So, it was a whole night off from the Sequester and the next fiscal cliff, which is looming … March madness is at hand people and I’m not talking bball!

Oscar night! Uh, I mean Oscar day and night, started at 3pm maybe earlier, as Ryan seacrest and his team from Eonline chat about fashion, trending manicures, hair or makeup and right about then seasoned actor Helen Hunt walks up to be interviewed. While seacrest admires the $7000 jewels acknowledges her movie “Sessions” the question about whose dress are you wearing comes up and as Helen smiles smirks states guess who guess where I got my dress – H&M. It looked like seacrests eyes glaze over and his face goes stony, showing a bit of distaste seemingly dismissing the actor as no real response was made on the dress. It’s not lost on me that Helen got no head to toe shot and was nowhere to be seen on the Red Carpet though her dress seemed to fit she probably will not be on tonight’s list of must see ,something new , economy friendly dressing up .  It seemed as if team seacrest moved on, possibly ignoring the idea, continuing to throw out elite brand names that graced their Red Carpet, sounding like the label mafia so, don’t hold your breath.  I definitely won’t be, but the idea of wearing off the rack clothing is worthy of a shout out in my humble opinion. I missed the intro due to the hour and making dinner was much more important then I tuned in when Waltz was on and twitter seemed delighted, it sounds like the show itself is boring … too much ad-lib a bad sense of humor.  Actually, pre-Oscar interviews suggested Seth McFarlane  was prepared and funny, guess his comedic voice is not being heard very well tonight if at all, could be folks are still debating voting and determining the fashion losers or the guy is just an acquired taste because the one he is leaving tonight is bad.

Honestly, how do you make an awards night like the Oscars more than a formal get together celebrating films in all its forms. It could be time management or lack thereof is the enemy and while the jaws theme was amusing watching someone come out to actually pull an Oscar winner off stage is not that funny amusing or necessary. Award shows like Sports is a good/bad day situation where humans are never a sure thing when it comes to working outside the box or their personal comfort zone. Anyway, the dresses were ok watched for haterator action and there was some for Anne Hathaway and gotta say watching coopers  mom sit in between him and Lawrence was interesting , captain kirk looked like he was snoozing Halle berry looked like a metalic referee  and well, Kirsten Stewart was a hot mess. If you were watching, you know who won… The men looked ok though some just looked greasy.

Seth wrapped up the Oscars with a song, Affleck got his and as we were about to turn it to the E channel until jimmy, ABC announces they are now going to their OTRC after show only to hear Lawrence Zairian giving a big shout out to Helen Hunt and the H&M dress she wore  …loved it!

I have to make a correction … yep, the H&M dress was wrinkled the pin on the back and train … not good. I was excited for off the rack dressing for an awards night … keep trying ladies and i agree … fabric choice is important,though it’s clear Anne Hathaway’s dress was very expensive she made a bad choice in fabric as well.
