Oscars II

My favorite dress of the evening, Roberto Cavalli, worn by Catalina Sandino Moreno.

Annette Benning in a beautiful neckline.
Penelope, don't ever put a bow on your ass, even if it is lemon yellow. Why beige? Why so much beige, Gwyneth - btw, dress didn't fit - Laura, Regina, Halle - thank god your dress fit this time, and Maggie? Doesn't anyone remember Jennifer Connolly in 2002? Scarlett, if your hair's not frizzy, why would you make it so?



Ladies in red Emmy Rossum and Renee Zellweger looked lovely, although if you're going to be a presenter, Renee, it would be a good idea to be sure you can walk in your dress first. Kudos to Hilary Swank and Helen Mirren as well for beautiful and unique choices, and check out Usher's Glamazon. Tons of additional photos here. Several sightings of the all new, now available in stores inflataboob, especially on one of Sidney Lumet's daughters - yikes!

And finally, if you were struggling to empathize with Ray Charles, Beyonce's necklace in the Phantom of the Opera segment was designed to blind. If we have to listen to Beyonce sing in French, why don't we have to listen to her sing in Spanish? In fact, why do we have to listen to her sing at all? Actually, it was less the singing and more the random attempts at dancing that were distracting. Vanessa Paradis would have been a far better choice, if one could wipe the pout off her face.
