Alba wasn’t at the Oscars, she went to the Vanity Fair party only, which a number of nominees/attendees at the Oscars changed and dressed down for. If she’d worn a full gown (as she has when she was actually attending the ceremony), you’d be on her ass for overdressing for a party. I liked her dress fine for the event she was attending. And Halle was anything but boring, man, va va voooom.

I guess because I live in a bilingual city where I’m used to francophones speaking english and vice versa, accents don’t bother me. Some francophones speak english without an accent and others have such thick accents and bad grammar, yet they’ve been speaking english forever. It’s just how people are.

Her english doesn’t bother me at all, I just have to pay attention a little more. I just like looking at her, she’s so lovely.

I’m Spanish but I live in England and speak English with a British accent. Kills me when I hear Penelope Cruz speaking in English, I’m like “make a fucking effort for fuck’s sake everyone’s watching you”. Penelope Cruz’s inability to speak English properly gets on my tits. Big time. Her dress is growing on me though.

Penelope’s English has gotten SO good. How could you NOT understand a single word she says? Really.

Overall I would definitely say there were too many over sized bows on hideous satin wrapped entities.

I totally agree! Prom is the most fitting word for most of the dresses during the awards. They all change from the red carpet to the stage, and most of the dresses on the stage were awful!!

I concur with your assessment, Sam: dull, awkward, unflattering. I couldn’t tell if it was the Academy Awards or a prom.

I found Hugh Jackman really bland. In a few days, I’ll probably even forget he was the host. IMO, both Jon Stewart and Ellen Degeneres did a better job.

did the ladies try to tone it down for the recession? i think maybe so. anyway, my observations:
claire danes: if that dress had been full length i would have adored it.
debra messing: loved it.
patricia clarkson: lovely, and age appropriate.
meryl: nice…a bit boring, but for meryl it’s pretty good.
rachel weiss: dear god, why?!
sjp: pretty.
sheryl crow: can someone please hold her down and feed her a cheeseburger or something?
madonna: dear god, she needs to cover up her man-arms.
miley: looked like she was runner up in a miss teen texas pagent or something.

Rashida Jones- Very cute dress.
Rachel Weisz- I WANT MY CHRISTMAS TREE SKIRT BACK!
Jada Pinkette Smith- Animal House called, they want their toga back.
SJP- Good choice.
Brice Dallas Howard- Stole the dress from Richie Cunningham’s Mom.
Jessica Alba- Hideous dress, combed her hair with toast.
Jessica Biel- Points for bold color, still an ugly dress.

Okay, I’m done now.

Ditto on the hair. I know times are rough for our poor, poor celebs and all, but did everyone fire their stylist?
