Last post about Oscars 2009

I thought JoP could use a little brightening up. Even though I don't want to belabor this season's Oscars because a) I thought it was pretty boring b) I don't think Slumdog Millionaire is as good as everyone else thinks it is. After iming with co-workers today about best and worst dressed, I realized that I liked some of the worst dressed (even Miley!) as much as I hate to admit it. So I've assembled my own best dressed below:


Halle Barry. I'm not actually a fan of hers, and generally I find her fashion picks to just be kind of "eh". But something about this looked really great on her last night and I was envious. Her skin tone is really great and her hair really complemented the dress.





















Whoopi Goldberg. I honestly don't know why I'm picking this. I think she made a lot of worst dressed lists. But something about this really spoke to me. As ridiculous as this sounds, I think it's actually tasteful. The print might be a little overwhelming for some, but I think Whoopi looks good.






















Miley Cyrus. Another worst dressed on most lists, but I have to be honest - this dress caught my eye last night. When they were doing those dumb award show entrances and I was numbed out of my mind on Nyquil, this dress held my attention. Today I read about how much people hated the belt. Which, given. The belt is a little juvenile, but hey - she's 16 and sleeping with a 20 year old underwear model - let her have the belt! I hate Miley (or do I? Hannah Montana is oddly entertaining...), but I think this dress complements her skin tone and is majestic enough for the
Oscars.

















Reese Witherspoon. I really loved the blue richness and the strap placement. It was unexpected. I even think this would have looked great as a shorter dress - maybe cut off with a fuller width around her knees? Sometimes she comes off look a little too old (her own Oscar winning dress, anyone? Bueller? Bueller?). But seriously - I think this makes her look young and it went great with the Oscar stage as well as on the red carpet. I'm jealous.



















Mickey Rourke. I included this one for you, Winnie. But it's a shame he didn't win an Oscar. He clearly put a lot of thought into his outfit and if you look closely you can see his beloved dog around his neck
























Tilda Swinton. This one's for you Thomas. I mean do I expect anything more from her? But still - awesome.



























Jennifer Aniston. I'm more of a Jennifer fan than Angelina these days. Angelina just bores me with her fashion choices - which I get is her point because she's photographed all the time, less money for every picture in which she's basically wearing some version of black and grey, yawn. Lame. Jennifer's dress is fresh and some might say "90's prom dress" (Paddles), I say - cute. And I would wear it. I even like the California Dreamin' braid at the top of her head. Even with a date as lame as John Mayer, I think Jen still managed to look good.





















Lisa Rinna. I love it! What a hot mess! Does anyone remember her talk show with Ty Treadway, (of One Life to Live) Soap Talk? That thing was a riot. Just like this outfit!

I liked Miley's, Reese's, Jennifer Aniston (I see the point about a 90's prom dress but could you not say the same thing about the girl from Slumdog Millionaire? talk about some cheap-looking beadwork) and most of all Mickey Rourke.
