oscar night

We settled in tonight for the red carpet arrivals so we could analyze each dress and hairdo. Our thoughts so far....

The Good

• A lot of nice strapless gowns and only a few ladies tugging them upward (yes, we saw you Cameron Diaz)
• Natural skin tones instead of orange
• Many flattering red dresses (Katherine Heigel, Anne Hathaway)
• Nice and easy up-dos considering the rainy weather
• Also making my good list is Jennifer Garner looking lovely in black and Keri Russell in a gorgeous champagne

The Bad

• Unlike many of the lovely up-dos I mentioned, Cameron Diaz looked like she came from the gym in a messy ponytail
• The unfortunate dress of Daniel Day-Lewis' wife/date
• Jessica Alba who rarely misses made the wrong dress choice in my opinion. She already had a baby bump and didn't need feathers creating more forward motion

The Unexplainable

• What the hell was Gary A-Busey thinking accosting Laura Linney and Jennifer Garner?
  
• Seth Rogen and the other hairy elf he was with

The show is off to a painfully slow start....did not care for the Jon Stewart opening. He can do a lot better so hopefully he'll redeem himself later on.
