Best dressed (not in any order)

Merly Streep, Taraji P. Henson, Marisa Tormei(I would be remiss, if I did not comment on this 40 year olds body. Saw her in the Wrestler, where she plays a stripper. She spent a great deal of this film in a thong and pasties and she wasn’t posed-best body going) , Angelina Jolie, Penelope Cruz, Natalie Portman, Kate Winslett, Viola Davis, Diane Lane, Frieda Pinto and Tilda Swinton.

Worst Dressed (not in any order)

Sarah Jessica Parker, (her too long hair  parted in the middle/did make her look like the wicked witch of the North…Would someone get this woman to do something else with her hair and some reminded her at some point age tells us we can no longer wear anything and still look great.)

Amy Adam’s red dress and necklace with her red hair made her one blob, I would have loved more contrast with her beautiful hair.

Anne Hathaway’s dark hair and eyes and very pale skin needs to find some color that enhances those attributes. Beautiful dress, but didn’t work for me on her.

Heidi Klum, I love you, but not the dress nor the hair.

Sophia Loren is a great and classic beauty.  I was thrilled to see her and thought she looked fantastic - even with all the ruffles. 

Meryl Streep - best dressed

Alicia Keys - stunner of the night

Anne Hathaway - most beautiful dress

 Mickey Rourke - biggest heart on their sleeve

There was an overabundance of white dresses - many which were a bit bridal fashionesque.

Note to Sean Penn - it takes more time and energy to explain away why you omitted your spouse from your speech than to toss them a generous note of gratitude.  Also, it was touching to see that your hands were trembling during your acceptance speech.  You’re flesh and blood afterall - wow!

Frieda Pinto’s dress-the color, the design, beautiful!  Not to say that there were others that were not as beautiful, but Frieda’s was my favorite, on her.  There was only a few that I could have worn, so there’s no envy on my part.  I would have liked to have seen the ring, Frieda was wearing.  It was said to have been over 125 years old and from India?

Yes, I loved those EMERALDS!  Beautiful.  And Angelie Jolie looked wonderful wearing them in her understated gown.  I thought she looked the best.

So many have said that Meryl Streep was best dressed.  Really?  She does wear those off-the-shoulder evening gowns and I really do not think they are the best style for her.  However, the dress was lovely.  All the tuxes looked good.

Best acceptance speech was by Kate Winslet.  Sean Penn’s speech was not surprising but I did enjoy his line "I know how difficult I make it for people to like me". 

I loved Meryl Streep’s comment on the red carpet when asked if she and her daughter had difficulty choosing dresses together for the evening.  The daughter said yes and Ms. Streep said, ‘No, this one fit.’

Peace and grace

What’s with Goldie Hawn and her boobs hanging out of the strapless gown and that overly long hair. Maybe she shouldn’t try to still be a sex pot at her age. She’s still very attractive, but cover up a bit, and leave that for the younger ones who are sexpots.
