Oscars 2014 Fashion and Fun!

Well I am back blogger world after being hit with several sick spells missing so many award shows I vowed I had to be on my game for the one awards show that matters the most..THE OSCARS!!! So am back to give you this Jam packed blog with your complete list of winners, my best and worst dressed and some AMAZING after party fashion so buckle your seat belts and lets get started!! First for anyone who could not stay up until 12am Here is the FULL list of winners from last night! BEST PICTURE 12 Years a Slave BEST ACTOR Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club) BEST ACTRESS Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine) BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club) BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS Lupita Nyong'o (12 Years a Slave) BEST DIRECTOR Alfonso CuarĂ³n (Gravity) BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY John Ridley (12 Years a Slave) BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY Spike Jonze (Her) BEST FOREIGN FILM Italy, The Great Beauty BEST DOCUMENTARY FEATURE 20 Feet from Stardom BEST ANIMATED FEATURE Frozen FILM EDITING Gravity BEST SONG Let It Go (Frozen) BEST ORIGINAL SCORE Steven Price (Gravity) BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY Emmanuel Lubezki (Gravity) COSTUME DESIGN The Great Gatsby Now on to the FUN stuff the Fashion! OK last night I was impressed I usually give 5 best and 5 worst dressed but yesterday it was off the charts and since I missed other award shows Today I am just posting all my standouts and trust me there were A LOT! so lets get started with the ever fashionable men :) First I have to start off with my boyfriend Bradley Cooper. Drool he looked so yummy.. but when does he ever NOT look yummy *sigh* He can do no wrong with me. Ever. He gets 2 pics because well he is easy on the eyes :) Excuse me I am going to wipe the pile of drool that is now on the floor...
.. And I am back. Next on my list we have Jared Leto if anyone can pull off the long hair look and have it look sexy and put together he can. I loved his tux. When he won for best supporting actor he gave an amazing speech made me love him even more
Next the best actor winner Matthew Mconaughey. Alright, Alright, Alright Hotness alert! Like his co star in Dallas Buyers Club Matthew decided to go with a white tux. Now let me say not many people can pull this off but he did it with class and style. Camilla is one lucky lady!
Channing Tatum. Yes I know we are all thinking about that extremely toned body we all saw in Magic Mike right now.. but lets focus on how wonderful he also looks in a suit :)
Now I don't think I can have a hot men list without including Brad Pitt. I have to be honest over the last little while I wasn't really feeling him I felt he was slipping in the looks department but yesterday at the Oscars he was reborn! Brad you are back!
Next Leonardo Dicaprio. Even though I adore Matthew I REALLY was hoping Leo would win the Oscar for best actor. Poor guy. I wished that was the shocker for the night. But he was a trooper about it and I think it will push him to work harder and next year Leo it will be your year.. You heard it here first!! HE won the Oscar in my books for most swoon worthy :)
I would like to end with the cutie patuti mega producer Dana Brunetti. He was looking 50 Shades of awesome in this tux with the red bow tie, and can I just say him and Kristin Chenoweth SUPER ADORBS! I think they are my new favorite couple.. Seriously :)
OK now lets got off of cloud nine of hot men and focus on our ladies!!! Here are my pics for Best Dressed of the night OK I have to start off with Lupita Nyong'o. Girl has been working it this awards season!!! Someone clone her stylist and give it to all the ladies of Hollywood. I think we would then finally eliminate a worst dressed list.. Seriously she was like a fairy last night in her soft blue Prada gown. She never lets the dress wear her she wears the dress. And she won for best supporting actress and gave the best speech ever!!!
Next Cate Blanchett. This newly noted Oscar winner dazzled in this Giorgio Armani Gown. She rocked the dress and made a huge statement.
One of the hosts of the E! Red Carpet is Giuliana Rancic and I usually like her outfits for awards shows but nothing really to get her on my best dressed.. until last night!! Her dress was so elegant and it was from a new and upcoming designer Adelaide label Paolo and she looked so beautiful in it!!
Lets move on to the super adorable Kristin Chenoweth. I adored her Roberto Cavali dress it hugged her perfectly. Gold winner in my books and you just want to pick her up and put her in your pocket that is how cute she is :)
Next the host Ellen's Hunny Portia de Rossi in Naeem Khan. We all know Ellen must have been proud to show off her stunning wife in this dress. This dress is something not everyone can pull off but Portia worked it like it was no ones business!
Angelina Jolie in Saint Laurent. Do we need to say more....
*wipes brow* I told you there are a lot of best dressed today...Before we go on lets break to look at the best selfie ever from last night... look who just happens to be right in the front :) he actually took the photo. My heart is melting
OK OK I am composed..One of the beautiful ladies that is in the selfie above is the always awesome Jennifer Lawrence. I am such a huge fan cause she is just so real she is us. She shows us how normal "celebrities" really are. She freaks out when she meets someone famous and just always keeps it real.. she sure did that in this Beautiful Dior gown. Way to rock red sister!!!
Another Jennifer I LOVED last night was Ben Affleck's wife Jennifer Garner in Oscar de la Renta. This is one of my top favorites of the night Loved it, Loved it, Loved it!! Way to represent 20's fashion!
Moving on we have to talk about Kate Hudson and how AMAZING she looked last night in Versace(wait till you see the after party outfit). It is real easy to get lost in a dress like hers but she had people buzzing last night and was one of the most talked about.. Can you blame them??
Charlize Theron she could have come wearing a garbage bag to the Oscars and she probably would have ended up on the best dressed list. She is so beautiful that it hurts. I loved this Dior gown. Charlize you are perfect.
This next lovely lady almost passed me by. That is because I didn't recognize her with Brown hair!!! Margo Robbie looked like a Wolf of Wall Street gem in this Yves St. Laurent stunner... and girl I love the dark hair on you!!!
America's sweetheart Sandra Bullock looked like she could defy Gravity in this beautiful Alexander McQueen Dress.. and did anyone else see how beautiful her hair was. That is what we all strive for. I need to know what she is using Stat!
Finally Someone was bringing Sexy back with this Chanel gown. That's right I am talking about Mrs Timberlake herself Jessica Biel. Can we all just say Justin is a very lucky guy :)
Now from the so very high to the very low. Yes it is that time for the Worst dressed of the night. Don't worry there are not a lot and it was actually hard for me to pick who I picked. Again I love all these ladies and Worst could not just mean the dress was horrid it could also mean I don't think it was the right pick for them. My first choice is an example of that Amy Adams in Gucci couture. Now hold off thinking that I am completely out of my mind with this one. Some thought Amy was on their best dressed but I don't know it just did nothing for me or for her. It was plain and I expected her to kind of step out of the box and impress us. The dress to me is just meh and it wasn't even dressed up with some sparkly jewels. Amy I will be watching you hopefully you can impress me another time!
Next my friend here on the worst dressed list Anne Hathaway... BUT spoiler alert she does redeem herself at the after party. I will post a pic of that later. But for now the Gucci dress she wore on the red carpet... Oh Anne another halter dress another ending up on my worst dressed.
Anna Kendrick missed the note in this J Mendel dress. Just no. It is way too busy and just swallowing her whole.
Ohh Julie Delpy. This Jenny Packham dress was not the right choice for you at all.
Next we have Sally Hawkins and another example of drowning in your dress which is what is happening here. Just terrible
Last but not least we have the lovely Julia Roberts... only her dress wasn't that lovely the lace in the middle just ruined it and looked misplaced. If that was removed the dress would have gone to a whole new level and prob would have ended up on my best dressed. I am cutting Julia some slack though given the recent loss of her half sister.
Before we move on to the After Parties I have to make a mention of one more gown for best dressed and that would be PINK. She sang somewhere over the rainbow amazing in a ruby red Elie Saab haute couture gown and she was beyond amazing.
OK OK lets move on to the fun!! After the Oscars is the Oscars After Parties and there are TONS going on I thought I would show some of the awesome fashion from the Vanity Fair Party and Elton John's Party Lets start with Vanity Fair! Rita Ora
Told you Anne redeemed herself!!
Jennifer is 2 for 2 I am in love with this dress!!!
