The Morning After: The 85th Academy Awards

It came true...

We need to get this right out of the way from the top:

This is by far the biggest win of the evening! Two of our picks made it on the RC. We could not be more thrilled and we have determined that we are basically the voice of fashion.

Ok, now that that's out in the open we can concentrate our ramblings to last night's singing sensation of a show! It was in fact a show full of musical moments and we didn't hate it. We were actually impressed with Seth MacFarlane's musical stylings and he was pretty funny at times. We will admit to underestimating him. We will not openly admit to developing a tiny crush on him...

Now let's discuss the fashion (since we are now official style critics and mavens):

Best Dressed Ladies: Jessica Chastain in Armani Prive, Naomi Watts in Armani Prive (Amazing season for Armani Prive, this dress is flippin' pin point) and Sandra Bullock in Elie Saab.


Worst Dressed Lady: Anne Hathaway in Prada. Apparently Hathaway pulled a last minute switcheroo and wore this apron styled as an early 2000's prom dress. She has been dropping the ball ALL AWARDS' SEASON. Who is advising her? This cannot continue.


Honourable Mentions: Halle Berry in Versace, Bond Girl indeed! Those breasts look like Barbie's. Selma Hayek in Alexander McQueen and Charlize Theron in Dior Couture.


Best Dressed Men: DDL of course and Chris Pine in double breasted!

Worst Dressed Men: Mark Wahlberg in painted on tux and Russell Crowe in too tight tux.

Unexpected cute guy who received the most camera time: The adorable Suraj Sharma from Life of Pi.


Best Dressed couple: We have to give this to Ben and Jen. Although we were stunned (in a bad way) by the bizarre train/bustle, we loved the colour. She deserves this win after Ben told the world that it is hard work being married to her.

Most improved: Stacy Keibler in Naeem Khan. She is actually making great leaps forward with this gown.


Sparkliest of all the sparkly dresses: Meryl Streep in Lanvin.


Biggest disasters: Renee Zelleweger in Carolina Herrera obviously (We think the red carpet correspondents who even ask her who she's wearing should be fired and replaced permanently by Kelly Rowland). Thank god for Queen Latifah stepping up as the consummate professional that she is. And we later found out Kristen Stewart was on crutches. But is that a valid excuse for sighing audibly while Daniel Radcliffe is presenting? No it is not.

Best 20 seconds: Jennifer Lawrence winning Best Actress, stumbling on the stairs (we knew that dress would be too much for her, or anyone) and Hugh Jackman rushing over to assist her, what a gentleman!


Best Joke: The missing Von Trapp family.

It was ok to be confused by: He loooooooves Gooooldddd. Bradley Cooper's mum's feather bolero jacket. Russell Crowe trying to sing. And why are sound editors required to have long flowing white hair?

We would like to thank Mike and Kevin for hosting a fantastic Oscars viewing party last night!

Sing-songingly yours,
