Snow and Oscars

heavenly_pearlIt snowed! Just a little, but I'll take it. Actually, the first thing I did this morning was look out my bedroom window (which looks out onto the front yard) to see if it snowed as predicted and was kinda bummed because I didn't see a whole lot. There was just a light dusting on the ground right in front of the window. However, when I went to the livingroom and kitchen, you could see a lot more in the side and backyards. And since it's not supposed to get over twenty-seven degrees today, it'll probably stick around until tomorrow at least. Oh, and we might get more later this week! Squee!
Yeah, I really love the snow.
I also really loved the Oscars last night. Didn't do too great on my predictions (10 out of 24 right), but I did sweep all the acting awards, best director, and best picture, which I don't think I've ever done before. The musical performances were fantastic. I especially loved John Legend's and Common's performance of "Glory" from Selma and Lady Gaga's tribute to The Sound of Music.
On the fashion front, I was actually way more into what the guys were wearing this year instead of the women, which is...kinda strange. But it seemed like most of the women wore white (or silver, champagne, etc.) or black while some of the men actually broke away from the usual boring black tuxedo to embrace color. Eddie Redmayne's navy (yummy)! Neil Patrick Harris's various colors throughout the night (the marroon was my fave)! Jared Leto's powder blue (which, with his long hair, made him look like he was going to prom in the 70s, but, hey, at least it stood out)! David Oyelowo's amazing red (which he somehow pulled off really well)! Matthew McConaughey's gray (or silver or whatever that color was)! For the ladies, I think Reese Witherspoon probably wins my best dressed nod; I'm always drawn to black-and-white colorblock dresses. I also really liked Margot Robbie's black gown with the sheer sleeves and interesting necklace, Rita Ora's dark blue dress with gold brocade, Kerry Washington's peplum gown, Anna Kendricks' peach dress, Kelly Osbourne's black hi-low lace gown (LOVE the dress...the purple hair and colorful clutch, not so much), Rosamund Pike's red dress with the slit, Zoe Saldana's pale pink gown (how does she look that good after giving birth to twins just a few months ago?), Rosanna Arquette's black-and-white column dress (but hated her hair style), and Octavia Spencer's light blue gown with the fun train Not too many fashion disasters this year. Even Lady Gaga's dress wasn't that bad minus those weird red gloves (and she looked stunning in another white dress for the Sound of Music number). When I first saw Gwyneth Paltrow's one-shouldered pink gown with the huge rose detail, I wasn't a fan, but looking back at pictures this morning, I actually rather like it. It's interesting, the color was beautiful on her, and her earrings are stunning! If I had to pick a worst dressed, though, I'd probably go with Marion Cotillard. The dress looked okay from the front, but I just saw a pic of it from the back, and it's really strange-looking.
