Oscar Worthy

March 5th, 2010

Considering how the Oscars are my equivalent of the Superbowl, I’ve done a pretty sorry job at seeing the majority of the nominated films this year.   I’m all caught up on “Glee,” “Biggest Loser” and every episode of “Barefoot Contessa,” but I just haven’t been motivated to trade my comfy couch and surround sound for sticky floors and chattering neighbors at the theater.  I still plan on recording hours of pre-show festivities to ogle at the gowns and over-the-top hair styles, all washed down with some pink champagne and greasy hors d’oeuvres.

    Yes! Can’t wait for the Oscars’ red carpet moments! I’m def looking forward to seeing what Penelope Cruz and Sandra Bullock are wearing this year. Here’s what I would wear if I could walk that infamous carpet!

    Nine looks incredible and I haven’t even seen it yet! I watched the Oprah special on it too. Now I just have to wait for OnDemand. An Education was great too.
    But how can you live in LA and not go to some parties!?

    Ugh, me too, le sigh. I don’t know what to do unless I plan to lock myself indoors tmrw and watch all 10 for the best picture category alone. What’s a busy girl to do?

    I totally agree with you that the oscars are equivalent to the super bowl. i could care less about sports, but when it comes to what the celebrities wear on the red carpet i’m totally there. =D

    I love that photo!

  • http://www.winksmilestyle.blogspot.com Josie

    Love that picture. Unfortunately, I’ve been so busy at school that I haven’t seen most of the films this year either — but of course I can’t wait for red carpet… And now that midterms are finally over, I can actually watch!

    Hello, I am just watching the first season of The Hills again (addicting) and I spotted you behind the desk in one of the first scenes! I looked it up and apparently you had a job there, I’m so proud of myself for recognizing you and I was so surprised! Awesome :)

    Oh I love Glee. Much to my boyfriends frustration I too hate going to the cinema! It’s so uncomfortable and I have a terrible habit of falling asleep during films! :D So thats why I rather watch them from my bed or my couch! I did mange to get to see The Hurt Locker which I thought was pretty good, and am doing my yearly outing to the cinema tonight to see Alice In Wonderland! U gotta love Tim Burton and Johnny Depp! When films get to hyped up like Avatar for example I just lose all interest in going to see them! I like to go against the grain! Haha! (“,) xx

    Okay, so I’m glad I am not the only one addicted to Glee!. Emily you are such an inspiration. I look forward to reading your blogs daily – it’s my lunchbreak obsession. In fact you have inspired me so much, that I have created my own blog. Thanks for helping me find an outlet!!

    This sounds like so much fun! I just wish that I was in the same time zone :) Glee is my favourite at the moment… and I haven’t had a chance to watch most of these movies either. I did love Avatar though. Have fun!

    I love your comparison to the superbowl, its so true! Getting caught up on shows and trying to get work done during the week is always hard, happy oscar weekend & enjoy all that ‘ogling’ !!

    You love fashion, but haven’t seen An Education? How terrible! It comes out on DVD March 31, so be sure to catch it!

    My fiance and I are doing our last Oscar-nominated rounds today – we’re seeing Precious.

    Enjoy the awards!

    I’m really excited about the Oscar’s also! Other than curious to see who will finally win the awards after all the speculations, etc. I have to admit that my favorite part is the red carpet — hence my blog posting for today! (see below) :)

    I don’t think I watched a single one of the nominated films, but I definitely tuned in for the red carpet fashion…and the heinousness that was Kathy Ireland’s interviewing prowess.
