Oscar Night in L.A.!

Last night's Oscars was one of the funniest I've seen in a few years. I really liked Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin's pair up. They equally matched up! I thought it was hilarious how they dissed everybody and yet didn't dare to say anything about George Clooney! HAHA! I love George!

K, let's get it out of the way..I am SO happy Monique won! I haven't seen the movie "Precious" YET but I've heard all about it and read the reviews and I must say I decided NOT to see it at the movies for fear of lots and lots of tears and anger. So I am waiting for it to come out on dvd and I will then buy it and have it at home for my own viewing. I am confident that my purchase will be worth my while. SO back to her win, I loved her speech here as well as the Golden Globes! I think that the whole thing with her discussing her "open marriage" is HER business and if it works for her and Sidney then "BRAVO" for them! To each is own. DO NOT JUDGE SOMEONE ELSE'S HOME! I also think we need to leave her alone on her preference of not shaving her legs. As she discussed in the Barbara Walters special, it's just her thing so who cares! Come on people there are seriously MORE important things in the world going on then to zoom in on Monique's open marriage and hairy legs (which are not that hairy by the way). Her man loves her so who are we to talk ish? She looked great, I think the dress color was a perfect tone for her skin and Sid looked nice too! Hey Miss Parker!


Now on to "America's other sweetheart" a.k.a. Sandra Bullock. K, first let me say that I love HER, did I say I love HER! I mean she is a guy's guy and a girl's girl. She is the perfect balance and I get why she says that her and Jesse are not that different. We don't know her other side nor do we see his but I am glad it works for them because I love this partnership! At first, I was kind of like "wha Sandra Bullock? How do you go from hot ass, porn goddess Janine to Sandy Bullock" but I GET IT! I still LOVE you Janine! Girl is gifted! HAHA. K, that's a WHOLE other blog!I really thought the makeup was subtle and loved her red lips and I liked her dress. I wasn't blown away with it but I thought she looked great! I really liked her acceptance speech because really our "moms" are our role models. I also would like to add that I LOVE the cut-aways to Jesse when she is talking because he seems honestly and truthfully proud of her and that he truly "has her back." Way to go Sandra! I can't wait to see "The Blind Side."



Meryl Streep, wow what can I say other than she is the BEST actress of MY time. Of course, there may be those who disagree but this is MY blog and therefore my Point of View and opinions so MERYL STREEP IS THE BEST ACTRESS OF MY TIME! I can't even begint to imagine where this woman grabs her inspiration for each character she plays. "The Devil Wears Prada" is a classic example of a role I would never have seen her in. Even the ladder movies of her like "Death Becomes Her" was great! I AGAIN haven't seen Julie/Julia (or vice versa) either. But if there was another nomination (her 16th) than I am going to watch this movie as well! I thought she was dressed as she is usually is, classic, simple yet sheik. I truly have an "awe" feeling when I see you Meryl and you are my favorite actress PERIOD!



Let's go on to MY girl JENNIFER LOPEZ! I first want to say I RARELY ever see Jen off her mark. What I mean is that she rarely ever (if at all) looks bad. She has a fly yet fashionable sense of style and this dress was no exception. I read on a comment that her dressed resembled "bubble wrap." I didn't see that at all. If anything I immediately thought of "cotton candy." I thought she worked it, looked amazing and FUCK what the haters said! That's right, FUCK THE HATERS! However, I wasn't happy with the hair...but I still give her a 9 out of 10 (the one point being the lack of hair pop)! Go J-LO!!!



Let's talk about all theother random people that showed up. Did anybody see Michelle Pfeiffer My lord that woman never ages! I love her!



My girl "LA" a.k.a. Queen Latifah brought out her Dana Owen swag last night. I loved her in the pnk dress. I thought she looked really classy and beautiful! Our cover girl. Wow, hasn't she come a long way fromt he days when she asked, "who you calling a bitch?" Love you Latifah!! U.N.I.T.Y.!


My boy Colin Farrell made an appearance...GOD does this man ever look bad? Just ONE part of my dream threesome (ok TMI but I'm just keeping it real). The other part, David Beckham...YUM! K, just wanted to shout him out! I need to watch me some S.W.A.T. (ooh the beach scene) damn, ok I'm gonna leave it at that! love you Colin!


Cameron Diaz..stunning, absolutely beautiful, really! Enough said! Why did you and Justin have to break up?? Damn, ok, let it go! Go Cameron D!


Ok now my WTF were they thinking thoughts came when I saw the following on the red carpet. Let's first start off with Nicole Ritchie, loved the dress, I did just NOT on her. I honestly felt like she showed up and said, "huh we're where?" because that's what you looked like on the red carpet. Sorry! But I love you bitch!

Next came when I saw Maggie Gyllenhaal. The dress, ok nice, I guess BUT so NOT for the Oscar's red carpet or ANY formal for that matter! But she is a little to the left anyway right? However, I DO love her and I can't forget her dark movie character in the freaky tale of "The Secretary" with James Spader! YUM! Love that movie! Plus, I DO love her more than her bro. So just get a new stylist or work it out, either I do love you Maggie!


I had to save the "HOT MESS" for last.....Mariah Carey! K, let me start by saying that I loved Mimi when she first came out, then when she ventured into her "Honey" days, which is one of my fav Mariah songs of all time. Then I held on while she "came out" a little more and started hanging with my boys Jigga and Diddy but let's keep it real..Mariah always dresses like she's attending the AVN awards which is the Oscars of the Porn World! I think she's already a MILF and let the 20 something wardrobe go! It's like she doesn't age and change her clothing while she does. She's also a little thicker these days (oh my bad that could be her boy toy/umbrella holder/tax write off) a.k.a. her husband! I just didn't vibe the whole blue dress with the "usual high slit" wow, surprise surprise. I'm sorry Mariah, how about really blow us away and wear something with NO SLITS, NO leg shots period, NO CLEAVAGE shots, we know, you're proud of your purchase but come on! Not even for the Oscars? Sorry Mimi, two thumbs down!


I did LOVE the John Hughes ribute. Let's face it, who didn't grow up during one of these classic 80's teenage angst movies! I love you John Hughes! I think it was awesome that Molly Ringwald (who was his 80's muse) came out to honor him. It was also great to see Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Jon Cryer, and Matthew Broderick! I also found it fitting that it ended with a classic line from my favorite John Hughes movie, "Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." ~~Ferris Bueller



It ended on a high note with a WOMAN winning Best Director and her movie, "The Hurt Locker" winning Best Movie! All in all a good night. I have to admit, I have a lot of movies to catch up on and I will begin my viewing with all the nominated Oscar movies...TI'd like to give thanks to the academy for a pleasant night....
