Oscar Thoughts

Let's face it....the Oscars were pretty boring this year, for the most part. With the exception of the surprise winner for Best Actress, all of the winners were shoo-ins weeks ago. I typically like to see at least some, if not all, of the Best Picture nominated movies prior to the Oscars but this year I have not seen a one (although I have made plenty of time this year to go see some chick flicks like 27 Dresses and Definitely, Maybe - both of which were cute!). I do really want to see Juno and No Country For Old Men - maybe they will be out on DVD sometime during my maternity leave!

No, the true reason I tuned in to the Oscars this year was to, of course, check out what the actresses were wearing on the red carpet. Oddly enough, almost all of my favorites were wearing red! Katherine Heigl (my favorite of the night), Anne Hathaway, Heidi Klum and Helen Mirren (don't have a picture of her) all rocked red and looked fabulous.




I also loved the dress worn by the Best Actress winner, Marion Cotillard. It was unique, sexy and elegant, all rolled into one dress:


There were few duds out there this year, to Hollywood's credit, but there were a few notable standouts (I failed to include a picture of Best Supporting Actress winner Tilda Swinton - hers was by far the worst look of the night!):

Cameron Diaz - I thought this was a gorgeous dress style, but the color was horrible on her:


Ellen Page - This dress just didn't do anything for me at all. You can wear black and it not have to look frumpy:


Sarah.....does anyone know the last name of George Clooney's girlfriend?? I really dislike this dress, from the ruffles to the various pastel colors. It really is a shame, too, since she is standing next to such a gorgeous native of Kentucky. Sigh....maybe I am just jealous of her!
