My pick for Best Dressed: Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab Couture
Ben Mulroney (He’s a Benedict, not a Benjamin!) and friends took to the red carpet, asking inane questions to pretty people mere minutes before the big show. As per usual, I had (mostly fashion-police) thoughts.*
*Links are provided for those requiring visuals.
- I love the Reitman family. So much. I would work for Jason in a heartbeat. 21-hour days. For free.
- Monique: “My husband’s magical.” Huh. I’ve never thought about looking for a magical husband. But now I want one.
- Suzy Amis looks ill. Walking skeleton. Sadness.
- So much electric blue. It’s EVERYWHERE. Very Avatar-chic.
- Anna Kendrick in Elie Saab. Lovely. My favorite designer of the season.
- Zac Efron. If I were 18…. Sigh. But I don’t know why he’s there. Or why he won’t stop touching his hair.
- Christoph Waltz. He’s so earnest and verbose and impossible to understand. Philosophically nonsensical.
- Sandra Bullock is shiny and statuesque. She makes me happy. And she produces. Note to self: Send her scripts!
- Tim McGraw has a little-boy haircut. Not a compliment.
- Carey Mulligan. Cutest pixie hair ever. Ben Mulroney calls her gown a “glamorous mullet.”
- I like Jake Gyllenhaal. In Burberry. He likes Canadians. Bonus point for me.
- Mariah Carey makes every dress look cheap. I don’t understand this bizarre talent.
- Miley Cyrus. Why? Her third year. For no reason. Dressed like a nominee. Sheesh. STOP TALKING.
- SJP has sculptural hair. And is wearing a Chanel nightgown?!
- Kathryn Bigelow: the director who looks like a movie star. B-E-A-UTIFUL. She’s gonna win. I know it.
- Charlize Theron looks like she’s being groped by cupcakes.
- Stanley Tucci. Nominated for the FIRST time. Crazy. He’s rooting for Streep “a lot a bit.” I want to be his friend.
- Ryan Bingham. (The Crazy Heart songwriter, not the Up In the Air character. Confusing, I know.) He has to win.
- Jeremy Renner and his mama. My heart is warmed. Have you seen The Hurt Locker yet? If Bridges weren’t around, I’d give the statue to Renner. Pretty painfully brilliant.
- Matt Damon is handsomer than usual. If that’s possible. (Watch this!) I’ve had a weakness for that grin (and career) since Good Will Hunting. He was 27 when he won his screenwriting Oscar. I have one year….
- George Clooney…needs a haircut. But is charming. “The power of the sexy far out-trumps the Oscar.”
- Meryl is dignity and class. I want to be her. (In a Chris March design! Please tell me you watch Project Runway.)
- Jeff Bridges and his wife. 33 years. LOVE THEM. Now go win, Mr. Bridges. Because we all love you. Especially because you speak like “the Dude.” So metaphorical and quasi-high.
- Keanu Reeves does not age. It’s because he doesn’t move his face. I want him to stand next to Sandra. Give me a Speed moment!
- Rachel McAdams is in my favorite dress of the season. I almost blogged about her gown yesterday. Before it was hers. (I’m slightly obsessed with Style.com.) Elie Saab Couture for the win!
- For the first time in the history of my life, I am swooning over a sparkly Cameron Diaz dress. Mostly because it reminds me of Reese Witherspoon’s Oscar-winning look.
- J.Lo is wearing sculptural bubble wrap.
- Kate Winslet is elegance personified. I need a British accent.

Seriously. Someday we need to watch TV together.
a) Benedict!? My respect for him just went from 0 to 5. On a scale of 1-500.
b) Mo’nique has an “open marriage” – sooooo, her husband can’t be magical.
c) everything else you said is truth.
Yes, let’s.
a) I know! I’m a solid 7 (same scale of 1-500). He walked by me once, and entered a hard-to-find burrito place around the corner. So he earned 2 points for showing me where to eat.
b) Ew. Ew. Ew. Magic is overrated.
c) *grins*
I think you mean Tim McGraw has a boy haircut. I don’t know a Tom McGraw.
Good catch, Christianne! Tim it is.
Hey, I gotta watch out for my country singers. Thanks
