The Oscars (aka - Brangelina ass kissing)

I have to say that this year's Academy Awards blew the past several years away. Yes, Hugh Jackman went overboard with the "Broadway" style of the show. However, isn't that better than the year after year routine of awkward jokes for 3 hours? Not to mention, Hugh Jackman has been the hottest host in my lifetime.

The set was also pretty amazing and the style of the montages, clips, nomination graphics, etc. was very refreshing. I think whoever planned that show should get an Emmy. Oprah doesn't need another one - just use hers.

THE TRIUMPHS
1. Heath Ledger winning best supporting actor (we all knew it was going to happen, but I still got chills). However, I was disappointed that his daughter wasn't there. I know that she's really young, but it's a once in a lifetime experience that she could have been a part of.
2. Sean Penn winning best actor - I couldn't have been happier. His performance was amazing and Milk was one of the best movies I've seen. I was getting really sick of Mickey Rourke winning all of the prior awards this season.
3. Slumdog Millionaire - again, we all knew it was going to happen. I felt so happy for the cast and crew of this "little movie that could". It was so well done and definitely had a unique story.

THE DISAPPOINTMENTS
1. ENOUGH WITH BRANGELINA ALREADY! We get it. They rule the world.
2. Penelope Cruz winning best supporting actress. I mean - come on! In comparison to Amy Adams or ANY of the nominees, she was just horrible. She did not deserve to win. I don't know who she's sleeping with on the Academy, but it's obviously benefiting her.

FASHION REVIEW
What the hell are you wearing and why were YOU invited to the Academy Awards??


Absolutely lovely - please direct me to your stylist so that I can sign up

You may totally disagree with me, but I had to put my review out there. I am very sad that Awards season has come to a close.

  1. Oh boo, did I miss the awards? Looks like I did. I never remember to turn on the TV, when it isn't PBS kids and Nick Jr. *sigh* kids will rot your brain, I'm telling ya.

    But thanks for the review! I love seeing all the dresses!
