with the exception of Viola and Jessica, it was YAWN. Cate is sorely missed.
xtinkerbellax 27th-Feb-2012 04:39 am (UTC)
Cate's Oscar dress was my favorite last awards season.
la_sikka 27th-Feb-2012 04:43 am (UTC)
she brings it consistently to every award show and every film festival.
trikc 27th-Feb-2012 06:57 am (UTC)
agreed. That dress ties for first place, all time, for me with Michelle Williams in Vera wang at the 2006 oscars.
icangoforthat 27th-Feb-2012 04:40 am (UTC)
YASSS!! She would have owned the red carpet. + Tilda and Charlize

loony_moony 27th-Feb-2012 04:48 am (UTC)
Cate's Oscar dresses=the best Oscar dresses
lidahbidah 27th-Feb-2012 04:53 am (UTC)
So much truth.
davendons_desk 27th-Feb-2012 04:55 am (UTC)
Ia. Queen Blanchett has incredible style. Remember that dress she wore to the oscars, I think it was in 1999? The one with the sheer back, and embroidered flowers and butterflies? SO PRETTTYYYYY!!!
maeir 27th-Feb-2012 05:01 am (UTC)
Cate the Great is always amazing on the red carpet but I like rooney mara's givenchy hc gown this year too
beatlesluv 27th-Feb-2012 05:17 am (UTC)
IA!! Although I really enjoyed Rooney Mara's look
365reasonswhy 27th-Feb-2012 05:20 am (UTC)
truth

She is always a standout.
lovejoydiver 27th-Feb-2012 05:27 am (UTC)
i liked gwyneth and rose's dresses too, but ia, tilda's snub hurts even more now seeing these lackluster dresses.
thesegoto11 27th-Feb-2012 05:29 am (UTC)
iasfm

Queen Cate is always missed. Her style is drool-worthy.
kimberwyn 27th-Feb-2012 05:46 am (UTC)
She would've pulled off a gown like Jesssica Chastain's so much better.
happypekpek 27th-Feb-2012 04:36 am (UTC)

tankmachine 27th-Feb-2012 04:36 am (UTC)
fuckin pissed that Viola lost

i doubt she'll ever get nominated again :\
jacomus 27th-Feb-2012 04:39 am (UTC)
If it wasn't Meryl, it would have been her. I think she deserves recognition and success, and she should have won Best Supporting for Doubt lbr.
trasheddiamonds 27th-Feb-2012 04:39 am (UTC)
ita!
active3minutes 27th-Feb-2012 04:48 am (UTC)
she owned doubt, still mad about that

whitegirlmob 27th-Feb-2012 04:51 am (UTC)
That performance was gripping and it took her all of five mins.
beatlesluv 27th-Feb-2012 05:18 am (UTC)
MTE. But of course the academy couldn't recognize a black woman playing a powerful role, so they threw her some kibbles and nominated her for a basic movie she happened to shine in - playing a MAID
poisoned_summer 27th-Feb-2012 04:42 am (UTC)
idk y ppl keep saying this. she was good in the help but not oscar worthy
abcdlovelife 27th-Feb-2012 04:42 am (UTC)
same :/ hoping someone will cast her in an amazing film this year so she can be nominated again next year
alexander_kc 27th-Feb-2012 04:43 am (UTC)
Why do you doubt she'll be nominated again? Viola is pretty consistently critically acclaimed. I would be shocked if she doesn't get nominated again.
emesieremonde 27th-Feb-2012 04:43 am (UTC)
naw the woman just started a production studio and she's young enough. she'll be back....and next time not playing a mammy
the_wolski 27th-Feb-2012 04:43 am (UTC)
no she will

but winning this oscar would have been great for her career and would have given her so much more clout in her choice of films and roles
matchitehew 27th-Feb-2012 04:49 am (UTC)
Same. I wanted Viola to win so badly. Her performance in The Help was amazing. Her time will come. If Meryl wasn't nominated, that oscar would have been hers.
whitegirlmob 27th-Feb-2012 04:51 am (UTC)
What makes you think she won't be nominated again? This is her second nod.
crash31 27th-Feb-2012 04:58 am (UTC)
LOL Don't be so dramatic, it wasn't her first nomination and it definitely won't be her last.
phnix_daft_mode 27th-Feb-2012 05:00 am (UTC)
Yeah this
I'm happy that there is a good chance that will be nominated again though.
brokenbeauty08 27th-Feb-2012 05:07 am (UTC)
It's been 10 years since a black actress has won for Best Actress. I'm getting antsy.
lovejoydiver 27th-Feb-2012 05:30 am (UTC)
well she's been talking about making a film adaptation of fences for a while now, and she already won the tony for that, so hopefully this nomination will finally get her enough clout to get that made.
alizeein 27th-Feb-2012 05:30 am (UTC)
whatever Meryl deserved it too... and I think she will get nominated again
ladyserenity84 27th-Feb-2012 05:53 am (UTC)
I really hope she does. :( Though I would've rather her won for Doubt rather than The Help.
chantonii 27th-Feb-2012 08:46 am (UTC)
Aw :(

I'm kind of glad that she didn't win for the fucking Help, but still :(
qween_tartii 27th-Feb-2012 10:11 am (UTC)
nah she'll get her consolation Oscar next time she phones in anything even halfway decent. its how the Academy works.
honeyhi 27th-Feb-2012 12:40 pm (UTC)
she will def get nominated again

honestly i wanted her to win cause i love her, and based on her whole career she deserves it and i want her to succeed. but the help is not on oscar worthy movie, viola made the best of her role tho. idk i feel like everyone on here was like "I hate the help, but i want her to win anyway" idk i think everyone loved the idea of viola winning + another black woman winning best actress. hopefully she wins in a role that isn't driven by her race.
zeldafitzgerald 27th-Feb-2012 05:26 pm (UTC)
The thing that I find upsetting by the whole thing is that it feels like they gave it to Meryl because, like she said, it'll probably be the last time she's up there. If they had just given it to her in 2009 instead of Sandra Bullock, they wouldn't have this problem.

Don't get me wrong, I think Meryl is a terrific actor, obviously. But when you're Meryl playing Thatcher, it's obviously going to be an outstanding performance. The amazing thing about Viola's performance is that she wasn't a household name and she took a shit role and absolutely KILLED it. Yeah, I think Meryl is the greatest actor of our time but even she couldn't save Mamma Mia.
underworld 1st-Mar-2012 06:00 am (UTC)
imo she was better in Extremely Loud than in The Help
ecctv 27th-Feb-2012 04:37 am (UTC)
THANK YOU for this post!! Hopefully this can cut down on a zillion arrival pic posts.

No one really wowed me tonight, Angelina's leg is not cute. But Wendi McLendon-Covey and Kristen Wiig are cute
ms_mmelissa 27th-Feb-2012 05:09 am (UTC)
That Angelina leg thing was so awkward. I love that Jim Rash struck that same awkward pose when he accepted his award.
westamp 27th-Feb-2012 05:21 am (UTC)
That was such an attn hog move to make. Show some class and respect Angie. Not everything should be about you.

It's a hard colour to pull off, she does it well
letmypidgeonsgo 27th-Feb-2012 04:51 am (UTC)
Yes! She's my #1!
crash31 27th-Feb-2012 04:59 am (UTC)
I feel like at every award show, every year, there is someone w. this dress (or something VERY similar) just in a different color
prettyfoot 27th-Feb-2012 05:08 am (UTC)
Is that dress by Rami?
emofordino 27th-Feb-2012 05:33 am (UTC)
every time i see her on tv or at an award show, all i can think about how she used to be a tv show host for this news/current events program that played during homeroom at my jr high called "channel 1". and now she's famous!

that dress is gorg on her though. that color is so flattering with her skin tone, i am so jealous.
kimberwyn 27th-Feb-2012 05:49 am (UTC)
love the color!
kamoteatmani 27th-Feb-2012 02:11 pm (UTC)

Glen Close looked like a flawless queen

Glenn is a goddess irfl

All Glen has to do is show up. She doesn't have to work at being fabulous. Her and Tilda

kimberwyn 27th-Feb-2012 05:53 am (UTC)
I thought she looks better than she usually did cause she actually looked like she wanted to be there, but those pale legs lol.

It's amazing and looks so good with her hair.
winegums 27th-Feb-2012 02:51 pm (UTC)
All I can feel is relief that she finally wore a dress that did justice to her gorgeousness and her stylist did not cock it up.
