Fall Favorites: Oscar Season!

Although it's sad to see summer come to an end, Jenny and I are trying to see the bright side of the fall season that is upon us. One thing I love about September - January is that most of the Oscar nominated films are released into theaters. It sounds like the film getting the most buzz so far is 12 Years a Slave staring a talented cast of newcomers alongside seasoned vets like Brad Pitt. The preview looks great, check it out.

What are you looking forward to about fall? We'll be continuing this series for the next couple of months.

Post-Oscar's Monday Morning Recap

Did you watch the Oscars last night? What did you think? I wasn't crazy about Seth MacFarlane as the host, I hope they can convince Amy Poehler and Tina Fey to do it next year. Loved seeing Argo win, what a great movie. Also, how cute are Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner?

What were your favorite dresses? I loved Nicole Kidman's whole look, Amy Adams' crazy princess dress and Kerry Washington's bejeweled number.

PS. Did you see Bradley Cooper brought his mom, Gloria, and she wore sneakers?? So cute.

Oscar Fever!

Did you catch the Academy Awards last night? What were your favorite moments of the show?

I loved seeing both of the Best Supporting Actor awards presented. Octavia Spencer had me tearing up when she won for her fabulous performance in The Help. Then Christopher Plummer got Best Supporting Actor for his role in Beginners at age 82, the oldest ever to receive the award. If you haven't seen Beginners yet, I'd highly recommend it, one of my favorite movies I've seen as of late.

Who did you think was best dressed? I loved Jessica Chastain's look, her hair is so gorgeous. 

Gwyneth also looked amazing! It was cute hearing her talk about getting ready with Cameron Diaz in her red carpet interview.

Loved the color of Viola Davis' dress

How adorable is Best Actor winner Jean Dujardin?

This was a funny moment between Emma Stone and Jonah Hill, plus Brad and Angie are looking fabulous as always in the fore-screen.

Check out the winner for Best Animated Short Film, The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore on YouTube, it's worth a watch. 

PS. Apparently Angie's right leg has it's own Twitter account already. :)

Awards Season is Finally Here!

I'll admit it, I wait with baited breath each year for awards season to start. I try to see as many of the nominated films as I can before things get started and totally enjoy watching my favorite actors on the red carpet. The dresses! The speeches! The awkward live faces!

Did you tune in last night for the Golden Globes? What did you think? I definitely need to see 'The Artist' and 'Hugo' still, they both look magical. My favorite dress by far was Emma Stone's, love that dark purple color (my bridesmaids dresses were a similar shade). I also got a kick out of her red carpet interview in which she divulged that she made "a lot of websites as a kid" (nerds unite!).






Which dresses did you like? Did you think 'The Decedents' deserved the big prize?

PS. Tina Fey creeping behind Amy Poehler. Love them.
