Personal Choices: Oscar's Fashion 2018

Here are my quick pics for Best Dressed:

My absolute favorite was Jennifer Garner!

She looked fantastic!!  Beautiful color on her!

And here are my runner-ups!

Allison Janney in Reem Acra

Laura Dern in Calvin Klein

Viola Davis in Michael Kors

For my Worst Dressed...I just was not a fan of Whoopie Goldberg's Dress.  While I realize it is more "dressed up" than she normally is...I just didn't think it worked on her.  (or maybe it is because I am not a huge fan of giant flowers....(it kind of reminded me of a pair of drapes my grandmother used to have).

Emma Stone in Louis Vuitton

I personally feel that Emma Stone's outfit was suited for a much more casual event.  The Academy Awards have always been Hollywood Glam.  Maybe she wanted to just change it up a bit, but I just didn't think this particular outfit was appropriate for this event.

Overall, Jimmy Kimmel did a good job.  He is pretty solid at this!  I was not a fan of the number of times that politics were brought up ... not that it isn't an important issue.  I prefer to keep my political opinions private.

My Take on The Oscar's 2016...

 Of course you knew that I would be discussing my Best Dressed Picks today!! But, first, let me tell you...in my opinion, there was WAY too much time spent on the whole diversity thing.  It was not necessary to keep bringing up the issue.  If it was mentioned in the opening monologue and that was it, I would have been fine with it.  But, no.....they had to keep bringing it up every five minutes!

  

 Anyway, Cate Blanchett looked pretty in this aqua number!

 

 Alicia Vikander in "Dusty Yellow"

 

Brie Larson in my absolute FAVE color...Cobalt Blue!!

 

Charlize Theron always looks perfect in Dior.  I don't think I can ever remember her looking anything but perfect!

 

I thought Jennifer Garner looked great!

 

Not too many people could carry off this look, but YES, Kerry Washington / Olivia Pope CAN and DID!  It was HANDLED! 

 

Naomi Watts always looks so sweet!  Loved the colors of her dress.

 

What can I say...Sofia Vergara never misses a beat!  Perfection!

I thought Tina Fey looked better than usual!  She has had some not too great Red Carpet moments..this one was a WIN!

I was also surprised to learn that the interviewers were told not to ask the women "Who they were wearing".  WHAT????  I have been watching the Awards Shows for a very long time and I never knew that the actresses were upset that they were asked what designer made their dress.  I was really surprised that #askmemore was a trending hashtag on Twitter!

I just didn't get as much out of this year's show...and I am somewhat disappointed I guess.  I was happy that Leo DiCaprio finally won.  His acting in "Revenant" was AWESOME!  

I was NOT HAPPY that Sylvester Stallone did not win for Creed.  He DESERVED that award.  Not that Mark Rylance wasn't deserving...his role was very good in Steven Spielberg's Cold War thriller, "Bridge of Spies".

Lady Gaga's performance was very emotional and the audience was moved to tears.  It was a very powerful performance.

It was quite a surprise to everyone, I think, that the night's most prestigious award went to “Spotlight,” about the Boston Globe’s investigation into decades of sexual abuse within the Catholic Church. The film also won for best original screenplay.  

So...that is my take on tonight's awards!

The girls decided they'd rather nap in front of the fire...

Our Oscar Night: The Re-Cap!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Oscar Night!  The girls were served their special Academy Award Cheese Snacks on pink napkins...although LadyBug couldn't eat hers until I broke it into a zillion pieces.  They did like them though!  They are Himalayan Chews and one of the girls faves!

We dined on Trader Joe's Steak and Ale Pot Pies and Wild Berry Lemonade with salad.

A nice, warm fire in the fireplace was a MUST as it is zero degrees outside!

As a surprise, Ben made us a special Academy Award dessert with some sort of special cherry sauce and Vanilla Bean ice cream.  It was delicious!  

Only a few of my predictions came true...I was sad that Bradley Cooper did not win for Best Actor...and "American Sniper" didn't win Best Picture.  I was VERY happy for Julianne Moore as I have heard she did an awesome job in "Still Alice".  I have read the book, but have not yet seen the movie.  I hadn't seen many of the movies that were nominated and since we go weekly...that was a surprise!!  I will see if I can download some of them .... like "Birdman".  I am curious about that one!  I also want to see "Boyhood".

I like Neil Patrick Harris, but I wasn't all that thrilled about his hosting.  I think there have been others who have done a better job.  The "underwear" thing...was a bit much.  

My Best Dressed Picks:  (There were SO MANY!!)

Nicole Kidman

Jennifer Aniston

Scarlett Johanssen

Jennifer Lopez

Meryl Streep

Reese Witherspoon

It's HERE! The 2015 Academy Awards!!

Anyone who has been reading my blog for any length of time knows that I am a die-hard Oscar's fan!!  I make a day of it!  I LOVE watching the pre-show on E Entertainment TV.  I am totally tuned in to the fashion, the hair, the shoes, the nails...you name it!!

My pick for Best Picture this year is American Sniper!  I totally believe that Bradley Cooper deserves Best Actor for his performance in this movie.  He BECAME Chris Kyle.  What a performance!!

Best Actress is a tough one.  I am thinking perhaps Julianne Moore for "Still Alice" or Rosamund Pike for "Gone Girl".

We will have a nice fire in the fireplace as we have dangerous wind chills going on outside and I would like to be nice and cozy while watching my favorite show!  The girls will be right there with me...with the down blankets and a few Academy Awards Snacks!

Dinner will be Trader Joe's Steak and Ale Pies and Sparkling French Berry Lemonade with a Fresh Green Salad and Poppyseed Dressing.

Do you have any favorites?
