Oscar Awards Red Carpet
Here's my Academy Awards writeup - as always, feel free to agree and disagree with anything I say.
Heidi Klum...

At first I wasn't totally blown away with this dress, but after looking through about 500 pictures this morning and half of them were yawn - boring - I came back to Heidi and her dress really popped out. I love the color. I love the high slit. I love the cut on the shoulders. They call this an architectural dress and only a woman with a great body like supermodel Heidi Klum can pull this off. I think she looks pretty amazing.
Jessica Biel...

I'm not a fan of this dress. I don't like the weird sash coming from the top. I also think the color is boring. I do like her hair and makeup though. The dress would probably be fine if the sash would just go away.
Sara Jessica Parker...

I love this dress. I think she looks like a fairy princess. I love dresses like this with the full skirt and the slim top. Beautiful. I'm glad she wore her hair down too.
Marillon Cotillard...

This is another dress that kind of reminds me of a princess and again I love it. The full skirt is beautiful, the black color is a staple and the shiny blue really makes it pop. This is one of my favorites of the night.
Miley Cyrus...

I'm not a fan of Miley, I think she's a spoiled brat, but I do like this dress. She's really coming into her own in the fashion world. I love the back, I love the layers and her hair and makeup look fabulous too. I was pretty impressed with her.
Natalie Portman...

I like that she took a chance with color because there wasn't a ton of color on this red carpet last night. I'm not a huge fan of the bubble gum pink/pepto bismo color though. I think a lighter pink would have been better. But, anyway, the cut is beautiful on her, she looks very slim and the braided top is unique - adds a little punch.
Frieda Pinto...

This is a beautiful dress. I love the color - it's such a unique color and it's so flattering on her. However, I'm not a fan of the one arm look. I don't like that one of the arms is completely covered with lace and one of them is totally uncovered. It's unbalanced to me. I'm also not a fan of the lacy top.
Marissa Tomei...

There is way too much going on in this dress. I don't like it. I think Marissa looks great, I'm just not a fan of this busy dress.
Angelina Jolie...

Can you really go wrong with basic black? She looks elegant and classy. I love the pop of color we get by her ears. She looked fantastic.
Kate Winslet...

I'm so torn. On the one hand, I think she looks very regal and elegant. On the other hand, I think the color is a little boring and I'm not a huge fan of the one shoulder look.
Beyonce...

I'm so unhappy with this look. I hate the crazy gold flowers. The shape looks fantastic on her body, she really knows how to play up her curves, but I'm so NOT a fan of the wretched flowers.
Amanda Seyfried...

I love the color, but I think there is a little too much going on in this dress. We could probably do without the big bow in the front and the shoes are a little much as well.
Anne Hathaway...

I love this dress. The sparkly the better in my opinion and she knocked it out of the ballpark with this one.
Phoebe Cates...

>
Remember Miss Phoebe Cates from Fast Times at Ridgemont High?? Well, she looks great, but I'm not a fan of her dress. I think it's too old and boring for her. She has a great body, she should have totally played up her curves.
Vanessa Hudgins and Zac Efron...

These two are just adorable on and off the red carpet. They make such a cute couple and they both look fantastic.
I'm not even sure who this girl is, but I love this dress.
Her name is Taraji Henson...

I love this dress! It's so complimentary to her figure, the color looks great on her, there is some sparkle, but not too much and I just think it's beautiful. It's one of my favorite dresses of the night. I love her necklace too.
Taraji gets my pick for BEST DRESSED and Beyonce gets my pick for WORST DRESSED!
Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer didn't walk the red carpet, but they attended the ceremony and she looked AMAZING. I loved her hair, I loved the dress and they looked really happy together.

She dresses very conservatively and she doesn't wear much color, she's usually always wearing black, so it's nice to see her in white with lots of sparkles. She's a natural beauty and she always looks great.

Okay, tell me that you don't look at Jessica Biel's dress and thing about the curtains in a funeral home?

In the dictionary next to the word "cute" should be a pic of Marisa Tomei.
Freid Pinto is pretty hot.
Natalie Portman is a goddess.

Oh, Carmen, I'm with you on most of this, but Sarah Jessica Parker totally looked like Glinda, the Good Witch. I agree, Angelina was perfection and little Natalie Portman looked like a goddess. Jen--always fantastic, though I predict she and John will be kaput soon.
While I watched the awards last night, I made my own predictions of what you would say. I love your post-show commentaries!

P.S. @ Dark: Brilliant assessment!

E! had a super close-up of Heidi Klum's legs...FANTASIC! I could climb them all day and never reach the top they were so long!
Hathaway looked delicious and made me drool just a bit. Which is normal...!
I thought Tina Fey was the biggest surprise. I've never found her to be sexy until last night! Smokin' hot!

I wasn't a fan of any of the dresses with slits. Blah!
I loved Freido Pinto. But I have to disagree with Jay - Natalie Portman doesn't do it for me.

I really did not like SJP dress or Beyonces or Jessica Beils.Other than that they were all pretty good. Oh what pressure they must be under. I couldnt stand having to look as perfect as you can.

My favorite was Frieda Pinto. I also thought Natalie Portman looked great.
