Oscar Sunday Funday
While watching the Miss America pageant no longer makes us want to be among the company of 18 year olds (of appropriately evenly distributed ethnic backgrounds) with spray tans and bikinis, the Academy Awards will and always will make us want to be a movie star! We wanted to love our girl Anne Hathaway (classiest young star by far), but we have to say, her hosting with James Franco was kind of awkward. First of all, James seemed to have the charm of an 8th grade boy at Sunday lunch with his grandparents, and Anne was just a little too giddy. Eek. We still love her though, and she looked gorgeous (and really, who cares if you don’t do a great job if you look gorgeous).
Favorite dresses of the evening were Sandra (so classic and tasteful) and Cate Blanchett (love the structure and the little risk!). Also loved Gwyneth. Our worst was Scarlett (when will these people learn that the Oscars is not a place for patterned flower fabrics?!). What did you love / hate?

I’ve got to admit, I’m not a huge Anne Hathaway fan. Does that make me un-American? I thought Gwyneth Paltrow looked way too thin.
Mila’s was one of my faves!

The Bert show said Sandra got a nose job. Can you confirm or deny, elaney?

Anne was such a nightmare. It kept getting worse and worse! LOVED Mila and all of the ones you named. Not a fan of Scarlett’s dress. I really loved how much they talked about their mothers.

MELBY- the girl from winters bone is a product of my hometown of Louisville, KY! Jennifer Lawrence- isn’t she darling?

Sandy’s nose did look a little Michael Jackson-esque.

Jumping in late but why does Helena Bonham Carter always look like such a disaster?

re: Helena.
She wants to be seen as a “real” actress. AKA she wants to get press.

re: Sandra Bullock nose job.

Oh gosh I did not like Cate’s dress…it looked like a suit of armor, and I kind of liked Scarlet’s – I love that she has curves and I loved her short hair. Mila’s was definitely my fav and my mom’s fav – appealed to all generations. I think James Frano was high and Anne Hataway was on speed, but at least she seemed excited. That’s all.
