I don’t care at all who wins tonight movie-wise, since I have to watch all the nominees at some point, but can we just scrap all of the official nominees and give Billy Porter EVERY AWARD for this black velvet tuxedo gown?

Just the whole damn look is destroying me. The facial hair, the wide satin peak lapels, the ruffled cuffs, the skirt the size of a New York studio apartment. The massive diamond cocktail ring.

It is EVERYthing. I am dead of joy.

Give Billy Porter’s Oscar outfit a Nobel Prize.
@ScreenTestOfTime I want to see it in an art gallery next.
@pamela *slaps palms to cheeks, screams, and crumpled to the floor like a 1963 teen girl seeing The Beatles*
@ScreenTestOfTime I have a bunch of tabs open with various views and I am just going to leave them. 
@pamela I need a video. I need to see it twirl. The texture of the velvet makes every photo better than the last.
@pamela I found a video and he sweeps the skirt and I am now double dead. *faints* https://abc7ny.com/fashion/billy-porter-kicks-off-oscars-red-carpet-in-velvet-tuxedo-gown/5154596/
