Oscars 2013
 

Red carpet coverage has recently started on E!, so we can all start analyzing the fashion choices of the stars. ManiCam is back...even if it is totally creepy

Thoughts so far:
-Jessica Chastain's dress is GORGEOUS! Totally didn't think she could pull off that color with her red hair and pale skin
-Channing Tatum...hubba hubba! His baby mama is also looking radiant

LOVED Jessica's dress.

Major downside to watching the Oscars this year:
Middle of the night in this part of the world. They end at 6.30 in the morning.

Reese looked great too in the Vuitton. Can't believe she had a child 6 months ago. Her hair, just so perfect.

Amy Adams in the pale blue Oscar de la Renta. Wow

Octavia Spencer looks amazing in that pale dress.

Jennifer Lawrence looks absolutely stunning in the Dior Haute Couture. Perfection.

Adele looks great, such an improvement over the Valentino she wore last week.

Naomi Watts in Armani is amazing. Interesting dress, and Liev Schreiber makes for very yummy armcandy.

Anne Hathaway's hair and makeup are gorgeous, dress doesn't look that amazing. Great color, bad cut.

Amanda Seyfried's dress (McQueen I think) is a bit of a let down. Usually she's sartorially inclined, but this is a miss for me.

Jenn Garner has some amazing jewelry on. That necklace!




The best, hands down: Jennifer Lawrence.

Amy Adams' Oscar de la Renta dress is amazing. I want that thing. Not that I have any red carpet events to attend, but I want it

I have a gala coming up in the fall (as in, white tie all the way) I need a new dress, the dry cleaner shrunk my only floor length, tailored, perfect dress and now it doesn't fit anymore. I can zip it up, but there will be no sitting or walking faster than a shuffle or any of that after I zip it all the way up. I need a new dress, but anything Oscar-worthy is waaaaay out of my league!

Not sure how well you know your size, but try RueLaLa right now--they have Red Carpet Worthy dresses as a flash sale right now-- <$300 for Monique Lhuillier

I was not a fan of that Charlize Theron white peplum dress. It wasn't flattering (IMO), and the peplum accentuated her hips and got rid of her gorgeous curves.

Who wore that fuchsia colored dress with the huge ruffles in the back? That was...interesting

I'll have to check that out!


There's only one channel broadcasting the Oscars live here and they take 4 minute intermissions every 15 minutes. So frustrating. And all they do in those 4 minutes is play the same 1 minute sample of a song over and over again and show the twitter feed. So annoying.

I think it was Jennifer Garner.
Not a fan of Charlize's dress either. Disliked Nicole Kidman's dress. Halle looks insanely good.




Now, let's see how Seth does!

I so far, am not a fan of Seth. He can sing...but that boob song was so awkward. It looked like every actress wanted to kill him

My boyfriend found the song hilarious. He's a Seth fan.

I regularly watch Family Guy and American Dad so I'm used to Seth's sense of humor, and tendency to go too far on some aspects. I was expecting this. So far, it was quite funny at some times, and downright awkward at others.

I loved the dance number with Charlize and Channing. She's so graceful.

They all looked so uncomfortable. I just laughed. Come on! You let the girls hang out. Everyone has seen them! You may have thought it was art, ladies, but men are a bunch of boobs when it comes to boobs.

I gave 20 points to Gryffindor for Radcliffe's dancing

hahaha :D

I thought Amanda Seyfried's dress was great on her. I've only been watching with one eye while I finished up my mid-term project for school. Now that it is done, I can really focus.

I've always loved watching the Oscars, but I'm struggling just to care this year.

Too busy with the 2000 pages I must read before March 18. I will indulge in one of my favorite guilty pleasures tomorrow: Fashion Police. I love to watch the episodes after awards shows.

I wish I had seen more of the movies. I really wanted to see a lot of them but only ended up seeing Argo and Les Miz. It makes it harder to care.

Maybe it is me, but I'd rather hear people's acceptances speeches or have it end at a reasonable hour than have a five minute tribute to music from James Bond movies. But I'm crabby and ornery right now anyway.

The Lincoln joke was funny, I have to admit

John Travolta... he should know how to pronounce Les Miserables, right?

And I'm fine with the musical tribute to musicals... lol

Catherine Zeta-Jones' lip sync of All That Jazz was AWFUL

I will admit that I rarely watch award shows, so maybe I'm just clueless, but I didn't realize there could be a tie...

Well now Anne Hathaway can be added to the song.....

Notice that there's no Jaws theme for the big awards? They shut up the little people instead

That's how it's always been, I believe. I think they give more time for best/supporting actor and actress, and for best picture.

Funny that they're using the Jaws theme though. That made me chuckle. I'm glad for Anne Hathaway. It could just be a public persona, but she seems genuine, sincere, and humble. She just seems like someone I would want to be friends with.

Adele's performance of Skyfall was amazing, per usual.

I'm rooting for Argo for Best Picture...something about a non-musical, non-epic drama winning just makes me smile. Nothing wrong with Les Mis or Lincoln, just something different for a change

I knew Jennifer Lawrence was going to take a tumble on the stairs when she didn't attempt to lift the front of her dress..

But she handled it well!

I want to be Jennifer Lawrence's best friend.

Love Michelle Obama's dress.

Let Kristen Chenoweth host the Oscars next year.

I would love that if her voice didn't kill me. I cringed the entire red carpet.

Her voice really makes me cringed. She got a great voice, but I really get annoyed every time she speaks.

I'm not a Kristen Chenowith fan. If we were sending suggestions for future hosts, I would vote for Queen Latifah. I know a lot of people weren't thrilled with Seth MacFarlane, but I think he did pretty much what I was expecting from him, and you either like him or you don't.

I feel like this year's Oscars will forever be known as "the year Ben Affleck should have won best director, but didn't even get nominated." The show was good, overall, I thought. I went 13 out of 24 on my predictions. I got a lot of the "major" categories right, but bombed out on most of the documentary, short films, sound mixing type of stuff. And Amour winning Best Foreign Film, who could have seen that coming? I kid, I kid. ;)

There were just so many good movies that came out over the past year. I would have liked to see Moonrise Kingdom get more nominations, but it sort of slipped through the cracks.

I was at a watch party, so I'm late inserting my 2 cents. And I'm sure everyone has been holding their collective breath.
I like Kristen Chenowith but she is too short to do these kinds of interviews. Women don't look attractive with their heads tilted down that far. And whatshername with the slit eyes and the always ready to flop over from being drunk really wasn't gonna make it through that interview well.
I though Seth McFarlane did great. "We Saw Your Boobs" was worth the cost of admission alone.
I thought most of the dresses were beautiful and (relatively speaking) understated this year. I loved that Helen Hunt wore off the rack. I thought Anne Hathaway's dress was too pale for her. If it was a bit deeper shade of pink it may have really been something. Queen Latifah looked amazing and is proof yet again that you don't have to be a stick to look elegant in a ball gown. And yes, I'd be all in with her hosting a red carpet show. But I'd be all in with her doing just about anything. I think she's charming and talented and always seems to be graceful under pressure. Adele definitely redeemed herself this time. She can't have lost THAT much weight in 2 weeks, so it has to show how dressing correctly can make all the difference. It didn't have to be black, but at least it wasn't red and black velvet curtains.

Not digging the facial hair on the guys. My list of 5 only consists of 2, and George could be at risk of losing his spot if he doesn't get rid of that old man beard.
Final note, there were a couple guys there who stood out (to me) as having age appropriate wives. At first glance I thought "wow, his wife looks OLD." Then I realized, no, his wife is the same age as him! We're just not used to seeing that.

Beards were the in thing this year apparently, and I hope that trend does not continue to the real world!

I feel like it might be time for Jimmy Kimmel or Conan to host--I know Jon Stewart did several years ago, but I don't remember it. Seth was as expected (and funny), but I felt like he was a little bit trashy for the Oscars. I watch the Oscars to see couture gowns and amazing films...not for Family Guy.

Oh man... if looks could kill, Charlize Theron's reaction would have left this show without a host!

I didn't think it was very good this year. I did enjoy the Academy Awards this year though.

I'm more or less with you. His humor is the same as his shows which have been around for over ten years (aka it's been done! ugh). I felt like he could have stepped up a bit more. Some of his jokes really did fall flat, more than usual in award shows. It felt more like the writers weren't doing anything new and he was just delivering without necessarily caring. Trashy is exactly the word I would have used.

Kimmel, Colbert, people like that maybe? I just sat there all night and wished Tina Fey was hosting again.

:confused: The Oscars and the Academy Awards are the same thing.

Thought Seth McFarlane was a dud, but then I'm not a fan to begin with. I found it way too easy to change the channel this year.

My boss mentioned Colbert today--only if he does it in character! Tina Fey and Amy Poehler together would be epic, they were hilarious when they hosted the Golden Globes
