Academy Awards - your thoughts?

Was this the year the freakin` women got together and said, "Screw you all, we`re wearing our hair up or back!" or what? Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie, Laura Linney, Kate Hudson, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michelle Yeoh, Winona Ryder, Jennifer Lopez...

My favorite of the bunch: Sarah Jessica Parker. She looked adorable.

Let`s talk about those who didn`t wear their hair up:

Christine Taylor: Mrs. Ben Stiller still looks like Marsha Brady -- and there`s not a dang thing wrong with that in my book.

Joan Allen and Annette Benning: Longer and blonder than we last saw them and looking cute.

Rita Wilson: Consistency doesn`t hurt.

Renee Zellwegger: I`d go for it, if I didn`t know it was a wig.

Hilary Swank: Does anybody like her style? Does she have a style?

Goldie Hawn: Long bangs still really work for her.

Frances McDormand: Actually looked better in the movie than in real life.

Julia Styles: Thanks for looking young.

Ellen Burstyn: The best of the older crowd.

Of course, there are probably about three hours left of the show. So I reserve the right to present an addendum.

Peace

Oh no, that awful Julia Roberts updo again. It may have worked for Audrey Hepburn, but in 2001... well, if it were a wig, it would be a perfect fit for the Elephant Man.
Oh, and a memo to Bjork: Lose the swan, take singing lessons but most of all, buy a comb!

Fashion desaster: Coco Lee (luckily she changed for her performance)...and Rita Ryack at the arrival. Goodness!

bad hair:
Winona Ryder - what a shame!
Julia Roberts - though it was nicely done I prefer her with waves/curls.
Juliette Bienoche - fingerwaves gone horribly wrong.
Hilary Swank - there is a bob of everyone...she got someone else`s in that case...
Ashley Judd - what was she trying? Greek Godess? Failed!
Can`t say I liked Annette Bening`s hair. Colour isn`t too bad, just this dishevelled look doesn`t do much for her.

Stephen Gaghan....what the heck is THAT?

lovely hair:
Penelope Cruz - she presented the Oscar for Costume Design.
Sigourney Weaver - she looked really elegant!


Catherine Zeta-Jones looked plain and dull...not really bad hair, but just plain. Something was missing....

My first thoughts...maybe more later

Also hated Julia Roberts hair...TOOOO big in the back. And I think its too plain around her face. She needs curls or something around her face.(bad dress too, as always)

Catherine Zeta Zones, now she is beautiful enough to wear that look, she looked elegant and regal. I especially like the fact that she looks womanly, not frail & rail thin!

Joan Allen has never looked better, great grow out from The Contender. Dress color was fabulous on her!

Hillary S. & Winona...need some help. Hillary, you were growing it out & it looked good what happened?? Winona, maybe you should stop growing it out.

Too many curls on Kate Hudson, looked better at the Golden Globes. I think Goldie looked fine though, she is comfortable with that look & it suits her fine!! I do not think short hair would flatter her at this point in her life.

Sarah J Parker...dress too short for occasion.
I`m laughing too hard to comment on Bjork.
Oh and finally...I thought Annette Bening looked great with that length, style and color!! It reminds me of how pretty she is with longer hair!!
Just my opinions!

For what its worth, I think that Juliette Binoche and Ashley Judd were going for a 1920s `flapper` look.

Julia, Julia, Julia - yuk, yuk, yuk
Joan Allen - nice
Kate Hudson - trying to take the ugly title from Julia?
Goldie - time for a change
Winona - get a hiarcut!
Halle - ravishing
Ashley J. - grease pit
overall it was very disappointing - not much going on and most was negative.

Julia Julia Julia...can you puh-leese do something *less* creative with the hair? The dress is high class, tho.

Angelina J .. upset you cut it, but at least you still look smashing.

Katie, dear, invest in a good stylist, one without a passion for birds. You looked like an old country gal.

Catherine, classy as use-ual.

Winona..."let it grow, let it grow, let it grow" Luuved the look actually! Long hair looks good on her.

Mad Maximus, what`s the rebel-without-a-cause Grease `do for? Give up the Fonzi look, it`s old.

Marsha Marsha Christine Taylor, lovely lovely. Who made your dress babe?

Best overall look of the night? Renee Z (wowzer dress) and Juliette Benouche (ditto on the flapper look)

Worst overall hair of the night? The Swank and Ashley Judd. Ick!

Best use of originality .. GO BJORK! I like those who are different.

Hey Spunky Girl!

I agree that Renee Z looked fabulous, but her hair really bugged me, for one reason...

She just recently cut it in a chin length bob with bangs, and then she shows up with shoulder length waves????

Had to be extensions or a wig, which just seems like cheating to me.

Other than that, she looked great. Very old-style hollywood glamour.
