When I heard that Ellen Degeneres would be hosting the Oscars this year, I was overjoyed. She is only my favorite TV host ever, and I admire her for her life decisions, confidence, her sense of humour and cool manner in which she conducts herself. Coming out at the time that she did could not have been easy, and I respect her immensely for it. Yeah, I think I have a bit of a crush on her haha! Also, I loved how she took the now famous Oscar selfie that crashed Twitter!
Me being the lazy ass fatty that I am, turned off my alarm when it rand at 5:30am this morning. That was when the Oscars were being telecast live here in India. However I did manage to turn on the TV at around 7 just in time to catch Jared Leto receive the Oscar for best supporting actor, and I could not have been more proud or happy for him, and I have to admit, I did shed a tear or two at his speech and those of a few others (I’m a crier I guess).
Now on to the important stuff, who wore what. Since I tuned in somewhere in middle I’m guessing, I missed the pre-Oscar E! red carpet interview, but I did manage to get a peek at what most of the actresses were wearing, and I shall provide below a lit of all those that I loved, and those that I did NOT.
First comes my favorite girl in the world, good old JLaw:
I love this girl to bits, it’s like she’s arrived from planet Cool and is the most normal person doing the most amazing job in the world, while being totally relatable. I loved how Ellen automatically assumed Jennifer wanted some pizza when she brought the three massive boxes to the starving guests. She definitely did not disappoint in the wardrobe department and I loved the red dress by Christian Dior. She really stood out in comparison to all the other women who worse more subtle colors. Yet I have to add, I feel like she’s overdoing it with the red obsession since she debuted at the Oscars in a red Calvin Klein dress. I personally feel she should try other colours because she’s gorgeous and can probably pull off any colour she wears.
The next is the gorgeous Lupita Nyong’o in Prada. She looked so pretty and delicate and the colour really suited her skin tone. Congratulations to her on the Best Supporting Actress win!
Camila Alves really took my breath away. The dress isn’t the most flattering but the colour looked stunning on her complexion. She looked gorgeous in the dress and having husband Matthew McConaughey (and Oscar winner for Best Actor for Dalla Buyers Club) on her arm really did not hurt either!
Sandra Bullock’s dress really surprised me. The style and colour are so so SO beautiful that I feel she was the best dressed, the dress was of course by Alexander McQueen.
Jennifer Garner played it safe with her Oscar de la Renta dress, but it did look fabulous on her!
Now on to the ones I didn’t really like:
Anna Kendrick:
I have a lot of respect for the girl, but I really didn’t like her dress. I mean, she looked like a present ready to be unwrapped with those straps on her shoulders, the strange pattern on her midriff and the sudden show of leg. Sweetie, you’re no Angelina.
Lady Gaga:
Now this one was a shock. She really took my breath away, and not in a good sense. She looked like the Oscar statue’s silver wife! With those designs all over the place and that white dupatta like thing trailing behind her.
I have a bad feeling I’ve been watching too much Fashion Police, and I’ve channeled my inner Joan Rivers with the latter half of this post (sorry to anyone who was offended but these are my opinions and I didn’t mean to hurt anyone’s feelings).
On the whole I think the world’s most prestigious film award show went well, and I shall watch the whole version tonight because I had to run to class halfway through this morning.
