OSCARS

The most dreaded day of early 2011 has finally come and gone. We are, of course, talking about the end of awards season. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Awards Season is generally one of the happiest times of the year, mostly because we get to judge people based solely on their appearance [and sometimes their talent or lack thereof] and everyone finds this to be socially acceptable. I think we can all admit that it is a glorious time.

So last night was the be all end all of awards shows- The Academy Awards. Good ole' Oscar himself! It is often entertaining, enjoyable and upsetting. Last night, it was barely any of those things. I was bored to tears for about 99.9% of the broadcast and there was nary an upset. It was a relatively predicatble show. However, I did not predict how utterly awful James Franco and Anne Hathaway would be as hosts. I really had hopes for those two. Oh well, I guess you can't always be right!

Speaking of not being right, lets get right down to it with the Oscar fashion. Now, I realized last night while watching the show that I seemed to have pretty different opinions on the fashions than my co-watchers did. I'm ok with that, but am definitely curious to know your thoughts on the comments below.

Let's start with those who get a grade of FAIL!!!

FAIL

I have to say, I was probably most perplexed by Nicole Kidmans dress. I know for a FACT that Keith Urban has better fashion sense than that dress, so why in the GD Hell he'd let her out of the house in it is a mystery to me. Everything about it is just wrong. I see absolutely no redeeming qualities. On the other hand, her face looks GORGEOUS. The no botox thing is really, really working for her. She had some pretty terrible picks throughout this entire awards season so I think the first item on her to do list should be Get A New Stylist!

Javier is the epitome of yumminess and would've looked phenominal in cargo shorts and a polo shirt, but Penelope really missed the mark on this dress. I will say, this photo looks much better than the live feed from the red carpet, but last night the dress looked ill-fitting, uncomfortable and just not right all around. Penelope looked very uncomfortable in it which I think is the first sign of THIS IS THE WRONG DRESS. I thank the good Lord everyday that my life and career do not require a constant need for formal wear. My Senior prom was one of my most glorious life moments because I knew that rarely to never again would my world revolve around some stupid dress. I legitimately feel for these people- it can't be easy!

Please meet the first dress that me and my co-watchers disagreed on. I just don't like it- so sue me. I KNOW that Natalie can rock this pregnancy because she has done it at other awards shows and done it well. This dress looks like something that she borrowed from Dame Hellen Mirren's closet. She could've done a better job of looking young, fresh and fabulous without looking like a MOM.

Annette Benning's dress was mostly just unflattering. It also kind of looks like a flashy Mother of the Bride dress from David's Bridal. For those of you who are unsure, that's NOT a good thing.

My biggest question for Marisa Tomei is, who made that dress? Frankly, it could've been me [ps, i'm not a great seamstress!]. Why does the sweetheart neckline come almost up to her collar bone? I am supremely confused by this dress.

Um, yeah. World, meet Steven Spielberg's 14 year old daughter. Evidently it was unplanned for her to attend the Oscars with Daddy and she had to make due with one of her mother's old nighties. The look could've worked if she didn't have that HAIR and the "I'll eat your babies. Don't dare me" look on her face. Lets give her a few more years to mature before parading her out to another award show.

MEH

This Valentino dress is quite lovely on Anne Hathaway, but I really, REALLY despise the random flowers from the hip down. They were an unnecessary accent.

I think that Michelle Williams looks lovely and that this dress fits her quite well, but I'm just so BORED with it. Do something exciting for once!!

.

Ok, let me be clear here- Reese Witherspoon really looks phenominal. However, I'm pretty sure they were carrying that dress at Jessica McClintock when I was looking for the afore mentioned prom dress, so I feel like she could've modernized her look a bit and wouldn't have hurt a soul.

Ok, I love, love , love this dress on Amy Adams, but she ruined it for me with the necklace. Big earrings would've been a better choice. Also, the neckline and the sleeves need a bit of proportion. If you want a slight neck, bring the sleeves in, if you want an exaggerated shoulder, bring the neckline down. I think those slight changes would've done wonders for the dress and definitely would've taken it to the next level [that would be the WIN level].

Ok. Jennifer Lawrence is smoking hot. I get that. What I don't get is why she is wearing a jersey knit American Apparel dress to the Oscars. Ok, ok, fine, it's actually Calvin Klein, but you get my point? She looks like she's about to pop over to a bonfire at the beach. The dress is gorgeous and she is totally rocking it, I just dont think that its the right look for the Oscars.

Jennifer Hudson looks AMAZING. Absolutely amazing. She deserves mad mad props for her hard work to lose weight. I actually dont hate this dress. I dont love the color, but I definitely don't hate the dress. I do, however, have one issue. As most people know, if you have any boobs at all and you lose weight, they are generally the first item that you lose. Our dear friend Jennifer has lost EIGHTY pounds on Weight Watchers so I am a little confused why she continues to wear dresses that accentuate her lack of boobies. We have a couple of options here my friend- let me lay them out for you. We can either wear dresses that dont necessarily accentuate the pancake boob, we can tuck those puppies into said dress, or we can fix the problem. Other than that, I think she looks gorgeous.

I really cannot decide if I hate this dress or not. There is something totally unique and lovely about it, but at the same time I can't help thinking that the dress should be serving as a wrapper for a really exotic chocolate bar.

Did Sandra Bullock get the end of her nose clipped? Her face looks weird.

WIN

Love, love, love, love, LOVE this dress. I gotta get on that GOOP diet!

It really took some time for me to decide which category to put this dress in. I ultimately love it, so decided the WIN category was where it belonged. I think with a few tweaks this dress definitely could've been a better version of itself, but I'm still not mad at it. Kate Blanchette totally rocked this look when it wouldn't have worked on a lot of other people.

Love this look. I love that Busy Phillips was only at the Oscars as Michelle Williams date, yet she totally out shined many of the nominees. I want to be her best friend- she looks like fun!

I do not love Hilary Swank, but I do love this dress. Party at the top, Zoo at the bottom. What could be better??

Ok, if I had to give an Academy Award to best dressed overall during Awards Season, it would definitely go to Mila Kunis. She has knocked it out of the park time and time and time again. I love this color on her, I think its a great look for the red carpet, and dog gone it, she gets an Oscar in my eyes!

So, I don't love Scarlett Johannson, but 1) this color and color is WORKING for her. Makes me wanna chop my hair off & 2) I really like this dress. I've never quite seen anything like it and I'm a big fan. The boob portion is slightly odd, but I can overlook that. Nicely done!

The boys of The Social Network were rocking it hard last night. Andrew Garfield gets a big fat ME-OW from this girl.

There's something completley awkward about Jessie Eisenburg that unexplainably makes me want to cuddle him to sleep. He looked like a fox last night.

I'm not sure if it's totally fair to give an escort the pick of BEST DRESSED, but I am completely obsessed with the dress that Marky Mark's wife wore last night. Its got color, its got sparkle, and she is ROCKING IT. Love, love, love it.

And so, dear friends, that brings us to the end of our Award recaps, at least for a few more months. Stay tuned for more and spread the word!

Have a great week one and all!
