Watched the Oscars Sunday night--well, most of it.
Slumdog Millionaire won the Oscar for best picture--a tale of a poor boy in India who wins the Indian version of "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire."

Brad Pitt was in the running for best actor in "Benjamin Button", but Sean Penn beat him out for "Milk."
Pitt and Angelina Jolie sat on the front row. He was immaculately dressed; she wore a strapless black gown cut so low it barely covered her tata's--one little cough, and they'd have popped out.

Jennifer Aniston was a presenter, and as Brad's ex, the camera panned to Brad and Angelina to catch their reaction--but they kept pleasant faces on.
Speaking of tata's, Sarah Jessica Parker wore a pale minty gown that looked like a 60's prom dress complete with a tulle overskirt, and tata's pushed so up and out they were barely covered-there would have been a major x-rated wardrobe malfunction had she sneezed.

Marisa Tomei wore a fussy off white gown with one wide shoulder strap, and consisting of a mess of pleats going every which way, and a long messy pleated train. The gown was so awful it was hard to pick out what was worst about that train wreck.

Penelope Cruz won an Oscar wearing a strapless vintage white Balmain gown--it was lovely but looked heavy; it almost overwhelmed her petite frame.

Most Horrible: Model Heidi Klum should have gotten a worst gown Oscar. She wore a horrible mish mash tacky red gown that looked as if the designer were on LSD, with swaths of fabric pasted on at odd angles--showing off her emaciated frame with bony spine and scapula was scary.

Kate Winslet--class act! This Oscar winner was perfectly coiffed and made up; and clad in a softly draped silver blue one shoulder gown, she deserved an Oscar for elegance and perfection too!

Mickey Rourke--cleaned up, with a shampoo and haircut, and dressed in a white suit, he looked swell--Go Mickey! (Wish he'd won something.)

Whoopi Goldberg: Her gown was a flowy leopard print getup that looked like a rayon lingerie item I owned in the 70's--an over the top bathrobe, maybe. It's her hair that bothers me--Whoops, when are you gonna ditch those weaves and dreadlocks? It's passe--but at least her locks didn't look as bad as usual.

Oh I must mention another gown-- One Jessica Biel (who is she?) wore a strapless column dress with fabric folded over the bodice and down the front that looked like a towel slapped over a towel rack. Ugh. Baby, you should let your Mama okay your wardrobe next time.
