OSCAR!! OSCAR!! OSCAR!! ( UPDATED ) ( AND THEN UPDATED AGAIN! )

It is late, and we will get to the nitty gritty tomorrow, let's just hit some real quick hightlights:

Clairvoyant Kyle!

Who was it that this morning put on his blog that some actress or actresses SHOULD wear dresses from either of these two collections tonight?!?
" no place for the weak or timid "

 Cate Blanchett one of the beautiful gowns from Givenchy Spring 2011 Couture Collection. Lots of folks already have and will go off on this one..... one word to them: ARMATURES! Seriously, this is the definition of haute couture right now.

Miss Anne and and her , I am sure, sore scalp are our Monday morning heroes... stoner dude with her may have sucked, but Miss Hathaway gave her all. Much

more tomorrow about all of her looks. Seen here in a modified piece from what was my favorite collection of Spring 2011, Armani Privé Haute Couture. After her stunning ( my favorite ) Golden GLobe dress AND tonights NINE different looks ( very different ) She is letting Hollywood know that there is a brand new Heather in town......

After the happy two quick pre-taking out the trash and bedtime bitches:

1. What is possibly up with the few of my homo facebook pals proudly bragging that they are way and oh so too butch to watch the Oscars ? Really queen ? It's like the guys who bitch about drag queens at gay pride and all.... Learn your history boys and if you can't at least respect it, just keep silent.
2. The Pride of Dunwoody Ryan Seacrest as the ONLY E! corresponded on the red carpet.... HORRIBLE, really, and this is not just common Seacrest bitching. I think he does a swell job at the 300 things that he does do, this should just NOT be one of them. Knows nothing of fashion.... and goes the extra step to prove his straightness by letting us know how little he knows of fashion. A couple of ladies were not even asked about their dresses.....epic fail.

MUCH MUCH MUCH more tomorrow.... I will just add to this post... so check back then, and if you want, let me know some of your favorites...

OK, in the clear light of morning, lets break this down, three parts , 

GO :

THE WINNERS

( you know, the " reason" we are here )

Best Picture - The King's Speech.

Best Leading Actor - Colin Firth, The King's Speech.

Best Leading Actress - Natalie Portman, Black Swan.

Best Director- Tom Hooper, The King's Speech.

Best Supporting Actor - Christian Bale, The Fighter.

Best Supporting Actress - Melissa Leo, The Fighter.

Best Foreign Language Film - In A Better World.

Best Animated Film - Toy Story 3.

Best Song - Randy Newman, Toy Story 3.

Adapted Screenplay- Aaron Sorkin, The Social Network.

These were all fine, no real surprises after all the lead up awards. Melissa Leto was really good ( scary! ) in The Fighter, but I was a section leader of Team Helena Bonham Carter and just at the end, I had pangs of guilt and really wanted Annette Bening to win, just for sort of time put in and all. I would have been happy with Kings Speech or The Social Network as best picture. Full List of Winner ( and losers ) HERE.

THE SHOW

I don't really understand what people want from the Oscars, why is it this show brings out all the claws and knives? Yes, the whole " going for the youth crowd" was probably a mistake.. well, going for the youth crowd AND bringing out a post stroke Kirk Douglas, ( who I thought was fantastic! ) just didn't gel. Anne Hathaway did a lovely job.. singing, dancing, funny, I thought very much in her element. James Franco was pretty much the popular ( stoner ) quarter back goofing his way through the Senior Play, taking all the wanna be cool kids with him. People had online WORST OSCARS EVER within the first half hour.. which it was not. There seem to be ODDLY a lack of big star power.. but that could just be the lack of Brangelina.. who knows. There were draggy parts for sure, the very inconsistent homage to old movies.. The President on screen for a micro second... but overall, I enjoyed it. But, I ALWAYS do, so I am not really one to ask. I did like the overall high -techy stage, it's Hollywood, bring us the magic!

THE FASHION

( the real reason we are here )

Right into the deep end, no water wings, 

THE BEST AND WORST OF THE NIGHT.

A little explanation. This is not a fair fight.... Our Winner, with out a doubt is ANNE HATHAWAY.. WHO pulled of EIGHT FANTASTIC LOOKS, but that is the unfair part, she had eight chances to win, but at the same time, she had eight chances to blow it.. and in the end did not. Like I said before, after the GG's and last night, she is now the go to fashinista in Hollywood, not ever a good thing, because all anyone wants to do is knock you off the throne. Enjoy it while you can .

click to " make big "...
None of these looks were " shrinking violets or safe"... and the team that did her hair eight times... amazing!

and the worst, again, with out a doubt: Melissa " F-Bomb" Leo in Marc Bouwer. I can't really think of a time when lace cut outs over gold foil would ever be a good idea..

Just bad on every level there is.

and, the controversy

a look v. FASHION.

THE argument of our time!

RC newbie, Jennifer Lawrence in Calvin Klein, and RC Royalty, Nicole Kidman in Dior. #1, you would be hard pressed to find two different houses, As American as apple pie AND as French as ... well Dior! The thing is, there is no FASHION in Ms. Lawrence's dress. The overall look is about her very impressive body and her VERY well functioning under garments, all  hail spanx! NOT that here is anything , at all, wrong with this... but what are we going for here, a look or fashion?  All the powers that be will be praising the Baywatch look from the rooftops and saying that Nicole dropped the floaty thing... but what are they commenting on?  The overall value of CK v Dior or the entire package ? I do not think that Jennifer is appropriate for her first Oscar red carpet... bring it honey, show us something, NOT just that you have not had a bite to eat in the last four days, and may or may not pass out, any second now. All that said, you are seeing Jennifer Lawrence in this look and you are seeing Nicole's dress ( which I think is fantastic, and LOVED the way it moved when she walked out to present).... like I said, it is one for the ages.....

THE GOOD

1. Cate Blanchett in Givenchy - fashion forward, beautiful
2. Halle Berry in Marchesa - walking perfection, MOVIE STAR
3. Hilary Swank in Gucci -totally on trend, beautiful, loved the jewlery in the hair
4. Mandy Moore in Monique Lhuillier - stunning on tv, but here is the lack of wattage thing, we are talking about Mandy Moore....beautiful dress 
5. Amy Adams in L'Wren Scott - loved the color, the styling and I loved the accessories.. many do not agree
6. Helen Mirren in Vivienne Westwood - TLo said it best this morning : "We're used to lauding her red carpet choices, but this may actually be our favorite thing she's ever worn. It gets a little askew at points, especially around her midsection, but the pewter color is simply amazing with her hair. Love the jewelry. An all-around great look and once again Queen Helen of Fuckinfantastica shows those younger bitches how it's done".
7. Reese Witherspoon in Giorgio Armani - working the Barbarella/these boots were made for walking look... love it, everything about it

THE NOT REALLY SO BAD

Maybe I  just don't like purple

1. Scarlett Johansson in Dolce&Gabbana - the only horrible one in the bunch, by far the worst hair of the night. Fit is good, weird see throughness and shape... not good.
2. Natalie Portman in Rodarte - not at all bad, really. This one is her own fault, she raised expectations, and sort of fell short. LOVE the length, and she gets cut some slack for being so very with child
3. Mila Kunis in Elie Saab - Many are putting this in their tops, bothers me. A little too Stevie Nicks meets Jessica McClintock on the way to the Winder-Barrow prom in 1979, with LOTS of money. Not horrible, just strange.. and the boob tattoo looking lace was just odd.

THE MOST IMPROVED

 Sandra Bullock ( right ) in Vera Wang -  In the red last night knocking it out of the park, just one tiny inch below out top few, on the left at the  2011 Golden GLobes.... Our Miss Sandy learned the hard way NOT to use the straight stylist, but came around in a hurry!

Gwenyth Paltrow in Calvin Klein on the red carpet and Gwenyth Paltrow in Michael Kors to preform and go to the parties, on the left with odd mini me, Taylor Swift ( as close as Gwenyth was going to get to an Oscar this night..) . The CK is HORRIBLE, and so many are putting it on their top.. totally screwed with her figure , just did not get it. The hair and make up are horrible in both, but a very good save from a bad dress with only an hour or so so work.
