Oscar Favorites.

Monday, February 27, 2012 § 0

I always have a hard time picking my absolute number one favorite dress, but I think it's a tossup between these three lovelies:

Rooney Mara, SUCH a classy character.  Rooney only wears black and white, and it's usually black, so I love that she chose white for the Oscars.  Totally contrasts with that gorgeous inky black hair.  

The minute Molly and I saw Jessica Chastain in this dress, we both started screaming 'MCQUEEN! MCQUEEN!' because we just knew.  I'm so glad she went soft with her hair, too...it's simple but it goes perfectly with this dress.  LOVE. 

Who on God's good Earth could dislike something this gorgeous?  I had high hopes for Michelle, because she's one of my fashion icons, and she did not disappoint.  Peplum= AMAZING. Instant classic.  

Here are some of my other loves of the night: 

Okay, CANNOT get over this adorable vintage Dior polka dot dress...but Natalie, girl, what's with that hair?  The hair just ruined the entire ensemble for me.  It's pretty and all, but does not go with the dress.  She needs a braided chignon or a high bun or something.  I just felt bad for that beautiful dress. 

Always classic, always gorgeous, the lovely Emma Stone, everybody.  I love her and will love anything she ever chooses to wear, but after seeing this, I (along with the rest of the blogosphere) could not get Nicole Kidman's 2007 Balenciaga stunner out of my mind.  Same red hue, same neck bow...Emma, girl, I wanted something crazy original!  It's still a gorgeous dress on a gorgeous woman, but your oscar gown is not supposed to bring gowns from years past to mind!! Well, there's always next year...

All right, I know she's not really a starlet or anything but this Giuliana pretty much brought it yesterday.  This gown is stunning.  Maybe a half-updo would have looked better, but still, girl....WURK

And of course, my queen, my goddess, the light of my life...Mrs. Meryl Streep, everyone.  The moment I saw her, I was like, "there's no way she's not winning an Oscar DRESSED like an Oscar.  It just must happen."  AND IT DID.  I pretty much did a victory dance all over my dorm when she won.  P.S., her acceptance speech was the most adorable thing to ever grace this planet Earth.  Just saying.  Streeping hardcore over here.  

My favorite moments of the night: when The Artist won best director, best score, Jean DuJardin for Best Actor and then BEST EFFING PICTURE (a title the movie so rightly deserves). When the Streep won Best Actress...when Plummer won Best Supporting Actor for the first time in his 82 years (when he said "You're only two years older than me, darling, where have you been all my life?" I was pretty much sobbing out of joy)...when Rose Byrne and Melissa McCarthy did a 'Scorsese' shot....When the Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore won for Best Animated Short (I'm pretty sure I pulled a hamstring for all the victory dancing I did for that one)....Emma Stone's adorable presenter speech....loved it all.  All of it. 

I love the Oscars, people.  Love 'em. 

Au revoir,
Cooper

Getting emotionally prepared for the Oscars.

So I'm pretty much watching E! all day long and looking back on old moments like these:


(sad now, but that DRESS)

When they won the Oscar for Good Will Hunting and were basically fangirling on stage...LOVE.  Probably my favorite moment ever.  

An iconic picture, iconic couple, iconic DRESS. Love MUSTARD

There are so many more moments that I love but let's just leave it at 3 for now.  

I'm such an Oscar dork- I've always dreamed of being there, whether I'd be onstage winning the oscar for Best Original Screenplay or on the arm of hunky-nominated best actor, who would be just honored to have acclaimed author dressed in the gorgeous Galliano by his side. 

Get ready for my Oscar spam tomorrow. 

HAPPY OSCAR NIGHT! 

Oscar Fashion, baby.

And don't forget the brinner.  For Oscar night tonight, the sister thought it would be nice to have pancakes for dinner, and she was right!  It was delish.

I love watching the Oscars because it brings out so many things in me.  For one, the fashionista.  My family gets so annoyed with me because I'll start shouting at Kelly Osbourne and Giuliana Rancic as they critique some of my favorite gowns.  If I'm being honest, it also brings out the dreamer in me.  That may be cheesy, but when I see the screenwriter category come up on the screen, when I see them accept their award, I can't help thinking that that could very easily be me someday.  I've got the biggest drive to be an established writer, but I don't really know where that's going to take me.  It could take me the magazine route, it could take me the novelist route, and with any luck,  it could take me the screenwriter route.  I don't know yet, but I can't wait to find out!

However, fashion is still one of my favorite parts of the entire thing.  I love all of the gowns and the jewels and the hair and my favorite celebs looking fierce like they always do.  Here are the nominees for Best Oscar Outfit According to Cooper:

Hailee Steinfeld, looking amazing in a Marchesa gown that she helped design! God, I love this girl. 

Mila Kunis, looking sexy and comfortable in Elie Saab

Mandy Moore looking STUNNING in Monique Lhullier

Amy Adams, literally dazzling in L'Wren Scott

Cate Blanchett looking like a work of art in Givency (this is the dress my sister claims she would wear if she ever went to the oscars).

ScarJo looking sexy fine in Dolce (and it's suprising, too! Usually she's very va-va-voom!)

Anne Hathaway in vintage Valentino.  When will she ever not be on this list?

Wow. This is a tough decision.....

So I won't make it.  The oscar goes to all of them.

If there's anything that I've learned from tonight, it's that with a little bit of courage and a whole lotta fashion sense, you too can get to the oscars.  Oh, and that I really need to work on my girl crush on Hailee Steinfeld.  It's getting out of hand.
