Here are some photos of last night’s LA premiere of Wild, Reese Witherspoon’s “Oscar hopeful.” Reese has a much better chance at getting an Oscar nomination than Jennifer Aniston, actually. Reese has made it to most Best Actress shortlists. I’m including photos of Reese, Wild author Cheryl Strayed and Laura Dern. Dern plays Reese’s mom in the movie.

I’m also including some close-ups of Reese’s absolutely GREAT jewelry p0rn. I’m not sure if that rock is her engagement ring plus some eternity bands or if she borrowed those jewels, but they are great. Her sapphire earrings are amazing too. Reese’s dress is Zac Posen and she’s wearing nude Louboutins. I’m not really into the dress, but it’s alright. Is it just me or does Reese’s bust look…larger? Padding or bolt-ons?

Meanwhile, Reese took part in this year’s THR Actress Roundtable, which was just a roundtable of white ladies. Seriously, there are no notable women of color in film this year? The roundtable featured Amy Adams, Laura Dern, Patricia Arquette, Felicity Jones and more. You can read THR’s coverage here, I haven’t read the whole thing yet, I confess. During the discussion, the conversation came around to Renee Zellweger’s new face, Reese piped up:

The sprawling conversation covered interesting ground, and the actresses touched on a few hot-button Hollywood issues, including Renée Zellweger, who was the victim of disturbingly harsh criticism last month after some Internet users suggested that the actress’s face appeared different.

“It’s cruel and rude and disrespectful,” Witherspoon said of the Internet’s criticism of Zellweger. “It bothers me immensely . . . I know this is so Pollyanna of me, but why—and it’s particularly women—why do they have to tear women down? And why do we have to tear other women down to build another woman up? . . . Like, this one looks great without her makeup but that one doesn’t look good without her makeup, and it’s all just a judgment and assault that I don’t—look, men are prey to it as well. I just don’t think it’s with the same sort of ferocity.”

As CB and I both said at the time, it was absolutely human nature to simply NOTICE that Renee has a new face. I say it’s human nature to comment on it too, like “Wow, she’s had some work done.” Renee’s old face made her a very rich woman and she won tons of awards because of her stellar acting. Her old face was part of her brand, and she messed with her brand when she changed her face (and then blatantly lied about it). I think falling back on some kind of “that’s sexist!!!” argument IS Pollyanna. It’s the new thing that so many celebrity women are doing now – they think crying sexism is a magic wand they can wave over a conversation to shut down legitimate conversation/criticism of their behavior. And if any of you disagree with me, that’s SO SEXIST.
