The 93rd Academy Awards, aka the Oscars, is happening this weekend–and after a long cold red carpet draught thanks to Covid, let’s just say that we are pretty excited about the show. While some will be on the edge of their seats waiting to see if “Nomadland” takes home the award for Best Picture, we’ll be laser focused on what presenters like Reese Witherspoon and nominees like Vanessa Kirby will be wearing.
