Starting with my favorites, Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman. They looked amazing. And they were pregnant (which made them look more good). Cate wore a deep purple gown by Dries Van Noten.I wanted to put a single picture of Nicole Kidman, but there was a pic that I couldn't resist.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban wore BALENCIAGA.Clutch by Bottega Veneta, 1,399-carat diamond necklace by L’Wren Scott.
(sigh, what a pose)
Julie Christie and Helen Mirren, the two hot grandmas. (Oh I love those dames).
They just looked fabulous.
Julie Christie wore a red Tanya Gill designed dress.
And Helen Mirren in George Chakra. Swarovski crystal sleeves, H. Stern and Fred Leighton jewels, Jimmy Choo “Idol” shoes (exaggerated platform dyed red).
Here's another scoop from the red HOT carpet!
Well, thats as far as I go in-fashion-detail. Here are the precious others at the Oscars.
Harrison Ford and Callista Flockheart.
George Clooney and girlfriend.
Johnny Depp and Vanessa.
And then, the Oscars began. And it was nice to see this man again.
John Stewart. This was his second time, hosting the show.
Ever so creative and bold.
He made sure that everybody gave their winning speech in full.
Never thought he'd point out the OBAMA vs OSAMA thing, I have always wondered and thought it would be cool if Obama won the presidential elections. Well, it was strange that... whatever!
And then... all of it happened and without any expectation, THE ROCK showed up. At the oscars to present an award. I mean, WOW. The Rock. One of my Idols and on top of the list. This sure is an achievement.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
{For those of you who were worried that you'll never see The Rock in the Wrestling scene will not have to worry. This year THE GREAT ONE will be at WRESTLEMANIA 08 to induct his Dad and Granpa into the WRESTLING HALL OF FAME}
Like DUDE WHERE'S MY CAR. And then...
There were great performances of songs, mostly from the wonderful disney movie Enchanted. Amy Adams was at her best on stage.
Here is what you really need to know.
Rattatouille was nominated for more than just one award, which all of us should be proud of.Golden compass deserved the Visual Effects, no doubt.
Bourne Supremacy did not deserve all the SOUND awards. I was angry that they didn't give either one SOUND award to TRANSFORMERS. 'Cause the sound-editing and sound-recording was perfect and is not that easy to create for a movie like Transformers.
Other than that, George Clooney and Jack Nicholson were THANKED again, by everyone. All four actors deserved the awards. I thought Cate would win again, 2 strong performances. Anyways, Tilda is not a bad actor. So it's okay, it's alright. Javier did a great job, and you dont even have to see NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN to judge that, all you have to see is just the trailer and you'd know it. And I was happy to see NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN win the best picture. It sure deserves to.
It was great to see the Coen Brothers go home with awards for both best direction and best picture of the year. This was their second time to have won the oscar(s).And finally, I have to say, the set design was of the roof as always, but too good this year. The music was great (thanks to Bill Conti). Great Montages were shown this year. And I missed one man.
We miss you HEATH.R.I.P.
Be sure to catch his final performance in full role in THE DARK KNIGHT, summer 08. And an upcoming Terry Gilliam movie, which Heath Ledger completed half and rumor has it that the other half will be played by 'a mysterious actor'
(HA! the girls wouldn't know now.)
Well, he was too young to have passed away.
This isn't the best-ever-blog-post, but this sure is one of my fav posts. Gathering info on the fashion and jewels and all. Have a great month everybody. And Happy Birthday to all of you who have yer birthday this month.
