(This was my favorite of the night. I don’t think the color was the best choice for Jessica Chastain’s fair skin, but loved the overall look. It was classic, lovely, and very well put-together).
Did you watch the show? Thoughts? I’m not sure how I feel about Seth MacFarlane as the host. Was he funny? Not really. Cheesy? A bit, but aren’t most award hosts a little cheesy? I do wish they would just get Amy and Tina to host everything…but moving on. There were a few timeless looks that I loved last night, and a few that I hope we will never remember. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Were you in agreement with me? Who were your favorites?
(Best looking couple. Ben and Jen looking fantastic as always. They both just seem like such genuine, down-to-earth people too. He should have been nominated for Best Director).
(This was one of my favorite looks of the night. She just looked beautiful. Octavia Spencer did it again this year, so lovely).
(The feelings were mixed on Twitter about Reese and her Louis Vuitton gown. I loved it. I was glad she didn’t follow suit and do the nude thing, but chose a pop of color. I love the bow accent at the top, and the lines of the dress were gorgeous. How can you not love Reese?)
(It wasn’t my favorite, but I did think it was lovely and fit her figure well. Jennifer Lawrence could pretty much wear a paper bag and look good in it. The necklace that hung down the back was stunning).
(I’m such a Naomi Watts fan. She has this timeless quality about her, and she’s also very classy. This is a dress that I don’t think many could have pulled off without looking costume-y. She did it well and looked like a star).
(Ok, I’m choosing Jennifer for one reason only…I like the fact that she wore a hot color and the gown is very pretty. I just wish she would do something different for once, like maybe hair up, or something a bit more edgy?)
(Was it me or did Amy Adams appear very sad or upset? I didn’t think she interviewed very well at all. The dress was lovely and I loved the train. The hair and makeup? Not so much).
(I loved Stacy Keibler’s gown. I’m a bit shocked to see they are still together, but hey, ride that train as long as you can girlfriend! He is George Clooney after all! BTW, who thinks George is looking a bit like Sean Connery?)
And Now for the misses:
AND THE WORST OF THE WORST:
CONGRATULATIONS BRANDI GLANVILLE!!!! YOU NOT ONLY LOOKED AWFUL, BUT HAD NO BUSINESS WHATSOEVER BEING AT THE OSCARS!
Hope you all enjoyed my recap! I’d love to hear your thoughts. What were your favorites and hated moments from the show?

I love Jennifer’s dress the best.

You couldn’t have recapped the fashion any better my dear! I agree with everything written. However, I absolutely would love to wear Halle Berry’s dress! Love it. I really wish everyone would have had their hair up!
Alexandra Miehe says
I seriously had the same thought as you did when I saw Brandi.. The only thing I thought when I saw the picture of her was nip slip..
Jen Lawrence really had my favorite dress!! I also like Zoe Saldana’s dress!!

I agree with your bests! and the worsts well, I don’t really expect much from K Stewart or Helena Bonham Carter so wasn’t disappointed or anything and Brandi, Oh My… what IS she doing at the Oscars? lol
Michelle says
I completly agree about Brandi…ick! Loved your best dressed list, but also I liked Salma. The black velevet may be old school, but she looked good in it 🙂
Chelsea Davis says
Kori, this made me laugh!! God Brandi needs to get out of the LA, go away! LOL I loved your favorites, they were mine too. I am glad Ben at least won for best picture but i agree should have been nom. for best director! Seth did a good job, but the writers for the show, sucked!! Thanks for sharing!

I agree with you on almost all of your favorites. I did notice that Reese was stepping on her gown, so it could have been shorter. I love Jennifer Lawrence and I don’t think she has ever made a fashion mistake. Jennifer Aniston reeeeeally has to do something with her hair. It’s looking stringy and for as much as she gets to dress up for occasions, couldn’t she try something different? Don’t get me started on Brandi!
XO,

I loved Jenifer Garenr’s Gucci dress and also Reese Witherspoon’s gorgeous electric blue number.
I usually love everything Jennifer Aniston wears, but I thought that particular dress was a little nondescript and blah for me (for me at least).
Misty says
I saw people tweeting about Brandi, but I missed her. Geez, that’s just unfortunate.
I agree with most everything you said. Chastain is my pick for best dressed as well. I have to disagree on Salma though. I know I may be in the minority, but I just love black + gold McQueens.
Berty Morales says
Kori, I love all of the ladies that you picked. Everyone look stunning including the men too. Now about BRANDI GLANVILLE, who really invited this woman? LOL. She is horrible and I honestly can see why her ex-husband cheated on her. I know this is mean to say but she has no class at all.

You totally hit the nail on the head Kori!! I 100% agree with your worst and I loved your best dressed too! Jennifer Garner was my #1 of the night 🙂
