. Say we have not given up. Oh, Stedman. It's Stedman Graham. I'm like Steven Graham. Am I talking about adolescence right now? Stedman, we are keeping you at the forefront of our mind and each of us have in front of us a little. I don't have my pin.
Kinsey Schofield
Yours is behind your computer.
Teddy Van Halen
Oh, thank you. I have my live stream going. We have our Stedman Jim Curtis butterfly pins which we are wearing to just make sure. Well, Teddy, why don't you wear mine for now. I have a lot of pearls on my top. Okay, so. So we're wearing our In Memoriam Stedman pins. We will never, never give up the search for his remains. Okay, Kinsey and Rob, how are you guys feeling tonight? And by the way, Rob has some intel on Timothay Shyamalama Ding Dong, who it seems is not walking the red carpet tonight. Talk to us, Rob, coming straight from
Rob Shooter
la, so keep calling me, everybody on that red Carpet.
Teddy Van Halen
The.
Rob Shooter
There's been talks all day about whether or not he should walk the red carpet tonight. I was told an hour ago the decision was made that he'd probably go in through the side door. He might surprise us. I think we've got another 20 minutes or so. But this is the reason he's going to get asked about all the silly things he said on all the comments, and he just doesn't want to talk about it. Also, too, the Oscars is the worst red carpet of the season because the celebrities don't want to do it and they don't have to do it because all the voting is over now. Award season's over. So all those other carpets, the SAG Awards and the Golden Globes, they put on a show. And so it's much more fun to be on that carpet tonight. They have a little bit of an attitude. Like, tonight, if you notice people, they're not going to be sparkling quite as bright. And it's because they think now that the voting's in and they don't need to do it. So, Timothy, I don't think we're going to see him on the carpet.
Teddy Van Halen
You know, I would like to think that there would be an entertainment journalist who would have the guts to ask him, hey, Timothy, do you really think you're capable of top level shit? We have no shortage of poop on this set, okay? And this little guy says, positive poo. In a world full of turds, be the one who makes a splash, okay? I mean, Teddy makes smaller poops than that, but, you know, I just don't think anybody really would have the guts to ask him. But I gotta say, I gotta say we think that the Nerve has been moving the culture because this guy's chances are in the past 10 days went from like a sure thing to he really might go home empty handed.
Rob Shooter
Yeah, it's really there. Honestly, a week ago, two weeks ago, this was his award. And I love you, Maureen. I love doing your show, but I was like, we're gonna have to talk about an Oscar winner in two or three weeks. It's on the edge now. It might not happen.
Teddy Van Halen
It might not happen. I mean, I recall telling the troublemakers in A Nerve not too long ago that we all just had to brace for it, that it was going to be an inevitability. We were going to live in a world where we would hear the words, timothy Shyamalan, ding dong Oscar winner, but we might actually have a reprieve. Kinsey, your thoughts on this?
Kinsey Schofield
I mean, my concern Is that the interview that really, I think heard him regarding the ballet and the, the opera singers where he said, like, I don't, I don't. I'm glad I'm not in this and industry that nobody cares about. That was published on March 5 and that's when the Oscar voting stopped. So I think if they were annoyed with the campaign in general where he leaks the fake marketing strategy on, on Zoom, and if they're annoyed with that in general, I think that he won't win. But if we're betting on him losing, based on recent comments, I think we might have missed the mark. I don't know. He's annoying too.
Rob Shooter
He is annoying. I felt about a week before that comment when the voting was still happening. The tide turned. Something happened. I blame you, Maureen.
Teddy Van Halen
Something, something flame or credit Tomato Zomato. Know what I'm saying?
Rob Shooter
And so something was happening. And the arrogance and the fact that he did not turn up at the events, he was not there at the
Teddy Van Halen
Oscar breakfast at the luncheon. Right. And that you have to play, you have to show that you feel honored, that this is a thing that really matters to you.
Rob Shooter
And I think of all people, Chelsea Handler, who often says really cutting but truthful things, said that the way he talks about the awards and being an actor, it's so off putting and would never, ever hear Leonardo DiCaprio talk like this.
Teddy Van Halen
Never.
Rob Shooter
It's just a different way. And I think when she called him out, a light bulb went off. And I think we all said, she's right. There's something really not quite, quite there. So I think his youth, I don't think Daytona Kardashian Jenner has helped.
Teddy Van Halen
No arrogance.
Rob Shooter
And then that comment confirmed what we all feared. I was still a little on the fence with him. I could have gone either way.
Teddy Van Halen
Right.
Rob Shooter
And I thought, you know, maybe he's just young and silly and. But he is a great actor. That comment told me it's all a lie.
Teddy Van Halen
But what, what did it for me too was watching the actor awards and seeing Michael B. Jordan pull off what seemed like an upset. That's actors voting for askers. Sorry, Actors voting for actors. Not only did he win, that room gave him a standing ovation, which I thought was an F you to Timothy. And then after he made that remark about the ballet and opera, even though his mother and sister, I believe maybe grandmother, have danced in the ballet, but the Oscars then immediately invited the retired prima ballerina from the New York City Ballet, Misty Copeland.
Rob Shooter
She's there tonight.
Teddy Van Halen
She's on the red carpet, which is another F you to Timothy. She's gonna be performing. So, I mean, this whole. This is the big question that's gonna hang over the night, this end. What kind of a tribute do they do to Rob Reiner? Because I would like to say that what I find, like, kind of, you know, we talk a lot about this sort of more ghoulish aspect of Hollywood, the sadistic aspect of Hollywood, the darker one. Only. Only the Oscars would have as its host the person who last presided over a holiday party in which one of the guests went home to slaughter his parents in a bloody rage. And was asked at the party reportedly, hey, I think we should call the cops. This guy's freaking everybody out. And that host said no. And who's presiding over the Oscars tonight? Conan o'. Brien.
Kinsey Schofield
So wild. Better than Jimmy Kimmel, though. Will I just say that? I know he. I know Jimmy Kimmel's going to be there presenting something, but I'm so over Kimmel. Also, can we have a girl moment?
Rob Shooter
Yes, that'd be great.
Teddy Van Halen
Do I have a little lipstick?
Rob Shooter
It's so interesting you say that, because I think the takeaway that many people have is that Rob and Michelle were at his house the night before, but also Nick was there, the alleged murderer. That's what I mean.
Teddy Van Halen
That's what I mean.
Rob Shooter
You know, it's so easy to talk about Rob and Michelle's last night, but if we talk about that, we've also got to talk about potentially there's a murderer that was at that party.
Kinsey Schofield
And for him to do tonight everywhere,
Rob Shooter
and for him to do it, I think I would have had to drop out or I don't know how they're going to handle this. There's also another big tribute we know that's going to happen, which is Robert Redford.
Teddy Van Halen
And is it going to be big? That, to me, is another question we keep hearing. The reports were Barbra Streisand was going to sing the Way We Were. It was going to be. I mean, we lost so many greats this year. Diane Keaton, Brigitte Pardo. But, you know, Robert Redford occupies a very special place. I don't mean to ignore Val. I mean, Kinsey's Ride or die for Val. But. But Robert Redford, who gave so much, was a true. This is a dying figure in the culture. A movie star founded Sundance. I'm gonna tell you, 90% of the people in that room up for Oscars would not be there without Robert Redford. And the Sundance Institute just Saying, yeah, yeah.
Rob Shooter
He wasn't just a great actor, he was a great filmmaker. He loved the art of filmmaking. He gave back. He's a real, real hero. And I, I think there'll be a big tribute tonight. The question is, will Barbara sing? I'm told that it could go either way. That she's Barbara.
Kinsey Schofield
She's 84.
Rob Shooter
She's 84. And she's difficult. On a good day.
Teddy Van Halen
On a good day, can you imagine
Rob Shooter
what it's like to have. You don't just call up Barbara and say, do you want to sing? You have to do hair and makeup and the lighting and the directing. You know, she's tortured them all week.
Teddy Van Halen
Fun fact. Do you remember when she directed the Prince of Tides with Nick Anolte and she played his psychotherapist? And the nails, everybody was like, no therapist would have. Like, they were coffin nails. And then like the, the lens was smeared in Vaseline and she's like Mariah Carey. She can only be shot from one side. So it's like, to your point, Rob, it's like, do you want to sing? Well, do they want her to sing? Because it's going to be like two weeks of lighting and filters and camera angles. Like, she's, She's a lot.
Kinsey Schofield
She's a lot demo. Like, Rob and I were talking, they got the Chicken Shop Girl on the, The ABC official carpet has the Chicken
Teddy Van Halen
Shop Girl, where you go explain that
Kinsey Schofield
she's a, she's a podcaster and a YouTuber. And the, the, the gig is that you go on a date with her and you eat chicken. And so, like, that's Barbara, unfortunately, and I don't mean this in a disrespectful way, it ain't the demo, right? So it's either, like, you're going to. And I'm seeing so many influencers and like, why are we talking about the end of Outer Banks on the red carpet at the Oscars? Like, they're clearly pursuing the younger demo, but at the same time, if we're really talking about Hollywood icons, we're not going to have very many opportunities to throw Barb on the stage in the future. So, like, take advantage of this.
Rob Shooter
Like the Liza Minnelli Lady Gaga, they team them up, don't they? I think that's a good idea to pull out one of the old time legend stars and team them up with, with a, with a younger star.
Teddy Van Halen
Tik Toky was unpunished because Liza, in her memo just talked a bunch of about Lady Gaga and how they made her look like an infirm, like, crazy lady. All meds up.
Rob Shooter
Like, blamed Gaga for this.
Teddy Van Halen
Yeah. I mean, it. Blamed the academy. Blame the producers. All right, let's take a look at some of the stars who have alighted on the red carpet or what are passing from. Actually, the first one we're going to look at is not on the red carpet. Rob and Kinsey and I were just talking about this. But she did post an image to social media. It's Kylie Jenner, who clearly is going to be Timothy's date for the evening. We're waiting to see if we've got Kylie. Okay. In the meantime, let's take a look at Demi Moore. Okay. We should be able to see Demi.
Kinsey Schofield
Let's hope she's had a sandwich.
Teddy Van Halen
I mean. Yeah, I don't know. How are we doing with our looks?
Kinsey Schofield
I see only an older picture of Demi right now.
Rob Shooter
We'll find her. We'll find her.
Teddy Van Halen
We'll find her. We're watching them come in now as we talk. And we're looking right now at Teyana Taylor, who's another one who. I think as we wait for Demi. Rob, talk to me about Teyana Taylor's.
Rob Shooter
It's her. I mean, like, she's exploded this year. This is her moment. The movie has made her, I think, a much bigger star. People that didn't know her really before, a lot of people were not that familiar with her work. She's really, really popped on this, and I think she's kept it real. She's sexy, she's fun, she's young. And I think that this year set her up for great success. It's always difficult, isn't it? Because when you have a really good year, you gotta have another good year. And so now the question is, is what is she gonna. What is she gonna do next? And so it's make or break moment. I think, for her.
Teddy Van Halen
I'm having a feeling, much like I did about the one who won for Anora last year, Mikey Madison. What has she done since then? We haven't seen her in anything.
Rob Shooter
I know. Yeah.
Teddy Van Halen
And she was all over the place last awards season. So I have a. I have a feel like there's something. Tiana, to me, is the female version of Timothy in that it feels very graspy. It feels like she needs this too much. It's too desperate. We're looking. Ethan Hawke is on the red carpet. Ethan's playing the game. Silver Fox, New Yorker Ethan Hawke. Like, this guy, he's not gonna win tonight. And it's such A shame he's getting robbed. I think he had the best male performance of the year in Blue Moon, hands down.
Kinsey Schofield
And he's been. He's changed his page position when it comes to talking about politics. And that felt strangely like a pursuit of a trophy. Glory to me because he's in the past been very outspoken about politics.
Rob Shooter
This.
Teddy Van Halen
Oh, yeah, he's kept his mouth shut. He has.
Rob Shooter
This for me was the performance of the year. I know we're talking about Michael B. Jordan a lot and Timothy. However, for me, it's Ethan's award. He's not going to win, but he should win. And I think that he's a real actor. The sources that I have that are real actors, they love him. He's an actor's actor. Is that the word I'm trying to look for? He's an actor's actor. And look at him, too. He's so dapper and he's fashion forward. And I think he's there to have a good night. He knows it's not gonna be his night to win, but he's one of those people that I think just being nominated really is enough because he's back in the conversation. We're talking about him.
Kinsey Schofield
Remember at the BAFTAs when he lost? I'm so sorry that I don't know the guy's name that won, but the guy that won got up there and was like, Ethan Hawke came and spoke to my class. The camera goes to Ethan Hawke, and he looks like he's gonna sob. And then you can see he looks around him and he goes, that's better than winning. So when you talk about being an actor's actor, you know, he is. He has such a pure heart. I'd tongue kiss him in a heartbeat. I know he prefers the nannies or whatever.
Teddy Van Halen
You missed your window in 90s New York, say, wish I had, but.
Kinsey Schofield
But, yeah, I love him, too.
Teddy Van Halen
Yeah, he's the best. And, you know, I was just talking to our dp, Dave. We were talking movies a little bit before we went live. And I was saying that Ethan Hawke in First Reformed is a performance for the ages as well. He's the real deal.
Rob Shooter
He's the real deal. You know, he's probably not the most easy guy. I'm sure he's a pain in the bottom like Sean Penn is. But they are real actors. They make what Timothy's doing look like amateur hour. And he would never, ever be arrogant enough to talk about the art of acting the way Timothy does. And he's got the right to Talk about it. If anybody should be talking about acting, it should be him. And he's not.
Teddy Van Halen
You know what Ethan does talk about a lot, which I, which I really enjoy as a creative person. He just talks about the arts.
Rob Shooter
Yeah, he does.
Teddy Van Halen
And he talks about it in a very down to earth, relatable way in what the arts offer us all and what they give us all when they're done. Right. He seems to have a real sense of proportion about what he does for a living. Again, unlike, you know, now, Sean Penn, who I would love if we're going to show our the nerve, has two of our own nominees tonight, two of our own categories. Okay. And we'll get to Sean in a moment. But he, he's in one battle after another. The key scene involving Sean Penn. I'm not making this up. It's not hyperbole for, for, for laughs. He gets a gun rammed up his ass during sex.
Kinsey Schofield
Oh, my God.
Teddy Van Halen
Oh, Kinsey, I'm sorry. Kinsey. Kinsey is like the, she's, she's one of the sweetest, most wholesome. Like if a, if a curse word slips out of her mouth, she's like, oh, my God, oh my God, oh my God. But Kinsey, this. I take it you didn't see the movie. I take it you didn't see the movie.
Rob Shooter
This, this ass work might win him another Oscar. I think he's got two already. He's probably going to win tonight. I think this is going to be his third Oscar. He does disappear, though, into characters. Like, he looks so unbelievable.
Kinsey Schofield
So are you saying he's method and there was a gun actually in his B hole?
Teddy Van Halen
Because that is, you know, I was, we were trying to figure out the make and model of the gun because then you want it, you want to figure out the width of the barrel and like the amount of lubrication probably needed. But I mean, I have to because this is the film that's going to win. If it's not Sinners, it's gonna be One Battle after another is Best Picture. I think that Paul Thomas Anderson, director of One Battle After Another is a lock for best director. And you know, by the way, not for nothing, but we just read the lamentations of one Harvey Weinstein in the Hollywood Reporter, you know, days before the Oscars. But what do you think? Like, he was a genius when it came to marketing movies.
Rob Shooter
He invented this. He invented this campaign. There was no something. You know, people schmoozed and they wanted the awards. Harvey came along and invented the art of campaigning. It didn't exist. He invented the parties. He invented the schmear campaigns. Like he was out there saying mean things about other films. He was the first one that came along with independent type movies and started to win before the Oscars were always blockbuster type movies. The Gone with the Winds, the Cleopatras, the Ben Hurs.
Teddy Van Halen
These were the epics.
Rob Shooter
The epics.
Teddy Van Halen
The epics.
Rob Shooter
And Hardy came along and changed the game.
Teddy Van Halen
He made the smaller movies, the ones of high value.
Kinsey Schofield
Well, I kind of resent that. I miss when it was like, I mean.
Teddy Van Halen
Oh, I do too.
Kinsey Schofield
I'm sorry. But Tom Cruise should have one, right?
Rob Shooter
Tom Cruise should have an Oscar.
Teddy Van Halen
He should have an Oscar.
Kinsey Schofield
Tom Cruise.
Teddy Van Halen
Tom Cruise, who Steven Spielberg said after Covid, when Top Gun hit theater, said you saved the movie industry single handedly. He did.
Rob Shooter
He did.
Teddy Van Halen
Is that Timothy? We need to get Timothy up on screen asap. Marlena. Asap. He is there. He is all in white. He does not. He looks. He looks tempered by which I mean, he looks like he thinks he has a shot not to win. Let's get him up as soon as we humanly can. I have lost my earpiece, by the way.
Kinsey Schofield
I have to tell you guys.
Teddy Van Halen
My earpiece.
Kinsey Schofield
I'm. I'm glad that he didn't shave his face for the Oscars because I shaved my face tonight.
Teddy Van Halen
So at least one Kinsey. At least one.
Rob Shooter
It's shocking. There he is on the carpet. This is a good call, I think. I don't think he's going to do any interviews. I will predict he'll just do photographs and walk in. I hear. Who's that there? Is that.
Kinsey Schofield
It looks like Josh Groban.
Rob Shooter
Josh Groban, I hear.
Teddy Van Halen
Okay, what's a backup? Yeah, we've got troublemaker feedback. Timothy Chalamet. I hate him. Yes, Tom Cruise should have an Oscar. Can you show the stars? Yes, we are working on it. We're having technical difficulties. Something is in retrograde. Retrograde until the 21st.
Kinsey Schofield
It is until the 21st.
Teddy Van Halen
We are having like. People were having trouble getting into the studio. It's wild. Okay, my IFB is back on. Okay. Timothy brought his inflatable doll. You guys are savage. Fix the sound.
Kinsey Schofield
Oh, my gosh. He's wearing sunglasses at night. Inside. Timothy is.
Teddy Van Halen
Oh, my God. He's wearing. He's. He's swaggering around in sunglasses.
Rob Shooter
So he's posed.
Teddy Van Halen
Oh, Leo's in sunglasses too. Oh, Leo's. His transformation into Jack Nicholson like a gone to seed pot bellied sleazy sleaze. Jack Nicholson. Leo, pull yourself back from the brink, man. You're the last one we've got. You're the last real movie star we've got. He's gotta do it for the rest of us.
Kinsey Schofield
And stay off TikTok because that's also a way to know that you're not a movie star.
Rob Shooter
Timothy's a shock. I'm glad he's there. He does look though, Maureen. You are right. He does look a little nervous.
Kinsey Schofield
Gwen looks unreal. Gwyneth looks amazing.
Teddy Van Halen
Gwyneth is in white as well. You know what this is? We need to see these. We're waiting for our tech team to get these looks on camera. I apologize to the troublemakers. I really do. We're working very hard, Gwyneth, right now. This is a Carolyn Bessette Kennedy Look. 100% Absolutely what she's doing. It looks like a white silky. It's very evocative of 90s Calvin Klein minimalism. She's got the hair straight, straight parted down the middle. That. That icy blonde. Like she got a touch up. Gwyneth Paltrow. Marlena, we want Timothy and we want Gwyneth. Tell me when they're coming in.
Kinsey Schofield
I also think that she's recreating a little bit her Ralph Lauren pink look though. Right. Remember when she did the pink. The pink dress that Ralph Lauren made.
Teddy Van Halen
Yes. But did not fit her properly.
Rob Shooter
Yes, I think you're right. I think that it's a real Karen in pursuit set look. And we were talking about Leo. You don't want to be Jack Nicholson. You want to be Carolyn Bessette. Like if you're going to pick somebody.
Teddy Van Halen
Oh, look, it's a chicken shop girl choice.
Rob Shooter
That's a good choice. Here they are.
Teddy Van Halen
Yeah, there's Gwyneth in the bottom screen again. Going to get her up as soon as possible.
Rob Shooter
And that dress is fitted within an inch of its life. Look at the fit on it. Gwyneth's had issues in the past with fit.
Teddy Van Halen
She has.
Rob Shooter
That looks great. Right?
Kinsey Schofield
Jason Bateman.
Teddy Van Halen
Heathen Jason Bateman, who I believe has one of the worst hair pieces in the industry. Yeah. A 50 something year old man does not have hair that thick right on the top of his head. I just. Oh, Anna, Anna.
Rob Shooter
It has sunglasses too.
Teddy Van Halen
I want to see Anna as well. Okay, wait, we're having sound issues. Some people are saying they can't hear the panel.
Kinsey Schofield
Oh, what's true?
Teddy Van Halen
Troublemakers. You're having trouble hearing us.
Kinsey Schofield
Sorry, I sound very delicate in real life.
Teddy Van Halen
Oh, okay. So definitely move that mic in A little bit. Rob, a troublemaker, says your hair needs an Oscar. They are having trouble hearing Kinsey and Rob.
Rob Shooter
We shall move in. We can lean in.
Kinsey Schofield
We'll lean in, and we'll kiss. I'm just kidding. Like Harry Styles.
Teddy Van Halen
Let's get another mic in here, please. Okay. Timothy is coming up very soon. Any minute. Marlena, I see his feet.
Kinsey Schofield
Oh, there he is.
Teddy Van Halen
He's coming in.
Rob Shooter
It's a good tease. Just.
Teddy Van Halen
Okay, let's get the camera up, guys. Okay. There he is. He looks like a giant marshmallow.
Rob Shooter
He does. Does. And you have to remember this is a historic night. When you get dressed for the Oscars, you think, is this the outfit I'm gonna be winning an Oscar in?
Teddy Van Halen
You absolutely think that. It's an image that you hope forever will. Exactly. Exactly.
Rob Shooter
So he's decided that if he wins tonight, that's how he wants to.
Teddy Van Halen
To be remembered in a bedsheet.
Rob Shooter
It's his choice, but I just think that that tells you a lot about who he is, too, and it's fascinating. I don't know how I'd feel if I was Kylie Jenner, who's clearly been told, you're going through the side door tonight. I'm not walking in with you. And arguably, he could do it tonight. The voting's over. She's not gonna offend anybody. If he turned up with Kylie Jenner. It's gonna be a little tricky later on in the evening, too, because it's Vanity Fair's big party, and he's gonna have to go with Kylie, who's almost the host, because she's. She's on the COVID of Vanity Fair this month. Right. And so she's almost the unofficial host. And if he doesn't win, that's gonna be a very awkward night. When they turn up together at that party, he might go home.
Teddy Van Halen
Marlena, can we see Kylie, please? Yeah, we need to be, because Kylie. We want Kylie in the red. We're seeing her right here.
Rob Shooter
Oh, yeah, right. So she posted this on her social media as a tease. She knew she wasn't going to be invited to the red carpet. She knew she wasn't doing that. And instead of just turning up and sitting down in her seat, she put out her own image. So she clearly wants the.
Teddy Van Halen
Waiting for it to come up. We're not seeing it here. Are you guys seeing that? There we go. There we go. That's what she posted.
Kinsey Schofield
Dirty pillows.
Teddy Van Halen
Okay, there she is.
Kinsey Schofield
You motorboat. And Son of a bitch. That's all I have to say.
Teddy Van Halen
See this is the one of the weirdest pairings to me, first of all. So he's all in white.
Kinsey Schofield
Yeah.
Teddy Van Halen
She looks. She's all in this shiny red. It looks like there's going to be color transfer the minute she, like, goes to embrace him and he's going to like, you know what I mean?
Rob Shooter
It's like putting a sock in the washing machine with your.
Kinsey Schofield
Wow.
Teddy Van Halen
Exactly.
Rob Shooter
One of those red socks in my washing.
Teddy Van Halen
We're done with Kylie. She can go now.
Kinsey Schofield
Good versus evil, though.
Teddy Van Halen
Like, well, like naughty and siren.
Kinsey Schofield
Naughty and ice.
Rob Shooter
Do you think that, though, she could have let him have his moment and not posted that? Did she really have to post that?
Teddy Van Halen
She did.
Rob Shooter
She did.
Teddy Van Halen
Malignant narcissists. Like, there's just no, there's no dealing with them. Malignant narcissist.
Rob Shooter
They're both nursing.
Teddy Van Halen
It's her night. It's a coronation for her. Right. Because getting the COVID of Vanity Fair, she's like, she's like, now I'm embraced by Hollywood. I'm going to be at my boyfriend is going to be potentially the best
Kinsey Schofield
actor tonight where she says she's gonna become an actress.
Rob Shooter
What?
Teddy Van Halen
Well, Kim's already there and it's awful. It's awful.
Kinsey Schofield
Hollywood is a group of masochists. But really, do we need another one?
Teddy Van Halen
No, we don't. But it's like the other thing I'll say about Kylie and Timothy before we get to Gwyneth, who is hopefully on the way. Marlena, telling me she's on the way. I just said to. I said, I said to rob that like on my deathbed, I'll be yelling, marlena, Marlena, just fix one more thing. Marlena. She just said to me, she's already dead right now with all of our technical issues. But Kylie Jenner looks like a blow up sex doll.
Rob Shooter
She does.
Teddy Van Halen
She looks like a.
Rob Shooter
And she wants to look like a blow up. That's what she shot. Those body parts she wants.
Teddy Van Halen
She got a head transplant.
Rob Shooter
She didn't fall out of bed looking like that. She tried really hard to look like that.
Kinsey Schofield
Right.
Rob Shooter
That's what she decided.
Kinsey Schofield
Do you remember when she told us she hadn't had her lips done and then proceeded to slip sell a lip kit so that we could all line our lips like her? And then she's like, just kidding. I had my lips done.
Teddy Van Halen
Well, it's just like her sister Kendall. I grew into my nose. Go look at Kendall's original face. There's no resemblance to the current face.
Kinsey Schofield
I seriously considered taking that acne medicine. I was like, well, maybe I could shrink my nose, too.
Rob Shooter
I worked for Ashlee Simpson for a while, and it's when she had her nose dropped and she wouldn't admit it.
Teddy Van Halen
Wait, wait, who?
Rob Shooter
Ashley Simpson.
Kinsey Schofield
Ashley Simpson.
Teddy Van Halen
When you.
Rob Shooter
I worked with Ashley and she would. Wouldn't admit it.
Kinsey Schofield
Will you not tell her that I got the same tattoo as her? Because that is. I'm 40 years old.
Rob Shooter
I'm so embarrassed she wouldn't admit it. And finally I convinced. You've got to admit it. You have to admit it. But it took her a moment. She didn't want to admit this.
Kinsey Schofield
Her new nose is so cute compared to her old nose.
Rob Shooter
And when she had her baby, she didn't know what nose her baby would get. And I said, the baby gets your DNA.
Teddy Van Halen
Yeah, it's like Bruce Willis and Demi Morris. Yes. All have the original. It's the original DNA. Like that's what you see before you see original DNA. Exactly.
Rob Shooter
They forget, don't they? They forget. Like, I think Kylie's forgot that her baby is not going to look like mommy. Now, that's post.
Teddy Van Halen
This is my theory, you guys, as to why we don't really see the faces of Meghan Markle's kids. It's pre plastic surgery.
Kinsey Schofield
Do you think they got Megan's old nose?
Rob Shooter
Because the DNA. I've seen Jurassic Park. Park. The DNA is the DNA. You can't. Yeah, it's the DNA.
Teddy Van Halen
They can gene edit that yet. I'm sure Elon Musk is working on it with, like his thousand children populating the earth. Okay, let's take a look at Nicole Kidman. Oh, let's take a look. Oh, this is Jesse Buckley. First we're looking at Jesse Buckley. This is Balenciaga, I believe. And so that's what I saw on. On my screen watching our live here. So, Marlena, tell me. That's right.
Kinsey Schofield
So we see Nicole Kidman, and then
Teddy Van Halen
we've got Nicole Kidman following this. Looks like. I'm sure she's in Chanel. I would bet it's Chanel.
Rob Shooter
I think she has to be, contractually last night.
Kinsey Schofield
Yeah.
Teddy Van Halen
Oh, she's.
Rob Shooter
Yeah, she's the Chanel.
Teddy Van Halen
Yeah.
Rob Shooter
I mean, it looks beautiful.
Teddy Van Halen
I love it.
Rob Shooter
Yeah. She's a movie star. She looks like a movie star.
Teddy Van Halen
She does.
Rob Shooter
I think it's interesting that she's still not talking about Keith Urban. Nobody's.
Teddy Van Halen
What is there to say for Keith Urban? He normally would be with her on a red carpet like this.
Rob Shooter
He would. I wonder if he's missing these type of nights because he's not gonna get invited anymore.
Teddy Van Halen
He's not. It's over for him.
Kinsey Schofield
Like this. His new love interest. Isn't she like some 20 year old wannabe country star or something?
Rob Shooter
Yeah, that is.
Kinsey Schofield
That is so enjoy House of Blues, I guess.
Teddy Van Halen
Oh, it's grim. The House of Blues. Yeah.
Rob Shooter
He went from the Oscars to the House of Blues. I think Nicole is such a movie star. I've met her a few times in person.
Teddy Van Halen
Nicole, she's extraordinary.
Rob Shooter
She looks like an Avatar. They don't look real. Just like I can't imagine. I'm sure you two ladies can, but I can't imagine just being that beautiful. Like I just. That's very sweet, but it's just she looks like an absolute movie star and I like her mystique. I love celebrities gossiping. But she won't. She's never told us about her marriage with Tom Cruise.
Kinsey Schofield
She's telling us.
Teddy Van Halen
Oh, well, that was an NDA for the jazz. I mean, cat ruined real. Okay, Tiana Taylor is here now. Guys, we are in business. This again. I am so sick of this woman. As you know, she was. She's dragging her like four or five year old daughter. These things. Like this is no place for children. No place for children.
Rob Shooter
It's not. It's not barely a place for adults. It's a really long, really boring night in that auditorium. And you have to remember too, with the time difference in la, this is an afternoon event.
Teddy Van Halen
This is an afternoon event.
Rob Shooter
They're dressed up like they're going to the ball. Like Cinderella. Midday. It's an afternoon event.
Kinsey Schofield
Well, Rob said something interesting earlier about how magazines are dead. This was off camera, but I saw her when I was on my way in the airport. I saw her on the COVID of Tatiana on the COVID of Time. Tiana, right, I'm sorry, Tiana on the COVID of Time. That was so rude of me. And they called her one of the most influential people and no, she's nice. And then I thought of Meghan and Harry on the as one of the world's most influential people. And I really thought Blake Lively, remember,
Teddy Van Halen
she's the time worth of the year.
Kinsey Schofield
And it tells you magazines really are dead in the sense that like how irrelevant and disconnected are you? Because I mean, I'm talking about this woman and I only ever talk about this woman when I talk to you.
Teddy Van Halen
Right, right.
Kinsey Schofield
And it's because she's everywhere during award season. But like otherwise she's not in my popcorn culture zeitgeist, you know? I guess, you know, so she's a.
Teddy Van Halen
She's that everything you're saying is dead on. And that shows you when the industry decides that they're going to anoint somebody, they're gonna ram them down our throats. But it really is up to us in the end. Do we want these people in our lives or not? I'm. I was great before Teyana Taylor entered my life.
Kinsey Schofield
Yeah.
Teddy Van Halen
I will be phenomenal once she's out of it. And I hope tonight is the last I see her for a very long time. Let's take a look, shall we, at Gwyneth Paltrow again. Love her or hate her, she is an old school movie star. She is. And here. This is exactly what I'm talking about with this Carolyn Bessette that's moment she's doing. It's evocative of Carolyn Bessette's wedding gown, which was super minimalist and brides everywhere. The poofy Diana, Princess Diana look was out. Everybody wanted to look like Carolyn Bissette. This is a very. I mean, this is. She just took right from the playbook. And the rumor was back in the 90s that Gwyneth really wanted to get a date with John Jr. And he wanted nothing to do.
Kinsey Schofield
Why did he not want any. Why would he not want anything to do with it?
Rob Shooter
I think she's high maintenance. I think it's just like she was not. Although Carolyn was not easy.
Teddy Van Halen
And Daryl, I like Daryl wrote her op ed defending herself. So, you know. But I found it interesting. I wonder why. What it was he had heard about Gwyneth that made her a hard no.
Rob Shooter
It made her a hard no. She looks great here.
Kinsey Schofield
Wait, don't we know something about Ben Affleck's ball sack? Could it be that. Didn't she tap his sack or something?
Rob Shooter
She.
Teddy Van Halen
Did she say something about Ben Affleck's balls?
Rob Shooter
There was a teabagging conversation about her and Ben Affleck once that came out. But maybe I would say Jock.
Teddy Van Halen
Wait, wait, you can't just keep going.
Rob Shooter
The Gwyneth likes to teabag and that Ben.
Kinsey Schofield
Wait, Ben has to teabag her?
Teddy Van Halen
I think technically this is our Christian girl who's gonna. I want Kinsey to explain to any troublemakers out there who does not know what this. Even Dave the DP is laughing. And he's a hard, hard one to crack. What is teabagging, Kinsey?
Kinsey Schofield
According to the Southern Baptist Dictionary, teabagging is when I think Ben Affleck would take his sack and hit her with it. And I think it was in the face.
Teddy Van Halen
Okay. John Waters had a slightly more genteel description of teabagging. Rob, do you want to give it a shot?
Rob Shooter
I think it's when you put your balls in somebody's mat.
Kinsey Schofield
Wait, what?
Rob Shooter
I'm so proud, Mom.
Teddy Van Halen
It's like a tea bag. It comes from above.
Kinsey Schofield
Wait, I.
Teddy Van Halen
Yes. It's not specific to Ben Affleck. Any male will,
Rob Shooter
I would imagine, if John Jr. Knew that that's an incentive to date her. I don't think he would. I don't think he would run away from that. I think he's really watching.
Teddy Van Halen
Yeah, I do.
Rob Shooter
She looks great. She looks great. And it's a movie star night
Teddy Van Halen
only at the Nerve.
Kinsey Schofield
I hate it here. I can't believe my whole. I'm so glad I never offered a teabag because I would have been off. I would have been totally off.
Teddy Van Halen
Next livestream tease. Round of tease for everybody. You guys. Tell me when we've got someone new. We are watching right now. So the Oscars has begun and we're very happy to be live streaming right now because there's a very good chance they're going to do best supporting Actor while we're live streaming. And we have it in for Timothy. A little, just little tour of our little props here. We've got, of course, Joan and Betty from Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? For my money, one of the best B movies ever made. We've got our nerve Cliquot. And instead of Brute, it says brutal at the bottom. We've got our top level shit, our own Oscar Wilde. We've got brother Craig's award finally came. So we just included it because Craig, brother Craig, Obama. Not Obama, Craig Robinson. Michelle Obama, basically Obama. He just never gets enough, you know, respect in the culture and so. And typically, you know, it came late. We just had it. We ordered it for the Nerve awards. It says, you rock, brother Craig. You rock.
Rob Shooter
You gotta get it. Better mailing service, though. You gotta get.
Teddy Van Halen
Listen, I. You know what I had to do to run this up the flagpole just to expense it? Not cheap. Not cheap. And of course, oh, we've got the Hollywood memoir I am currently reading called Self Portrait by Gene Purity. Knockout of a book. And we've got our zebiotics on the table to prep. And our fire extinguishers are over there in case Ryan Reynolds gets out of the woodshed. And our very special guest, very special guest, for the first time ever, the wood chipper is here. And the wood chipper will be made very Good use of this evening. I can promise you all that. My spirit animal, the wood chipper. Okay, as we wait. Oh, somebody's saying. What happened to Gwyneth's mouth? Oh. Oh. Did you have a little word in the live stream? Now, listen, I'm gonna tell you. I think we saw images of her, her at the Valentino show, and it looked to me like she did have some facial work done. And she had it done. Maybe just a little too close. You know, they always say space that out. Like, give yourself at least two weeks, ideally a month, for anything, to settle.
Rob Shooter
All my friends in Hollywood have had a terrific week because they could get into every plastic surgeon's office. They could get every facial because this is the week where nobody goes. They all went last week. And so if you want to get a good facial in Hollywood right now, do it this week.
Teddy Van Halen
Let's do Kate Hudson. We've got Kate Hudson. Okay, Here we are going to see her. She is wearing blue because she is nominated for a film called Song Blue. And so this is just too. It's a little on the nose for me. I don't love it. And I was also just reading in the New York Post today that apparently her parents, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, went very hard in the paint to, like, force a nomination for her.
Kinsey Schofield
Really?
Teddy Van Halen
They were hosting all kinds of screenings. They were really applying the pressure.
Rob Shooter
They were. And it works. She's got a nomination. Goldie is Hollywood royalty. Kurt is a big, big star. And so if you've got that gun power, if you've got that cannon behind you, it's gonna help. Gold is a legend in Hollywood. You know, you feel like with the Nepo baby stuff at the moment that it might backfire, but unfortunately, it doesn't. It often.
Teddy Van Halen
It doesn't. It doesn't.
Rob Shooter
It backfires for us.
Kinsey Schofield
Like, we hate it. We hate it.
Rob Shooter
People that vote and the nominations, they love it.
Kinsey Schofield
I really did not love that movie.
Teddy Van Halen
I haven't seen that movie.
Kinsey Schofield
It's so depressing. Only watch it if, like, Mercury's in retrograde and you want to be even. Even, like, more upset. But I didn't love it. I thought it was very depressing. And I also think, speaking of on the nose, she's still trying to launch her music career, so it feels a little forced, like her doing a singing movie trying to launch this pop music career at the same time.
Teddy Van Halen
Yes.
Kinsey Schofield
And it's almost like Blake Lively being like, here's my domestic violence movie and my booze and my hair care. I'M like, ah, it's too much.
Rob Shooter
Yeah, I get this is the Neil diamond movie. So it's based on the true tribute band or a tribute artist for Neil Diamond. I did like listening to the Neil diamond songs, though. Like, I think the soundtrack is great and the songs are great. I don't think Kate's gonna win tonight, but I think she's put on a good. A good race. Her mom and dad are there, so. Her mom and dad are still working it. Somebody tell Goldie the voting's over. Goldie, go home. Go home.
Teddy Van Halen
Yes. So we've got now Emma Stone.
Kinsey Schofield
Emma Stone in her new face.
Teddy Van Halen
Emma Stone, like, again, if you look, she's wearing Louis Vuitton again. This is another Carolyn Bessette thing for me. I mean, we've got this cap sleeve. It's a. To me, listen, this is a wife and a mother who is now firmly in middle age. I would like to see actresses embrace aging instead of trying to freeze themselves as 20 something starlets. This look is a little too cute for me. I would rather see her in something adult and. And a little bit even more sexy than this.
Rob Shooter
She still plays that real cute teenager type personality, doesn't she? And I think it's a mistake here. Great actress. I don't think it's gonna be her year, but it's fun to see them get dressed up and be out there and yeah, I think I agree with you, Maureen. The cuteness was maybe a couple of years ago.
Kinsey Schofield
My. My boyfriend cheated on me with Emily. She was Emily Stone at the time. So it's taken me a few years to sit back and watch Emma Stone
Rob Shooter
movies without the guy she was with. Had a girlfriend?
Kinsey Schofield
I think so because MySpace was a big deal at the time and he was all over my MySpace.
Teddy Van Halen
Oh my God, she would have known.
Kinsey Schofield
And we got into a fight, not over him, but over hair extensions because I had to pay for mine and she got hers for free on becoming the Partridge Family on bha.
Teddy Van Halen
She too got her start in reality television. Television. Just like Tiana Taylor, who got her start on my super sweet.
Rob Shooter
Have you seen her since you.
Kinsey Schofield
No, no, not since she's blown up. But I will say my attitude's changed. I love her now. Good for her.
Teddy Van Halen
I'm.
Kinsey Schofield
I'm excited for all of her success.
Rob Shooter
Why did your attitude change? I'd hate her for life.
Kinsey Schofield
I don't know. I think I just thought, wow, good for her. That she. That she did it. But yeah, I.
Teddy Van Halen
You mean that she made it. Yeah, she did it with Your boyfriend?
Kinsey Schofield
No, but yeah, we did musical theater together when we were younger.
Rob Shooter
Oh, yeah. We should point out too that the show has started and it's an exceptionally long monologue.
Teddy Van Halen
Exceptionally long. And they did a very, very long pre recorded bit with Conan as.
Kinsey Schofield
Oh, look, they're making memes.
Teddy Van Halen
Jamie Madigan, character from Weapons Leo is looking greasy. He's looking greasy. The mustache does him no favors. It's very porn star adjacent.
Kinsey Schofield
But like a New York pizza.
Teddy Van Halen
I'd go there.
Kinsey Schofield
So greasy and delicious as well.
Teddy Van Halen
I would describe it, you know, where that member has been.
Kinsey Schofield
I would just ask for him to wear a prophylactic.
Teddy Van Halen
Apparently he wears more than that in the bedroom. Earbuds, earphones.
Kinsey Schofield
I just hope that he's listening to the Secret. Is he listening to the Secret when he's going to pound him on the scene?
Teddy Van Halen
Speak to the let them theory. Can we see Demi Moore? Can we see her? We just had her up one second ago. But I want to see her. You know this, she's wearing Gucci. And I, I actually love this.
Rob Shooter
Love it. I love it.
Teddy Van Halen
And I was thinking about this with Demi, you know, last year she was up for the Substance.
Rob Shooter
Yeah.
Teddy Van Halen
Which was an overhyped movie.
Rob Shooter
I hated it.
Teddy Van Halen
It didn't, it didn't say what they were claiming. It was saying about women, especially famous women, aging, how Hollywood won't let you age. But we're here a year later and she has become everything the substance was supposed to be against. She has Ozempic'd herself and plastic surgery herself into near oblivion. And with those images of her at the Gucci show a week or two ago where she's like this in like a kind of Emma Peel like leather jumpsuit. I mean, it was, it was shocking.
Rob Shooter
I've seen those photographs at the fashion show. A friend of mine said that the Substance has become a documentary. Like it really became. It became a.
Teddy Van Halen
The Substance was a jab.
Rob Shooter
Yes, it was a jab. And she has become everything that that movie was trying to warn us about. I mean, I think this, this dress is beautiful. There's no doubt though, that clearly something's going on there. She's, she's painfully thin. Thin. I saw her a few years ago and she was heavier then, but she was still painfully thin. So I can't even imagine what she must look like in person tonight. Photographs. Well, and that's, that's a horrible lie here, is that people who lose a lot of weight often look better on camera and photographs, not in person.
Teddy Van Halen
It does add.
Rob Shooter
It does add and so that's the awful dilemma of this. And I. And I don't want to give Hollywood a free pass. But when you lose weight in Hollywood, you're often told how great you look, and that's a real incentive. Lindsay Lohan talked about that when she lost a lot of weight. Everyone kept telling us she looked great, and she said it was the worst thing to, hey, you know what you look like?
Teddy Van Halen
You look like you've got stage four cancer. You've never looked better. You've never looked better. After having a few drinks, do you find it hard to bounce back? Do you find yourself choosing between a great night or a great day? Try Zebiotics pre alcohol. We've got them here. They come in these little vials. You drink one. It's the first genetically engineered probiotic created by PhD scientists to help you tackle those rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It is a buildup of that, that byproduct, not dehydration, that's really behind those sluggish warnings. After Zebiotics pre alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. So make it your first drink of the night, drink responsibly, and feel your best the next day. If you're ready to give Zebiotics a try, go to zebiotics.com nerve now. You'll get 15% off your first order when you use nerve at checkout. That's zebiotics.com nerve and use code code nerve at checkout for 15 off. Josh Groban is doing some kind of terrible skit involving this. This Conan. If Conan thinks he just averted a murder scene, this is. This is a. This is a close second. What's going on at the Oscars right now? Even the haters can't hate number one. This is again, Josh Groban, right, singing an opening number at the Oscar.
Kinsey Schofield
Oscars.
Rob Shooter
Let me tell you what we want at the Oscars. We want awards. Cut to the chase like it's eternal foreplay. We're 20 minutes into the show and we've not given Ann an award yet. And so, like, get to the meat of the show. We're here to see who the. It's a big production number. They've spent a lot of money on it. What a waste of time.
Teddy Van Halen
It feels nerve coded, like homemade, like they're flying an Oscar in on a thing. And we got some flying objects here. Not a hawk, necessarily. You know what if that's a hawk. Ethan Hawk. It's a shiv. Anne Hathaway. Anne Hathaway is on. I don't like this. I don't. Now the Devil Wears Prada is about to hit theaters. This is a big deal. This is going to be one of those rare movies that they think people will leave the house to go see in a movie theater. Florals for spring. Groundbreaking quote. Miranda Priestly.
Rob Shooter
I hope that is Prada. That would be very clever if it is.
Teddy Van Halen
Yeah, Great point.
Rob Shooter
It should be Prada. There's something really lacking about this, isn't there? And I think that that movie has made her into a fashionista. Like, that movie is about fashion. And so she's got access to the best stylists in the world. Anna Winter's there tonight too. And so, no, it's a. It's a letdown. I also think too, I would have tried to get Meryl Streep to arrive with me. They should have turned up together. If they want to promote the movie. They should have been there together tonight.
Teddy Van Halen
Oh, So I guess maybe they're not super tight. We're looking right now, by the way, at the Oscars. And Zoe Saldan is on stage, which leads me to believe. Oh, it's best supporting Actress. Okay. We're dying to get to best actor here. Dying to get to. But that's going to be later in the night.
Rob Shooter
Yeah, I got the rundown. It's going to be a lot later. And they know, too, that they know dummies. They know that the category that everybody's waiting for is. Is best Actor. And so they want to encourage us to watch as much as the show. Let's be honest. If they gave us a word first, we would down one of these little shots of yours and we'd be off to the bar.
Teddy Van Halen
Off. Off to the races.
Kinsey Schofield
Can I have another drink?
Teddy Van Halen
Of course you can, Catherine. Amy Madigan won. Amy Madigan. Okay, listen, I think Amy, she beat Teyana Taylor. That is a plus.
Rob Shooter
That's a plus.
Teddy Van Halen
That is a plus. But I think that the hair and the makeup and the wardrobe department should share that. Oscar winning.
Kinsey Schofield
Yes.
Teddy Van Halen
Without that, this is not an Oscar winning performance. I'm sorry. Agree with not.
Kinsey Schofield
I agree with you.
Rob Shooter
I think we might have jumped the gun here a little bit. It looks like it's still going on, this category. Okay, well, but I think we've still picked.
Teddy Van Halen
I think we might be on a delay. Are we on a delay, Marlena? A little bit in here.
Rob Shooter
Yeah. It's a good category to open with. A strong one. Lots of really, really big, big, big names in it. Here it is. Best Supporting Actress. They're showing their faces. There is. They're cutting in. Everybody's there.
Kinsey Schofield
Oh, every.
Teddy Van Halen
Every nominee. Showed up.
Rob Shooter
Showed up. And it is.
Teddy Van Halen
Wait.
Rob Shooter
Oh, okay.
Teddy Van Halen
You're right. It is Madigan.
Rob Shooter
Yeah, you got it right. You got it right. Oh, look, I like this. And it's a wacky look to it. It's a nod to the character. It's an odd outfit that she's wearing.
Kinsey Schofield
Even and Jacob sitting next to each other. Oh, my God.
Teddy Van Halen
Jacob Elordi.
Kinsey Schofield
I would love to be back. Let me just say, I wonder who
Teddy Van Halen
Timothy is seated near. Have we had an image of Timothe?
Kinsey Schofield
He's next to Kylie, obviously, but Elle Fanning. He's in front of Elle Fanning.
Rob Shooter
Oh, you saw him. Is in the audience. And is he on the front row or the second row?
Kinsey Schofield
Yes, on the side.
Rob Shooter
On the side. An aisle seat.
Kinsey Schofield
Yes.
Rob Shooter
That's a good sign.
Kinsey Schofield
Yeah, that's a good sign.
Teddy Van Halen
So they expect him to potentially win.
Rob Shooter
That's a good sign. But Leah's on the front row, so that's a good seat too. So they often do that. They know now that we look at seating positions, so to throw us off, they give both of them a good seat. Ah.
Teddy Van Halen
Ah.
Rob Shooter
That's what they're doing. So they both potentially have a good.
Kinsey Schofield
Do we think that Conan went full silly off the top? Yes, in a way. Like almost like Richie Ricky Gervais did when he was like, don't get political. No one gives an F about your polit. Like, do we think that the reason he went. I mean, it's Conan. He is silly. But was it a way to set the tone so people wouldn't stand up there and preach?
Rob Shooter
I think that they. I don't know if it would make any difference. The people that are gonna preach are gonna preach. I think they've already decided who's gonna say. Say that. I think this is Conan's default setting. It's really Conan at his best when he's being outrageous and silly. These production numbers at the top of the show, though, unless you're Billy Crystal, I don't know who's pulled one off in recent memory. I want to get to the awards. We're literally 20 minutes into the show, and we've just given out the four. And this is why it goes on too long. Hours and hours and hours of it.
Teddy Van Halen
And she's still up there talking. And I'm sorry, like, I don't mean to be somebody whose attention span is perhaps dwindled. But it's like, get on and get off. Just like Ricky Gervais said. Say thank you. Say thank you. And please overstayed your welcome. Amy Madigan. Five seconds ago, I was thrilled for you. Now, like, get off now.
Kinsey Schofield
We're over it.
Rob Shooter
You've turned in four minutes.
Teddy Van Halen
Because she knows this is it. This is it for her. This is her only moment. So she's going to.
Kinsey Schofield
And she better be thanking the hair and makeup department.
Rob Shooter
And I think for a lot of them, this is it. There's very few people that win multiple awards, Merrell, and a handful, but most of them, this is their moment. You were saying about Mickey, Mikey, who won last year.
Teddy Van Halen
Mikey Madison.
Rob Shooter
Right. Halle Berry talked about the curse of the Oscar. After she won, she disappeared. Just because you win tonight does not guarantee you a career. It doesn't. It's the next project that's the most important.
Kinsey Schofield
Well, you just justified the 13 minutes she spent on stage.
Teddy Van Halen
She's still there. She's still. She's lost the room right now. I promise you that.
Rob Shooter
And we're 20 minutes in the show. They're overtime.
Teddy Van Halen
They're already over. They're already over. You know. Okay. So before we get to the nerves. Nominees. Oscar nominees. She's still yapping. She's still yapping. We're gonna take a look at some of the. Some of the stars at the Chanel pre Oscars party that was held last night Saturday at the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Our first look is Jessie Buckley. We are just waiting for her to come up. Oh, they're having trouble hearing me. I hear Marlena yelling. I hear her yelling. Girls, are we gonna get Jessie Buckley?
Rob Shooter
There she is.
Teddy Van Halen
There she is.
Rob Shooter
Yeah.
Teddy Van Halen
So I wanted to show this look in particular because I think it's awful.
Rob Shooter
It's awful.
Teddy Van Halen
I think they hate her. I think the stylist at Chanel and her personal style stylist, I think they've had it with Jessie Buckley, who's clearly high on her own supply. This is a dress made for a real fashionista. You have to. You have to have kind of the. The height, and you have to basically be like a clothes hanger to pull something like this off. And it looks like she's just sweeping the floor with it. It's like. It looks like it's just two dusters of, you know, I don't know.
Rob Shooter
Yeah, it's like a reject from Downton Abbey. You can imagine somebody wearing that on Downton Avenue. And you're right. It's not designed for somebody. That's her shape and size. And she's gorgeous. Like, there's no criticism of her if she can't pull off that.
Teddy Van Halen
I don't think she's gorgeous, Rob.
Rob Shooter
You don't.
Teddy Van Halen
I like. I like. I think they're trying to convince us this woman is a movie star, and they're gonna anoint her tonight with the Oscar for Best Actress. And she's not a movie star. I'm sorry.
Kinsey Schofield
And we're here to remind you that she did a reality show fighting to be on Oliver with Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Rob Shooter
She was on that.
Kinsey Schofield
Yeah.
Teddy Van Halen
That was reality.
Kinsey Schofield
And she came in second place. Yeah.
Teddy Van Halen
And she did not make friends on that show. We had a troublemaker right in who had a close family member or friend who works for the BBC and was like, Jessie Buckley basically alienated everyone on that show, cast and crew. She was so full of herself.
Kinsey Schofield
And she won the position to be
Rob Shooter
Nancy at Oliver Twist.
Teddy Van Halen
Is that the show Troublemaker? Buckley is not gorgeous, Rob.
Rob Shooter
I think she's so. Maybe it's because she's English.
Kinsey Schofield
Yeah.
Teddy Van Halen
We. She's Irish. Oh, she's Irish.
Rob Shooter
I was reflected on that. Thank you. That dress there. What were they thinking? It is so flattering.
Kinsey Schofield
It's rude.
Rob Shooter
And wouldn't you say, though, like, you'd be so disappointed if I got invited to that party and the stylist came to my apartment to show me the dress and they pulled that out. I think that really.
Kinsey Schofield
Happy Easter.
Teddy Van Halen
It also just goes to show you how so many of these stars, like, they don't have a true inner compass, like an inner director. They don't know themselves because someone who knows themselves, that's not for me. I can't pull that off. I won't be comfortable, and so I
Rob Shooter
won't be doing that. I would say that's not. It's a lovely dress. I'd lie. Oh, it's a beautiful dress. Not for me.
Kinsey Schofield
Right.
Teddy Van Halen
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Tiana Taylor, who's again been showing herself. This is Tiana at the Chanel party the other night. She's coming up imminently.
Rob Shooter
So this is a big thing.
Teddy Van Halen
The night before this. A mess. A mess. A mess.
Rob Shooter
Oh, it's a mess. Has Chanel lost their mind? When I think of Chanel, I think of Coco Chanel and that beautiful black stylist fitted well.
Teddy Van Halen
You know, they have a new designer now. This is. This is his first year. His first. I believe this would be under him.
Rob Shooter
Yes.
Teddy Van Halen
Yeah.
Rob Shooter
But why would I hire a designer who thinks that looks good for Chanel. Like, Chanel is not that well, but
Kinsey Schofield
if we're being honest, that is a woman that said, this is what I want, because she looks so. Everybody else is in Easter pastels.
Teddy Van Halen
Correct.
Kinsey Schofield
She looks so. That is a woman that said, not this, but I'll take that. She stands out from everyone.
Teddy Van Halen
Right. And she did that deliberately. Right? She did that because she did not want to be one of the Chanel in pastels. Like, we're gonna. We're gonna stand out. Like, we're gonna make sure our image penetrates. Where's Tim?
Rob Shooter
There is. Look at Kylie. She's in the dress.
Teddy Van Halen
Oh, my God. Are we looking at this, guys? Do we have this up? We have Tim and Kylie up on screen.
Rob Shooter
There they are.
Teddy Van Halen
Let's take a look at this. Okay. I. I think this body, like, language is interesting. She's leaning into him. He's leaning away. He's got his arm on the. On the armrest. Like, he just wants to leap out of that chair and get that statuette. He is dying right now. He is dying.
Rob Shooter
Yeah. And the best moment's gonna be after the award is announced and it's not him. What does he do? Does he have to stay for the rest of the show? Does he have a tantrum? He's a little petulant devil. He could get up and walk out.
Teddy Van Halen
Didn't he get up and walk out at the Globes when his category was done? He left early. Oh, he arrived super late, right? He arrived super late right before.
Rob Shooter
Yes, he did. That's it. And like, as a former publicist, we talk about this stuff like it's not an accident. We're talking about the clothes. What happened is they don't just bring one dress. They bring 10, and you pick which one. And so after these awards, do you stay? Yes. The Ethan hall knows he's not going to win. He's going to stay till the end
Teddy Van Halen
of the show because he's a grown up and he knows how this game is played. And I find it interesting, too, because a lot of these New York actors, you know, Rose Byrne is one, Keri Russell is one, they don't. They don't live in Hollywood. They're not Hollywood creatures. They aren't of that world.
Rob Shooter
They're not of that world.
Teddy Van Halen
But when it comes time, when they're nominated, they show up and they sit there and they applaud for their peers, and it's not that hard, but. But Timothy is a New Yorker who gives New Yorkers like a bad name. It's the. It's like that worst aspect of like a New Yorker who's just rude and out for themselves.
Kinsey Schofield
Matthew Reese is like that too. So good.
Teddy Van Halen
He's a good New Welshman.
Kinsey Schofield
He's a good.
Teddy Van Halen
By way of wealth. Yeah.
Rob Shooter
Oh, that's so interesting. Morning. I think that's what the comment about the ballet and the opera did. Did for me. It just blew the COVID It really took the mask off and it was then painfully obvious who this guy is.
Teddy Van Halen
Yeah, he's shallow. He's limited.
Kinsey Schofield
Limited.
Teddy Van Halen
This is a guy who was nominated for playing Bob Dylan and said that before he was cast in the role, he had never heard of Bob Dylan.
Kinsey Schofield
No, he didn't say that.
Rob Shooter
He did say it.
Teddy Van Halen
He did say that.
Kinsey Schofield
I can't tell you how many boys I've had to pretend I like Bob Dylan.
Teddy Van Halen
Just. Just drop it. Just drop the facade.
Kinsey Schofield
It's not worth it.
Teddy Van Halen
It's really.
Kinsey Schofield
Oh, I love Dylan. What's your favorite song?
Rob Shooter
But what a stupid thing to say if you're playing him in a movie. There's nothing smart about it.
Kinsey Schofield
So disrespectful.
Teddy Van Halen
Oh, I know.
Rob Shooter
This is gonna be. If he does not win tonight, is he going to that Vanity Fair party? Is he going home? He's in a hotel. He doesn't have a house out there. What?
Teddy Van Halen
What, what's he gonna do? Great point. He doesn't have a house. Well, you would think he would be going home with Kylie. Right?
Rob Shooter
Right. But she's gotta go to that. She's on the COVID of Vanity Fair.
Teddy Van Halen
Has to go. And by the way, if Timothy doesn't go, let's say he loses and he doesn't go. Will Smith went after he smashed Beat the heck out of Chris Ross. Okay, Timothy, if anybody on your team happens to be secretly watching the nerve. And they tell you to go to the Vanity Fair party, go to the Vanity Fair party.
Rob Shooter
Now, what might be delicious is this year they've, they've. They've really reduced the. The guest list. I think part of the. That is their frightened. Not everybody wants to go. So it's a much smaller venue. So they used to say the rule was, is that if you were nominated for an Oscar, you didn't have to win. If you were one of the nominees, you automatically got in this show. That's not the rule.
Teddy Van Halen
Really.
Rob Shooter
If you don't win, you're not automatically nominated. So wouldn't it be delicious if she gets in and he doesn't? I know that would never Happen. It would never happen. It would never happen.
Teddy Van Halen
But.
Rob Shooter
But wouldn't it be delicious if he doesn't win, he's not got an automatic invite.
Kinsey Schofield
Kylie's like, I. I think I have a plus one. I think I get one plus one. And there's Chloe banging down the door.
Teddy Van Halen
Oh, my God. I.
Rob Shooter
We're.
Teddy Van Halen
I'm listening to your watching the troublemakers on the live chat. And we are hearing you with the microphones.
Kinsey Schofield
Oh, I'm gonna, I'm gonna scoot up, guys.
Teddy Van Halen
Maureen, did Kinsey get her Dr. Drink? Yes, she got her drink refilled.
Kinsey Schofield
I'm gonna get her drink.
Rob Shooter
Yes.
Teddy Van Halen
We are waiting for. I'm shocked if you didn't know who Bob Dylan was. Yeah, I'm not shocked either. Okay, somebody is getting up to win something.
Rob Shooter
And there's animated shorts. This is a category that we probably.
Teddy Van Halen
We don't care. Let's go to the nerves nominees. Okay, let's go to the nerves nominees. We are going to our category. That is best performance by an inanimate object.
Kinsey Schofield
Okay.
Teddy Van Halen
Our nominees are Best performance by an inanimate object. Timothy's ping pong paddles.
Kinsey Schofield
Oh, wow.
Teddy Van Halen
The gun that was shoved up Sean Penn's ass in one battle after another. Even Dave thinks this is fake. Funny. We did get the make and model.
Kinsey Schofield
Okay.
Teddy Van Halen
It's a Beretta 92 style semi automatic pistol. A hot pistol of Sean's hot ass.
Kinsey Schofield
I can tell you I'm tight right now. Mine is tight.
Teddy Van Halen
The. Our third nominee, Kinsey. Timothy's mustache in Marty Supreme. His struggle mustache in Marty supreme. Our fourth nominee, GLP1s. And last but not least, best performance by an inanimate object. Meghan Markle's Netflix career.
Kinsey Schofield
Oh, my God. What do you know, Michael?
Teddy Van Halen
And we're gonna fire up the wood chipper for the winner. The winner is Inaugural. Inaugural. Getting chipped by our. By. By the. By the nerves. Mascot of all mascots. It's Megan Markle's Netflix career.
Rob Shooter
That's performing.
Teddy Van Halen
Adam,
Rob Shooter
fire it up.
Teddy Van Halen
Fire
Rob Shooter
mar. Oh.
Kinsey Schofield
Oh, wow.
Teddy Van Halen
Don't believe it.
Kinsey Schofield
I'm scared.
Rob Shooter
Be careful.
Teddy Van Halen
Don't touching.
Rob Shooter
My.
Teddy Van Halen
God. The Marle sparkle. Hey, do we think Megan Markle got an invited to the Vanity Fair party?
Kinsey Schofield
No. Yes, you do.
Rob Shooter
You do.
Teddy Van Halen
I think Vanity bragging.
Rob Shooter
Oh, we would have known. But she would have. Yeah, she would have put out a. She would have put out the invite. Now remember that too. One of her best friends in Hollywood is Kris Jenner. The Jenners and the Kardashians are gonna take over this Party tonight. So if anybody can get her in, it's Kris.
Kinsey Schofield
Oh, my God. If she shows up. I don't know, I just. I feel like she is probably trying to lay low with all of the negative attention surrounding, you know, what she
Teddy Van Halen
just did, Rob, which we were talking about. Somebody else needed this. Sick kids. She went to LA's Children's Hospital and brought a camera person and documented that. And she wore a mask because she
Rob Shooter
did wear a mask.
Teddy Van Halen
So, again, she's like her own worst enemy.
Rob Shooter
If something's gonna. We say it and we joke, but it's true. If somebody can blow something up into her, like even something that should be so easy and so simple and so good, she can make a mess of it. The two of them mess everything up.
Kinsey Schofield
I don't know if she. She would bless Vanity Fair with her presence. Because, you know, if Meghan Markle and Prince Harry show up there, that will be everywhere. The Daily Mail radar. Because Vanity Fair wrote that scathing article, American Hustlers.
Teddy Van Halen
Hustlers, yeah.
Rob Shooter
Which is why she's not done Vogue. Cause it's all part of the same company. Conde Nasha did the British Vogue. She wouldn't do American Vogue because she was mad about that Vanity Fair. She holds a grudge better than Rosie o'.
Teddy Van Halen
Donnell, actually. I think Vogue. I think American Vogue she would do in a heartbeat. I think the problem is Anna Wintour will never allow her on the COVID of American Vogue because she's a monarchist. The queen made her a day.
Rob Shooter
That's right. I believe she's British. She's. Yes.
Teddy Van Halen
There's no way it's happening. And I also think if she were to attend, she would have to. I mean, I would think she would be Persona non grata at Vanity Fair because they put her on the COVID under, like. So it was false pretenses. Right. She told Harry, vanity Fair wants me on the COVID because I'm a big star in America. Nobody had ever heard of this woman. And they had gone to Great and Carter and said, you want to put Meghan Markle on the COVID And he said, who's Meghan Markle? And they said, she's gonna marry Prince Harry.
Kinsey Schofield
And he was like, I guess.
Teddy Van Halen
But so the headline was, she's just wild about Harry. And Meghan said that was a racist headline. I'm not making it up. She said it was a racist headline. So I don't know. I don't know that we should.
Kinsey Schofield
We should clarify.
Teddy Van Halen
Troublemakers are going to be mad at
Kinsey Schofield
me, Marlena, because of the because of Judy Garland. Blackface. That's why. She said it was racist, but that was. That was so stupid.
Teddy Van Halen
Oh, they want. So the troublemakers want to see Amy Madigan and her acceptance speech. Should we play a little bit?
Rob Shooter
Can we do that?
Teddy Van Halen
All right, you guys are the boss. Let's take a look.
Kinsey Schofield
Is this Timothy's?
Teddy Van Halen
No, it's not. Let's take a look at Amy Madigan's. You tell me when she's ready and we'll talk to it. Here we go. This is great.
Kinsey Schofield
Everybody's asking me. I'm depressed at all this. Well, it's been 40 years. And you know what's different about this time?
Teddy Van Halen
I can't comment on that. Get rid of it. I mean, I was in the shower
Kinsey Schofield
last night trying to think of something
Teddy Van Halen
to say, which we mean worst career ending plastic surgery of 2025. And our original. The original famous person who destroyed a thriving Hollywood career with bad plastic surgery, Meg Ryan, the original. We're going to look at her before image from When Harry Met Sally and what she did to her after. And what she. Whatever she had done isn't reversible because she's been. She's been looking like that for at least 15 years.
Rob Shooter
And this is.
Teddy Van Halen
This goes to show you these people have access, you would think, to the best of the best. But any surgery is a major risk.
Rob Shooter
Major. And the stars that had surgery in the late 80s and the 90s, it was all about cutting and pulling, and you can't reverse it. When you overdo the fillers, you can dissolve them. So celebrities that are doing surgery today do have an option of looking more normal. These stars that were doing it in the 80s and the 90s, it's permanent. Like, they pull and they cut. And she paid money to look like that. Paid a lot of money. Meg Riot, she was like our sweetheart, wasn't she?
Teddy Van Halen
I know. And now she draws comparisons to, like, the Joker. It's that Joker smile. It's like we're seeing the. We're seeing the legacy of that in people like Jennifer Aniston. Or these people are getting that lower facelift where it's pulling the lips way. Like it's flattening them and it's pulling them way too far.
Rob Shooter
Yeah. They don't realize that your lips are part of your skin. And when you pull, pull here, you're gonna pull the wrinkles out, but you're also gonna pull the smile back to here and here and look like the Joker.
Kinsey Schofield
Look, guys, I'm all about talking shit, but I will be getting a facelift one day.
Teddy Van Halen
Right. But, I mean, don't you think you're gonna go to, like, somebody who's not gonna make it undetectable?
Rob Shooter
Yeah.
Kinsey Schofield
You know, who's. The girl from the Real Housewives who's. Who's getting a divorce right now? That just had a really good one.
Rob Shooter
Oh, she looks good. That's how to do it. Pick somebody out.
Teddy Van Halen
Denise Richards.
Kinsey Schofield
Denise Richards. I'll go to Denise Richards.
Teddy Van Halen
She did have a really good chase.
Rob Shooter
Look. Has a good one. Yeah. And I think with Meg, back when she did this and it was a while ago she did it, there wasn't that many options that.
Kinsey Schofield
And it was probably premature, right?
Rob Shooter
It was premature. You know, it's like everything.
Teddy Van Halen
So many of them are still doing a premature. We were just talking about Emma Stone and Anne Hathaway, two young women who have had what will be the first of many facelifts because they don't stay that way forever. Gravity always wins.
Rob Shooter
Yeah, it does. It does win. Whenever something new comes out, whether it be an iPhone or a facelift, don't be the first to get it.
Teddy Van Halen
Yeah, wise words. Don't be the first to buy a Tesla.
Rob Shooter
You blow up in a Tesla. Don't be the first to buy a Tesla.
Teddy Van Halen
Don't come for me, Elon Musk. Elon. Or do.
Kinsey Schofield
Because if he gets you knocked up, you're set for life.
Teddy Van Halen
It's. You couldn't pay me enough money.
Rob Shooter
Now we have enough money. Okay. A musical performance is happening.
Teddy Van Halen
It's the Sinner's musical performance. It's the most nominated film of all time. Of all time. And I'm just gonna tell you, it's not a masterpiece. It's a vampire movie. You troublemakers have actually made the comparison. I never sat through the whole thing. I didn't like it. But it's basically a ripoff of Till From Dusk Till Dawn.
Kinsey Schofield
Really?
Teddy Van Halen
That's how I put that. Dave the dp, a real cine ass is nodding in a scent.
Rob Shooter
And the big controversy this year about the musical category is normally all five nominated songs perform. This year, they're only doing two.
Kinsey Schofield
Weird.
Rob Shooter
And so they're tipping their hand. Who's going to win?
Teddy Van Halen
They're not going to know who's going to win. But, I mean, you're so right.
Rob Shooter
They're not doing five. This year, they're just doing two. But yet they have time for Conan to open the show with 20 minutes.
Teddy Van Halen
I don't know if this song is nominated. You guys know how I feel about Chris Stapleton. I love Chris Stapleton. He had a song. His song was the song of F1 1, Brad Pitt's race car movie called Bad as I Used to Be. It's a great song. Do you think Chris Stapleton was invited to perform at the Oscars? No. Because he's country.
Kinsey Schofield
Yeah.
Teddy Van Halen
No, he's. They would consider him a hick and they would consider his audience. I am among them hicks and rubes.
Rob Shooter
And that's why the ratings are not going to be great.
Teddy Van Halen
Exactly.
Kinsey Schofield
And is the super bowl listening to us? Is the super bowl in the NFL? I'm so sick of crappy stuff. Super bowl half. Give us George Strait. Give us Chris Stapleton. Super Bowl. They don't.
Rob Shooter
They.
Kinsey Schofield
They are so out of touch with the real world. But also, isn't weapons just a ripoff of Hocus Pocus?
Teddy Van Halen
I. Weapons felt like Stephen King light to me. And weapons. I felt, you know, we're off the track. We have to get to our plastic sur.
Kinsey Schofield
Sorry, sorry.
Teddy Van Halen
Let's go back in prompter, please, to our plastic surgery nominees and tell me we've got my Jim Carrey gag ready to go. Marlena, there he is. Okay, now, Jim Carrey. This is Jim Carrey before. This is Jim Carrey after. On the right. Now this is a contender, and I'll tell you why. There's bad plastic surgery and then there's the kind of plastic surgery that has the entire Internet believing that you're dead and that this current incarnation is a CIA plant. This is a genuine theory going around. Okay, Bradley Cooper. Okay, this is Bradley in 2013 at the Hangover 3 premiere. No, this is Bradley now. This is Bradley now. Now, they say they call him Bradley Manilow because of. Of this. I mean, the hairpiece is all wrong, so obviously a hairpiece. Just my opinion. But he got that feminizing plastic surgery that it's like. It's almost like a kind of facial wasting that you would see among a certain kind of gay man.
Kinsey Schofield
You know, I think it's a lower bluff, too, right? Doesn't it?
Teddy Van Halen
Definitely. Then we've got Demi Moore. Talk about original faces.
Kinsey Schofield
Gorgeous.
Teddy Van Halen
Her original. She probably had a few tweaks.
Rob Shooter
And this is.
Teddy Van Halen
This is her now. And again, you can see. It's like fake hair. You can see the skin. You can see all of the injectables and everything that's been done in there. And then we. I think we have a final one that is. Oh, oh, Jigsaw. They put Jigsaw next to Davee. The girls were like, you gotta Include Jigsaw. The winner, the nerves winner is Jim Carrey. Because again, if you can inspire a bonkers conspiracy theory like that, you have won. And now I want to show just as a reminder of exactly who we're watching tonight, those of us who are watching these people are out of their minds. We're going to play Jim Carrey who made a video on his phone to Emma Stone.
Kinsey Schofield
Oh, I remember this.
Teddy Van Halen
And we're waiting for that because Marlene is like, where is it? Guys, I'm gonna roll some heads back there. I'm gonna leave the set and I'm gonna. This is a message for Emma Stone. Emma, I just wanted to let you know that I think you're all the way beautiful. Not just pretty, but smart and kind hearted. If I were a lot younger, he's from the eastern. I would marry you. We would have chubby little freckle faced kids. We laugh all day long, go camping
Kinsey Schofield
and play Yahtzee by this point. And he's a, you know, an established
Teddy Van Halen
actor who's probably middle aged, has probably. His kids were adults by then. He was divorced. This was 2011. And he's talking about, about how he wants to marry her.
Kinsey Schofield
Yeah.
Teddy Van Halen
Have chubby babies and that the sex between them would be phenomenal.
Kinsey Schofield
Oh, God. Good Lord.
Teddy Van Halen
Do you remember this?
Kinsey Schofield
Do you think he.
Rob Shooter
For some reason. And I know this stuff. This is not a memory I have. I'm shocked that I don't know about him, but I'm shocked he did. But this isn't TMZ or radar captioning. So he thought this was a really good idea. Yeah, it's a lot of work to make these little videos. And he decided, he decided to do this and post it. Their judgment. Their judgment. It's so, so shady.
Kinsey Schofield
Oh, wait, you guys. So we're seeing Timmy on the big screen as well.
Rob Shooter
Tease. So what they're doing throughout the show is. Yeah, they're teasing the five. Five best picture nominations. They teased sinners. Now they're doing Timothy.
Kinsey Schofield
Are we gonna acknowledge though, that God bless, Bless Timothy's movie for giving Fran Drescher some work again? Because I love the nanny and I love Fran Drescher. I don't care. I don't care who knows.
Rob Shooter
I did. I. I've seen this movie and I did like all the little surprise cameos. Sandra Bernhardt's in there. I think we have Isaac Mizarahi in there too. And I did chuckle to myself.
Teddy Van Halen
I did chuckle.
Rob Shooter
In fact, the only one in it that was annoying was, was the star but everybody else. Yeah, just the star was to watch
Teddy Van Halen
or root four or anything while we're watching the show.
Rob Shooter
While we're doing our show. It seems like Conan has made himself the star of this in ways that hosts haven't in previous years. Normally the host will open the show and then disappear. He feels like he's doing bits throughout the whole evening, which could get very tiresome very quickly.
Kinsey Schofield
But also is that they're smacking.
Teddy Van Halen
They're playing. Okay. This is okay. They've got somebody in the orchestra who's got a prosthetic ass and took two ping pong paddles just like this and was playing the ass with the ping pong paddles. The academy hates this kid. They fucking hate this kid. They're roasting him like we do on the nerve. Timothy. Top level. Shit. I can't wait. I can't wait. There's a troublemaker in here, by the way, who said I've had a facelift. Trust me, I would tell you if I had one. It's like I'm. I would be terrified to get one. I go. I get tons of lasers and all that stuff.
Kinsey Schofield
I would, I would, I would tell you. I would tell you guys. If she had to. And she hasn't. She's a natural effing beauty.
Teddy Van Halen
A kids. You're so sweet.
Kinsey Schofield
Thank you.
Teddy Van Halen
These guys are so.
Rob Shooter
Tell me, tell me. I love them.
Teddy Van Halen
What are they? You need to fix your technical.
Rob Shooter
No, no kidding. No kidding.
Teddy Van Halen
There is some sort of weird retrograde happening.
Kinsey Schofield
Listen, guys, I will teabag anyone that can fix the technical things.
Rob Shooter
There's six guys that have come running in the room. That's an offer we should not make on television. That's an offer that you should not make.
Teddy Van Halen
No kidding. No kidding. Oh, there's Martin Scorsese in an iPhone ad. You know, this is cinema.
Kinsey Schofield
I'm wondering if the objective here with all of his little bits is viral moments. And I think if you are like the three of us, we've loved Hollywood. We love old Hollywood. That is especially annoying. And I really do think that that's who you have watching the younger demo. They don't care. Maybe they'll see this on X, maybe they'll see this on TikTok later and you might get a like. But for us, we are annoyed by these moments.
Rob Shooter
I find that any viral moment that you have to create never goes viral. Viral.
Teddy Van Halen
Yeah. Oh, my God. Anna Wintour, just walking.
Rob Shooter
That's the devil. So no, Meryl, they got Anna instead.
Teddy Van Halen
And you know what else? Okay, we are so into this at the Nerve. And if we could please capture this and then show it to the troublemakers on our live stream, please, you guys,
Rob Shooter
not wearing the sunglasses, which means you can't win the teleprompter. Those sunglasses are prescription.
Teddy Van Halen
I know, I know. It's her vanity. Yeah, it's her vanity.
Rob Shooter
I was once in the theater.
Kinsey Schofield
She does look confused.
Rob Shooter
The lights went down in the theater and she put on her sunglasses because she couldn't see without the prescriptions on.
Teddy Van Halen
And she wouldn't wear regular eyeglasses.
Rob Shooter
She won't wear regular eyeglasses. That's why you see her. So she can't read the teleprompter here.
Kinsey Schofield
She looks scared and confused, and she's scared. And why she's not reading the teleprompter.
Rob Shooter
And why is the new editor in chief not there?
Kinsey Schofield
He's.
Rob Shooter
Where's Chloe? Where's Chloe?
Teddy Van Halen
Chloe. She's burying Chloe's remains right now. Stedman. Oh, here comes the sunglasses. I'm sure they're both wearing Prada. They're both also wearing. Their chokers are like almost identical.
Kinsey Schofield
Yes.
Teddy Van Halen
They're very royal.
Kinsey Schofield
Regal.
Teddy Van Halen
Very regal. And this is very interesting. Guys. How are we doing on getting that up?
Kinsey Schofield
She said one word, right?
Rob Shooter
She said one word. What's interesting, too, is the first ever wears Prada. Anna did not promote. Anna had nothing to do with it. She put out a very cheeky, very smart sentence sound by saying that at Vogue, we love a good piece of fiction. Funny. But she didn't support the. That fact. First movie, this movie, she's promoting it. She's out there.
Teddy Van Halen
Yes. Not only that. And they're. This is interesting. They're. They're presenting for costume design. There were a number of actresses who would not take the role of Andy Sachs because they were too afraid to make Anna Wintour an enemy. So Anne Hathaway was like way down on the bottom of that list, and she took it. And now look at this.
Rob Shooter
That's right.
Teddy Van Halen
Now, this is how it works. There's no insult. That is too vicious. If something makes money and it lands in the culture, all is forgiven.
Kinsey Schofield
It is.
Rob Shooter
It's forg. I don't want to make it all by myself, but I, I. My book that's coming out that you've been so kind about, I, like, had reservations because I'm telling secrets about people I've worked with. You're going to recognize a lot of people in this book, and so it's fun to do, but I had reservations myself. You don't want to burn many bridges. And so I can't imagine with the Devil Wears Prada. Of course, the A list actresses wouldn't touch it because they'd never. If you said, Anna, you're done. But, but I would argue that movie made Anna a bigger star.
Teddy Van Halen
Absolutely.
Rob Shooter
It actually flattered her. It made her.
Teddy Van Halen
And that movie lives on forever. Forever, generations and generations. It's become a modern day classic. And so you have people like you're talking about who would never watch the Oscars, who absolutely know who Anna Wintour is.
Rob Shooter
They say she's a Miranda Priestly. People at home are saying, that's Miranda Priest. Miranda Priestly.
Teddy Van Halen
And to your point, Chloe Mal, she should be up there. She's not.
Rob Shooter
She's not.
Teddy Van Halen
She's not. You know why Anna's not going anywhere?
Kinsey Schofield
She's so boring.
Teddy Van Halen
She's so boring.
Kinsey Schofield
Well, that.
Teddy Van Halen
But that's why Anna picked her. Anna picked her. So that they'll come right back to Anna and say, there's only one you.
Rob Shooter
That's right.
Teddy Van Halen
Let's get rid of this dead weight.
Rob Shooter
You know, never let the person that's leaving replace themselves because I'm going to pick someone awful. But I can't come. One week. I'm going to be here every week. But if there's one week I can't come, I'm going to send a stinker to sit in this seat.
Teddy Van Halen
Rob. You know, it's really smart. You know, it really is smart. I mean, I called Anna Wintour. It's like the Bob Iger playbook. He's always leaving Disney. But then they always, they were like, please come back.
Rob Shooter
That's so awful.
Teddy Van Halen
The person you hand picked. It sucks.
Kinsey Schofield
Yes.
Rob Shooter
Yeah, it's really quite trumpy Trump does this. It's brilliant.
Kinsey Schofield
The person you picked gave us Rachel Ziegler.
Teddy Van Halen
Okay, so we've got Anna. We're gonna look at Anna coming out with Anne Hathaway. And I do think this floral Sprite.
Kinsey Schofield
I think we're looking at the ass cheek drum.
Teddy Van Halen
Oh, that was the ass cheek drum, guys. No, we want Anna Wintour.
Kinsey Schofield
We'll take a nice ass cheek drum.
Teddy Van Halen
No, Anna Wintour. These guys. Oh. Jacob Elordi and Ethan Hawker chatting.
Rob Shooter
Yeah.
Teddy Van Halen
No, we don't have it. I don't know what's going on.
Rob Shooter
Well, we can look at his bottom still. There he is. Bottom, bottom. It's funny once. They've done it three times. It was, it was funny once. Yeah. They hate him. They really don't like him to do that.
Teddy Van Halen
Oh, they really really like you. Really hate him.
Rob Shooter
Don't like you at all. Here they are.
Kinsey Schofield
There's Anna's still on this screen.
Teddy Van Halen
The ad is still on screen with Anne Hathaway. And I'm hearing. It's coming in. Here it is. You see it now. Oh, there they are. I actually do think that a meticulously crafted headdress, a simple pair of semi
Kinsey Schofield
complex and dramatic pieces that bring to
Teddy Van Halen
life gossip or watching red turn rotten.
Kinsey Schofield
The character's costume is key. These girls are really promoting this damn movie.
Teddy Van Halen
They are, I agree.
Rob Shooter
But the biggest star is Meryl. We. We love Anna because we live in New York. We know she's a star because we live in New York. My family would not know who that is. Bring that Meryl.
Teddy Van Halen
Even though you're from England.
Rob Shooter
Yeah. They wouldn't know Anna. They don't. Because we live in this bubble in New York. And I try so hard to not to get like carried away with it, but we know stuff that people don't know. And it's not that we're smarter. We're just bombarded with it. In New York.
Kinsey Schofield
They're also making this for. Well, I want to say they're making it for us. But then they've got the Tick tock
Rob Shooter
people all over the place and they've got it. They've got to reach middle. They've got to reach regular people for this movie to be a hit. Meryl Streep. Where's Meryl? Come on, Meryl.
Teddy Van Halen
This is what I'm wondering. Does Meryl think the movie's a stinker?
Rob Shooter
I hear it's not great.
Teddy Van Halen
That would not surprise me.
Rob Shooter
I've heard it has very Sex in the City vibes where Just not like
Teddy Van Halen
Sex in the City too, maybe.
Rob Shooter
I hear it's lovely seeing the characters again because we love these characters. I want to see them again. But I hear there's nothing to the movie.
Teddy Van Halen
I mean, what could the plot possibly be? It's got to be the lowest of low stakes, right?
Rob Shooter
And why did it take 20 years to make it? There's no story, there's nothing.
Teddy Van Halen
There's no reason. This is a cash grab. That's why Meryl's not there. I'll bet you that's it. She doesn't think the movie's very good at all. And she's not going to throw her considerable. Listen, she would throw. There was where there was a time she had no problem throwing her weight behind Harvey Weinstein. I'd like to thank God. I mean, Hardy and then, you know, Oh, I had no idea. Which you know, as I. As I once wrote, not even the world's greatest actress could sell that line.
Kinsey Schofield
But we also.
Rob Shooter
That's a good line. Yours is a good line.
Teddy Van Halen
Thank you.
Rob Shooter
Yeah.
Teddy Van Halen
Sorry, what was that, kids?
Kinsey Schofield
I was gonna say, but he probably did not try to take her to pound town.
Teddy Van Halen
No, but she knew.
Kinsey Schofield
Yeah.
Teddy Van Halen
Again, Courtney Love on a red carpet in the 90s.
Kinsey Schofield
Yeah.
Teddy Van Halen
Marlena, we need you to come in because we are coming towards the end and we have a. A visual gag that we need help with. And I think you know where of I speak. Oh, you know what else is going in the wood chipper and we'll do it after. This is Jennifer Aniston's ATM card. The Aniston ATM card that Jim Curtis is currently in the process of shredding to bits. You think Jennifer Aniston doesn't have a credit limit? She does and this guy's exceeding it. $25 million apartment in New York City for this apple.
Kinsey Schofield
There we go.
Teddy Van Halen
Bye. Well. Again the wood chipper's having technical.
Kinsey Schofield
Jim Curtis won this round so much
Teddy Van Halen
he might have wonder. Here comes Marlena. She was going to dress as Timothy as a. As a. As like a 30 something year old lesbian. Do we have that Timothy image? Can we throw that up in the red? The back looks red. These are. Let's. They're gonna try and pull it up. This is our Jim Curtis yellow butterfly. Timothy, win or lose. Just look for the yellow butterfly. Which died. Which died. And we're gonna just let. Happy Oscar night before we go. Thank you again to Zebiotics Pre Alcohol for sponsoring our first Nerve live stream.

Podcast: The Nerve with Maureen Callahan
Host: MK Media
Episode: The Nerve's OSCARS Livestream
Airdate: March 16, 2026
Panelists: Maureen Callahan (Host), Teddy Van Halen (Co-host), Rob Shooter (Celebrity Reporter), Kinsey Schofield (Pop Culture Commentator)
The Nerve’s first-ever Oscars livestream brings together a sharp, irreverent panel to dissect the 2026 Academy Awards with equal parts snark, pop culture insight, Hollywood gossip, and biting commentary. The episode focuses on red carpet analysis, frontrunner drama (especially around Timothée Chalamet), Hollywood’s obsession with legacy and image, plastic surgery, and media influence. The hosts pull no punches, offering a brutally honest—and often hilarious—take on Oscars night, celebrity behavior, fashion wins and fails, industry politics, and the relentless churn of fame.
Tone: Outspoken, clever, unapologetically gossipy, with moments of heartfelt Hollywood nostalgia.
On Timothée Chalamet’s Chances:
On Celebrity PR Games:
On Nepotism in Hollywood:
On Arrogance in Young Stars:
On Industry’s Ghoulish Aspects:
On Meg Ryan:
The episode captures the cynicism and spectacle of Oscar night in 2026 through the lens of pop culture obsessives who are equal parts insiders and outsiders. With its fast-paced repartee and gleeful take-downs, the livestream is as much about skewering Hollywood’s pretensions as it is about celebrating (and mourning) the elusive ideal of the “true movie star.”
Essential listening for anyone who prefers their awards coverage with a side of biting humor and fearless honesty.
