The Round-Up

Ok. Let's do this.

Right off the bat, Freida Pinto was my best dressed on the night. I thought her dress was delicate, bold, vibrant and intricate. I loved how it had a Bollywood meets Hollywood thing going on. She's obviously insanely beautiful and I thought her hair and make-up were very complimentary for the dress.  

A close second on my scorecard would go to Natalie Portman.  It seemed like the majority of dresses were white, so like Freida, Natalie stood out with her ethereal pink/lavender dress.  I had to blow up this photo to really see the draping on the bodice and it's amazing. It fit her perfectly and really, she looked so pretty.

Most reviews I've been reading didn't like Amy Adams' dress, but I loved it.  It was  great color choice and the black lining was very interesting.  I also thought her jewelry was amazing with it.  I'm sad she lost. I was rooting for her. At least she looked good!

Ok. I'm not sure how to put this.  Let me just say that I'm one of those people who believes that Angelina Jolie is the most beautiful woman on the planet.  Like, she's so gorgeous, I'm numb to it now.  But, I will say this, she needs to liven it up a bit with the fashion choices. I swear, all she wears is black.  Yes, she looks amazing and could probably wear neon orange and still be ridiculously beautiful, but that's just it. Why, if she can literally not go wrong because she's Angelina Jolie, doesn't she take some risks?

Oh dear. Where to start. I'm not sure if I could consider myself a Beyonce fan.  I mean, sure. I know the words to "Single Ladies" and totally turn it up on my iPod when I'm on the treadmill, but there's just something amiss about her for me.  And this might be making things a little clearer:

Ok first of all, stop posing like that. You look so uncomfortable and stiff with your hand unnaturally resting on your thigh...in fact, I've noticed you do this pose a lot. Like, all the time. Seriously, what's the deal? I'm not sure who told you this was a winner, but they have clearly lead you astray.  The fabric looks like the drapes you might find at the Luxor in Vegas and the bottom, well, I just don't like it.Someone is going to have to explain to me how and why Heidi Klum and her one-hit wonder of a husband get invited to the Oscars every year.  I mean, do either of them have any connection to the cinematic industry? I would say the same thing about Miley Cyrus, but apparently she co-wrote an un-nominated song to a nominated animated movie (Bolt). Whatever, bottom line, this looked like a failed attempt at Fashion Origami and I wish someone at the Academy speaks up and edits the guest list next year.

And because he is just so dreamy....

I mean, come on. No words needed.
