Fashion Friday Photo: Golden Globes 2013

This past Sunday, the 13th, was the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Golden Globe Awards. So here with some slightly snarky remarks and nicely said things and all will be deserved, about the  2013 Golden Globe Awards  fashion. I will say first, that there seemed to be an awful lot of drab colored, mixed in with some red and at least one aubergine, dresses worn. I don't know why but I am just having a terrible problem with the colors this year, for the most part they were just so friggin' boring.

Kelly Osbourne - Bust darts do not belong that high. They go under the bust not on top of the bust.

 

Miley Cyrus' hair is the only thing that bugs me. I guess it is supposed to look like she is wearing her hair as a bun on the top of her head.

Claire Danes arriving at the Golden Globes in a red Versace dress. It is a very nice dress, but I just have a problem with pleats on the bust...on any dress. It just bugs me to no end. I guess because it makes clothing look untidy. But yes, I do see it would mess up the bottom part of Claire's dress if the top part did not have pleats.

Biased as all get out towards Michelle Dockery, Lady Edith of Downton Abbey, wearing Alexandre Vauthier cream and gold brocade gown.

Until I scrolled all the way down I was in love with Tina Fey's dress by L'wren Scott and then it happened. The dress ends at the calf. No. No, no,no. The dress would look so much better if it was floor length.

Amy Adams was in a mermaid Marchesa dress. A part of me likes the dress and the other part of me, not so much. I think it's the color, or I should say, the lack thereof.Thank goodness for the red carpet or we may not have seen the dress at all because it is so pale.

Okay time for Jennifer Lawerence. What was going on with her bust? Are those supposed to be pockets to catch crumbs when she eats? Are are they faux pockets that are just there to irk us?And are her nipples showing through? Other than that I love her Dior dress.

Bradley Cooper, who kind of has this "I really don't want to do this but I will" look on his face. At least to me. Bradley wore a Tom Ford tuxedo.

 

Katherine McPhee looks like she has electrical tape covering her breast.The dress was done by Theory who needs to go back to the sketch pad until it can become a Fact.

Jessica Chastaine have you ever heard of saggy boobs? Because that is what your Calvin Klein dress is making you look like you have. But the dress is a lovely color.

Hayden Panettiere wore a Cavalli form fitting mermaid gown in what is said to be pink. The dress looks great on her because she is such a petite woman and it elongates her body, but the color. If it was just a shade darker it would be okay but no where near the Barbie pink clutch purse, which was a great accent piece I just don't want to see a blob of it.

I absolutely love Isla Fisher in her shimmering golden paillette Rema Acra dress. Luckily, it seems she left her gaudy piece of husband, Sacha Baron Cohen at home.

Adele in Burberry. She may not be a fashonista, but really how many of us truly are, but I love that she has her own style and doesn't give a rat's butt what anyone, outside of those close to her, thinks.

Zooey Deschanel has a tiny bit of a retro feel going with the big pearls which I love because pearls are my favorite. Her red Oscar del Renta dress looks as if it could do with a bit more steam to get the rest of the wrinkles out. Other than that I have no problem with her dress. Oh and there are NO darts or little flaps on her bust...Hallelujah! 

Meghan Fox in a Dolce & Gabbana lace dress. Love the detail of the lace but it's another Eh? dress with the lack of color. But then her dark hair does help it stand out a bit more than say...a blonde would. Plus she is slowly getting rid of her Marilyn Monroe tattoo on her right forearm.

What was Sienna Miller thinking wearing this dress? Somebody's stylist needs to have their fashion license revoked.

Taylor Swift looking elegant in this aubergine, some would call plum, Donn Karan dress.

 

Lucy Liu's Carolina Herra ballgown floral pattern looks familiar to me but I'm just having trouble placing it. My favorite part about the dress is that it had pockets. I am a pocket person and on most dresses I wouldn't like them but on this one, I love.

Now from one Sherlock Holmes character to another. Oh Benny. Hi! Sherlock himself, Benedict Cumberbatch looking irresistible in a Spencer Hart suit. Love his eyes.

Love the Stella McCarthy tuxedo jacket style capri pant suit worn by Amy Poehler.

2012 Oscars

  Last night marked the 84th Annual Academy Awards and it had very few surprises. For me the biggest surprise was Meryl Streep winning Best Actress Award for "The Iron Lady", I was fully expecting Viola Davis to win the award for her movie "The Help" and I guess "Rango" winning Animated Feature instead of "Puss in Boots" left some people disappointed. I am not one, for I could care less about the entire category. But then by the time it came to the Animated Feature category I was on the verge of not giving a rat's butt on any of it, I just wanted it to be finished.  Billy Crystal and the Oscars started of strong but then they blew it with all those friggin' testimonials and the presenter's schtick that cut into the winners acceptance speeches (YES Robert Downey, Jr. I'm talking about you and maybe Jennifer Lopez and Cameron Diaz). If these were cut out maybe it wouldn't seem longer than three hours. But with 5 each,the Oscars were split between "Hugo" for mainly sound, visual and art and "The Artist who won Best Picture, Director, Actor, Music and Costume.

  But  even with all that the show wasn't too awfully bad for it has been worse (David Letterman and James Franco). I was happy to see Christopher Plummer win his Oscar for "Beginners" which considering he had just won his first Oscar after all these years, one would think he was a beginner in show business. God Bless Christopher Plummer, the Susan Lucci of the Oscars.

You're only two years older than me, Darling. Where have you been all my life. I emerged out of my mother's womb, already rehearsing my Academy thank-you speech. But it was long ago,mercifully for you I've already forgotten it.

  Octavia Spencer. Dear, sweet, strong Octavia Spencer swept the award season this year with the cherry on top her win for Best Supporting Actress Oscar for "The Help", playing Minny Jackson, the housekeeper whose chocolate pies you may not want to eat. Love her.

  The French George Clooney, Jean Dujardin won the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of George Valentin in the French black and white silent film, "The Artist".

  Meryl Streep. What can be said about her that already hasn't been said. One of the most talented and loved actresses of our time won her third Oscar for "The Iron Lady", which is about Margret Thatcher, after a 30 year drought, including 17 nominations. ABOUT TIME!

    The Best Director Oscar went to the French director for the movie "The Artist" Michel Hazanavicius,  beat out Hollywood veteran directors Marin Scorsese, "Hugo" and Woody Allen, Midnight in Paris" to win his first Oscar.

  And the 2012 Best Picture went to "The Artist". It's almost like the little movie that could. It is a black and white film plus it is a SILENT movie. This movie was lighting in a bottle, I don't think we'll see another silent movie win a major award again.A black and white movie winning again in maybe in twenty years because that is about how long it's been since "Schindler's List" came out and won Best Picture, so twenty year intervals maybe the new normal. But "The Artist" is good and I am waiting for it to come out on DVD.
