The Oscars 2009

Finally it is here, my Oscars post. It has taken a long long time.
Nude/white shimmer has to be the official look of the night - there was just so much of it going on. Although the winning dress was a blue/charcoal grey Yves Saint Laurent.
When I looked at the pictures online this morning a lot of the dresses I really didn't like, but then I saw them on TV in motion and they looked much better. I'm still not into Jessica's mess of a look or poor Heidi Klum's dress, which she apparently couldn't sit in properly and therefore had a dead-leg all night.
I haven't decided on my favourite look yet. I do think Marion, SJP and Amy Adams (who I haven't included in this post) all looked great.
The surprises of the night for me were Jennifer Aniston, who looked fabulous, I really thought she'd look a bit dull in a black halter dress, and Frieda Pinto. I'm hoping Frieda's dress will grow on me because I really want to like it. It's just the sleeve makes it look like something a much older star would wear. So here it is:


















Feel free to comment on who you rated and hated.
Now I need to go and sleep. My eyes actually sting from looking at the computer too long - so I'm sure there are plenty of typos hanging about.

Update: There may be some confusion over the fact Miley Cyrus is not in the worst dressed section. I think she looked terrible (and why was she even there?) but didn't want to repeat the image so just left her with the shimmery ladies. I am not a fan.
