WHO WON AN OSCAR?
The Academy Awards happened last night and there were some minor surprises, but mostly it was a night of Hugo and The Artists, two of the most overrated films of the last....ever. Honestly, I get the charm in both films, but Best Picture for The Artist? No. At least Hugo only won for technical awards. That I can get on board with. The only small surprise of the night came when 17 time nominee Meryl Streep actually won an Oscar she was nominated for! I love Meryl and she was FANTASTIC in The Iron Lady, but I assumed Viola Davis was going to win for The Help. Meryl never gets to win. While I think Viola Davis is just as good an actress as Meryl Streep, I still felt there was no clear LEAD actress in The Help. The story may have been anchored by Viola's character, but I thought all the roles were supporting. That's just my opinion, y'all. I am glad Meryl finally won again. It's been 30 year, people. Give that woman some props! Oh, and I wanted George Clooney to win Best Actor. I also thought Billy Crystal was pretty damn good. It was like watching the old-school Oscars when it was okay to be a little hoakey and cheesy. Good times. Oh, well. Okay. Here is a list of the big winners last night and you can go HERE for the complete list.Best Animated Feature - Rango
Best Supporting Actress - Octovia Spencer, The Help
Best Supporting Actor - Christopher Plummer, Beginners
Best Director - Michele Hazanavicius, The Artist

JUST BECAUSE: TILDA SWINTON
I'm sorry, but of two things I am sure. 1) Tilda Swinton was ROBBED of an Oscar nomination this year. She was absolutely brilliant in We Need to Talk About Kevin. GENIUS!! And 2) she is the Alien Fashion Queen of the Universe! I love everything that Tilda wears to these stuffy-ass awards shows and I don't care what anyone else thinks. She is weird and dresses accordingly. I think she looks fantastic; pale, frail, slightly mussed. I wouldn't change a thing. Below I have compiled a few shots of Tilda that I think are stunning from different awards shows and appearances. The girls got style. Just click the arrows at the bottom of the slideshow to have a look. I know people disagree, but she's one person who I always look forward to seeing on the red carpet, which makes it DOUBLY sad she was ignored by the Academy this year. I'm sure the Oscar she already has will get her through the night. Actually, I'm positive she couldn't care less about awards. She's too cool for school. Look at the fashion alien below. LOVE!Tuesday, January 24, 2012

GABOUREY SIDEBE OF PRECIOUS COMES ON TO GERARD BUTLER
I think she could do better, personally. The soops cute and bubbly Gabourey Sidebe was in heaven at the Oscars. She was so excited to see everyone and was as comfortable as someone who had done it her whole life. While being interviewed on the red carpet, Gabby caught a glimpse of Gerard Butler, whom she had previously admitted having a crush on, and told her interviewer Billy Bush, "He's kinda sexy. I'd hit that." Hilarious!!! THEN when he came over to talk to her, Bush asked her to repeat herself, SO SHE DID!! Gerard came back with, "I'm here, I'm available. Let's go!" to which Sidebe responded "Let's grab a bottle of champagne and see where the night goes." WONDERFUL!!! A girl's gotta take a chance when the gettin' is good. I really love this girl. She has already booked a pilot for Showtime. I hope she has a long, wonderful career. She was remarkable in Precious. Here's a video of the exchange on the red carpet. [source]Monday, March 8, 2010
MO'NIQUE'S OSCAR SPEECH: SPOT ON
THE 82ND ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS
The Oscars were given out last night and I would have to say there were not a lot of big surprises. Not everything went the way I wanted it to, but it wasn't shocking since I tend to vote with my heart, not my brain (I would have given my left one to see Meryl Streep win an Oscar this year). The red carpet was full of glamour with standouts like Meryl Streep, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried and Jennifer Lopez. The men brought it too!! Looking hot were Tom Ford (duh), Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Lautner and Zac Efron (yum). By the way, Sarah Jessica Parker looked great and I don't care what anyone says!!!! She can do NO WRONG!!! Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin were absolutely freakin' hilarious as the hosts (with a little help from awards show stealer Neil Patrick Harris), but even these vets couldn't keep the show from running past midnight. So, the awards!!!!! Of course the big story here is the fact that, after 81 years of Oscars, the first woman to ever win a Best Director award is Kathryn Bigelow. Congrats to her!! They even pulled Barbra Streisand out of hiding with her new neck to present the Oscar to her. Here are some of the highlights:Sunday, March 7, 2010
