Oscar Night Fun

March 8th, 2010 · 7 Comments · Celebrity, Jacquie's Posts

I watched the Oscars with friends last night. Our 13 or 14th annual Oscar party get together. We do the ballot filling out thing, the appetizers, party beverages and our own version of a swag bag. We all contribute towards a prize of a bunch of movie gift certificates, a prize I was sure I was going to bring home this year. I mean, I studied for this test for several days. I was prepared. So what if I didn’t see every movie nominated. I researched many of the top movie fan sites and I read all about who the film experts were predicting to win and why so I should have won, right? Those blasted sound mixing/editing/animated short foreign adapted screenplay categories screwed me again! I failed miserably!
So instead of gloating over my hard-earned win, instead I’m gonna give a little rundown on my Oscar 2010 most memorable moments in fashion…
Oh, look, it’s Demi Moore and Jennifer Lopez! Doesn’t Demi look great? According to my husband she was the best looking of the night. In fact, I think his exact words were “pretty good looking for almost 50″. Yeah. You heard right. Maybe not the best choice of words in a room full of  almost 50 yr old women… ya think?

This next design might not be everyone’s cup ‘o tea but I can see myself in it. Or is it just that I can see myself on the arm of Robert Downey Jr?  Hee hee.
Sorry Meryl, I can see where you were going with this but I’ve worn something similar with plastic slip ons at the Spa Utopia.
Everyone (my girlfriends) agreed unilaterally that Sandra Bullock had the best dress of the night.
I’ve looked a at a bunch of other dresses now that the show is over and I keep coming back to this one. It truly is stunning and Sandra’s long dark hair contrasts with the soft shimmery champagne and lace beautifully. It really is a special look. So is the next one.
I don’t know if I love it or hate it. On one hand it reminds me of the crocheted doll that sat on the toilet tank covering a tissue box that my Yugoslavian BFF’s mother had bought at a church bazaar when we were 9 yrs old. On the other hand I like how Zoe Saldana from Avatar appears relaxed and happy~ like she really loves it and she’s having such a blast at the Oscars ~ and she looks like she feels gorgeous and pretty and special.  She doesn’t look like she cares what any of us think and that makes her look even better. A smile is the best accessory, isn’t it? I’ll leave you with one last ‘what was she thinking!?’ outfit.

Oh Charlize!!!! It’s like you tried on Madonna’s cone bra and walked into a wall before hitting the red carpet! You’re such an attractive girl but all I see is your squished boobies! Oh well, there’s always next year…

    Great laugh to start off my morning. Thanks Jake!

    I agree with all your comments and I know the toilet tank doll you speak of and I can clearly see the resemblance. Too funny! Ha ha!

    I was very disappointed with Charlize this year too but after reading your description I’m enjoying her gown for the comedy of it! :)

      Oh Jacquie
      That was great! I love your “fashion Moments”. I laughed so hard at the “crocheted doll” comment. That’s because my Granny, had a purple one on her toilet, but it covered her “extra” toilet tissue roll! What a blast.

      Thanks for sharing, and I appreciate you wonderful sense of humor!

      Love ya
      Karen

    Thanks for the recap and laugh Jake, I tuned out because I got bored and was tired. Wish I had stay tuned now. Demi Moore did look fantastic, I agree with Gavin, but I might use a few other words…representing cougar lol, I also think Sandra Bullock looked amazing. Thanks for the laugh and look at the purdy dresses :)

  • Cheryl

    You’re spot on with the Charlize description. Thanks for the laugh. On second look, Demi has pulled slightly ahead of Sandra for me. That is the most amazing dress! And Gavin’s got a lot of back pedaling to do! :P

      Good thing we’re all secure women and know he meant no disrespect. And I do like the dress Demi wore more and more but I wonder if I’m just being influenced by all the talk of Sandra’s dress looking a bit too figure skating outfitty? I’m so impressionable! I know I’ve worn that light peach before and felt really dreadful in it. Maybe it isn’t the best choice for a blonde but Demi can rock it because of her dark locks?
      I love Oscar fashion talk!

    Kate Winslet won my vote as she was elegant like the old stars of yesteryear’s looked.
