It's All About the Dress

 

 

Unless you live under a rock somewhere in Outer Mongolia, you are probably aware that the Oscars were on last night.  I will come clean by saying I did not watch a single minute of the show.  As I get crankier in my old age, I find I just really can't stomach the entertainers that suddenly think they have all the answers and that we must listen to their opinion simply because they have the microphone and may have done a good job acting in some film or other.  I am, however, still a sucker for the glamour of it all and love to see the fashion choices made for the red carpet.  Therefore, you will be subjected to yet another "Best and Worst" dressed list...mine! 

Best

 

Yes, I might be a tad biased because I am firmly a memeber of "Team Aniston".  You can read how I feel about Brad Pitt here.  That being said, I do think she looks very fresh and that the gown is very flattering to her.  Also, I am so glad she decided to skip her usual black and go for something completely different.

 

Again, I felt Ms. Hathaway looked fresh and elegant.  Not too overdone, just lovely.

 

Taraji Henson looked fantastic.  Loved the dress, loved the hair, loved the jewelry...a terrific total package.

Worst

This year, my worst list could have gone on and on.  I really felt a little let down by many of the choices this year, but here a few that really stood out, and not in a good way.

 

I really don't even know what to say to this other than YUCK!

 

Congratulations to Melissa Leo for being nominated, but is this really the best she could do for her big night?  The color matches her hair way too closely and the sihouette is just frumpy personified.

 

I have to admit that I don't even know who Melissa George is, and I will also admit that I have seen this dress on more than one "Best Dressed" list.  For me, it was just a little too over the top and not elegant at all.

Last, but not least:

 

I love a good comeback story as much as the next guy, but honestly...do you think he smells as bad as he looks like he does? I would think a shower would be a given on Oscar night, but maybe it's just me.

What do you think?  Did you watch the show?  What dress did you love and which one made you say "not so much"?

I LOVED Kate Winslet's dress, and I HATED Tildy Swinton's blouse and skirt(!)

I could only last a minute or so past the Hugh Jackman number at the beginning, but IT was great! Then the FIRST person receiving a statue started to speak, and I realized why I don't watch this show. :(

Yep. Yep and yep. Someone had a pink dress on too. It looked nice. Doesn't that narrow it down? :)

First, let me say I did not watch one minute of the Oscars either. But I did look at the pictures of the so-called stars on-line. Wow, do I agree with you on the guy! How bad is that! I'd ask who he is, but who cares. I did not like Kate Winslet's dress. The reporter on Fox News said there were lots of pastels this year, and then she proceeded to show none of them!

mickey rourke probably can only wash his hair once a week otherwise his hair plugs will fall out :-) i agree with you on jen...she is one class act and did you notice that angelina acted as if she was sitting next to a stranger during the entire show? she never once looked over at the slimebag....er....brad, even when his name was announced for his category....
