Wesley Morris 2/26/2012 11:42:13 PMSo here we all are, and that’s what we’re calling tonight’s Oscars Red Carpet. Me, you, and E!. Ryan Seacrest has already spoken to four Bridesmaids and Bérénice Bejo, who, my entertainment-agnostic seatmate thought was Jeri Ryan (he’s not staying). Jessica Chastain has introduced herself to Ryan Seacrest. The movies are amazing since a year ago nobody really knew who she was, and she and LeSeacrest are talking to her nana. -
