Oscar: the Grouch

[ladyvyola]

How the hell did the Oscar telecast manage to feel rushed and yet drag on endlessly?

Gil Cates, roast in hell for the worst-produced and worst-directed show I've ever seen.

Just fascinating to see the class divide in show business rear its ugly head. I mean, we all knew who the little people were, but to see them actually get stepped on during the show? Awesome, dude! Makes every little kid or teenager or twenty-something just dream of the day they'll get their drive-by award.

I didn't watch it - I just did the outfits post-mortem the morning after.

Apparently it's the 1930s again, because oyster-coloured slinky satin is back in fashion (although none of the fashionistas apparently know what oyster-coloured satin is).

My personal Oscar clothes winner was Jamie Foxx's daughter who looked absolutely adorable, accessorised perfectly (those gloves *made* that outfit) and provoked a squeal of "oh, God, a child dressed appropriately!" from me.

Second was Cate Blanchett - the only woman I have ever seen who can get away with wearing pale yellow (the most unforgiving colour I know of).

Well, I spent a great deal of the pre-show and telecast saying, "I still like my dress better!" as I just last week finally found a gown for the movie premiere. And I like '30s Hollywood, as you will be able to tell when we post pictures of the grand affair. (But not oyster-colored slinky satin -- not my color and slinky is a little too clingy for my figure.)

"I still like my dress better!"

But we'll really have to wait and get the reaction from the, um, "guests." ;-)
