Pressing questions about last night’s Oscars:
Angie: dress was meh, hair was kinda large, but the earrings were gorgeous.
But can someone please explain to me the physics of such a pair of earrings? How have her ears not stretched into floppy loops from the sheer weight?
Then we have Nicole Kidman, who honored Angie for her best actress nod. (P.S. I loved that format, of having 5 actors introduce the acting nominees. Even if it took a long time, and even if it was, as I suspect, simply a device that made it possible to say some kind and reflective things about Heath Ledger when announcing his name, I loved it. I hope they keep it.)
I love that Nic rocks the fair skin and doesn’t get all fake tanned, (though the Botox is a whole ‘nother story) but why, for the love of all that is sacred and holy, has no stylist convinced her that she should not wear clothes that make her look like Casper?
The dress is probably lovely, it’s just hard to tell because all I see up there is pale.
Nextly, what is up with the random young actresses, (it’s sort of unclear to me how they got invited in the first place), dressing themselves in wackadoodle, voluminous gowns? You are young! And have cute figures! Why do you insist on drowning in weird fabric-scuplture?
Exhibit A:
Amanda Seyfried, if your goal was to make us forget that you were in Mama Mia and Big Love by looking so much like the ditz you played in Mean Girls congratulations! You succeeded!
Exhibit B:
Miley, are those…fish scales? Seashells? WHAT IS GOING ON THERE?
Finally, and this is the most burning question of all: Why the hell was I subjected to so much of Zac Efron last night? And if ABC was going to take advantage of being the network home for the Oscars by trotting out their bankable teen hunk, would it have been so hard for someone to teach the kid how to do his hair?
I mean, seriously. Ew.
Dude, Zac Ephron’s hair was TERRIBLE, wasn’t it? Uch. Way to ruin a perfectly good, if inappropriately aged, hottie.
1) Clip ons and a shot of morphine to dull the pain.
2) Amen! Nicole has a way with the light colored clothes that completely drown her out. She needs to learn how to rock out the porcelain skin, not disappear into it.
3) I totally disagree with your thoughts on Amanda Seyfried. I thought her dress was bright and stunning. Nicole could learn a lesson or two from the young’un.
4) Agreed on Miley.
5) Zac is probably doing what the talking heads at ABC told him to do. When they’re young like that, someone else is likely telling them what to do.
I loved when Zac Attacks top hat fell off after the big crazy musical number with Beyonce (my nemesis since she subjected me to THAT CABLE COMMERCIAL for a year straight).
I loved the earrings but If they were real…ouch!
I agree with you 100% about Nicole Kidman, a pop of color won’t kill her.
The 5 presenters was brillant. I got all teary when Health won.
Oh, I gotta disagree with you, most respectfully. Those earrings were hideous!! And Nicole Kidman is gorgeous. The dress, the hair, the makeup. I want to be Nicole Kidman without the Tom Cruise history and alcoholic husband.
I like the five presenters myself. Yes, it took more time, but I felt it imbued the Oscars with a sense of history that is usually missing.
What is with Sophia Loren? My husband said “her skin is years older than the rest of her.” Stop the plastic surgery nonsense!!
On the blog I just showed you she tracks how many white dresses by the same designer Nicole will wear. TIME FOR A CHANGE KTHXBAI.
Also, I agree about Amanda Seyfried. The dress was a sack. A sack!
Totally agree on Angelina and Nicole. I did love Nicole’s dress, just not on her, or on her in a color.
I totally disagree about Amanda. I only saw that one pic, but I thought she looked lovely. Color! Yay! I even strayed from my no-bows rule and gave it a thumbs up.
Miley… First thought: She is campaigning for the role of Scarlett in a GWTW remake.
Zac – along with Robert Pattinson and Mickey Rourke – creeped me right the heck out.
