2011 Oscars

Wellll....even I was bored! I honestly had high hopes for Anne Hathaway and James Franco. But - Anne seemed so cheesy and did he even show up? If I had made the call on hiring him - I would be pretty mad and strongly consider asking for my money back. :) There were some fun moments and I was thrilled that King's Speech did well but otherwise it felt looooooong.

And yes - I DID miss E!'s coverage of the red carpet. Man oh man I missed it. I watched the ABC red carpet show and the only great thing about was that they got some cool behind-the-scenes access because they were the network airing the actual show.

But let's talk dresses. Overall - still wasn't my favorite year. BUT - here are my favorites and a few thoughts:

Top Pick goes to Mila Kunis! I must really love the purple dress thing. Oddly - I thought it actually looked a lot better on my tv than it did in the pics. In the pictures - the difference between her skine tone and dress color isn't as strong. I loved the way the dress fit her and the color on her was beautiful.



Next up is Jennifer Hudson. 'Work it girl' is the most appropriate thing to say I think! She looked so glamorous and who would have guessed she was a normal girl just like us a few years ago???



Halle Berry looked unbelievably great. If I could have any other skin tone - I'd choose her's. Ohhhh that caramel skin and the way the dress sparkles against it!



Also loved Gwyneth this year! I could have used a bit more color make-up wise, but I loved the masculine edge to this dress.



NOW - oddly, I did not care for Amy Adam's dress at all on tv! I mean, it did nothing for me. But then I saw the pictures of it and felt like it deserved mention (on this widely widely read blog by all ten of us lol!). In the pictures - you can see how well the dress fits her. But still, I thought that the necklace on top of the heavy sparkle was too much.



And finally....in the weird but cool category I loved Cate Blanchett this year! Sometimes her choices are just toooooo cool for me lol. But wow - I thought that this was just a darn cool dress and I loved the pop of yellow at the very top. I kept saying - 'that's just cool!' I am obviously so well versed in fashion that 'cool' does the trick for me. :)




Well, this will likely be my last post on fashion until about this time next year. Until then, I'll be enjoying this experience called pregnancy and the new-found freedom to eat sweets with just a tad more liberty than before!
