GWYNETH PALTROW in Christian Lacroix. For what it's worth I got this from the Oscar.com website... and that's how they spell it there

Did anyone else notice that Ian McKellan's mouth almost dropped open when he didn't win?
I was soooo rooting for him! Oh well.

Also, Russell Crowe looked STUNNED. And bewildered. JMO

Dahli, I didn't object to the size or shape of Gwyneth's boobies. I totally hated her dress. Of course if she had used good posture, and there hadn't been fold after fold of fabric drawn across her body, maybe I wouldn't have hated the dress as much... No, I hated the dress. I understand the gossamer sheer blouses or dress tops are in fashion, as long as they are not tight and have a good drape. A lot of the stars are wearing them with faded, holey, sometimes ragged, hip hugging jeans.

The really sorry thing is that someone must have said "Oh Gwyneth, that dress looks beautiful on you" for her to want to wear it. Ick!!

Yes Urgrace, it had nothing to do with her breasts. The dress was not for her figure or maybe even anyone. Just not attractive.

The dress I thought was over the top butt-ugly was that thang Jennifer Connelly had on. It looked like something that used to be on a mummy! I was really expecting her to look like a few million bucks -- she's such a gorgeous girl. Come to think of it, she looked skinny enough to BE a mummy. And one more thing...the color of that linen bandage wrap (someone said "light phlegm") washed her out to the point where her skin sort of took on a mummy-like hue. I was disappointed. Definitely an opportunity missed for Ms. Connelly.

Dahli, I didn't object to the size or shape of Gwyneth's boobies either. I also didn't like the dress. It just seemed that she had a tube sports bra on underneath. It didn't fit properly. I remember when she won best actress for Shakespeare in Love. She looked beautiful. Her hair was up and she looked very regal.

I think that even if she hadn't been slouching over, the whole sports bra effect would have still looked the same.

ok here are my thoughts:)
Jennifer Lopez, DIDNT like the hair! The dress, not too excited about that either.
Julia Roberts, I have always loved. Her acting and her personality. She was truly happy for Denzel winning and i believe thats why she said, "i love my life". She probably thought that Denzel wasnt going to win and Russell Crowe(who didnt deserve to win anyway) would win. I am soooooo happy Denzel won and I think its long overdue.
Gwyneth P looked horrible. Enough said. :)

Anyone catch the bruise on Ethan Hawk's face? That was a little odd...
Uma looked good, but there was much spillage there.

I thought Sharon Stone looked stunning, nice hair as well.

Any time I've seen Halle's husband in an interview, he's always mentioning that he gave his stamp of approval for the love scene, which is a little annoying to me, but whatever..I guess they're always asking the questions, but why make such a big deal out of it? I haven't seen the movie, so I'm not sure what the extent of the scene was.

FYI Ryan O'Neal said that his health is fine on Good Morning America.

Julia (who I like) did seem a little to invested in Denzel's win, but I heard she campaigned for him. In an interview Denzel said, smiling, "Julia's crazy. She was really happy for me. I think she was happier than I was."

I don't like Russell Crowe and I love Denzel, but I couldn't help feeling a lil' sorry for Russell. Apparently he did an awesome job and worked really hard. Ron Howard said that he carried the movie. SO I could understand his disappointment.

Bottom line all of the actors nominated had awesome performances.

oh yeah...I noticed the bruise. I think it was a carry over from the movie(smile). It look liked he just walked out of the film clip and took his seat.

Zenya, I've not seen Monster's Ball, but I've heard that there is pretty explicit nudity in the movie -- and/or sexual content. Maybe it was a rather "Sliver-like" sex scene, I don't know.

I saw it and it was very explicit... not in bad taste though, it was very important for the storyline/movie to be included... JMO

She was incredible in the movie!

That is good to know, Moon. I can watch tasteful, I think.

I can't wait until I'm done with coursework and I can watch these movies. I'm gonna take 2 months and watch all of the movies I've missed since I've been in graduate school for the last four years.

I wouldn't call it tasteful (hard to explain... good taste as in good for the movie... important to the movie)... it is VERY explicit... beware:)

Russel may have queered himslef for ever being recoginzed in Hollywood. He has been arrogant and dismissive of the press to put it politley.

He said that he wanted to be in a Beautiful Mind so Ron Howard could get an award for best director. Dont think it can get any more self absorbed than that.

He is also comsumed with putting the press down. Curious at best.

I don't like him even dismissing the above info.

He's very arrogant, and a bit of a chunkster. Didn't he win for Gladiator anyway?

Aww now yoyu all stop hatingo n Russy The Aussie. I liked glatiator and dispite his having a major bad boy attitude he does do good acting.

I think he also knows just how tinsle town works. He's already won an oscar, so he can pretty much write his own ticket. So he can say what he wants and it doesn't really hurt his rep any because he's the "Bad boy".

Don't worry when they STOP calling him or the public just gets too darn sick of him to see his movies then he'll shape up. Hey look at Sean Penn :)

Yes, I agree about Sean Penn MsSil. Its really hard to shake the bad boy/girl image once the label has been pasted on.

I loved Gladiator and I think Russell Crowe is a really good actor. I don't find him personally attractive, though, not my type.

It WAS rather arrogant for him to say the reason he took the part in A Beautiful Mind was so Ron Howard could have a shot at an Oscar. (I heard that too, Fruitbat)

Moral of the story: be careful what you ask for, you might just get it!
