I love the Academy Awards. Well, no. I love fancy dresses and George Clooney, and the Oscars are always chock full of both. Speaking of- George? You are now officially too old for an ironic haircut (please tell me you think that look is funny, PLEASE). Alert Brad Pitt as well.
I’m going over some red carpet photos right now and here are my first impressions (though not discussed at length with Kristen or Mark and are therefore subject to change). I’m following E!’s slideshows right now.
Matt Damon: Comb your hair, you’re at the Academy Awards.
Penelope Cruz: Always breathtakingly gorgeous. This woman was destined for red carpet couture.
Keanu Reeves: His look might work if he wasn’t at the Academy Awards. What is it with guys who make a living being good looking not looking good at major events celebrating said living? Though to be fair, Keanu is a terribly handsome, terribly bad actor.
Maggie Gyllenhaal: Just stepped off a Carnival Cruise.
Helen Mirren: I would kill for her rack at 24, never mind 64.
Robert Downey Jr: Again, people. The Academy Awards. Not to be trifled with, although cute bowtie.
Demi Moore: Dress was very lovely, though the same color as her skin. Her expressionless, vacant, very taut skin.
George Clooney: Sigh. Nice jacket, bad side part. Also, was his date outfitted by David’s Bridal?
Taylor “Team Jacob” Lautner: Finally, the first fella to take this Oscars arrival business seriously. I’m going to go out on a limb and state he looks better than George Clooney. And we all know how much I love me some gray hair.
Charlize Theron: Might be pretty in another color. Those rosettes on the bosom were a little unexpected but still kind of cute, and the fitted skirt is bangin’.
Cameron Diaz: Prom dress, gross hair, kind of a suburban-Mississippi Hyatt Hotel beauty pageant contestant thing going on. Nice arms though.
Sandra Bullock: Amazing. Classic. Super shiny hair. Loved every second of her look. One of my favorite Oscars dresses of all time.
Meryl Streep: Age appropriate, sexy, glamorous.
Quentin Tarantino: You did the best you could with what you have.
Diane Kruger: Weird dress, but it works. Kind of like Quentin.
Ryan Reynolds: Homecoming King of the Oscars. Also looked better than George Clooney.
Kate Winslet: I love you, girl, but your dress kind of looks like a pantsuit.
Kristen Stewart: Beautiful. Did not see that coming.
Jennifer Lopez: I laughed out loud. Looks like a Barbie evening gown from 1989.
Sarah Jessica Parker: Nearly perfect, except the neck thing. Makeup was a little intense too, but overall pretty cute.
Rachel McAdams: Really pretty lines on her gown, but again with the cruise ship themed-fabric! Also, she looks different every time I see her. Also, I hated The Notebook and I’m confessing that here.
Tina Fey: Sassy! Hair was a little weird, but girlfriend has style, y’all. I love her.
Nicole Ritche: Adorable, non-Gollum look for her. I totally like her (based on her Twitter page and red carpet photos).
Joel Madden: Not someone I would normally comment on, because I think he looks so thuggish, even when he’s not trying to. But wow! Dude cleans up nice!
Miley Cyrus: Shoulders back, girlfriend, we can see your collarbone without the slouching. You looked cuter last year.
Vera Farmiga: I kind of loved that frilly pink thing.
Elizabeth Banks: Also wouldn’t typically comment because she strikes me as vaguely trashy, but I liked her look. Very Hollywood. Also I love her character on 30 Rock.
Zac Efron: Why are you there? Nice tux, bad hair. Get a comb, amigo.
Amanda Seyfried: Lovely, especially the neckline and hemline, although the dress looks a little bubble wrap-y.
Anna Kendrick: J’adore.
Mariah Carey: Almost managed to not be trampy. Almost.
Mariska Hargitay: Why does she get invited? Because she always looks so good. Might have liked her dress in something other than black, but still so pretty.
Kind of a boring year, only a few OMG looks. I remember last year being a little more exciting in terms of fashion, but there’s still tomorrow, when the worst dressed lists come out. What were your favorites?
Haha I agree, not overly impressed with any of the looks this time around. However, I did enjoy watching Taylor Lautner mosie on down the carpet – cutie patutie!! Hope all is well chica!
We need to talk. We have a lot of differences of opinion here that we need to talk through, and I can’t wait. I will tell you though that I completely agree with you on Taylor Lautner and Anna Kendrick (exquisite).
It seems easiest to just bullet point this.
-LOVED the sandra bullock look. It’d make a cute wedding dress? But did she really deserve an Oscar, Academy? Really? The Meryl joke is getting old.
-I chortled at your take on Quentin, bless his heart. (PS, didn’t know he and Diane Kruger were together? Weird).
-Your Kate Winslet comment is sort of like those magic 3D posters. After reading that, now all I can see when I look at it is PANTSUIT.
-I reeeally like the Rachel McAdams dress. Probably not surprising.
-I have such a tween crush on Zac Efron and I’m not even afraid to say it. I might have even enjoyed watching 17 Again, so what?
Love your take on the looks. Last night I kept thinking back to our expensive red “tablecloth” Oscar party at Longwood. Wasn’t the same without you, girlfriend.
ALSO – (eep, it feels wrong to say this, but…) did Clooney look old all of a sudden? What was with the grandpa hair? Get a trim dude.
Todo dinŠ±mica y muy positiva!
