The Queen Latifah picture is not from this year's Oscars is it because I've seen her in that dress before.

[AKA2D '91]

No wonder her breastessss lookedded a lil big.

[treblk]

Niaomi (ms) looks very good, not too made up, but elegant.

[serenity_24]

I thought Julia Roberts' dress was amazing.

I still don't know what I think about Soror Jada's dress. I have to look at that picture again because on TV it looked weird I think.

Uma Thurman looked a mess, i agree w/all the fashion critics who said so Nicole Kidman looked fab. she made up for that disaster she wore at the Golden Globes.
question: was Queen Latifah at the Oscars? she was listed as a presenter but i don't recall seeing her.

I guess I'll have to watch this year. There is too much "blackness" not to watch.

[ljkelly]

I am soooo happy for Jamie Foxx!!!

[dzfan]

jamie foxx rocks! I am soo excited for him as well as sideways-great film.

The only one that seemed way out there was super size me-best documentary? Puh-lease I don't need some guy that stuffs his face to tell me that he gained a few lbs!

[pointNclick]

Not a huge fan of ANY of these award shows BUT, with C-Rock hosting, I might just tune in .

pNc

Sidenote: I have heard RAVE reviews about "The Woodsmen" (with Kevin Bacon). I think it's release was a tad late to get an Oscar nod. I like KB as an actor and heard his performance was gripping. Sorry it is not in the mix of films this year. Would have made for even better competition.

[BirthaBlue4]

If Jaime gets BOTH best actor and best supporting, he would have a CORONARY, for real. But I dunno if they ready for all that
