Oscar
The red carpet has rolled out, the nominees and wannabees are strolling in, all smiles glancing to the left and then the right. Right now it’s all about “WHO” are you wearing? Rooney in Givenchy doesn’t do it for me, although I love her looks, I don’t think the dress flatters her. Viola in Vera Wang, Tina Fey in Herrara, it’s the night to vote on talent and praise the stylists.
However, what I really want to blog about is who I think should win an Academy Award and who probably will. A couple hours from now, I’ll know how I sco
BEST ACTOR: Jean Dujardin will probably win. Brad Pitt should win because he put all his skills into making the character natural and believable.
BEST ACTRESS : Viola Davis seems to have edged out Meryl Streep in the last couple of weeks but I think it’s still a toss-up. Glen Close was outstanding in the difficult role of Albert Nobbs and she should win, but won’t.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Christopher Plummer will win and I think so too. He is “due” .
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: What a tough race! Every nominee was fantastic in their roles. If Viola Davis doesn’t win Best Actress, then the Academy may pick Octavia Spencer. However, I think Janet McTeer will win and I pick her also. Melissa McCarthy was unbelievable – really can’t imagine playing her role.
BEST DIRECTOR: It is a rare year when the Best Director and the Best Movie are not one and the same. For that reason I think Michel Hazanavicious will win. However, you can’t discount Martin Scorcese. I think Woody Allen should win.
BEST PICTURE: The Artist will win because it is novel, an homage to the silent film era and it’s an intellectual choice everyone can feel good about. The only nominated film I didn’t see was Tree of Life. My pick is The Help primarily because the others weren’t BEST.
Personal Footnotes: Berenice Bejo is beautiful.
Demian Bechir is really good looking.
Michele Williams channeled Marilyn.
Watching Hugo stoned makes it better.

Meryl Streep looked gorgeous in gold. Compliments her skin tone. And it was great to see Viola Davis go sort of natural (afro), but I don’t think red is her natural color.
Yes finally Meryl Streep was wearing something that was flattering to her figure and coloring. Viola’s gown was stunning however you are right about the color. Some reporter at one point last night said, “dyed”. And I definitely did not get the look of Rooney’s gown.
