It was like an old lady's dress! But the more I stared at it the more I loved it. The whole set was perfect and it was a winner look. The dress is pretty amazing, even if I usually prefer her showing more skin and being more sexy. Her electric blue SAG dress was my favorite Winslet look this awards season (even if I think it wasn't an Oscar dress). She was STUNNING in it.Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08638175280025480597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-36733868274181034442009-02-25T15:11:00.000-05:002009-02-25T15:11:00.000-05:00Best Dresses:Viola Davis (bit traditional, but stu...Best Dresses:<BR/><BR/>Viola Davis (bit traditional, but stunning on her)<BR/>Phoebe Cates (I liked the color and it looked great on her)<BR/>Natalie Portman (the color was beautiful and it was formal without being cumbersome - she seemed so comfortable!)<BR/>Anne Hathaway (the silver sheath on the red carpet)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Half & Half dresses:<BR/><BR/>Melissa Leo (top half looked fine - loved the color matching her hair - but from the waist down it wasn't flattering)<BR/>Frieda Pinto (loved the color but the lace combined with the big ruffle at the bottom was too much!!)<BR/>Amanda Seyfried (liked the color but it almost looked to big for her - she seemed a bit swallowed up in her dress - and I hated the hemline with the bow and the neckline)<BR/>Marisa Tomei - (loved the concept, loved the pleats but it was way too much dress - from the knees down it looked ungainly)<BR/>Heidi Klum (it almost worked)<BR/><BR/>Worst Dresses:<BR/><BR/>Jessica Biel (hello?)<BR/>Miley Cyrus (the belt? the open back? all those shiny scales?

I ...I was seriously annoyed by all the white too... I said 'If Hathaway walks out onto the carpet in white, I'm going to be pissed'. Even though it was a nice dress, she gets put in my 'Meh' section just for being so bland. She's young and hot and her skin is porcelain. SAY IT WITH ME ANNE-- JEWEL. TONES.<BR/><BR/>I loved Cruz's white dress, because of all the details, plus she's a little more tan than Ms. Hathaway- that really was a winner's dress... Ditto Taraji P. Henson, she looked regal, and the white CONTRASTED with her skin.<BR/><BR/>I loathe Natalie Portman, but for me, she's never looked better. Would easily put Evan Rachel Wood up there under best if it was, again, not the same color as her skin.<BR/><BR/>There were very few true offenders, but a lot of 'mehs' for me. As for the guys, Robert Downey Jr. really needs to always shave.

Good clean mormon living is not enough; he probably has great genes, a favorite skin care line, and no history of tanning and sunburn. <BR/><BR/>Winslet, on the other hand... shame she doesn't believe in anti-aging creams. At this rate, she'll actually look 40 when she gets there.adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-61276505014069203952009-02-25T01:30:00.000-05:002009-02-25T01:30:00.000-05:00All Nat's five best-dressed were gorgeous.

But the color was very drab. I couldn't tell whether it was plain grey or brownish (looked different in different light), but regardless, it wasn't great. That dress in a nice amber would've been perfect. Even white would've been great. But not dull grey.<BR/><BR/>I also have mixed feelings on Winslet's dress. On the one hand, it does look matronly, is not flattering to her figure, and seems to be weighing her down (literally). Strange. But on the other hand, it has a sophisticated roman statue kinda feel, the hair is very daring, and it seems to somehow suit her film/role (very somber and European). It <EM>has</EM> grown on me some since I first saw it (I've watched Winslet's speech MANY times).adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-5904088539655893552009-02-25T01:20:00.000-05:002009-02-25T01:20:00.000-05:00Nicole's dress was pretty.

But not the one she wore inside for the musical number (the one she could actually <I>sit in</I>).<BR/><BR/>Also really liked Nicole although a bit too similar to Cotillard last year, but her hair was great and she looked divine. No shiny forehead!<BR/><BR/>Why did Miley Cyrus look as old as Dustin Lance Black really is and DLC look as old as... well, he definitely doesn't look 16, but a good ten years younger than his age. Nat, if mormon teenagers look like that then I should've signed up years ago. Also, they must be taking steroids and growth drugs because I've never seen a teenager look like that (unless it's in the movies or on TV, obviously)Glenn Dunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424659636310160482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-61400752387277506582009-02-24T23:27:00.001-05:002009-02-24T23:27:00.001-05:00Oh, and Halle Berry.Oh, and Halle Berry.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06039130895443623988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-30860771081978001552009-02-24T23:27:00.000-05:002009-02-24T23:27:00.000-05:00Angelina Jolie and Natalie Portman had the best Os...Angelina Jolie and Natalie Portman had the best Oscar style going on.
