*sigh*

I didn't do very well picking out this year's Oscar winners. :( I only got six right for Art Direction, Directing, Documentary Feature, Film Editing, Sound Editing, and Adapted Screenplay. For the longest time, I didn't think I would get any at all. It was well into the show before I finally got one right (Documentary Feature).

Oh, well, at least I managed to beat Mom. She only got three right. :P

Anyway, the Oscars were good. I thought Jon Stewart did a great job hosting. Man, those fake ads were hilarious!

The fashion was a bit disappointing, though, especially since everybody was saying that the trend would be to dress in old Hollywood glamour to complement the theme of the show, which I didn't really see much of. What was Naomi Watts thinking when she decided on that dress? *gags* I predict it'll be showing up on the Worst Dressed lists for sure. And I don't get why everybody was raving about Michelle Williams' gown. I guess the style was okay, although I could have done without the large ruffles, but that color was ugly. (Granted, I'm not a fan of orange or orange-y yellow, so I'm admittedly biased.) As for best dressed, my favorite was definitely Sandra Bullock's dress, with Keira Knightley and Ziyi Zhang coming in at second and third, respectively. I also rather liked Meryl Streep's gown. It would have been better in a different color -- she wore brown -- but the style was nice. (Edit: Oops, it was purple, which is infinitely better than brown.)

Well, it wasn't a bright purple, it was a dark purple. So, ya know.

Bullock's was pretty nice. And I would have liked Theron's dress if it weren't for, you know, the GIANT BOW OF UGLY DOOM sitting on her shoulder. What was up with that?

I know! Every time the camera went to her, I wanted to rip that thing off. It would have been a very nice dress minus that...thing.

No kidding. The first time I saw her, I was like, "PLEASE tell me that's my imagination or SOMETHING."

Nope. Just an ugly dress.
