I love the set design. Beautiful.
The theme seems to be elegance, which I truly adore.
Be glamorous, be elgant and fabulous if you're a star!

Well, unfortunately, I didn't last long....but Beyonce did look beautiful. I was not remotely impressed by Hillary Swank's dress, though. I didn't see enough of anyone else to pick a favorite.
The back of her gown was astonishingly beautiful, IMO. The front was ... well ... distinctive. That's as charitable as I can be.
Renee Zellweger's gown was gorgeous. So was Halle Berry's and even Gwynneth Paltrow's was nice, IMO. There were a few ugly gowns that I won't mention. Ew!
Johnny Depp ... hmm ... what is the deal with him, these days? Can you say, eccentric? :?

okay, I saw Beyonce's black dress and that's a winner for me.
I thought Renee looked awful....something with the face/hair/make-up just wasn't looking and she looked old to me. Drew Barrymore looked VERY different than she usually does, too. Not used to seeing her so sophisticated, I guess.

I didn't watch the Oscar-cast ( :cry: ) because I was taking my tango class :bouncy: .
But I DID get to see the movie for which Ms. Hillary won her Oscar. I thought she looked incredibly fabulous in her boxing trunks and braided down hair. (I am NOT being facetious.)
Somehow, I'd rather see a woman DOING something significant with her life than watch a woman being merely glamorous. Like my guiding light and patroness saint, Joan of Arc. By all contemporary accounts, she didn't offer much in the glamour department. She didn't have that pretty a face, she chopped her hair off short, and preferred men's battlefield clothing to fancy court-appropriate ball gowns. But that young woman was the youngest general in the history of mankind to lead the army of a nation. She did things no one thought any one could do -- persuaded the king of France to give her an army and marched off to lift the seige of Orleans carrying nothing more than a wooden sword and the banner of St. Michael, and marched into battle without even looking back behind her to see if her army was coming with her or not. She was ready to attack La Tourelle single handedly if she had to. She inspired the confidence of some of the most experienced and seasoned generals in Europe. And she died one of the most heroic and grisly deaths imaginable -- being burned alive.
I'll stack that kind of grit and courage next to a backless beaded gown any day of the week. And I admire Hillary Swank's achievements as an artist far more than her wardrobe. If she can do it, maybe I can, too. After all, Million Dollar Baby WAS all about tango dancing . . . .

Beyonce wore different dresses, as she sang 3 songs. The first one had a very full skirt, about knee length, and that's the one I was referring to at the top of the thread. Next, she wore something ballgownish.
I know it's shallow, but I love the movie-star glamour and the gowns!
This is partly my attraction to ballroom and competing - glamour, gowns,
Ginger Rogers and Greta Garbo and Audrey Hepburn.
Of course, it's Dancing first, gowns second.

Ahh, yes - but isn't that one of the most fantastic things about being a woman? We can have grit and courage and accomplish great things and look fantastic in perfectly glamorous backless beaded gowns.
