The hair. The dress. The look.  It’s everything.

2. Naomi Watts

This dress is absolutely gorgeous. Coupled with the jewels, this look is amazing.  I wish her hair was different.  This is a very close second for best.

3. Cate BlanchettCateBlanchett

This is high fashion. Not my favorite Cate dress of all time, but she does it well.

4. Lady Gaga

Pants under a train of a dress.  This is fashion and I love it.

Love/hate relationship with this dress, but I think I like it more than I don’t like it.

10. Pryanka Chopra

Beginners luck – this is a beautiful dress.

The Hotness

Henry Cavill- WOWZA yum. Nardo looking dapper as usual, Sam Smith looking one stomach flu away from emaciated, and Common looking awfully “white” at the Oscars.

The Show

Best joke – “Jada Pinkett Smith boycotting the Oscars is like Me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited.”

“Best Black Friend category.”

“They unplugged the real Ray. We don’t need two of these.”

“I’m a Danish Girl” *eats danish* Tracy Morgan

Best Costume Design winner ate at Cracker Barrel this morning.

Best Production Design at least wore her fancy leggings and pearls.

Can someone get that woman who just won for Best Hair and Makeup a stool?

Marco Rubio just won the only thing he is going to win this year, Best Animated Short.

Were you disappointed too when Patricia Arquette said, “And the Oscar goes to Mark….Rylance”? He was really good, but I love Mark Ruffalo.

Stallone is probably pissed that he won’t ever have another chance to win an Oscar.

WOW – that was Diane Warren’s umpteenth nomination and her “sure thing”- sad for her.

Standing ovation for Leo – a very well deserved win for him FINALLY!

Spotlight winning was no surprise to me, I loved that movie and thought it was a well deserved win.

*****

Chris Rock does it again, hosting an excellent Oscar show.  I thought he was great handling all the controversy.  I love when he makes himself giggle.  Overall I thought the show was kind of boring, so I don’t have much to say about that.  It was wonderful to see Leo finally win his first Oscar after so many nominations and excellent performances.  Alejandro G. Inarritu is truly having a time in history.  What a talent.  Mad Max ruled this year in what was a strange array of Best Picture nominations.  Overall, Spotlight being the winner is the right choice.  Until next year!
