nothing to do with london: oscar fashion.

As promised, I bring to you, on a gloomy misty day in London, a fashion rundown of the Oscars2006. 78years of Oscar ceremonies has proven that the dresses are simply the most exciting thing about the Oscars, yet nothing was really exciting about this one. (Granted, I didn't watch the ceremony over here, but that's what I heard.) So best dress? Michelle Williams, of all people, a Dawson's Creek alumni. She does get points for naming her baby Matilda, however, inspired by the Roald Dahl book. It was yellow, unique, and therefore the best. Otherwise? Eh. I liked Uma Thurman and Salma Hayek's. And although everybody hated it, I dug the ridiculousness and the flounciness of Naomi Watt's dress. I also appreciate Charlize Theron's ugly dress as it reminds me of Boccioni's Unique Forms of Continuity in Space , a futurist statue. (Oh, what pretentiousness!) Also really sweet: the trend of dresses with pocketsas seen on Maggie Gyllenhaal, Sandra Bullock, and Amy Adams. Oh, the joy. Ugly dresses? Not many, but Jennifer Aniston's boring black dresses always piss me off a little. And Jessica Alba? You wear a fancy gold Versace dress wouldn't you, now that you're suing Playboy and really, what is it about her? Why is she so damn popular?

Ah, well, back to our regular scheduled programming. It's gloomy, it's cold, and once again, work is my imminent task.
