Here are some photos from Monday night’s Beverly Hills premiere of Manchester by the Sea, the new Kenneth Lonergan film which is already getting major Oscar buzz, especially for two of its leads, Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams. To be clear, I don’t think Michelle is really the lead in this film – people are saying she would likely be nominated in the supporting category. But Casey is the lead and some believe he’s got a good shot at the Best Actor Oscar. We’ll see. The film was produced by Matt Damon, who attended with his wife, and Casey’s big brother Ben Affleck also came out to support the film. Ben looks especially rough these days.

As for Michelle, she wore this Luis Vuitton dress which… exhausts me. I’m so tired of Michelle in LV. I’m so tired of Michelle in white. All that being said, this particular LV dress is not the worst thing she’s ever worn. Here’s a front view:

At best, it’s sort of boringly attractive. I’ll say something nice: I’m beyond grateful that she seems to be growing out her hair a little bit.

Meanwhile, did you know Michelle was cast in a Janis Joplin bio-pic? She confirmed the news in an interview with E! this week. She told E! that she had been begging for the job for a while and once she got it, she started to get really nervous about it. She should be nervous. I think she’s a terrible choice for Janis. Wasn’t Amy Adams supposed to play Janis? Was that this bio-pic or a different one?
