ACADEMY AWARDS 2012 RECAP!

The biggest awards show took place last night at the Nokia Theatre featuring the biggest movies being recognized for outstanding achievement in the film world. Billy Crystal hosted the ceremony for the ninth time. I honestly have to say that I enjoyed watching the Oscars more than the Grammys, even though I hardly watched any of the films!

There were two best moments of the night for me. One was when Octavia Spencer won Best Supporting Actress for The Help, seeing her breakdown upon accepting her award brought tears to my eyes! Also when Meryl Streep won for Best Actress in The Iron Lady. After being nominated for so many times, she finally won her third Oscar. Seeing her officially be recognized for her achievements as an actress for all these years was truly heartwarming, she is such a beautiful woman.

If you missed the show last night, here are a list of the winners and the contenders in every category: http://oscar.go.com/nominees


Who can forget the best dressed of the night?! A trend on the red carpet were the fair colors such as whites, creams, and silvers.


Octavia Spencer looked lovely in a silver sparkly Tadashi Shoji gown.

Viola Davis looked so perfect in an emerald green Vera Wang gown.

Maya Rudolph looked amazing in Johanna Johnson, I love this gown so much!

Emma Stone looked like an Oscar, but red of course in a bow necked Giambattista Valli dress.

Angelina Jolie definitely looked beautiful on the red carpet in a black Versace gown with a high slit, BUT her right leg thrusting out of every picture was not too cute...really, every picture though?

Rooney Mara is just a naturally stunning looking person. She looked so beautiful in a white Givenchy gown straight off the runway.

Jennifer Lopez was my BEST DRESSED OF THE NIGHT! She looked so stunning in this Zuhair Murad gown that fit her body so perfectly and showed off her glow so well.

I love how the creams and whites are making their way onto the red carpet, not only is it fresh but it's just perfect for Spring which is awaiting!

BRIDESMAIDS - Anticipation Failure.

I was seriously anticipating this movie for awhile. Looking at the previews, it looked soo0o0 funny. After two hours of sitting in a theatre yesterday, I can say that I was a bit disappointed.

Bridesmaids is about two best friends named Annie [Kristen Wiig] and Lillian [Maya Rudolph]. Things change dramatically for both of them, when Lillian get engaged. Asking Annie to be her Maid of Honor, she accepts but finds out that planning the day of ultimate love and happiness is harder than she thinks because her life isn't going too well. Annie is in a sex-only relationship, has a job at a jewelry store since her bakery went out of business, and is now losing her best friend. As the days to the wedding get closer, Annie is losing her mind while Lillian's fiance's boss' wife, Helen, is trying to take over the entire planning of the wedding. After causing much havoc and getting kicked out of the bridal party, Annie finds the importance of turning her life around to find her own happiness. She begins baking again, and starts falling for a man who is actually nice to her. While she's finding herself, Lillian and Annie make up in time for Lillian's wedding.

With many ill-humored male dominant comedies out nowadays, I thought this movie would be the answer for females. The previews made the movie out to be some sort of raunchy comedy such as The Hangover and Superbad, but it wasn't at all. Yes, there are some explicit parts, but the story was truly about friendship and finding your own internal happiness. And yes, that is a nice message, but I just feel it was a huge let down. I wish they would've went to Vegas, and let the craziness catch on from there, now that would've been a comedy!!! Oh well, hopefully the sequel, which is in the talks already will push more envelopes that female comedies haven't yet reached to this day.
