2010 Academy Awards Red Carpet Review
This is my BEST and WORST of the Academy Awards - let me know if you agree or disagree! More Insanity to come.
Cameron Diaz...

She looks beautiful. I've always been a big fan of women wearing their hair down for these big events and Cameron has really pretty hair. Her dress reminds me of something a fairy princess would wear. I like it. If I had to make one change, it would be the color of the dress. I think with her blonde hair and her milky skin, the pale color of the dress washes her out a tad bit. But, other than that, she looks fabulous.
Charlize Theron...

I love this dress! She is one of my picks for Best Dressed. I think the color is great and I love the train. It's very Red Carpet Worthy!
Demi Moore...

Demi looks really nice, but she looks like one of the girls on Dancing with the Stars. Her dress reminds me of something you would wear to go salsa dancing, not to the Academy Awards. Also, the color of the dress matches the color of her skin. She would have looked awesome in a red or coral dress. But whatever. Sister is working it so thats all that matters.
Diane Kruger...

I am definitely not a fan of this dress. I applaud Diane for taking a risk, but I just don't think it really panned out. Maybe I'm just jealous that she gets to walk the red carpet with Joshua Jackson (Pacey). Yumm. I'm a big fan of his.
Elizabeth Banks...

I should probably know who Elizabeth Banks is, but I gotta be honest. I don't. Anyway, I love her dress. I think the color is stunning and I love the fitted top and the ruffly bottom. It's a hit with me.
Helen Mirren...

I gotta say. Helen Mirren is one classy lady and she ALWAYS looks fabulous. She picks age appropriate attire, but she never looks dowdy. She looks Awesome! I love this dress on her. The color is very flattering as well as the cut.
Jennifer Lopez...

Another one of my picks for Best Dressed - the always stunning JLO. I love her hair and her makeup and the dress is just beautiful. I saw her on the T.V. and this picture doesn't even do her justice. But, trust me, her dress is pretty amazing. I will say that the poof on the side might be a tad big. I like the poof, but it's just a little bigger than it needed to be. Either way though, it was classy and elegant and very Red Carpet Worthy.
Kate Winslet...

My mom and I disagreed a bit on this one. Kate looks nice, but the dress is just so plain to me. My mom says it's classy. I think it's a snoozer. Yawn. Her hair and makeup look nice though.
Miley Cyrus...

I'm not a big fan of Miley Cyrus and she gets on my ever last nerve. However, I think she looks pretty good in this picture. The more I look at the dress, the more I'm liking it on her. When I first saw it on T.V. I thought it was very unflattering, and then, she annoyed the hell out of me because she compared herself to Marilyn Monroe - yeah right. Keep dreaming Miley. But at any rate, I kind of like the fitted top and the princess type bottom. It's different and she took a risk and I always applaud that.
Penelope Cruz...

Penelope gets my third and possibly my favorite Best Dressed pick. I LOVE this color on her. It's pretty amazing. She looks like she belongs on the red carpet in this dress. It's absolutely stunning. Her hair and makeup are perfect too.
Queen Latifah...

I like the color. I don't like how wrinkled the dress looks. If I didn't know better, I would think she possibly grabbed this dress off the prom rack at Macy's.
Sara Jessica Parker...

As always, she hits it out of the ball park. Love her or hate her. You have to admit, Sara Jessica Parker knows how to dress, knows what looks good on her and NEVER looks like anyone else. I love the pale yellow color and the dress is just so different and elegant. I even like her hair too.
Vera Farmiga...

Oh good lord. I don't know who this chick is and I don't want to. She needs to fire her stylist. Everything from her makeup (did she go to clown school), to her hair (too severe) and that horrible fuschia colored dress is just WRONG! She's a big fat DON'T!
Zoe Saldana...

She's a pretty girl, but, she's another one that looks like she belongs on a dance floor instead of on the red carpet.

I hated Sarah Jessica Parker's dress, but it does cause a reaction.
I thought Queen Latifah looked stunning. I loved that dress and I thought it looked amazing on her.

I agree with all except Charlize Theron...the big rosettes on her boobs seemed odd. She is always a favorite of mine, but I think this is the first time I haven't just loved her dress. All this to say, she still looks very pretty. But she always looks pretty!
BTW, glad you're back! And I appreciate what you share with your readers. :)

Diane Kruger looks like something from a Dr. Seuss book.
Miley has a nice dress but she needs posture lessons and what the hell is with that goofy grin. Moron.
Demi Moore while I agree with the dress not being great LOOKS FANTASTIC! WOW! She rocks it out for an old lady. heh.
Queen Latifah I think her dress makes her look fatter than she is.
Sara Jessica Parker I dunno. I do not like the dress. It reminds me of a nightgown or something. The thing across her neck is lame too.
Vera Farmiga hahaha ya.. she could be the jokers girlfriend with that makeup.
Zoe Saldana her dress looks like a cross between a poodle and the blueberry kid in Willy Wonkah.

I love JLo.
I also love Penelope Cruz.
I don't get all the love for SJP. Obviously I'm wrong, because everyone else loves her, but ugh. She annoys me to no end.
Also, you left off Gabourey Sidibe. I saw video of her from last night where she said "If fashion was porn, this dress would be the money shot."
That is the best line in the history of the red carpet.

Vera Parmiga was George Clooneys on the road love interest in the movie Up In The Air and was excellent but I hated her dress too and I am a guy. She looked hot in the movie though.

I agree with Jay. Penelope Cruz and JLo are sooooo sexy they exude it and it doesn't really matter what they are wearing. I loved SJP's dress and she has a great body, but she just doesn't have the "sexy". It's somethine you either have or you don't.

I love your recap.

I agree with you on most except Sarah Jessica Parker. She looks like a column in a Greek portico.
Why didn't you post Kathryn Bigelow? I didn't watch the show but from the news photos I thought she looked great!

Most of these ladies look like they're starved and near death. I desperately want to put a shawl on Miley. Cover up, kiddo!
Cameron looks amazing. Queen L needs a mobile steamer. Gorgeous dress with unfortunate wrinkles.

P.S. Will somebody tell Miley Cyrus to fucking stand up straight???
March 14, 2010
Yes, Vera looks like a "Glamour Don't." And Helen Mirren always looks gorgeous!
You're so good at this, Carmen--you should be there on the red carpet yourself!
