It was funny because it's great when you realize celebs are just regular ole people like us, but not funny because she is so likable and it almost felt like your best friend just fell down in front of the whole world. She recovered brilliantly!
And now, onto the red carpet. Let me start by saying, the E! red carpet correspondents often annoy me [I'm looking at you Ryan Seacrest- you should not be allowed to even look at celebrities much less open your mouth around them], but they were like a dream from heaven after we switched over to ABC's red carpet coverage. Brandi Glanville? Kelly Rowland? Kristen Chenoweth? Ew. Was everyone else busy? You would not believe the texts I got from my family members about Chenoweth. They include, but are not limited to, "Who is the blonde doing the interviews who kinda whines when she talks?", "Who is that shrimp girl on red carpet? Yikes she's stupid short. She was looking at everybody's titties!", and "Blondie is a terrible red carpet interviewer". Can we also discuss the horrific game that ABC made Kristen play with the celebs on the red carpet- the "guess whats covered up in that box" game? SO EMBARASSING!!
Ok, so now, onto the good stuff. And there WAS good stuff on the red carpet. And then there was also really, really bad stuff. We determine the real winners and losers here!
LOVE
Jennifer Aniston, only a presenter last night (has she ever been more?), looked absolutely beautiful in this gown last night. I love that full skirt dresses seemed to make a big comeback at this years Oscars. It makes everyone look extremely Old Hollywood with a modern twist. I also loved that she kept her hair and make up simple with such a bold dress. Well done Aniston!
MEH
Overall, Nicole Kidman looked really nice last night, but hers is the first of many dresses last night where the designer should have stopped at the knees. Look at how fabulous the top 1/3 of this dress is, and then what happens at the flare?? I used to put those curly q's on the notes I wrote in middle school! They are not meant for a couture gown!!!
HATE
ADELE! WOULD YOU GET A NEW STYLIST ALREADY??!! There is a way for heavier women to dress and look fantastic [use Queen Latifah as an example!] and you are not doing it right! Would you like me to tell you about a better dress? Look no further than yourself!
You looked FAB-U-LOUS during your performance! Why not on the red carpet?? Hair, makeup, dress, shoes, everything was better on stage. Switch the two next time.
LOVE
Ok, I literally kind of freaked out a little bit when Halle Berry showed up in this dress. It almost makes me speechless its so fantastic. The hint of a point at the shoulders may be what makes the whole thing. She obviously looks completely fabulous in it, but there is something about the cut and design of this dress that makes me think a woman who weighed 30 lbs heavier than Halle could still rock it and rock it right. This might have been my favorite dress of the night.
MEH
Let's start by addressing the weird clip in your hair. Did you get that at Claire's, Sandy? It was a bit odd. And now, for this dress. It isn't terrible or anything, it's actually quite pretty, but my issue with it is that it is Chocolate Brown. Gah-ross. You know what color this would have been nice in? Something bright a different. Why not a cobalt blue or a chartreuse color? Brown?? BORING.
HATE
OK. Anne, I'm going to try to cut you a little slack here since you have been murdered by everyone else over this dress, but I do just have to say WHAT WERE YOU THINKING??? YOU WON AN OSCAR IN THAT DRESS AND YOU'LL HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT FOREVER!! It is somewhat reminescent of the dress that Taylor Swift wore to the Golden Globes this year which I also hated, but Anne's is even uglier! How did she do it?? And once again, let me give you an example, FROM YOURSELF, of how great you could have looked
This dress is at least 4x better than the won she wore to the Oscars. Hope you are proud of yourself!
LOVE
Give it to us, Charlize! This dress is tied for favorite of the night. Everything about it is right. Well done!
MEH
Eh, I'm bored. I love Reese Witherspoon, but she needs to step it up. She's been playing it safe and boring lately on the red carpet. Do sumphin different!
HATE
Here is another culprit of a dress that is really fantastic at the top and then turns into a Christmas Tree skirt. It seriously looks like these designers ran out of time and went "oh just do whatever with the bottom!". Whatever is not acceptable, especially when the top is so amazing! Half of an amazing dress does not equal an amazing dress.
LOVE
Hard to believe that Stacy Keibler was once a WWE wrestler and now looks like this, but dangalang if that dress isn't amazing! I also love her hair and make up and the date ain't so bad either!
MEH
Amanda Seyfried- eh. I don't love nor hate anything about this dress, but it just doesn't do it for me. I especially don't love the halter neck with the tear drop split. It's very pageanty, the whole look, and it just doesn't do it for me.
HATE
GIRL!! No Ma'am! Who let you out of the house in that dress?? Everyone that I watched the Awards with really hated her hair and I happened to think it was the only redeeming part of this whole look. Once again, you can be a bodacious beauty and still dress WELL. This look does not count as dressing well. Sorry I'm not sorry.
LOVE
Oh girl. Now THIS is how you pick an Oscars dress that you are going to win in. I will be completely honest here and say that the color wasn't my favorite, but everything else about this dress and the look in general are flawless. You can't see it here, but the diamond necklace that she is wearing that dips down her back.....ah! I died over that. It was the perfect, subtle touch to this statement dress.
MEH
There were a lot of strong feelings about this dress last night and almost none of them were middle of the road. Most people hated it and I think I am the only one who gave it any sort of positive feedback. I like it, I don't love it, and that's about all there is to say on this one.
HATE
Oh Helen Hunt. You were doing so well with your comeback and then you wore THIS. While she was walking down the red carpet I said, "It looks like she got her dress at Jessica McClintock" and immediately after she announced that she got it at H&M! EVEN WORSE! Ryan Seacrest's response was "Oh, I drove past there on the way here." Also, did no one steam this thing before she left? That is what happens when you get a CHEAP DRESS FOR THE OSCARS!!!
LOVE
I wish Jessica Chastain would have done something different with her hair for this awards since she wore it like that for a most of the others [and also, it's boring] but this dress was where it was at! This photo does not even do it justice, but it was absolutely brilliant on the red carpet.
MEH
I actually don't hate this dress, but the person who is wearing it could be better. Is she so unaffected that she couldn't even be bothered to wash her hair for the Oscars? I am OVER this girl.
HATE
I mean, obviously.
LOVE
I mean, I almost can't even talk about how good this dress is. The tailoring is absolutely flawless. Naomi Watts has not one single bulge or fat roll in sight [that bitch!]. A one shoulder dress is hard to pull off, but this one is so unique and original and oddly flattering that I suspect we will be seeing this style a lot in the coming months.
MEH
Ok, again, why was this trick even on the red carpet? Who at ABC was dumb enough to hire her? This dress is quite lovely and chic if it actually covered up her ta-ta's. Just because you have a great rack doesn't mean that you have to have it out all the time! She looks like white trash crashing a fancy party.
HATE
This one is actually kind of weird. It's so different that I couldn't decide if I loved it or hated it but one look at that center seam and my decision was made! Who made this dress??
