A Lack of Surprises...and Sandy!

Last night’s 82nd Annual Academy Awards did not offer a lot of surprises – congrats, Jeff Bridges, Christoph Waltz, and Mo’Nique! – but they did make a winner out of Sandra Bullock.

And that made me sooo happy for our “Sandy.” Yeah...I’m jumping on that wagon.

The actress was on a roll over the weekend, first continuing her winning awards season streak by showing up to receive a Razzie Award (for Worst Female Performance for her turn in All About Steve) on Saturday, and second by picking up her Oscar, natch.

That’s the spirit, right!

The Hurt Locker was named Best Picture at the Academy Awards, and its helmer, Kathryn Bigelow, made history by becoming the first woman to walk away with the Best Director award.

As for the evening’s fashion – it definitely was one of the best red carpets in recent years. It was consistently glam.

And can I just say Demi Moore looked fan-tas-tic in that gorgeous Atelier Versace dress of hers? She easily was the best dressed presenter, followed closely by a good-enough-to-drink Cameron Diaz in an Oscar de la Renta that reminded me of a tall, cool glass of Champagne.

As for the nominees, you can’t overlook Bullock’s Marchesa, obviously, or how beautifully and confidently Gabourey Sidibe rocked the carpet in her Marchesa. Meryl Streep, Chris March does you justice like no one else. Keep using him.

Even the men managed to make tuxedos look fresh, mostly because they themselves were fresh on the carpet here’s to looking at you, Ryan Reynolds and Sam Worthington. (And hey, Jake Gyllenhaal, I adore your hair like that.)
