Oscar co-hostess Anne Hathaway said “there are very many cool things about this job.  One of them is getting to wear a dress that does this. She shimmied and all her beaded fringe flew around her body.  She said “sorry, personal moment.”

Then the beautiful brunette hostess said “even better is getting to breathe the same air as this next presenter.”  James Franco said “ladies and gentleman Oprah Winfrey.”

Oprah said “after 83 years of Oscars here’s one thing we know for sure.  If we’re feeling lousy, if the news is bad and people are hurting, what do we do?  We go to the movies.  And we escape.”

Oprah continued “but I’m here to present the award to the best movie that did not let us escape.  The Outstanding Documentary Of The Year.  And this was an incredible year for documentaries with so many brilliant filmmakers working in all regions of the globe telling their stories, illuminating the human condition, insights and truths.  Many did this against great odds.  Some are even imprisoned for their efforts but it has never been more important for us to see these stories.  To help us try to make some sense of the world, we live in.”

Oprah said “the nominees for best documentary feature: Exit Through The Gift Shop, Banksy, Gasland, Inside Job, Restrepo and Waste Land.   The winner of the Oscar was Inside Job.

Christian Bale seemed surprised when the gorgeous Reese Witherspoon called his name as the winner of The Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Fighter.

When he made it to the stage he said “bloody hell…wow.  What a room full of talented and inspirational people. And what the hell am I doing here in the midst of you.  It’s such an honor. David O. Russell. What a great spirit. You know, on the set, just, just fantastic.”

He said “thank you so much mate for making the work that all of us actors did actually mean something. You know, I mean, that’s the director’s job of translating it to the audience and making it mean something.  Thank you for that.”

He thanked Pamela and “our editors along with the just incredible work of every actor. Melissa I’m not going to drop the F bomb like she did, I’ve done that plenty, before.  Amy, Jack, Mark…man, you know, the guy who got this whole thing going from the getgo.  Everybody in Lowell.  All the actors from there.  Micky and Dicky.  Where The Quaker?  Is he up there?  Dicky’s up there somewhere.  Dicky stood up.  Hey mate, you’re the best. You’re the best.  I can’t wait.  And listen, he’s had a wonderful story and I can’t wait to see the next chapter of his story, you know?”

He continued “if you want to be a champ, if you want to get trained with him, go meet with him, DickEklund.com. Go do it.  Check him out.  Alright?  OK?  He deserves it.   Our producers…Mark, David, Todd..incredible.   Relativity and Paramount just pushing it out there and letting people know it exists.  So many movies are brilliant but nobody knows about them.”

Mark held up a fist in recognition to Christian for his speech.

He said “so lucky to be here tonight and have people recognize that.  My team lead by Patrick and Boomer and Carlos and Jan and Anna and Julie.  Thank you so much for everything you do.”

Christian said “and of course mostly my wonderful wife – he pointed to her in the audience – he stumbled as he pointed because he seemed to forget her name – then he mumbled that he usually isn’t like this – he said my wonderful wife whose my mast through the storms of life.  I hope I’m likewise to you darling.  And our little girl whose taught me so much more than I’ve ever been able to teach her.  Thank you so much.”

Legendary actor Kirk Douglas presented Best Supporting Actress. He was dapper in a black suit with a crisp white shirt. His hair looked amazing. It’s still a stunning snowy white.

Although felled by a stroke Kirk did a great job of playing off the audience commenting that Hugh Jackman and the people of Australia think he’s funny for some strange reason. He noted that Colin Firth didn’t think he was funny but of course “he’s British.”  Kirk also managed to flirt with Anne Hathaway commenting on how beautiful she is.

After receiving the envelope he pretended to open it a few times before he finally did, putting the nominees on the edge of their seats. Some of them seemed tortured waiting for the envelope to be opened. He also commented that he will always remember the Oscars because he lost three times.

When he finally opened the envelope and announced Melissa Leo as the winner of Best Supporting Actress, she seemed genuinely shocked. As she ran up to the stage the announcer said it was her first Oscar and her second nomination. She was previously nominated for Frozen River.

When she ran up to the stage she bowed to Kirk Douglas and asked the esteemed actor to pinch her. Kirk said “you’re so much more beautiful than you were in the film and she replied “you’re pretty good looking yourself.” (more…)

Giuliana Rancic, Kelly Osbourne and George Kotsiopoulous provided their list of the five stars to watch on the 2011 Academy Awards Red Carpets.  On the list was 43-year-old nominated actress Nicole Kidman.  The Aussie is up for Best Actress for her role in Rabbit Hole!

Nicole didn’t disappoint.  She was absolutely gorgeous in a stunning white strapless Dior gown accented with a rare 19th century diamond Riviere necklace from Fred Leighton.  She showcased her elegant height with Pierre Hardy shoes.

She wore her trademark strawberry blonde naturally curly hair in a sleek ponytail with a hint of soft waves interwoven throughout the length.  Her hair was pulled off her face in order to show off her stunning gown and jewels.  She had just a hint of fringe directed to one side of her face and a pouf at the crown.

The beautiful actress was asked if attending the Oscars was easier because she “already had one Oscar at home.”  Nicole said “um, I don’t know, I think it’s just beautiful to be nominated.  Particularly over the span of a career.”

She continued “You know, to have the chance to come and celebrate like this.  And having been in this industry for awhile now, I know most of the people here.  Which is also really a lovely thing.  But I’ve never been nominated while I’ve been married to Keith.  So this is a first for us.” (more…)

Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson Unveils Messy Undone Hair At 2011 Academy Awards

A blonde tressed Scarlett Johansson appeared on the Red Carpet at the 2011 Academy Awards wearing a gorgeous peek-a-boo Dolce & Gabbana gown with a very low cut back.

The Merlot hued gown material was transparent with strategically placed lace.  Scarlett’s hair was a little more undone than she normally wears it.

Scarlett Johansson At 2011 Academy Awards

The front of her hair was coiffed into a messy wavy bob cascading over the top of her head from a side part.

The back of her hair was pulled into a very messy asymmetrical chignon.

Scarlett’s Red Carpet hairstyle was very different from her traditional style which is more often than not infused with ringlets, waves or sleek twists.

She is obviously pushing boundaries with her hair and gown.  The  26-year-old actress wore Anna Hu studs and a ring.  She rocked sexy Christian Louboutin shoes which worked in perfect harmony with her gown.

Although Scarlett met up with Jeremy Renner on the Red Carpet she arrived with a mystery man as her date!

Scarlett was a presenter and presented the award for Best Sound Mixing and Best Sound Editing awards.

Amy Adams made the rounds of the Red carpet with finance Darren Le Gallo.  Her 2011 Oscar dress is a midnight blue fully sequined L’Wren Scott gown that Amy is “absolutely in love with”.

The 36 year old actress stopped by to chat with Ryan Seacrest on her way into the theater.  Besides her midnight blue gown, Amy was wearing $1.35 million of Cartier emerald and diamond jewelry.

Ryan Seacrest said that Amy whispered in his ear that for the very first time she’s nervous.  The actress who is nominated for a Best Supporting Oscar for her role in The Fighter told Seacrest “I’m really nervous. I think I’m more present than I’ve ever been before so I’m really able to take it in. And I’m really understanding what a big deal it is.”

When asked where she pulled the feistiness from for the role in The Fighter she laughed and said “it’s not that hard for me to pull the feistiness.”  And the right hook?  Laughing she said “that I had to practice.  I practiced that a little bit, but it’s in there.  I’ve got some boxing in me.”

In some of the kissing scenes Amy confessed that Mark Wahlberg was directed to make the kissing really sloppy. Amy said “they wanted him to appear hungry and passionate and lusty. (more…)

Oscar Nominee for Best Support Actress for the film, The Fighter, Melissa Leo, was Ryan Seacrest’s third Red Carpet Interview of the evening.

The E announcer said “congratulations.” Melissa Leo said “thank you so much it’s delightful to be here.”

Melissa was wearing her highlighted light chocolate brown hair parted from the center with soft straight hair panels cascading down on either side of her face.  Extending at the back of her head was a beautifully finished updo with a slight pouf at the crown section of her head.

Seacrest told Melissa her gown which was gorgeous.  Melissa’s gown had a deep plunging neckline and cap sleeves.  It was indeed reflective.

The E announcer teased Melissa and said he could see himself in the gown, which he described as “golden and reflective.”  Melissa laughed and said “yes, it’s like a house of mirrors.”  She explained “it’s a Marc Bouwer (floral applique dress) that he built especially for me.”

(more…)

A fresh faced and obviously nervous 18 year old Josh Hutcherson, an Oscar Nominee for the film, The Kids Are All Right, was the second interview of the night for Ryan Seacrest on E’s Red Carpet show.

Ryan told Josh he could see his heart pounding and asked if he was nervous.  Josh said “there’s helicopters (the media) and a blimp, I don’t how your heart wouldn’t be pounding.”  Ryan agreed there’s lots of excitement on the Red Carpet.

When Ryan asked Josh what the advantages are to having two moms – like in the movie – The Kids Are All Right – Josh said “if you have any smudges on your face they get licked off quickly and you get your dinners twice as fast.”  He played a son to Annette Benning and Julianne Moore who portrayed married lesbians.

Josh said having two moms is “not all positives, but it’s good.”   Ryan asked Josh if being just 18 and being nominated for an Oscar was exciting and a tremendous experience.  Josh agreed that it was.

Who was Josh most excited about seeing at the Oscar’s?  Josh said he is a huge fan of Christian Bale after seeing him in The Fighter and was very impressed with the first 60 seconds of the film.   Josh noted that Bale’s role was very intense and he just blow it away.

E’s Ryan Seacrest kicked his Live From The Red Carpet show off with a big bang by first interviewing a gorgeous Jennifer Lawrence wearing a stunning skin tight orange Calvin Klein gown which showed off her spectacular figure.

Jennifer wore her luscious long blonde hair cascading down around the low cut gown in soft barely-there waves.  She looked fresh and polished.

Ryan pointed out that “no one covers the excitement and glamour on the red carpet like E.”  Indeed he’s right on that front.  He gets some of the most spectacular interviews.  Ryan also mentioned that there is a rumor that there will be a Twilight moment on the Red Carpet later in the evening but he has not confirmed these rumors as of yet.

Jennifer Lawrence is a nominee for Winter Bone.  Ryan told her the young actress she was going to be a hit with the Fashion Police in her gorgeous gown which she said was custom made for her by a designer at Calvin Klein.

When asked what it feels like to be a newbie at the Oscars Jennifer said “as a newbie I think it’s pretty overwhelming but it’s a proud moment.” (more…)

1.  Natalie Portman – It’s her second nomination for an Oscars.  All eyes will be on the mother-to-be who has won huge kudos for her many amazing looks on all the 2011 Red Carpets.  Natalie has been wearing a lot of Tiffany jewelry and looking gorgeous.

2.  Reese Witherspoon – She returns to the Oscars as a presenter.  It is her first visit to the Academy Awards since 2009.  Will she bring her brand new finance with her to the Red Carpet?  And will she go glam or more simple?  She hasn’t been to the Oscars in awhile so the E fashion commenters hope she will go with a gorgeous glam dress.

3.  Helena Bonham Carter – It has been reported she did not hire a stylist for the Academy Awards and the fashion police are waiting to see what she will wear.   The nominated British star, wore differently colored shoes at the 2011 Golden Globes.  Kelly Osbourne loves Helena Bonham Carter and George gets her eccentric personality but Guiliana did not agree with Kelly about her unusual fashion looks.

5.  Nicole Kiddman – She has had some incredible looks for the 2011 Red Carpet Season.  She’s back with her A Game.  She is wowing on the Red Carpets.   A big question about Nicole is will she showcase her natural curls or wear them smooth and straight or pulled up?
