So the Oscars were last night, and I have to say, they were GOOD. Between the amazing performances by Lady Gaga (that girl can SING!) and John Legend/ Common (yes, it made me cry), the awareness brought to diseases including ALS and alzheimer’s, suicide prevention, equality, and the genius hosting by NPH, it was just really enjoyable. Plus, the movies actually seemed good, which sometimes isn’t always the case. Like, I actually want to watch all of the movies now. Although, my memory’s probably failing me right now as I’m pretty sure this is the case every single year. So I guess we have some movie nights in our future. ;) Did you know I live tweeted last night? That was fun. I’ve got my highlights down below, plus my picks for Best and Worst Dressed. Let’s do it.
Anna Kendrick is absolutely STUNNING. I love the color, love the cut, love the elegance. It’s just perfect.
Ana Faris! Gimme that dress NOW!
Jamie Chung. I’m obsessed with her gorgeous ball gown.
Jennifer Aniston does not age. And this nude gown is perfection.
Rosamund Pike’s red dress. So lovely!
Robert Duvall’s wife’s dress OMG. The sparkle! The color! LOVE it! (p.s. Zack called her “Roberta Duvall” haha)
I just. I have no words. No.
Nicole Kidman, what is even happening here? The mismatched red belt. The shiny dress. MY EYES.
The front wasn’t too bad on Marion Cotillard’s dress, but THE BACK HAD SOME WEIRD BLACK BAR on it and it was just… not good.
I just don’t get Felicity Jones’ dress. I do love the bottom, but the color and the chain mail look? Not a fan.
Lady Gaga always like to be prepared just in case she needs to do any dishes. You know how it is. Can’t get those hands pruney! ;)
So I guess Solange Knowles just kind of rolled out of bed and wrapped her satin sheets all around her and was like “Well, this will do!”
And some highlights from my live tweets:
- Who’s that guy standing next to Faith Hill? (I don’t think I’ve ever seen Tim McGraw sans his hat.)
- “I think she’s wearing an Alaia.” An a-whatta?
- OK if you’re a man at the Oscars you’re either wearing a dark navy suit with a bow tie or a black suit with a bow tie. #boring
- Uhhhhh Khloe Kardashian is certainly no fashion expert. Whomp whomp.
- Giuliana: “Khloe, any feelings on it?” WHO CARES.
- Liam Neeson still needs to narrate my life… Gotta get on that.
- Somebody needs to thank the Academy soon, or else I’m gonna be pissed.
- RE: pockets. Dresses with pockets are EVERYTHING and I’d probably have my hands in them too because I never know what to do with my hands.
- Meryl Streep walks in stage. Zack: “Who is this?” Me: OH NO YOU DIDN’T.” #Oscars2015 (btw he was totally kidding. He knows who she is)
What are your picks for best and worst?
Have you seen any of the movies that won last night?

Ashley @ My Food N Fitness Diaries
Yes, totally agree on your picks! I was in love with Anna Kendrick’s dress, and seriously, Jennifer Aniston never ages!
Katie
I want Anna Kendrick’s dress in my closet, kthx.

Heidi
Robert Duvall’s wife’s dress looks almost identical to J LO’s I gotta say, I think J LO rocked it a little better! But the dress is stunning on both ladies.
Katie
Yes, they were totally twinning! I just loved the color of Duvall’s dress more than the nude one. I’m having a coral moment, apparently! ;)

Helene
I didn’t even see Jamie Chung! You’re right- love it!
Katie
Isn’t it fabulous?! Ob-sessed.

Brittany
I always make it my personal mission to try to see all the movies nominated for Best Picture before the awards. This time, I saw six of the eight, so I’m happy about that. I still REALLY want to see Whiplash and Into the Woods!
Katie
WOW, girl, I’m impressed! So which was your favorite out of the ones you’ve seen?? Do you think they got it right?
xo
Brittney
I loved Jennifer Aniston’s look!!!! I don’t think I have seen hardly any of the movies that were nominated! Lets be real who has time to watch a movie with a one year old!! :) But I do really want to see American Sniper!
Katie
HA! Seriously! We definitely don’t see many movies these days… We’ll get there. ;)

Rachel
Anna Kendrick and Anna Ferris were my top picks too! America Ferrera’s dress was also very pretty, a great colour for Spring. I also really liked Jennifer Lopez’s overall look. Her dress was stunning (very similar to Robert Douvall’s wife) and her make up looked perfect. I’m usually not a fan of Jennifer Lopez’s style, but last night she looked great.
Katie
I agree, America’s was gorgeous! J Lo did look really good! But she always does, who are we kidding.

Nicole
I LOVE Anna Kendrick, her dress was just perfect!
Katie
AGREED!

Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl
The sad part is that Lady Gaga’s dress is almost sort of “normal” compared to what she has worn in the past ;)
Katie
haha I KNOW! At least there was no meat. ;) And I actually LOVE her dress, she just had to ruin it with dish gloves.

Catherine @ foodiecology
I loved everything about Anna Kendrick’s dress! I thought Jennifer Anniston (does she age at all?) and Lupita Nyong’o looked beautiful, too.
I agree with your worst picks-what were they thinking?!
Katie
Yep, agreed! I wasn’t a fan of Lupita’s dress itself, but that woman could wear ANYTHING and look stunning!

Tina
Jamie Chung and Ana Faris look so good. LOVEEEEE their dresses!
brittany
nicole kidman continues to blow my mind with her horrible taste! haha! the rest of the bad ones never surprise me somehow like she always does. i just dooon’t understand why! but i was really excited about how many people wore pretty dresses that night!!! love!!!
Christina
OMG – The Anna’s KILLED it. I wish I could sit on my couch in both of those dresses and eat brownie batter while watching Friends marathons! That would be the best day ever hahaha!
Katie
HA! I completely agree! Best. Day. Ever. I would literally wear those dresses everywhere, I don’t even care!
