My favorites were Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman, and Kirsten Dunst. I thought all three of them looked beautiful. And Hugh Jackman looked fantastic. 
So far I haven’t seen any comments about Peter Owen (best makeup, “Lord of the Rings”). Was I the only one who thought the fringe tux was horrible?
Yes, that coat looked hideous, like he’d killed a bunch of shaggy dogs and worn their pelts as a suit.
But at least Elijah Wood looked great.

I thought Renee Zellweger’s dress was awesome. She looked extremely classy. If only her face didn’t look like she had soaked it in olive oil. Super Shiny face + Soft smooth looking rest of skin = really odd looking. And Reese Witherspoon was HOT last night.
Whoooo, thanks for the link for the *Sally Kirkland * disaster. Now I know what material to order my coffin liner in if I ever died in a clown car accident at Carnival. Egads…she looks like an aged porn star trying for a (snicker) come back.
Was it just me or did anyone else notice **Sandra Bullock ** nipples when she was presenting. What the hell was she doing there presenting? When was her last hit?
**Reese Witherspoon ** has apparently had the ever popular Jay Leno chin implant done.
**Robert Redford ** looks like he has had some plastic surgery.
**Faith Hill ** pic makes her look like she is wearing the Fairy Costume top of a tutu.
Cripes, **Gloria Stuart ** was there…and looking very healthy too, I might add. So much for my **Dead Pool 2002 Nominee **
Random comments:
I love you, Eve.
I thought Kate Winslet, Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon looked absolutely perfect. Neither went freaky-deaky with the make-up, they kept things natural, classy, and beautiful.
Magdalene’s “Hide your shame!” is the funniest thing I’ve heard in ages.
I think Jennifer Connelly is extraordinarily beautiful. Look how amazing she is in this picture. But that dress was scary and horribly unflattering. She’s still extraordinarily beautiful, but I wish she would consult with me before she dressed for these things.
Gwyneth’s punk/goth thing was disturbing. Not just because you saw her bubbies (remember J.Lo last year in the Chanel gown), but because they desperately needed some sort of support. I’m all for flat-chested power, but the bubbies were looking sickly and lopsided.
I’m not so sure about Julia Robert’s dress. I was all like, underarms? Especially when you think about that whole scandal involving pictures of her hairy pits a few years ago. (Oh, the horror. I know those pictures rocked my foundation to its core.) Anyway, she certainly pulled it off, but still…underarms?
The worst part about Faith Hill’s dress is that it’s Versace! Donatella, babe, if you’re reading this, call me.
I’m actually quite surprised at some of People Magazine’s choices for Best and Worst Dressed. Nicole Kidman in Worst Dressed? Halle Berry not in Best Dressed? scratches head To be honest, I disagreed with the majority of People’s Best Dressed list - many of the dresses were nice, but definitely not amongst the nicest of the night.
I think the winner of the worst dress derby had to be Jennifer Connolly …ack, did my spelling chip go on the fritz?
Anyway, the dress was horrid, the color was vomitous, and the fit was wretched. Perfectly, unrelievedly dreadful.
That was my beef with alot of the dresses, starting a few years ago with Gwynnie’s pink number: fit. The nicest dress on earth looks drecky if it doesn’t fit properly…and the dresses riding so low, loose and droopy made me feel like I had to pull MY top up.
Example of a PERFECTLY fitted dress: Renee Zellweger’s.
And Sara: I thought J.L.'s Chanel last year was exquisite. I get the impression that many people just object to visible breasts… I don’t think it automatically disqualifies a dress from being beautiful and elegant, depending on how it’s done.
I’m about as fashion-ignorant as they come, but even I noticed something had gone horribly wrong with Gwyneth Paltrow’s dress. But I’ve got to wonder what was going on when they sold it to her. Who goes into a place saying “I want something that makes me look gray, leathery, and sagging.” If she’d been wearing chicken legs she would’ve been a dead ringer for the Baba Yaga.
Can I be the only one who immediately thought of sitting on a porch sweating in a ribbed tank top when Gwyneth appeared?
I don’t usually find Gwyneth Paltrow very attractive, and I expected to be shocked when I followed the link.
But I thought she looks kind of cute. Like someone’s punk-rock girlfriend. I like her little bubbies.
That was Nicole Kidman’s sister, Antonia Kidman-Hawley.
And didn’t they look awesome, the both of them?!
As for Jennifer Connelly, I thought she looked cute… you don’t need to wear backless, sheer gowns to look pretty, and she proved it.
Reese Witherspoon was gorgeous and witty, as always. She is a veritable goddess 
Jean-Luc Picard: Hundreds of years ago, humans were a barbaric, savage people who cared whether or not nipples were visible. But we evolved. Now, Earth is a paradise with no violence, no poverty, and people can see the occasional nipple without giggling like schoolgirls. And when I say giggling like schoolgirls, I mean the ancient, barbaric, savage schoolgirls of centuries ago, not the enlightened, non-giggling schoolgirls of our 24th century. I mean, like, just the other day, counselor Troi dropped her datapad on the bridge and when she bent over to pick it up I could swear I could see part of her left nipple, and did I giggle? Of course not. We’re enlightened in the 24th century. I didn’t even notice. I wasn’t the least bit distracted. I would bet she does that on purpose. Who designed that uniform of hers, anyway? Are we supposed to believe that Star Fleet has a special uniform design just for counselors? She must’ve … ahem … I mean … um … enlightened. Yes. Enlightened in the 24th century. That’s what we are. We humans are so enlightened now, you can’t stop us from being enlightened. Just try and see. You can’t. … um … I mean … Engage!
Damn it!
Why do so many people care what others wear to these things!? I NEVER understood this! This thread is disgustingly popular, and I see no reason why it should be. You think Qwyneth looks bad wearing whatever it is she wore!? DON’T WEAR IT! To mock a person for their taste in cloths is like mocking anyone’s personal tastes. Can’t you respect other peoples likes and dislikes… or will you forever be prejudice over what a person wears?
What’s the deal with “in’s and out’s”. It’s like a game people play. You know, my taste may change over the years, but I will NEVER look at pictures of me in my youth and say, “OH my GAWD, I CAN’T believe I really WORE that… I looked like a FREAK!” Because how I dress is about me, and not what other’s say is out of style. IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE that a woman on “Elimidate” gets mocked by the other three women competitors because anything she’s wearing is “Out of Style”. Like the guy they’re ‘competing’ for is going to say: “Look I gotta dump you… that handbag is 2 years out of style, and… I just gatta dump you.” And no, I don’t watch the show, I have SEEN it… but don’t watch.
Hey, when I was in 7th grade, these two kids I had never talked to before just single me out of a crowd and spent the whole damn year terrorizing me for wearing Dockers or dress pants, instead of Jean’s. Then in 9th grade… whole new school… I see those same ass f… wearing Dockers.
Maybe these people you mock are trendsetters. Do you think people 60 years ago wouldn’t think what we wear now is strange and maybe silly!?
Yeah ** MyFootzzz**
I’m really amused by all these remarks.
But I think the whole industry is hoping for that.
and
**KarlGrenze ** I know the “just rolled out of bed” hairstyle is passè. [there’s this 80ties/90ties haistyle now. Ack]
I still liked it on Diaz though.
In fact; I hate “just coming from the hairdresser” look.
I say:
“Why do so many people care what others wear to these things!? I NEVER understood this! This thread is disgustingly popular, and I see no reason why it should be.”
But that isn’t true really… I think talking about it, saying you didn’t OR did like something is cool. So not all or most of the posters on here did that. It’s just when people get that attitude, “what was she thinking.” She was thinking different then you! Doesn’t mean she’s a bad person for it. It doesn’t hurt you to look at them.
Yet, I hear so many colorful insults, (not many on this board, but I could list a few), it makes me wonder why people are looking to celebs to do everything THEY THINK is right other than worrying about their own lives and let celebs take care of themselves.
käse is right… it sells I guess
In reference to my post that schizophrenia is not related to being a “retard”: (Sorry, I can’t get this to quote the whole thing and it is too early to futz wit it)
Just fighting ignorance. The Academy awarded Best Picture to a sensitive portrayal of a person with a serious and difficult to understand mental illness. Given that, the Academy doesn’t look too ignorant.
Back to the dresses: Gotta vote with PunditLisa et al about Cameron Diaz–that was one ugly dress, and the hair made it worse.
I checked my video of the awards to see Sharon Stone’s dress again. On second viewing, I wasn’t crazy about the bodice, but the back–fabulous.
Okay, minor itty bitty hijack here.
[tactless hat ON]
I seem to recall that Ms. Mills was in an accident that wound up costing her part if not all of a leg. Apparently, they have come a LONG WAY, baby, in prosthetics… I couldn’t even tell. In fact, I was looking at the pic, thinking ‘that can’t be Heather Mills- isn’t she missing a leg?’ Wow. Kudos to whomever is out there making such fabulous prosthetics.
[tactless hat OFF]
-BK
yep. MyFootsZZZ it sells.
and luckily the ladies all have different tastes, otherwise just one poor designer would be rich.
Still voting for Diaz. Woohoo.
Whose? Your own?
No, they awarded the Best Picture award to a movie with a “retard”. The Academy is unreasonably infatuated with movies about mental illness (“retard movies”). I use the term (which I damn well know is un-PC and likely to offend fluffy-puffy therapist types) because I think the Academy’s position in this regard is silly.
This year was tough for them; they had two nominations with retards in them. I wonder if they flipped a coin.
While I wouldn’t quite use the same words you do, KellyM, I tend to agree with the sentiment.
When a prominent actors plays a physically/mentally challenged character, I call it “Oscar Bait”.
