The Oscars 2011 Outfit Review

It's here, it happened! Sadly, I didn't get to watch the best ceremony ever, as I was far too tired to stay up till 5am in the morning. But catching up on the outfits, I can tell it was a star-studded, amazing night.
Here's my picks :)

The winners:I loved Reese Witherspoon's simple 60's get-up.Not the most classic dress, but I do think Scarlett Johansson looks hot!The matte dress makes a comeback, here worn by Jennifer Lawrence. It's easy to impress me. Really, just wear any sort of cream colour. Halle Berry knew what she was doing, obviously.

Mila Kunis looks so stunning and erethral in this dress.Hailee Steinfield made her first ever strut down the Red Carpet, but she looked like a princess doing it.
Not many people could handle such a short hemline for the Oscars (even if it was only the Vanity Fair after-party). Nonetheless, I think Taylor Swift looked divine.
This is the epitome of class. I love it, Kate Beckinsale!
Magpies had a field day with this amazing creation. For me, the best of Anne Hathaway's numerous costume changes.

THE BEST DRESS OF THE NIGHT:

Cate Blanchett proves that as far as originalty, grace and beauty is concerned, she still comes up trumps. YES, Cate!

The Losers:
Sharon Stone! That dress?! That make-up?! You disgrace me!
Melissa Leo may have walked away an Oscar in hand, but she won't be getting a nod from me for this downright awkward choice.
Since when has Jennifer Hudson been this skinny? I don't like it one bit. And the dress is a no-no also...
Marisa Tomei looks frumpy and drowned in fabric thanks to this uncouth garment.
I'm not sure who exactly Cody Horn is, but she's not gaining any recognition in my style books!
It's ok Cameron Diaz, a lot of people don't like to admit they're blatantly over the hill! Yes, that was mean, but so is this shiny, leopard print, paaaainfully short dress.

Who shone at the Oscars for you?

The Baftas 2011 Outfit Review

It was a star-studded red carpet, and some people looked hot AS! Here's my best, and worst picks of the ceremony that's one notch beneath my favourite movie event of the year!

The BEST:
This dress cute, and the colour completely suits Jessica Alba.Wow, Gemma Arterton looks hot. I love the simplicity of this dress.
I never thought redheads could work nudes this well. But Amy Adams, you proved me wrong.That's it! Cheryl can go home, Kimberley Walsh will always be the hottest Girl Aloud.
I really can't make my mind up about this dress, but considering Rosamund Pike looks marvellous wearing it, it gets into my prestigious 'Best' category.
Where's Rachel Stevens been hiding? This dress, however, makes the perfect comeback.
Oh, I just love Miranda Richardson. This is an age-perfect, classy dress. She looks like a queen!

The WORST:Sorry Sarah Harding, but this is nothing but tacky.Are they roses printed on that uber-pink monstrosity? No, Thandie Newton, just no.I like Emma Watson's style normally, but this don't float my boat.Oh no. This is the second time Julianne Moore's failed in my eyes, The velvet...I might just stomach. But the pasty face+gothic eyes+red lip scenario? I just can't forgive.
Too white, too shiny, too mutton, too lamb. That's Annette Benning told.

Romantic Movies Galore!

Yes, I know Valentine's was on Monday, but I'm taking the 'muso' high road, and taking the "only a Hallmark holiday anyway/ we should celebrate the people we love everyday/I'm single and grumpy" excuse.
But, I do love my Romantic movies. So without furhter ado: some of my most favourite romantic movies/moments ever.

The Notebook
"So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day."

"If you're a bird, I'm a bird."

Pocahontas"If you kill him, you'll have to kill me too."

"I'd rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years without knowing you."

New York, New York"Will you marry me? Will you marry me? I love you. Will you marry me? I don't want anybody else to be with you. I don't want anybody else. I want to be with you, do you understand? I don't want anybody else to be with you except me. I love you. I love you. Look at me. I love you."


Moonstruck"Loretta, I love you. Not like they told you love is, and I didn't know this either, but love don't make things nice - it ruins everything. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess. We aren't here to make things perfect. The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us! We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and *die*. The storybooks are *bullshit*. Now I want you to come upstairs with me and *get* in my bed!"

The Way We Were"When you love someone, from Roosevelt to me, you go deaf, dumb and blind."

"You think you're easy? Compared to what, the Hundred Years' War?"

Bridges of Madison County"I was acting like another woman, yet I was more myself than ever before."

"I don't want to need you, 'cause I can't have you."

Forrest Gump"I'm not a smart man... but I know what love is."

"You're my girl!"

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"Some things last."

" -You're so young.
-Only on the outside."

Manhattan"You're... You're God's answer to Job. You would have ended all argument between them. He'd have said "I do a lot of terrible things. But I can also make one of these." And Job would have said, "OK, you win."

Sparkly Bites: The Actors whose Names you probably don't know

You've most likely seen them in more movies than you've had hot dinners. You probably even quite like them. But for some reason, you will never remember their names. This is something that I've always found, and I've decided it's time to put an end to it once and for all.

Here are some examples:
#1You know...Juno's dad.
Beneath that thumbs-up lies a career-long grude of unrecognition.

This is J.K Simmons.

#2
"Him, on the left" doesn't count.Neither does "Titanic submarine guy with earring."

This is Bill Paxton.

These are all the ones I can think of. Which actors do you know, but simply not their names?

The Golden Globes 2011 Outfit Review

WARNING - THIS POST IS PICTURE HEAVY!

Yes! It's officially awards season again! Oh, how happy that makes me. I'm now itching in anticipation for the Oscars, but meanwhile, the Golden Globes will do well to quench my thirst.

I liked:

Oh my, is this Emma Stone? As in always ginger Emma Stone? - I adore this incredibely simple, matte dress. She looks stunning.Dianne Argon is every inch the Hollywood pin-up.Oh hello January Jones! Perhaps the only woman who looks this good with a red lip.I love this print and colour on Gabourey Sidibe. She, however, is divine.
Gotta hand it to Angelina Jolie, she looks fierce. This colour really sets off her eyes.Anne Hathaway fulfills my penchant for high neck, long sleeved dresses.Olivia Wilde looks 'dazzling' (wow, cringe!) in this gown.



I didn't rate:
What is this awkward polygon intruding on Kelly Osbourne's otherwise non-offensive dress?
I don't like Leighton Meester, I don't like her ageing, poufy dress. Fact.Piper Perabo teaches you the most valuable lesson in life. How to completely erradicate any feminine aspect of your body shape - wear a ruler!

Aaaargh! Julianne Moore is beautiful, but this deflated balloon residing on her chest ain't doing no favours.
Michelle Williams? Mothercare called! They want their frock back.
Speaking of Mothercare...hehe. Natalie Portman look amazing preggers, and the dress was that close to being one of my favourites of the night. But the red glittery rose looks dreadful, especially clashing with the necklace. Oh well, she was still one of the most beautiful women there.

Hope you enjoyed this.
What did you think of the Golden Globes wardrobe?
