Oscar Fashions

So I watched the Oscars last night and I could go on about how excited I was that Marion Cotillard won for La Vie en Rose, or the shock of Tilda Swinton winning for Best Supporting Actress but what we really care about is what did people wear. Speaking of which, what the hell was that schmatte that Tilda Swinton had on? Seriously, I haven't seen anything that hideous since Kim Basinger showed up in the one armed white satin outfit with the gold-braiding. The least talented contestant on Project Runway could design something better. I get that she's all avant-garde and edgy but that was just butt ugly. Bjork's swan outfit was more attractive. I would post a picture but I couldn't post something that atrocious, not without another cup of coffee.

Now this is more like it. I'm not a huge fan of Renee Zwellweger but the woman knows how to dress.

Anne Hathaway looking lovely in red Marchesa. Marchesa gowns seem to be turning up frequently on the red carpet. One of the designers is Harvery Weinstein's new wife. Not that people weren't wearing their gowns before then. They are absolutely stunning.

I love Cameron Diaz's dress but could the woman do something with her hair? How hard can it be do have it done instead of a messy casual pony-tail?

Cate Blanchett who wears the most stunning maternity gowns ever on the red carpet. Although I hope she flew by private plane since she's like 7 months pregnant. When do the airlines suggest that you stop flying when you're preggers? 8 months?

Heidi Klum aka Mrs. Seal looking totally glamorous in a red dress, not designed by Michael Kors.

Penelope Cruz, looking stunning a dress designed for her by Karl Lagerfeld. I noticed that she didn't show up with Javier Bardem, so they must be keeping the relationship under wraps.

And finally Best Actress Marion Cotillard. I loved this dress personally. I thought the whole mermaid thing was gorgeous and not overdone.

So what did you think of the Oscars? And which were the best and the worst dresses of the night?
