Cate Blanchett!! A LEGEND. She has everything right and the dress is absolutely amazing
Penelope: Loving that she has left the black. She looks perfect in this. Two goals for canary yellow!
Hilary Swank: Miserable, self obsessed and insincere as she came across (trailer park blah blah, dreams blah blah) I can't believe so many people disliked this dress for being too concealing. I think it is horrible that our eyes have become so adjusted to acres of flesh. I think the dress was gorgeous and stylish (what an amazing back she has!) and reminded me of Angelina's famous black one except in purple. Where was Angie? Nothing is ever anything without the first lady of our planet (gush gush)
That Catalina girl looked like she was wearing a cheap prom dress
Charlize: Normally looks very piggy to me but the dark hair and the dress (which yes is meringue but ... good meringe) made her look very very cool
Maggie: Poor show -always expect better from her.
Why wont they learn not to wear black to the Oscars? Shame on Drew, Scarlett, Zhang, Kirsten and I am sure countless others.
Kate Winslet. Fine good colour on her but why does she always look dumpy whereas the others like Salma Hayek and Halle Berry and every Catherine ZJ (where was she -no show?) look curvy. Other than the Americanised Catherine, we Brits are just to lardy to compare with the Americans. But then again I could never stand Winslet.
Gwyneth: Why does she always look so wet blankety. She has the most divine modelly figure but they can never seem to fit her properly -especially on the bust. She was glowing though and I thought it was cool that her hair was so loose and that she kept pushing it back.
Natalie Portman: She just looked short. Wasn't the best dress especially as the colour just looked like dirt. Liked the headpiece though.
Gisele and Leonardo: I present to you the poster children of German-Italian heritage. I think we should start a breeding programme. Please post applications to: The Race for Aesthetic Superiority. Only purebloods may apply. She didn't look amazing but it has been a few years since she has been able to take my breath away. The Victoria Secret makeover has to go but still you can see that she is gorgeous and he is so sweet. It is kind of wierd though how reserved and wary he has become after all those crazy years. Such a contrast to his cute, geeky, bubly persona in early interviews.
The French: Julie Delpy and Vanessa Paradis. Boring colours but only the French can look this good in clothes. Vanessa's outfit wouldn't have worked if Johnny hadn't been dressed like he was. They looked very Cabaret. It was great.
I think all in all a bad clothes year. There were no clangers but there were a lot of dresses that were either blah or moderately bad. What on Earth were Halle, Vodianova, Elle Macpherson, Kirsten.. wearing? Also Micha Barton -there was a piece on her in last week's ES magazine (a London magazine) which concluded something like, "Micha is the designers dream -a girl with the face and the body for their clothes... but absolutely no taste of her own". Couldn't agree more (except for the face part) And years ago when I saw Lawn Dogs she seemed to be so precocious and talented and now she is just too... LA.
IMO the Oscars suck. I can't believe I spent years up all night watching this self-aggrandizing crap. Ignoring Scorcese and Dicaprio and awarding the ****hole that is Eastwood? Please. Bring on the MTV Movie awards. At least people look like they are having fun at those
Hillary Swank, Gwyneth
, Beyonce during her Phantom performance (the dress, the hair, the jewelry, it's all way way too much)
