A day late and an undergarment short

The big trend in Oscar dresses this year was one-shoulder:




Amy Ryan, from Gone Baby Gone.


Hillary Swank


Dianne Lane



Anne Hathaway, who should reconsider this particular pose in this particular dress, as it makes her look like her left arm has been amputated.



Katherine Heigl's dress is pretty (if repetitive for her) but holy crap who is styling this girl from the neck-up?


Darken up her eyebrows a bit and it's like 1986 all over again.


In other categories, we've got the Try Too Hard Much?


Miley Cyrus

The Jennifer Garner or Faye Dunaway: You Decide Category:


The Most Likely To Have Been Voted Cutest Couple In High School At The Oscars:


Casey Affleck and his wife, who don't appear all that happy to be there really.

Leading the I Love Them Dearly But I Swear Sometimes They're Both Carved Out Of Cream Cheese Category:

George & Sara


In the Five Months Pregnant? Are You Sure? Category:

Nicole Kidman


In the I Know It's Your Thing To Be Edgy, But Since When Did Edgy = Dressing Like One Of The Golden Girls Category, we have a tie:


Oh, Diablo. I want to love you, I really really do. But what is this? It looks like a night gown. That happened to be cut up to your hoo-hah. So not a good choice. And OMG, there are sooo many things you could've worn that would have been edgy on you. You could have rocked some killer dress that no one else could pull off. And you went with this. I'm very disappointed in you.


As well as Ellen Page. You're young. You're cute. You have a great name. You can still get a handle on this thing. Start with a stylist.

OK, on to Best and Worst!

Kerri Russell is Best/Playing It Safe. A close up:

Knocking 'em out, Felicity!



Marion Cotillard is Best/Taking A Risk. The opinions on this dress have been quite extreme. I'm not saying I love it. I don't think I would wear it. But she's French! And the dress is French! And the whole French package just works for me. Especially with that gold-statuette-accessory.



Helen Mirren is Best/She Never Lets Me Down



Penelope Cruz is A Best/I Can Finally Agree With. She should never wear her hair pulled back tight again:





Heidi Klum is Best/There Is No Over-The-Top, It's The Oscars Bitches! Someone had to step up with J.Lo out of the picture. The head shot:

How much do you love all that fake hair? I freaking LOVE IT!



At the other end of the spectrum from The Good is The Bad and The Crazy:

DDL's wife (whose name I don't even know) is Worst/WFT IS SHE WEARING??

Cameron Diaz is Worst/Is It The Oscars Or A Day Of Surfing? The dress was pretty bad, too:

Especially from the back:

And frankly, you'd think she would've learned her lesson last year, when she wore practially the exact same dress:

Where's your Tilda Swinton picture? She looked horrible!

For Ellen Page I wonder if it's not a question of money. Juno, after all, is her first big movie. She's worn an awful lot of black though. Some colour, and something that shows off her waist a bit better would be nice (she's normal-sized too! take that Hollywood)
