The 2014 Oscars had some wonderful fashion moments from Lupita Nyong’o to Charlize Theron. They also had a couple of “what the hell were they thinking?” moments. Here are my best and worst dressed of last night’s Academy Awards.
BEST DRESSED
AMY ADAMS
Simple and just beautiful.
SANDRA BULLOCK
She’s wearing the same blue as Amy Adams but the dresses are completely different as well as the styling. This is Sandra Bullock’s best awards season look. She had been very hit or miss so I’m glad that she knocked it for the biggest of the award shows.
LUPITA NYONG’O
She looked so good last night. I wasn’t a fan of the headband but that was about it. I had to give you three views of the dress. I love blue so it’s not a shocker that my favorite dresses last night were some variation of my favorite color. Last night was her night and she delivered in every way possible beginning with this red carpet look.
CHARLIZE THERON
She can do no wrong in my book. She consistently knocks it out of the park except for that time where she had a beautiful metallic gold dress but got a really bad spray tan at the 2004 Oscars where she won for her role in Monster. Black is also one of my favorite colors.
The 85th Annual Academy Awards are finally over. One of the best things about the night is of course the FASHION. It is one of the biggest nights for fashion and the ladies did not disappoint. Check out the gallery for my best and worst of the night.
Charlize Theron Couldn’t decide best dressed so it is a 3 way tie for me between Charlize, Stacy and Naomi. Worst dress is most definitely Anne Hathaway.
The 85th Annual Academy Awards took place last night and it seems everyone got a bit of love from the academy. Life of Pi was the big winner taking home 4 awards, followed by Argo and Les Misérables with 3. Skyfall, Djanjo Unchained and Lincoln received 2 awards each. Check out the full list of winners.

The 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards took place last night and it was definitely a memorable evening. The event was hosted by funny ladies Tina Fey and Amy Poehler who took the reins from Ricky Gervais who hosted the show for the last 3 years. There were so many great moments from the opening with Fey and Poehler where they made fun of Kathryn Bigalow, Anne Hathaway and various others, to Jodie Foster’s speech as she accepted the Cecil B. Demille Award. There were also some awards given. Most were pretty predictable but others (Girls winning for Best Comedy) were completely surprising. Here are the list winners.

I know this movie came out maybe 3 weeks ago but I hadn’t seen it. I kind of wanted to see it because I like Anne Hathaway but I also didn’t want to because it just looked ok and I would have had to pay for it because there was never a screening for it. Anyway I was dragged (just kidding) to go see this by some lovely, wonderful friends of mine and what started out as a clichéd chick flick left me feeling pissed off and bamboozled by the ending.
I had seen the trailer to this movie a million times in the past weeks leading up to its release and never did any trailer I saw allude to what was to come in the movie. I thought I was going to have a lovely time with friends where we laugh at all the ridiculous things leading up until these two main characters get together (they ALWAYS get together) but by the end were in tears and angry (and not just at Anne Hathaway’s awful British accent).
I can’t say what happens in the movie but if you are going in expecting la dee da roses and rainbows brace yourself because this is definitely not a movie to watch when you want something light. Overall I thought the movie was pretty good and typical, it’s just that the ending kind of killed the good feelings I had for it.
