Oscar Party

Because I disliked most of the looks from the Oscars this year, I will list only a select few outfits I condone. But I shall also delve into the after party attire, which provides some laughs. Thanks, Style.com, for documenting parties of the rich and famous oh so well.

BEAUTY (for both):

CLASSY

ELEGANT/APPROPRIATE/TIMELESS

LIKE EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE SHOES

PRETTY/GORGEOUS COLOR/BAD SHOES

TOO SOOOOOOOOOOOON
wtf shawn white you suck

And there you have it. The Oscars 2010. The year of the Tom Ford suit (and RDJ's Lanvin one, obviously).

Oscar Favorites

 

 Zoe! Look how happy she looks to be wearing this confection. The colors, the sparkles, the textures... GORGEOUS! This was probably my favorite dress.

  

There's so much dress! I like that the dress extends way beyond her own body. (Armani Prive)

 

 Simple and elegant but a little bit unexpected. The velvet is both contemporaneous and old school Hollywood. Well played.

Just a dreamy dress by Armani Prive -- floaty while still structured.

Predictable/expected, but she looks fabulous and well-styled, if a bit mature.

Diane Kruger does this style so well. She pulls it off.

 Long sleeved. Jersey. Still looking good.

 Washed out print.

A column of color! Good to see some COLOR! Plus I love Dries Van Noten, he is the master of prints.

This dress complements her body. She looks happy, comfortable, glamorous.

The color is meh but Victoria Beckham always works it. Her own design.

SJP, sparkle, pale gold, winner.

Oscars Old News

The number of Best Pic noms will be 10, not 5, this year, in an effort to include a more diverse selection of films.

WTF.

It's sad that films like "Wall-E" didn't make the cut last year, but if they're going to increase the number of slots at most they should add 2. Or cap it at 10, and not necessarily have that many. This is definitely a move linked with the bad economy: more nominated movies=more likely people will go see them? Makes no difference to me. It's just going to exacerbate the rivalry between film buffs and mainstreamers. Imagine: Transformers 2 vs. token Holocaust movie. I think not.

PS I'm so pumped for "Up!"
