Pheew! The broadcast ended at 7 am and I had to sleep a bit before I could write something, but I've been so busy the whole day, that I didn't have enough time until now.
In a nutshell, I could say that this this year's Oscars sucked big time, mainly due to the problems with international airing. As for the winners, I was really dissapointed that Atonement got only one Oscar and that Enchanted didn't win the Best Song. I haven't seen Once or August Rush (I suspect they are not goming here at all) but I reeeeally love That's how you know, and it would have been neat if Disney had won the Oscar for best song like in the good old days in 90s'. However, I did like Falling Slowly, even if it sounded a bit borng (and that was propably due to fact that the sounds were bit off at that time), and it's cool that indie musicians won the Osars.
I didn't expect Alexandra Byrne to win the Oscar for costume desing, but I'm glad for her. I was rooting for Jacqueline Durran or Colleen Atwood, since I adore everything in Atonement (probably one of the most perrfect films I've ever seen), and Colleen Atwood is my personal hero with her triangle cutouts.
There were some lovely dresses though.
- Ellen Page Love love love! It's simple, elegant and not too flashy for a girl in her 20s.
- Anne-Marie Duff I adore the colour and the dress has a vintage feel to it. Plus she has James McAvoy on her side.
- Nicole Kidman Maybe the hem is a bit too short, but the cut is elegant and I like her jewellery.
- Helen Mirren Very age aproppriate and gorgeous,
- Anne Hathaway The draping of the skirt is gorgeous.
- Katherine Heigl She's like a classic Hollywood star.
- Amy Adams I don't get why people don't like this dress. The colour is gorgeous on her and the cut is very beautiful.
Saoirse Ronan,
Amy Ryan and
Miley Cyrus all wore lovely dresses, but in my humble opinion Miley Cyrus is a bit too young to flirt with the camera the way she did.
These were quite nice:
- Cate Blanchett The colour is delicious and I love her errings, but the neck tie ir really weird and the dress could have been longer.
- Diablo Cody I like that she marches to her own drum, but the dress could have been more fitted.
- Jennifer Garner It's very stylish, but maybe there s too much going on with the skirt, and her hair looks kind of messy.
- Jessica Alba I adore the colour and the cut, but I think the dress is too low-cut and that she could have dumped the featers.
- Marion Cotillard The cut is beaytiful and her profile is perfect, but let's face it; she looks like a fish.
- Heidi Klum The dress is very statuesque, and Heidi Klum is probably the only person to wear this properly, but maybe it's not a right dress for the Oscars.
And last but not least, the ones I din't like.
- Tilda Swinton Words can't describe how horrendous this dress is. Everything is just off. The fabric, the cut, the proportions *shudder*.
- Sarah Larson She looks like she's wearing grandmom's curtains.
- Jennifer Hudson Not so bad, but a woman with such a large breast could use more support.
- Cameron Diaz I don't understand what's with her every year. Again, the dress is weird (especially the back) and she has that beach hair.
