Pre-Oscar 2016 Parties and Fashion events

Just days before the annual Oscar awards, Hollywood parties like there is no tomorrow. All over town A-list actors, actresses, directors, producers and writers get to be dressed by noted designers and attend a soiree of parties given at hotels, restaurants, and private venues that all seem to collide into one big kaleidoscope of fashion.

If you haven’t seen the first season of Doll & Em, the cleverly humorous HBO serial comedy starring Emily Mortimer, a British actress familiar to US fans of The Newsroom (and artsy films such as Woody Allen’s Match Point and Paris Je T’aime) and her bestie, Dolly Wells, don’t let that stop you from jumping into the second season.

Jason O’Mara’s got Complications
Dish Magazine

Why does Complications have to be so complicated? Only the USA Network knows for sure, until now that is!

This new show features everything a good serial thriller might need; a handsome Atlanta emergency room Doctor John Ellis, played by Jason O’Mara, for example, who is still dealing with the emotional effects of his daughter’s death. In addition, he unexpectedly becomes a vigilante hero when he intervenes in a drive-by shooting, saving a young boy’s life.
