AWARDS SHOW MANIA: THE OSCARS

Well, that was awkward.

At least, that's what I found myself thinking after sitting through 3 hours of this years Oscars.

James Franco was devoid of personality,

(but his grandma was great, "I just saw Marky Mark!")

and basically all Anne Hathaway did was change dresses a million times and go "WOOO!"

Oh boy...

Well, perhaps due to shock from the utter horror that was watching the event live,

I actually find myself with out much snarkysharky.

Even where, as Berit pointed out, there was an excess of glitter and fluff,

I really didn't mind.

But I grew up on stage, so glitter and fluff are basically my two best friends.

So, deepest apologies for those who enjoy my diva rants, here are my thoughts:

Sandra Bullock,

fresh off of a seriously eventful year,

looks absolutely stunning-

the dress is a jolt of fresh color,

the silhouette is boldly sculpted yet still graceful.

Plus, she speaks fluent german.

Follow the link.

Amy Adams

I love gingers, I love blue, I love sparkles. Rock on.

Halle Berry's Marchesa gown was really beautiful.

But on her, with her incredible skin, perfect pixie cut,

delightful makeup, and gigantic Chopard earrings...

breath taking.

I liked most of the dresses that Anne Hathaway wore,

but this was my favorite.

Very different from any other designs of the night,

the color is incredible, her body looks amazing,

and this is the best hairstyle she wore.

Scarlett Johansson!

oh wait no... its that chick from Winters Bone

(which you all need to see)

As for the real Lady Lost in Translation,

Berit has her thoughts, and I have mine:

saggy boobed lacy sea monster

and haphazardly applied tangerine eyeshadow?

(you knew that I was gonna be at least a LITTLE bit catty :D)

Haley Steinfeld.

an adorable, sweet, princessy, little cupcake dress

a totally precious, talented young actress

I loved her fresh, simple makeup

age appropriate, and with those lashes and that skin,

she looks amazing!

I love that she has left her eyebrows be-

they just add to her youthful charm!

And if all that wasn't cute enough for you:

Helena Bonkers Carter brought the kook in a dress designed by

winner for Best Costume Design (for Alice in Wonderland)

and the more I see of her, the more I just want to be her friend.

She seems so fun and weird!

Michele Williams

Without looking like a grandma,

Ms. Retro manages to find a refined, utterly lovely dress

that suits her pale, vintage, understated style wonderfully-

LOVE the short sleeves!

And check the updated 60's makeup,

all silver eye and peachy lip,

LOVE it!

Continuing her parade of totally awesome dresses,

Florence Welch rocks this creation,

which on any one else would have looked beyond strange.

Penelope Cruz.

um. she had a baby 2 WEEKS AGO.

is there an award of the person I am most jealous of?

that dress is so fun and sassy,

she is so sexy and talented,

her husband is so sexy and talented,

they BOTH already have oscars...

and with all that post-partum glow she looks even better than usual

who knew that was possible?

Miss Selena Gomez's basic red dress.

Plus, I adore her date.

(lets be real, I have the Fever)

Some golden moments from the show included:

Celine Dion, looking like a Canadian angel,

singing "smile" during the touching tribute montage

winning Best Art Direction for Alice in Wonderland,

Robert Stromberg and Karen O'hara put miniature Mad Hatter hats on their oscars.

This awesome NYU grad, who won for Best Short Film for Love

He was so cute and thanked his mom for doing craft services

and his girlfriend for composing the score.

And when

Inception won an award for Best Visual Effects,

I just knew that somewhere,

Joseph Gordon Levitt was all

So, there you have it,

a week late :D

Stay lovely

<3

WOO HOO OSCARS

WOW

I totally loved this years Academy Awards!

SO FUN, so glitzy and showy and old Hollywood!

Except it was sort of poorly dressed. Not the normal stampede of FABITY FAB.

Here are MY awards:

Best Dress:

Gabbie Sidibe-A stunning dress, and looked absolutely stellar on her.

Kristen Stewert-Beautifully made, and perfectly suited to her personality.

Hottest Older Woman: Director Kathryn Bigelow and her banger bod

Most Unfunny Jokes: Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin. Such great comics, such weird jokes. A few golden moments, but generally verr stiff and unnatural.

Best Entertainment piece: Neil Patrick Harris. Hilarious, handsome, great jacket, and damn what a lovely, well performed show!

Best at being an A list Ladies:

Meryl Streep- Beyond classy, you looked lovely and were so gracious.

Penelope Cruz- why must you be so damn beautiful? And your accent is beautiful. You are so poised and sexy and spanish

Kate Winslet- at one point, the camera flashed to you, and you looked like the perfect picture of elegance, I almost barfed. Your hair,

makeup, and dress were all fantastic.

Best at being an A list Sirs:

George Clooney-My belief is that you are James Bond reincarnated.

Every time the camera was on you was an awesome, entertaining moment.

(But seriously, honey, you need a haircut)

Matt Damon-Such a great actor, but you also seem like such a good dude,

with your head on straight, and just so modest.

Your accent in Invictus was entirely too desirable.

(Lovin the facial scruff, I would like to sex you up till the sun dies...)

Morgan Freeman-nuff said.

Best Presenting Pair:

Tina Fey and Robert Downey Junior-You two were HILARRRRRIOUS.

Truly golden comedic performance. But Tina, who did your hair? Go shoot them.

As for you, RDJ, loved the outfit.

Best Delicioso Gentlemen:

Taylor Lautner- I want to make naughty naughty with Taysexy quite a lot.

He looks like everything I have ever wanted in a male specimen.

(somewhere, Taylor Swift is wishing she hadn't dumped your ass...

oh and she is pissed because Cameron Diaz stole her dress.)

Ryan Reynolds- Shut up and show me where the bedroom is. You are already too damn fine, and then you wore a tux. (where was Scarlett tonight? I miss her and her ample basoomas!)

Best Tribute: To John Hughes. Because he deserved it. But uncanny tranny! Molly Ringwald was like a robot. She didn't BLINK. Also, I noticed she lost like 30 pounds for this. :( I loved your pudge.

Best Montage: James Taylor live performance during the RIP commemoration? PERFECTION.

Best WTF Moment: Oh and WHAT the eff was the clip from New Moon doing in the HORROR MOVIE MONTAGE? roflcopter.

Best AWESOME: Quentin Tarantino- You are the weirdest, most awesome freak.

Most Inspiring Moment: Gabourney Sidibe's response to Oprah's praise- You looked so lovely. And your tears of wonder were the most genuinely touching things of the

night.

Best Acceptance Speech: Sandra Bullock- You have come so far, and I have been rooting for you all the way. Your husband and you are so cute together, and your speech made me cry. Your dress wasn't great, but you got the little gold guy so who cares?

Best Surprise-but-not-really: Monique- I love you. Your speech was classy as can be, and I am just blown by your performance. Not a super big fan of the dress, but you did look lovely.

WORST WORST WORST DRESS: Zoe Saldana-You have sinned. That dress... my eyeballs are bleeding.

Thats all for now, but I will be posting more later!
