Oscar thoughts - Pros

1. Yay 'Slumdog'!

2. I love the 'Slumdog' cast. They were having so much fun. They were in awe of the fact that they were there, and were soaking it all in. I also liked how they were a group. When reporters tried to talk with Dev and Freida, within seconds there would be a kid or two, the guy who played the Regis guy, or somebody else from the cast or crew in the shot with them. And they didn't mind. They wanted the kids front and center, and everyone else was a friend. I want to be their friend, too.

3. Gotta love Hugh Jackman. :)

4. Yay for no speech from the president of the Academy!

5. Ben Stiller did a great new Joaquin. The only thing sad about it was that it represented the new Joaquin.

And clothing time:

1. Taraji P. Henson wins I think. She was very elegant.

2. Kate Winslet - I don't like one shoulder. I say that every year. But the rest of her dress was so pretty that it grew on me, and I can now say she was one of the best dressed.

3. At first I couldn't decide if I liked Jennifer Aniston's dress or not, but I finally decided on yes, but the hair had to go.

4. Natalie Portman looked nice.

5. I'll give Amy Adams credit for the color of her dress.

6. Freida Pinto - I did not like her dress at first. At second or third glance, however, I decided that I like the color, and that it had a bit of an Indian flavor to it. The problem lay in either the sleeve or the strap across her neck. Not sure which.

7. Best modeling on the red carpet, though, definitely goes to the accountants. :)
