WHITE IS THE NEW BLACK

Ok-So I think I performed pretty well. Five out of Seven isn't too bad. I admit Best Director could have gone either way and the Artist's director was the winner, not Scorsese for Hugo.
But, Meryl Streep for best actress? Come on-that threw everyone a curve-even Meryl. So that was a legitimate mistake because I really did believe Viola Davis was going to win.
Now for the fashion:

BEST DRESSED:

GWYNETH PALTROW: in white Tom Ford cap sleeve dress and cape. Smashing. Beautiful diamond
                                          cuff.

HONORABLE MENTIONS FOR BEST DRESSED:

CAMERON DIAZ: Strapless Gucci white dress (too much nips though) and HOT body. face looks
                                weirdly filled.
VIOLA DAVIS     : emerald Vera Wang looked stunning with her coloring.The earrings  by Lorraine Schwartz were two different earrings combined to create a gorgeous dangling drop effect.


ALL AROUND "JUST LOOKED GOOD":

JESSICA CHASTAIN: loved the Mcqueen gown. Few could pull that print off. And the $2 million
                                      Harry Winston yellow diamonds didn't hurt her look either. Loved her hair
                                      as well.
LESLIE MANN:            Jud Apatow's wife was wearing a fabulous fitting navy Roberto Cavelli dress
                                       Her sleek pulled back pony tail emphasized her gorgeous skin and earrings.
OCTAVIA SPENCER:  another who looked awesome in white. The Tadashi Soshi dress flattered her
                                       figure and was the right choice.  Great Speech, too!

WORST DRESSED:

JENNIFER LOPEZ:      she looked like jenny from the block. very cheezy. bad choice. Lorraine
                                      Schwartz earrings were beautiful though.

SHALLENE WOODLEY:   I thought she was a mormon sister wife in Valentino Couture. The dress,
                                             was not age appropriate. She makes poor choices at all award shows.

STACY KEIBLER:        Clooney's gal pal didn't do it for me. Many loved this gold Marchesa gown.
                                       I wasn't feeling it....she looks like arm candy.

ROONEY MARA:       another woman in white. This Givency Couture didn't work for me. And I don't
                                     care for the bangs. Dress too revealing for skinny girl.


BEST DRESSED MALE:

SEAN COMBS:            looked like he just stepped out of GQ.
TOM CRUISE AND BRAD PITT:  were both pretty easy on the eyes too.


BEST SPEECH

Meryl Streep:            she looked the best she has looked in the past 3 award shows. Loved that she
                                  acknowledged her husband first. AND, I loved she was equally 
                                  thrilled her makeup guy of 30 years won an oscar for The Iron Lady.
                                  She is a class act.................
