I do not watch award shows.
I do not like them, Sam I Am. I do not like red carpet spam, I do not like them in a dress, I do not care who wins best actress. I do not like them, Sam I Am.
Shelli Stevens and Emma Petersen and Karen Erickson kicked me into watching the Oscars last night, where I was depressed by how skinny and pretty everyone was. Most of the time I was bored, but I didn’t whine about my mid-show boredom as much as Emma, so I felt good about myself a little.
Anyway, here are examples of people prettier than I will ever be, wearing dresses I could never afford, and smiling so wide and bright you know they have serious dental work and that their faces literally ached before they’d made it up the red carpet. Maybe that’s mean to say, but it made me feel good about myself a little more. Yes, I’m mean and petty.
How does this relate to my writing? I’m not sure yet, but some ideas have sparked here. I’ll keep you posted. I do often model characters after actor, so enjoy!
Maggie Gyllenhaal looked awesome, as usual. Of course, her brother is a bit more droolworthy for me–Brokeback or no Brokeback.
Long Live The Queen! As a half-Brit (not to be confused with half-wit)I was totally stoked when Helen Mirren won.
Awww…aren’t they cute?
And here’s my wee snark. Love Reese Witherspoon’s dress, but what was up with the hair? It dwarfed her and she looked kinda bobble-head doll-ish.

You loved every minute of it! Or not. It was a little boring. OMG Reese looked so great, I wanna be her when I grow up. Just the not so skinny Reese, how she was before the divorce.
Man… I’m such a Hollywood watcher.

I know you are. And YOU loved every minute of it. I was drooling and semi-comatose before it ended.

I watched it too and enjoyed it. It had it’s boring parts of course….as always…but I think Ellen did a job and I loved the singing.

The singing was priceless! Very funny this year.

I liked Reese’s dress. I loved the fade to purple. She’s a leeetle bit too much like a swizzle stick these days, though.

I watched the ‘buy this ‘interpretation dress” on Good Morning America the next morning. Reese’s bracelet (the only jewelry she wore) was worth $1million. Oy.
The dress doesn’t look nearly as nice in this photo as it did on the runway, I think.
None of the Interpretation Dresses were fantastic enough for me to drop $300 on them, either.
