Oscars 2009

Where were the surprise winners? The fashion disasters? The mad speeches? The classic zingers? The answer – to everything in Hollywood lately, it seems – is the writers’ strike. With the Writers Guild Of America forging a pact with Tinseltown studios only two weeks before Oscar day, organisers were fully expecting to lay on the Awards with stars, writers and directors still on the picket line.

Their gameplan? Less fun. More montages. ‘Plan B’ involved endless clip-reels, musical interludes and stand-in presenters. So instead of Halle Berry, we get Seth Rogen pretending to be Halle Berry (not as funny as it sounds). We get John Travolta ‘waltzing’ (not as funny as it sounds). We get a 10-minute educational video on the Academy voting process (even less interesting than it sounds).

No surprise that US TV station ABC apparently told advertisers not to expect high viewing-figures for yesterday’s ceremony.

The actual show wasn’t so bad. Jon Stewart was pretty funny and the speeches were okay. Out of the performances, in my opinion they all sucked except for Amy Adams singing the Happy Working Song.

In terms of the prizes, I think everyone got what they deserved. All the movies were awesome and at the end of the day, I couldn’t even pick which one should win.

I can’t stand the people who are going around complaining that the commercial movies didn’t win. Juno winning best picture? Johnny Depp best actor? If you haven’t seen the other movies, don’t go around saying that they "got robbed". Just because those people might be more famous doesn’t mean they deserve the Oscar.

Chanel and Vera Wang

I would like to know…

I mean, old fashioned names like Adelaide, Iris, Matilda, Henry, Oscar etc. are all making their way back in, why not Fanny!?

It’s a beautiful name, in my opinion.

Because no one wants to be named after a vagina .

not really…i think they are beautiful…what is the likeliness that you or i would leave the house wearing the things they wear ….if they can wear it let them….they have already made a name for themselves in the movie industry….their beauty isn’t the only quality although they make it a HUGE deal at the Oscars….

I find the styles that the stars wear intriguing, although i would almost never wear anything they do

It’s a pretty shade of blue but it is not cute at all.

There are alot of straight men who like fashion, and alot IN fashion like Ralph Lauren and Oscar de la Renta. Do straight men also casually read things like Vogue and such? One of the main staffers in the September Issue film (Charlie Churchwood) seemed extremley 200% straight, and a couple of the other staff members, but it seems as if people only credit the men to being gay that read it or work for a magazine like that.

It Dosent Matter What Other People Think. Its Just The Way We Go To The Extreme And Think To Our Self’s Oh Yea That Is Kind Of Gay. But The Society We Live In Is Just Messed Up. By Ignorant PEople Thinking Its Gay By "Rocking It This Way." But What Can We Do. I Just Keep It Casual And Not To THe Extreme

I really want to be a fashion designer like Marc Jacobs or Oscar de la Renta but I don’t know if I can be that famous…..if I get an education can I make a steady income with out being famous?

As a designer, it will be very hard to make it big (like Marc Jacobs or Oscar de la Renta). Most designers end up selling their wares by themselves or on sites like eBay or Etsy. With the right strategy, you CAN be successful – however, you will need to work very, very hard, offer clothing that is unique and cannot be found elsewhere, and be able to have a good advertising strategy or way of getting word out.

Essentially, it is not impossible, but many independent designers have to support themselves with side jobs in order to maintain a steady income.

what are some fashion quotes that are made big by major fashion designers like Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta, Louie Vuitton, Coco Channel, etc.. quotes like "fashions fade, styles is eternal." "if you are not in fashion, you are nobody." etc… thanks!
