Good morning – are you suffering from an acute case of Oscar hangover???! I was up late watching the entire show, so I figure today is going to be one HELL of a looooong day – I imagine productivity around the country will be somewhat lower than usual today (it is a Monday, though), as we all try to get past the lack of sleep brought on by one humdinger of a LOOOOOONG Oscar telecast. Let’s start with the fashion, shall we? 
There were a lot of winners last night (and a few real stinkers – yes, I’m talking to you Brandi Glanville – seriously…what the F happened to the top of your dress??! I don’t even dare post a picture on here as it is bordering on indecent, and we are Pretty Thing, not Porno Thing!!!) – here are a few highlights:
Naomi Watts in the MOST stunning dress by Armani Privé – look at that fit…good lord but she is GORGEOUS! Jennifer Aniston in a Valentino – it’s okay, I feel like this look is nothing new for her. I wish she’d done something special with her hair, though. Amanda Seyfried in McQueen – beauuuutiful frock, non??!
Jessica Chastain in Armani Privé – her entire look was beautiful, the sparkles on her gown were divine, and her hair/makeup….GORGEOUS! Kerry Washington wore Miu Miu – I loooved the color (there wasn’t nearly enough vibrant color on the carpet last night, in my opinion), and she was as flawless as ever; finally…Jennifer Lawrence wore this pale pink Dior that I love with all my heart!! I LOOOOOVE this dress – if I had it, I would wear it every single day…so beautiful!
Amy Adams in Oscar de la Renta – I loved the dress, but I wish it had been in a different color…that dove grey just wasn’t doing it for me. I also thought she was in desperate need of better makeup – I rarely notice the makeup on the ladies at these shows, but I sure noticed it last night. She needed some color and bad – but man alive, look at that dress!! Can you imagine how fun it would be swanning around in that all day? Yeah, me neither…
There are simply no words for how exquisite Charlize Theron is to begin with, but put her in this white Dior and, well, the heavens opened and the angels sang, friends. She is STUNNING – who else but her could carry off that haircut, too? Her bond structure!!! I die!!!! I really love her attitude, too – she’s real, bracingly honest, and I bet she’s the best girlfriend to hang with, too. She looks like she can hold her liquor and probably knows some really filthy jokes. My kind of girl, in other words.
Anne Hathaway’s pale pink Prada was very lovely, and very simple. The tailoring around the boobs was kinda weird and I found myself obsessing about her nipples a bit, but apart from that – gorgeous. Her Tiffany jewels were magnificent, and pretty much my favorites of the night. Of course…once a Tiffany girl, always a Tiffany girl.
Yes, I did already show you Jennifer Lawrence’s Dior, but won’t you join me in holding hands and praising its splendor one more time???! Ahhh……love it!
Reese’s Louis Vuitton is a perfect color for her, and I nominate her for best hair of the year (if such a prize exists)…man, she looks awesome!
This blue Roberto Cavalli on Jennifer Hudson (who took us all to church with her sanging last night – wowza!!) is such a glorious pop of color that I had to include it. Pretty, eh?
Zoe Saldana in this Alexis Mabille gown was outstanding – it is what I imagine a fairy ice princess would wear every day…I LOVE it! Especially the top – soooo beautiful!
Helen Hunt – in H&M!!!! – looks simply beautiful….her gown is a perfect color on her (and it is color! hurray!), and very age appropriate (because there’s nothing worse than mutton dressed as lamb, folks)…she always looks so classy and elegant. I heart her.
With George Clooney on your arm, I figure you could show up in a Glad bag and still be the belle of the ball, but Stacy Kiebler’s Naeem Khan gown was so beautiful – only a tall, statuesque woman could carry this one off…on a shorter woman it may have looked dumpy. She’s so beautiful – and that friggin’ arm candy of hers…delish.
I want to wake up tomorrow and look like Adele (having her talent would be nice, too)…I think that she is one of the most beautiful women in the world. Those cheekbones??! I die!! That hair??! Good Christ…I just can’t even. She is GORGEOUS!! The dress, by designer Jenny Packham, is perfect for her – and would you please look at her eye makeup??!? A-MAZING!!! Please let me wake up tomorrow and look like that…even for one day. Please?
Jennifer Garner’s Gucci gown was one of my favorites – the color was really beautiful, and it looked like she was walking on colorful clouds of awesomeness when you saw the back – PERFECT!
I have no idea who Bradley Cooper is wearing – it’s a tux, he looked great as usual…no big whoop. I included him simply because I think that he and I should mate and make awesome, blue-eyed babies.
I enjoyed the music theme to last night’s show – the performances were good (go on with yo’bad self, Shirley Bassey!), and despite the shit-storm of controversy and criticism he received, I thought Seth MacFarlane did alright. He’s the dude behind ‘Family Guy’…were people expecting eloquence??! Don’t ask a funny guy who is known for pushing the limits to host if you aren’t prepared for those limits to be trompled on…it’s just stupid. I thought some of his bits were hilarious (‘Let the quest to make Tommy Lee Jones laugh begin!’), and some, of course, fell flat, but…I was pretty impressed with some parts of his hosting. I had no idea the man was such a song-and-dance guy, and I love that, so yaa! When he was hoofing it with Daniel Radcliffe and the divine Joseph Gordon Levitt, well, I got a wee bit giggly, I did. I don’t know that all of the criticism was fair – he did it, it was what it was, enough already. Let’s move on, shall we??!
I was thrilled for Jennifer Lawrence’s win (she’s too cute, that one – and her lack of filter is awesome), and Anne Hathaway’s win was certainly well-deserved. Three cheers for my beloved Quentin Tarantino (I have always believed, in my heart of hearts, that he and I are secret cerebral soul mates – there is something about his twisted mind that speaks directly to my twisted mind…I think we are cut from the same scary cloth, and I love it) for winning Best Screenplay, and I was thrilled that “Argo” took Best Picture. There were no real surprises or upsets last night, but there usually aren’t these days – with the plethora of awards shows, we pretty much have a good idea who is going to win anyway, but…it’s fun nonetheless to watch!
What did you think of the Oscars? I would LOVE to hear from you!

For whatever reason, Madonna’s fashion choices of late have been annoying me - however, she did a lot to fix that last night. This Stella McCartney is very flattering on her, and is age-appropriate, as well (meaning she’s not trying to look 18 again, as she’s been guilty of lately) – the color is beautiful. 
Demi Moore is wearing Prabal Gurung, with a Phillip Treacy fascinator on her head (channeling the Royal Wedding, no doubt) -I find that this outfit makes her look somewhat severe, although it certainly is eye-catching and attention-grabbing. What do you think?
