Oscars 2011: My Take

Oscars. Fashion blog. Gay man. Fashion review. Hit it!






The Winners: 

1. Cate Blanchett in Givenchy Couture



Cate's a risk taker and has more style than you can shake a pair of chandelier earrings at. The portrait bodice and the stones and the pilgrim style squared off neckline are details no one else would dare. But she pulls them off and she can rock yellow like no other. Go on, now!



2. Gwyneth Paltrow in Calvin Klein Collection


I think this picture actually sums it up: in a sea of Marchesa style frills and frippery, Miss Sleek n' Shine looks like a modern day Paco Rabanne. Take note, Reese, this is how you do 60's homages without looking like a Barbie.



The "it's an honor to be nominated":


1. Reese Witherspoon in Armani Prive


Speaking of which, my sister and a lot of the press loved this. I thought she looked like an Austin Powers villainess and way too costumey.

But Mr Taurus had the best line of the nite with "what's with the obvious Sally Beauty Supply fall?"




2. Amy Adams in L'Wren Scott



I liked this cobalt crusted number and the emerald bracelet is a smart, glamorous pop. That necklace, however, should have stayed in the bottom of the ocean where the Titanic lady left it. Too much. A chic set of earrings would have been the right call here.




The losers:


1. Scarlett Johansson in Dolce and Gabbana



Look I understand she's one of the faces of Dolce and Gabbana, but the face is what is in question here





She looks rushed. Like when you go to a friend's birthday party and you can tell the birthday girl planned the dress way in advance but then was running so late that the hair and makeup were slap dashed. Poor thing. Better luck next year.






2. Nicole Kidman in Christian Dior Couture


It pains me to say this cuz Dior and Nicole Kidman are like fashion no brainers, so how did this go so wrong? Could this look more like a cheap 80's chain hotel's plastic sconces masquerading as fancy light fixtures? What happened to the days when Nicole was fashion royalty? She's dropped the ball a lot lately.





The Upset:

1. Sharon Stone in Christian Dior


You just know Joan and everyone is gonna tear her to shreds, but I love this crazy B for all her insanity and diva bravado.

And that ring. What the hell is with that ring?




You just know she dug that into people's hands and backs without care. Ha. Crazy kook, I love ya!
