I watched this last night and I must say that, overall, it showed a return to the glamour of the past. Most men wore traditional dinner jackets and many of the women's gowns were either vintage, as in Cruz's case, or modelled after a vintage look.
Ms. Bella is absolutely right about Natali Portman: perfection.
I must say that I was impressed with Hugh Jackman's singing and dancing. His attire was impeccible, especially the tails he wore for the production number. Anne Hathaway: lovely, and what a voice.
Daniel Craig doesn't look good in a shawl collar dinner jacket, or at least not that jacket. I think the shawl was too slim for him. I would have gone for peaked, as in "Casino Royale..." He should have worn that jacket. A bit of a let down that James Bond looked odd, in my opinion.
Mickey Rourke... I like Mickey. He was an early influence on my style since "The Pop of Greenich Village." My hair tends to grow up in a pompadour like wave, and I see this in the early Rourke.
I like the way the guy dresses. He has his own style. His high collar stay shirts with the matching pocket squares are totally edgy cool and work for him. He is out there exploring that edge of good taste, usually two or three steps over it, but I like and admire that.
However, it's the Oscars, not dinner in some restaurant in Miami, wear a dinner jacket for heaven's sakes.
Sean Penn looked not only ridiculous and sloppy, but ten years out of vogue. Still, he was gracious and likeable enough, especially with his "I know I make it hard for you all to like me" line. I'll always award points for self-deprecation.
Sure looks like Whoopie gave up. I thought Jessica Biels had too much bow spilling out of the top of her dress, or maybe I was just disappointed that it was covering what I really wanted to see.
Kate Winslet had an intriguing curl at the back of her hair. I thought it was pretty and was unsure how it was achieved. He dad was wearing a fedora... indoors.
