I didn't like Charlize Theron's dress (a rare miss for her), but I haven't seen anything yet that really knocked me out. I'd say so far Helen Mirren is rocking her dress the best.
I thought Sigourney Weaver chose a good color.
Miley is way too skinny! Her waist was too small and her posture was awful.
Yeah I didn't like SJP's dress, though I called it a lampshade instead of shower curtain at the time.
I thought J Lo's dress looked like a shrimp cracker from an asian restaurant (you know those styrofoam- things?)
I liked Anna Kendrick's light pink dress and how she is embracing her paleness.
Zoe Saldana- I was afraid she was going to show us a little too much when she hiked up that front slit to get down the stairs.
Those stairs looked difficult- they were curved and uneven and moved as people were walking down them. I am surprised we didn't see wipeouts!
Charlize Theron- worst dress ever. I have never seen something so unflattering. It made her look cheap and like she had a pooch belly and the satin was wrinkled and straining over her hips- so bad.
Also, I don't know if it was the lighting or the styles, but a lot of people's hair looked messed up, like SJP, Miley, and J Lo- they all wore updos that were supposed to be a little loose and messy but they had gross flyaways and fried pieces sticking up everywhere. Did anyone else notice that?
We lived-blogged the Oscars for the local paper, and we got set up during the red carpet, which meant a lot of babble and sniping in the room (but, sadly, not on the live-blog feed). The one thing we all agreed on: Gabourey Sidibe rocked that dress.
