The GQ awards took place last night. No, there wasn’t a deep meaningful speech from Russell Brand slagging off the awards or a Gallagher on hand to make some snide comments, but stuff still happened, and we’ve still got some questions. Here we present to you some questions with their answers and some questions we just don’t have the answers to because sometimes we don’t always know what’s going on, and something tells us even if we were there, the free booze might have made things a little cloudy anyway. Which all makes us feel better about spending our night in front of Divergent wondering which faction we’d be in, right?

Is Kim Kardashian wearing a bubble wrap dress?

No, actually not! Kim – full name Kim Kardashian-West – was wearing a specially made dress from Ralph & Russo Couture, which apparently took five whole days to make. Yeah, we’d be totally alarmed by this if we didn’t totally understand that five days is a totally reasonable amount of time to spend making a dress from scratch.

Did Tony Blair really win an award for philanthropist of the year?

Yes! We’ll leave it up to another website more concerned with philanthropy, the work of Non-Governmental Organisations and, um, the life and times of ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair to tell you what he’s actually done for philanthropy in 2013/2014.

What we love is that this controversial award (given to a man whose legacy will probably be invading Iraq in 2003) was congratulated by none other than Lindsay Lohan. The actress, whom we’re really glad to see working again, Instagrammed an image of herself on stage at the Royal Opera House along with the caption: ‘Thanks you so much #gqawards congratulations to #tonyblair’. Even though she handed out an award to chef Tom Kerridge...

When we click on that hashtag, it takes us to a screengrab of a tweet reading: ‘Tony Blair’s very philanthropic, he donated all those cluster bombs to Iraqi kids.’ :/

**Isn’t that Douglas Booth attractive? When can we see him again? **

 

Yes! And, very soon. You’re going to see him in The Riot Club, a film based on Posh, the play that’s pretty much based on the antics of Oxford’s Bullingdon Club. And if you don’t fancy him much, check out Max Irons and Sam Claflin in the same films. Oh, and if you don’t even fancy boys, Natalie Dormer’s in it, too!

Is Sam Smith the new Adele?

He’s hanging out with big-time celebrities (Kimye, Lewis Hamilton, Nicole Scherzinger, Jonah Hill and his beard, and Pharrell and his hat were all on his table) and he’s got beautiful eyes and lips and he sings like an angel and he’s doing really well with his soulful ballad in the US. Oh, and his whole album is about heartbreak. Could he really be the new Adele?

What the fuck is that hanging out of Cara Delevingne’s mouth?

We think it’s a toothpick, just a special gold and black quasi-pipe toothpick to match Cara’s fur coat as a throwback to the times Snoop Dogg used to be an actual pimp and have a toothpick in his mouth. Which itself was a throwback to gangsters of yore – check out Boardwalk Empire or basically any Martin Scorcese film if you don’t believe us.

 

If you have any other questions, please do let us know. Some other people won, but you can find that out on GQ’s website.
