Oscar Appearances & more...

well....I imagine that all of you out there that you love the movies, you have already learned  the winners of last nights Academy Awards.....I think that the 2011 Oscars were given without any surprise everybody knew in advance the winners and unfortunately there was not something for discussion the days after....

Except the dresses....to tell you the truth it was my surprise  that most of the last night' s appearances were just ok...there was not someone dressed in such a way to amaze me, although there were some ladies that somehow managed to make a negative impression.....

for example Nicole Kidman and Gwyneth Paltrow... the first one wore a Christian Dior dress but to tell you the truth it looks like an origami project (and probably a bad one) and the second one with the Calvin Klein dress could definitely understudy the disco ball of Studio 54.... sorry ladies but I think that your last night dress choices were just out...... 

Now look at this gown that Marisa Tomei wore....Really??? Tim Gunn would have suffered several strokes if someone of his Project Runway kids would show something like this.... this dress makes her look like she just had 3 bottles of beer and 2 whole pizzas......  

Ok for this orange hurricane that Jennifer Hudson wears there are not enough words....even though she has lost weight and she is really lovely and beutiful this gown is like an ad for orange juice.......

Now for this appearance I am a little confused....

maybe because I love Cate Blanchett and I really don't like to say something bad...but this dress...it is like an armor...and the yellow lace on the shoulders.... not her best moment........

ok Mrs Sharon Stone has made the right choice for the dress but not the right choice for her styling....I love the dress but her hair is like Frankenstein's bride....otherwise she would be one of the best.... 

there are not much to say with the Oscar winner Natalie Portman...she is just lovely!!!!

and also she is the proof that everywoman, no matter how her body is, can be georgeous if she is dressed properly and if she is well styled!!!!!!

Another good example of good styling: the young and sweet Hailee Steinfeld is well- dressed according to her age without trying to be a woman who goes to Oscars....she is a young fresh girl and that's it!!!! 

Simply chic!!!! Again appropriate for her age Miss Jennifer Lawrence is completely different from her role in the Winter' s Bones and also really astonishing!!!!

The right classic black dress can make a woman look like a star!!!!although Maria Menounos was not one of the stars of last night she shaded most of them with her glow and her greek elegance!!!! 

For me, maybe the most beautiful female appearance in the Oscars

Last but not least, and definetely out of every comment because she is a category on her own is the fabulus Helena Bonham Carter!!!!

Last night she wore a dress made from the "Alice in Wonderland" costume designer Colleen Atwood!!!! She is the woman who does not need a special dress to stand out but the one who makes a dress unique and one of a kind!!!! Respect!!!!!

So that was it for this year!!!!!!

next year again.......I hope for better appearances and certainly for even better movies!!!!!

many kisses

On the road to Oscars

Tomorrow for someone who loves the movies (like myself) is a huge day as it is the Oscars ceremony!!!!
Eventhough I plan tomorrow to make my own predictions (or wishfull thoughts) about who should win the award I thought that it would be fun today to share with you some Oscar fun facts....so....
As you already know Greece  after 15 years with "Dogtooth" has a foreighn language movie nomination, but the country with the most foreighn language movie nominations is France (34) while the country with the most foreign language movie awards is Italy (10)

One of my favorite actresses is Katharine Hepburn, who is the only actress who has won four best actress awards.

On the other hand the sound mixer Kevin O' Connel has been nominated 18 times and yet has won 0....

Last year Kathryn Bigelow was only the fourth woman to ever receive a nomination for best director(it is a man's world...even in the movies) and fortunatelly won it for the movie "The Hurt Locker", which is the movie that was nominated for nine Oscars and managed to win the 6!!!! a considerable number if you think that so far is the movie with the lowest budget that has ever made such an Oscar success!!!

Another actress that I absolutely love,adore, respect, ....is Meryl Streep who is the actress with the most nominations: 16 in total, 13 for best actress and 3 for best actress in a supporting role. So far she has won 2 awards 
Woody Allen is the one who has the most nominations for Best Screenplay (and not as an actor...ironic???)

This year "True Grit" has the youngest and oldest acting nominees : Hailee Steinfeld turned 15 last month, and Jeff Bridges is 62. In case they win (I don't think so though they were really good) they will have only 45 seconds infront of the 3300 seats of the Kodak Theatre, to thank their families, agents, co-actors, etc etc etc. However if Jeff Bridges win this year will be the only actor who have won a best actor academy award for a role that has been already awarded: in the original version of "True Grit" of 1969 John Wayne won the Oscar for playing Rooster Cogburn
soooo what do you think???? do you think that something this year will happen that will be discussed through the years???
