Oscar Awards: Fashion Rewind!

 Well...another awards season has come and gone.  For once, I knew the majority of the films nominated (and I must say, I had a blast going to see them all), and I obviously know how to predict winners. {grin}

I thought the show itself was very enjoyable.  I will admit I fast-forwarded through a few (okay most) acceptance speeches.  I loved Anne Hathaway and James Franco as hosts.  Anne Hathaway's wardrobe changes were {mostly} great.  LOVED the tux w/ the sparkly stilletos!

And now...onto the fashion!

 Lots of black (pretty standard)

Sharon Stone - looks good but I just don't like her

Helen Mirren - fantastic!  I love her!

Helena Bonham Carter - typical for her.  She always talks about how she doesn't come to these shows for the fashion.  We get it - but couldn't you just try ONE time?

Reese Witherspoon - reminds me too much of Julia Roberts when she won her Oscar

Jewel tones

Scarlett Johansson - I couldn't decide for a long time on this.  I finally decided I don't like it.  It makes her body look weird and doesn't look dressy enough.  Plus her hair is a mess.
Amy Adams - I LOVE this dress.  Don't like the necklace and wish she'd pulled her hair back
Natalie Portman - looks good, not great, wearing silly earrings {so happy she won though!!}

Metallics

Celine Deion - looks fantastic
Gwenyth Paltrow - another one I can't decide on.  I think I like it (the dress is really pretty), but it doesn't seem to fit her right.
Michelle Williams - won't be worst dressed but underwhelmed.

Red Hot

Jennifer Lawrence - most improved (after the disaster at the SAG Awards)
Sandra Bullock - not feeling it
Anne Hathaway - by far, NOT my favorite look of hers from the night
Jennifer Hudson - put the girls away please, we know you lost a ton of weight but seriously we don't need to see so much of you

Twinkies #1

Is it just me or do these 2 dresses look a lot alike?  Hailee Steinfeld looks way better though.  Mandy is too pale and her lipstick is all wrong.

Twinkies #2

Strapless? Check! Shimmery? Check! Tight/slinky? Check! Feathers at bottom? Check! Another set of very similar dresses.  And I can't decide who I like better...too similar I guess.  Although I think they both look fantastic!

What Were They Thinking?

Marissa Tomei - ready for prom
Melissa Leo - the holiday doily come to life
Cate Blanchett - here's the thing - the dress is really unique, but I hate the shoulders and also think it's not really an 'Oscars' dress.

Couples

Annette Benning and Warren Beatty are just a good-looking couple, huh?  And Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem have a newborn - what?  Matthew is too orange, right?  And Christian Bale and his wife are just a beautiful couple!

Couples

Only a few comments here - Mark Ruffalo's significant other (whose name is Sunshine) looks WEIRD, when you see Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton together you kind of understand, I love Colin Firth and his wife, Nicole Kidman just looks wrong (my co-worker said she looks like a playing card - I totally see that).

Eye candy!! (When is Christian going to shave that horrendous beard?)

Best Dressed - Mila Kunis has killed it this award season.  I have just loved everything she has worn.  I thought this dress was unique, the color was gorgeous, it was totally flattering...LOVED IT!
