OSCARS!!!

So I'm about 4 days late, but you know, just coming back from New York, lost luggage, being in a comatose state for a while, all meant that i forgot to discuss my annual, non-guilty pleasure, the Academy Awards! Although i missed the live televised version on Sunday night, i quickly paid the Sky bill (with my overdrawn debit card) which always seems to switch off when my mum goes away, and watched the repeat the day after on sky movies, as well as the Fashion Police on E! and a repeat of the red carpet on the same channel!

First i have to get this off my chest!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE MICKEY ROURKE DIDN'T WIN BEST ACTOR!!! WHY!!! He has swept every awards show clean so far this year, it doesn't make sense, he was a shoe in!! I guess people were right when they said he pissed off too many members of the academy all those years ago... urgh Sean Penn... if he wasn't so self-righteous i wouldn't have minded him winning!

Anyway back to the clothes!

Angelina Jolie was stunning as usual, I'm so happy to see her finally wearing something figure hugging and something youthfull as opposed to a few of her recent choices which have been dowdy and only been somewhat acceptable because she was wearing them.!

plus her emerald earrings absolutely made that ensemble.....gorgeous!



Another person who always looks on point is Natalie Portman. Now i'm not a big fan of wearing pink, but this gown was so pretty and the detail on the bodice was sooooo nice that even i would put aside my dislike for pink and wear this dress.



One of the big winners of the night Kate Winslet looked as beautiful as always although this is not my favourite dress of hers this season. Her SAG award gown definitely stood out and suited her much better, her dress at the Oscars made her look much older than she is!



At the Oscars!



At the Screen Actors Guild Awards!

Tilda Swinton is one of the great actresses our country has produced, and although she may not have reached the commercial heights of Winslet, she definitely has the acting chops to match her. Swinton is known for wearing very Avant Garde outfits straight off the runway, and i think its fair to say her style is one that few people understand, and because of this she is a regular on worst dressed lists!

I admit it, even I have been one to laugh and point, as this androgynous and sometimes awkward looking actress strides down the red carpet.




But this time was different, Tilda looked alright! Wearing a Lanvin dress, or two piece (i'm not sure which), Swinton looked very put together, whilst still keeping her own style!



Lastly on the men's side, which doesn't really leave much to talk about other than there being the usual sea of black tuxes and the odd shiny lapel, Mickey Rourke is one that has divided fashion critics, but cannot be knocked for always staying true to himself. This time he showed up in a white suit which definitely made him stand out, with his usual bits n bobs hanging off him, pins, broaches, chains,and his staple pointy shoe!




Y!
