Even though I felt somewhat unpreprared/uninformed about the nominees this year (I've seen the majority of the nominated films, but I felt hugely out-of-the-loop not having seen The Artist), I was overall rather satisfied with the winners. Having been blown away by Michelle Williams performance in My Week with Marilyn, I was hoping for her to walk away with her own golden man, but Meryl was also amazing in The Iron Lady, so it's all good.
A few highlights for me were, of course, the return of Billy Crystal (best host of our time), Ellen's commercials for JCPenney (ancient Rome = favorite), Emma Stone presenting with Ben Stiller (I feel like Emma and I are friends; is that weird?), and, finally, the Cirque du Soliel performance (my eyes didn't know where to look; I realized at the end I had been holding my breath the entire time; I adored every second).
The final highlight was, of course, the dresses! Here are a few of my favorites:
Michelle Williams
Milla Jovovich
Emma Stone
Tina Fey
Penelope Cruz
Stacy Kiebler
Jessica Chastain
Angelina Jolie (and her leg?)
Ah, I adore the magic of the movies.
