Ok, here are some pictures from the red carpet that I couldn't get my grubby hands on last night...later I'll post more about parties, etc. The biggest ones being Vanity Fair and Elton John.
Shall we? (PS - I drank 2 glasses of wine while searching for pics, so excuse the mild drunkenness)
Ben I didn't watch the show, it bores me. But I did read many people's reviews of the show and everyone said that Ben Stiller has lost his touch and wasn't really funny. It's hard to be funny at the Oscars. Everyone is wearing Spanx and cranky because they need to check their hair or lipstick every 15 seconds...either way - Avatar sucked and wearing all that make-up for nothing must have sucked slightly less.
Cameron Diaz:Those who know this blog well know that I loathe Cam 'The Man' Diaz. I really, really do. But bitch rocked that red carpet last night. I was pretending to watch a movie with my husband while watching AP's live feed of the carpet in a tiny window on my laptop and I saw her posing and she looked FAB.
Not everyone can pull off that much ease on the red carpet. She was just on last night. I didn't even know it was her at first (meaning I was actually objective) and I thought, 'whoever that is is totally rocking it.' Then I was bitter.
While I'm not totally in love with the dress, her hair was gorge and she looks like she showered, which is really important to me on Oscar night.
Very, very well done Cam. I'm shocked.
Charlize Theron:Apparently everyone is all up in her face about the front of this dress. I saw only the back last night and loved it. I love the soft color, I love the 2-tone, I love it all. And, to be frank, I'm not offended by the front. I get the criticism, but come on, it's not like she taped hands to her boobs...they're rosettes.
It's not that big a deal, people. Please kindly remove sticks from asses.
Demi Moore:She looks a little over thinnified, but gorge nonetheless. She is pulling off the blush like no blonde ever could, it looks amazing. I don't know who it is, but the bottom is stunning. Probably Atelier Versace or Marchesa. They always do beautiful well...Anyhoo, she looks good, and I'm even happier that she didn't bring that young buck she's into.
I give her: Best Blush
Diane Kruger:I had several issues with her last night:
- Didn't show with Pacey (Joshua Jackson)
- Didn't wear anything nice
She has done so much better, and is capable of so much more. I even love what she wore at Vanity Fair more...
Elisabetta Canalis and some old man (George Clooney):Rumour has it that George Clooney was sipping from a flask all night...especially on the red carpet. I have to assume it is because he realized 'Up In The Air' should not have been nominated and also that flat-ironing his hair makes him look old. That is enough to drive anyone to drink.
Anyhoo - let's talk about this Italian woman he brought with him. I think this is the first girlfriend he's brought to the Oscars, but I'm drunk, so who knows?! Either way, it's quite an honour and she wastes it on crumply satin and underwear lines (VPL for those who like lingo).
For serious - if you're hot (which she is) and you have money (which she does) don't you get a pair of perfect, seamless undies that wouldn't show under an angel's whisper (don't know what that is, again - drunk)?
Not impressed. Also - please don't bring your dad to the Oscars. He looks bummed and his hair is silly.
Gabourey Sidibe:Due to all the coverage of the Oscars I now know how to spell this girl's name. Hurray!!! That makes me happy.
I am very glad she is a celebrity, because she seems like a genuine human being and not some Jennifer Lopez/Posh Spice alien who values only the approval of US Magazine. She showed genuine emotion and that is great. I hear she also called her dress 'the money shot' if fashion was porn. FAN-F$%^ing-TASTIC!
Helen Mirren & Captain von Trapp:On an interesting (remember - drunk) side note - I played Brigitta von Trapp in a high school version of 'The Sound of Music'. Wow. I just fell asleep. Apologies.
Speaking of falling asleep, though I hope I look this amazing when I'm her age, hasn't she worn this exact dress before?
Kate Winslet:While I will forever find Kate Winslet fabulous, because I am a human polygraph, I did slip up last night and say she looked anorexically skinny. I take it back. While she does look slim and lithe, I wouldn't call the eating disorder bug.
I really, really don't care for the dress, but her hair and make-up are stunning and I can't say enough about that necklace. It's blowing my mind with it's shininess. I love it.
Kathryn Bigelow:Major girl-power fist pumps to be had for the first female director win, but KB made an excellent point when she said that she wished the modifiers could be abolished. Why does it matter that she's a woman? Until last night, it did. Now, it's just a talented director winning.
I have been meaning to watch this movie...maybe Wednesday night.
Kristen Stewart:I don't know if she has a stylist...if she does, I love said stylist. This girl has been 99% on for the entire past year. And this dress is no exception. It is fabulous.
Yes, she's young and could have gone 'funner', but this dress is so stunningly rich and beautiful and so...elite. Wow. I love it. Seriously.
I give her: Best Not-Black
Zoe and Lenny Kravitz:Could this girl be more beautiful? I want to barf. Seriously. She is totally stunning. The dress is a little amateur, but she's young and she's allowed to make mistakes.
Lenny, looks sextastic as always. My friend Tania met him. He is petite.
He has a sense of humour though...check out this video (fast forward to 5:36). Love Jimmy Kimmel - he's underrated.
Maggie Gyllenhall:I thought this dress deserved a 2nd look. I change my mind. I still wish it was what it was from the breasts up. Then the bottom happened and it turned out it was a Hawaiian shirt as a dress.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Mariah Carey:Lainey said that she took one step every 5 minutes and hogged the carpet the way Mimi should. I mean, they should have known that when they invited her. What is she going to do? NOT hog the carpet? COME ON!
In other news, that dress sucks.
Michelle Pfeiffer:My god she is stunning. That color is beautiful (if not a little too fall-ish in that light) and her face is so well maintained. God I wish I was rich. I already look older than her!
Neil Patrick Harris:Why didn't anyone tell me NPH was going to be on? I LOVE him. I'm sure he was fabulous and that everyone wished he was hosting. Not that I don't love Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin, but damn NPH is maximum awesomeness.
Penelope Cruz:I detest the asymmetrical neckline of this dress. It looks like it's attempting to crawl up her neck and off her body. And isn't this the SAME DRESS SHE WEARS TO EVERYTHING? Seriously. I'm so tired of this fitted bodice, full skirt crap she wears to everything.
MIX IT UP.
You're pretty though.
Robert Downey Jr & Lady friend:I really like her dress, but I like him so much more. I would wear him. Look! he's wearing silly blue tinted glasses and sneakers to the Oscars. God, how does one not love him? I ask because I don't understand how anyone could not see how wonderful and brilliant he is.
Signourney Weaver:This seems like that same dark green dress she wore to something else. I'm lazy (wine!) so I won't link to it, but you know what I mean. Not that she isn't stunning and it isn't great on her, it's just boring. Classy though...she looks so good. Love her.
