Academy Award Atrocities

What on god's green earth is Diablo Cody wearing? I realize she was a stripper in another life (literally) - but must she continue to utilize her exotic wardrobe in this lifetime? I fear for the big cats in Africa - might be a shortage of them by now, after all the awards shows she's attended in such fine feline attire.
This is an intelligent, witty, up-and-coming writer who penned the Oscar winning screenplay for the movie "Juno"! What was she thinking?

And below, here's another winner. Literally.
Tilda Swinton dressed in a gothy velvet obscenity apparently designed for the one-armed man from 'The Fugitive'. And let's not stop there. The Best Supporting Actress (for 'Michael Clayton') has on not one apparent stitch of makeup on that ghostly white visage, no hairstylist to speak of (looks like Carrot Top's sister), and just what is that metal hand shackle-like band on her arm? Looks like she just broke out of Rikers! (after stealing the sheets and dying them black). Making matters worse is her leg sticking out like a kickstand, probably to help prop up the obviously unadorned, lightweight left side so the weighted-down, toga-influenced right side doesn't topple her over. What a mess.

Seriously, many warmhearted congrats go out to these two, but hey -now that you are Oscar winners, how about hiring a real stylist, ok? Not your second cousin on your dad's side - the one who's blind in one eye and can't get dressed alone in the morning.
I'm so glad this is the last time I have to look at these two - they've been unbelieveably badly dressed at every award show I have had the opportunity to catch this season. Tilda actually looked worse at the BAFTAs - where she won also - but I cannot bring myself to put that picture on this blog. My computer might implode.


** CONGRATS TO ALL THE OSCAR WINNERS, in particular anyone associated with 'No Country For Old Men' - the Best Picture of 2007. The book (by Cormac McCarthy) was awesome - highly recommended - and I cannot wait to see the movie - it's at the top of my Netflix queue anxiously awaiting its delivery to my house when the film comes out on DVD March 11th! ***
