Slumdog Millionaire takes home the prize for Best Picture! Wahoo!!!

Oscar Awards 2009: Best Picture

Ok . . . fingers crossed. Here's the Best Picture.

Oscar Awards 2009: Best Actor

Best Actor goes to Sean Penn for Milk. Great speech!

Oscar Awards 2009: Best Actress

And Best Actress goes to . . . Kate Winslet for The Reader. Kudos!

She singles out Mom and Dad, I love it!

Oscar Awards 2009: Best Actress

Alright, it's a tough category. Let's see what happens. . . Ann Hathaway's breakin' my heart withthose tears in her eyes.

Oscar Awards 2009: Best Director

Best Director goes to Danny Boyle for, all together now, Slumdog Millionaire.

2009 Oscar Awards

Reese Witherspoon looks polished as always. She and Queen Latifah are both in royal blue and black, very popular colors this year apparently. She's one of the better presenters tonight.

Oscar Awards 2009

"I'll be Seeing You in All the Old Familiar Places" is the perfect song choice for Queen Latifah's tribute to stars that passed way this year. More love for the Queen and her effortless voice.

Oscar Awards 2009

Best Song goes to Slumdog Millionaire!

Oscar Awards 2009

This is the best awards broadcast I've ever watched! I love the performances of the Best Song nominees, the Indian dancers have definitely livened up the stage.

Oscar Awards 2009

A. R. Rahman wins Best Score for Slumdog Millionaire! That and Wall-E were my favorites! Slumdog is gaining steam, I'm predicting it will sail in to win Best Picture as well.

Oscar Awards 2009


Best Supporting Actor goes to Heath Ledger. A poignant moment for the Ledger family as they accept on his behalf. The whole audience takes a moment to grieve the passing of a great actor.

Oscar Awards 2009

Hurrah for the Oscars tribute to musicals! Hugh Jackman is the consummate performer and flanked by Beyonce, Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens from High School Musical, Dominic Cooper and Amanda Seyfreid from Mamma Mia he could do no wrong. I was slightly disappointed because I could tell Beyonce was lip-sinking, but I loved the dancers and the layers of song upon song.

I thought I had just witnessed a clip from Moulin Rouge and then they credited Baz Lurhman with the design of the number! Of course!
Best Cinematography goes to Anthony Dodd Mantle for my fav, Slumdog Millionaire.

Oscar Awards 2009

Ben Stiller is the prefect Joaquin Phoenix. Still loving Natalie's dress!

Oscar Awards 2009


Michael O'Conner totally deserved a win for the costumes on The Duchess. They were freakin' fabulous, detail-perfect and generally astounding!

Oscar Awards 2009

Next year they should just have Tina Fey and Steve Martin host the whole show!

Oscar Awards 2009

I'm loving the Tina Fey and Steve Martin chemistry!

Best Adapted Screenplay goes to Simon Beaufoy for Slumdog Millionaire, well-deserved.

Oscar Awards 2009

Tina Fey and Steve Martin . . . the perfect comedic duo! They need to make a movie together.

I hope Wall-E wins!

And Best Screenplay goes to . . . Dustin Lance Black for Milk.
My favorite loses again.

Oscar Awards 2009

Penelope Cruz wins Best Supporting Actress. I wish Viola Davis of Taraji P. Henson had won it, but Penelope Cruz is always amazing and her emotion is truly touching! What a gorgeous acceptance speech to kick it off with. Felicitaciones, Penelope!

Oscar Awards 2009

Taraji P. Henson is glowing!

Oscar Awards 2009

I like the reappearance of past winners to deliver the nominees. It feels really personal. Too bad they didn't give them any dress pointers.

Oscar Awards 2009


Hugh Jackman has to be the most charming man in Hollywood!

Love the the homemade production number!

What? Craigslist dancers? Awesome!!

Wow Anne Hathaway can SING!

So adorable!

Don't worry Hugh, most of America hasn't seen The Reader either.

Oscar Awards 2009

I'm already loving the awards show with a killer set and an orchestra. It looks unlike any Oscar broadcasts in recent memory.

Live on the Red Carpet

Tim Gunn is by far the best Red Carpet host.

Live on the Red Carpet

I adore Meryl Streep as an actress and tonight I can say I love her outfit, too. Her gown is lovely, minimalist and her hair looks perfect! I also love that she brought her daughter as her date.

Live on the Red Carpet

I love seeing lesser known actors like Viola Davis and Taraji P. Henson at such an overblown event like the Oscars!

Live on the Red Carpet

The more I see of Sarah Jessica Parker's dress, the less I like it.

Live on the Red Carpet

Tim Gunn!!!! I love Tim Gunn! Make it work!

Live on the Red Carpet

Alicia Keys looks great! Same color pink as Natalie Portman . . .

Live on the Red Carpet

Robert Downey looks so healthy! Yay him!

Live on the Red Carpet

Beyonce's gown and hair are a disappointment, but Kate Winslet looks stunning as usual.

Live on the Red Carpet

Penelope cruz just upstaged Natalie Portman as the closest Audrey Hepburn look-alike thus far. Her hair cut is vintage Hepburn as is her classy white dress.

Live on the Red Carpet

Is Philip Seymour Hoffman planning on stealing an Oscar? All he'd have to do is cut out eye, nose and mouth holes into his 'cap' to create the perfect costume.

Live on the Red Carpet

Brangelina has arrived . . . By far my two least favorite celebrities.

Live on the Red Carpet



I love Queen Latifah. She is always intelligent, always classy, always gorgeous.

Live on the Red Carpet

Mickey Rourke's love for his dog is sad and beautiful at the same time.

Live on the Red Carpet


O Sophia Loren, who allowed to walk out the house looking the way you do? You have seen better days my friend.

Live on the Red Carpet

Anne Hathaway brought her dad! She's too darn cute.
Does every celebrity has to plug their next project on the red carpet, when we're supposed to be celebrating this year's movies? I mean is anyone really that concerned about Sex and the City 2 tonight?

Live on the Red Carpet


Amy Adams is truly a class act.

Live on the Red Carpet

Natalie Portman is definitely channeling Audrey Hepburn tonight! Her hair is adorable; short and curly. I love the bright pink with her dark hair.
Lots of red dresses this year . . .Amy Adams, Heidi Klum and Amanda Seyfried so far.
Amy Adams looks flawless! She's definitely my favorite so far. Heidi Klum's hair has let me down. I'm not impressed.


Are Dev Patel and Freida Pinto actually a couple? I love it ! I'm surprised they didn't get any acting nods for their performances. Wait, they just said they're not a couple . . . my dreams are crushed.
Forget Zanessa, the kids from Slumdog Millionaire just stole the award for cutest stars! Freida Pinto looks gorgeous as well!
How freakin' cute are Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron? They're like small puppies, you can't help but smile at them!
The entertainment junkie's favorite event of the year: THE OSCARS! Forget the Superbowl, give me the red carpet any day over dancing lizards and stupid commercials.

I'm reading a great new novel; Very Valentine by Adriana Trigiana. She's one of my favorite writers and I'm devouring this latest book. Look for a review coming! Also, tune in Sunday night at 8 p.m. when I'll be live blogging the Oscars! Fingers crossed that Slumdog Millionaire takes home the award for Best Picture.
