So I watched some of the Grammys if only for Gaga, who did not disappoint. I kinda hope Melissa Leo arrives at the Oscars in a womb. Gaga really blows everyone out of the water with her live (what's that?) performances, and managed to do some of her best dancing. It was probably one of her most toned down performances, but keep in mind she did arrive in an egg. I also loved Gwyneth and Cee-lo, that was just too awesome. Nicole Kidman looked AMAZAZAZAZING. I was so suprised she was there, then I realized she wouldn't be at the BAFTAs. Nic was so much classier and above everything else on that tacky red carpet. Speaking of, OMG - does Eva Longoria show up to the opening of an envelope? What is with her? This is not a smart post-divorce move - showing up and being proud that you came with a Kardashian? Geez, your career must really be in the toilet. I didn't watch much else because...
I also had to watch the BAFTAs. I usually feel there is such a disconnect in this ceremony. I'm not sure if it is because it is not live, or maybe it is just a British thing? The pacing of the recorded show is pretty good, and I think they do pretty good clip packages.
Things worth pointing out:
+LOVED Julianne Moore's makeup and hair.
+I wish Jennifer Lawrence hadn't worn that choker as it gave the dress a totally different feel. Somewhere between southern belle and casino hooker? Without it, that cleavage showcase could been really something.
+Kinda loved Hailee Steinfeld's dress.
+Amy Adams wore one of her best dresses ever. I wish she'd hire a stylist as her dresses are usually misses or not complete hits.
+Eva Green - we get it. You're a vamp.
+I'd love Noomi Rapace's dress if it didn't have that dog collar thing around the waist or the zipper.
As for the show..
+Helena Bonham Carter's speech was one of the best of the season. Funny, self depracating, clever and with the right balance of appreciative emotion. Despite I consider her the weakest in a pretty dull category, I can't help but root for her to win the Oscar if only because I know she'll nail the speech.
+I loved seeing Neve Campbell there, she presented with Nicolas Hoult. Campbell hasn't aged a bit, but that dress was too frumpy and not very flattering to her figure.
+I'm not really sure how intentional that banter was between the seemingly confused but gorg Rosamund Pike and the hot as balls Dominic Cooper? But it was cute.
+Tim Burton is a surprisingly good presenter? WOW - Christopher Lee looks bad.
+Tom Hardy wins Rising Star Award over a bunch of hot young actors (Hi, Emma Stone!) who are there. He is not. Damn.
+I love how happy Amy Adams looked everytime the camera cut to her. Andrew Garfield, too.
+Is Kevin Spacey going to show up to every award show this year and act like he is in some 1960's sketch show at all of them?
+The awesomely talented Alfonso Cuaron was part of the Harry Potter salute. I wish he had directed all of them. His installment was by far the best and it was all downhill after it.
+Emma Watson rocking the short hair.
+Gerard Butler - what's with the hair?
+Aaron Johnson is hot but creepy for his director-wife being twice his age.
Oops, my commentary turned into a fashion segment. AGAIN!
