Maybe it’s just because I’ve been in a crazy good mood lately, but I can’t find a single catty thing to say about this here awards show fashion.  For example, I just told you about how much I hate lady tuxes, but little Kirsten Dunst up there is the cutest thing I ever did see.  And just yesterday I mentioned how I don’t find Gerard Butler all that attractive, but I’ll be damned if he’s not looking pretty nice in his suit here.  Even Chloe Sevigny, who is never not a hot mess, looks all right. Something magical is in the air, everyone, so take advantage of it.

Update: Ok, so I went through the pictures again, and Jessica Alba looks pretty dumb.  It just goes to show you that nothing in this world is entirely perfect.  Thanks, Jess.

Seriously, all this ridiculousness better be because everybody’s going to go all out at the Oscars.  I’m about over the mediocrity and the trashiness of this year’s award season.

By the way, in case you care about the actual awards, Natalie Portman won Best Actress again, and James Franco won Best Actor for 127 Hours, which I hope is a good sign for the Oscars. I just love that stoner so much.  You can check out the rest of the winners here, but let’s go ahead and jump into the gallery.

This gallery includes photos of Natalie Portman continuing on her janked maternity tour, Nicole Kidman with whatever’s left of her face, a bunch of attractive dudes, Melissa Leo, who can’t do anything wrong (I didn’t see The Fighter, but I can talk about her work on the 90′s crime drama Homicide: Life on the Street for days), and a bonus picture of Rosario Dawson grabbing Paul Rudd’s junk.  How’s that for a start to your Sunday morning?

But beautiful faces.  Seriously, I almost cried when I saw this picture of Michelle Williams.  I don’t care for the dress so much, but ugh, her lovely face makes up for everything.

Peruse the gallery to see Emma Stone and Amy Adams looking nearly unrecognizable, a kouple (ha) of the Kardashian sisters looking trashy, Mila Kunis rocking the fuck out of a pretty ok dress, Mandy Moore surprising me by wearing my favorite dress of the bunch, and so much more.  Also, if you’re into tuxes or, you know, beautiful men, there’s Ryan Gosling and Jon Hamm infiltrating your computer screens with their sheer suavity.  Justin Bieber makes a surprise appearance with a dumb mustache.  There’s truly something for everyone here.

Oh, and do you guys care about the actual awards at all?  If so, then …

(more…)

So far they just have pics of the “tv personalities” up so I will leave the massive gown post to Beet or Wendie. In the meantime, here are some red carpet pics from last nights Pre-Oscar Dinner at Chateau Marmont. 

Angie Harmon = Gorilla Shoulders. ‘Nuff said. 

Jaime King = Shiny does not equal formal. This looks like one of Blanche Devereaux’ sexy time ensembles. Your hair looks very lush and nourished though. 

Debra Messing = Not everyone is blessed in the mammary region, which is fine, but in the space of one outfit you’ve taken away your waist and given yourself cankles thus making yourself a          rectangle in black tutu. Not good. 

Julianne Moore = Just Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. 

Although Dita Von Teese is giving magnificent face I think I will have to award best overall to Camilla Belle and her prodigious brows. Dita ruined it with the velvet shower curtain thing she’s wearing. 

Everyone’s been talking about this leaked Oscar Letter that supposedly lists all the winners. The Academy has completely denied the authenticity of the document, and claims that no such letter exists because letters are never sent to the Academy officers prior to the awards. Of course, if it were real, the only course of action for them to take is total denial…so we shall see. I’m usually more interested in the dresses than the actual awards, but I think Kate’s time has come. She’s recently announced that she will never show her glorious Mommy Body in the nude again. Everyone knows you gotta show the teats (or play some sort of conflicted monster) to get that Oscar gold and she did both this year.

If you’re planning on placing any bets there’s still time to make it to the bookie.

The Independent Spirit Awards are taking place today in Santa Monica. I give credit to Mickey for making it out after the tragic death of the only living creature that would never deny having made out with him. Unlike that pin-up wannabe Evan Rachel Wood, Loki was LOYAL. 

Side note: WTF did Mary Kate stuff into the shoulders of her shapeless sack dress??
