The Oscars 2010 best dressed

Old friends and followers will know the Oscars are my favourite night of the year. I love the glitz, the glamour and the frocks. I sometimes even pay attention to the winners (though I have to admit this year I’d barely seen anything that was nominated because the last thing I saw at the cinema was Sherlock Holmes).

Aaaaaanyway, onto the dresses. I used to do loads of predictions and wishlists when I was at CQ and I continued that over at The Nod, listing the frocks I’d like to see and the people I’d like to see them on. This year I managed to get five dress predictions right. I think that’s a record. I didn’t get the associated people spot-on, but you can never truly guess that. Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Lopez, Zoe Saldana, Charlize Theron and Lea Michele all wore dresses I’d predicted. With varied success. People have likened JLo’s dress to bubblewrap, but I loved it. Charlize, meanwhile, took all the good bits of her Dior Couture dress and ditched them in favour of a boob-rose, shiny prom dress nightmare. Ouch.

My best dressed of the night was easy. Cameron Diaz is so likeable, but she does have a tendency to look a right mess sometimes, and all I want to do is give her a hairbrush. That said, when she pulls it out of the bag, she really pulls it out of the bag…with a bit of help from Oscar de la Renta!

Gorgeous!
