Glam at Rebecca Lane - Animal print for our Red CarpetThe 2012 awards season wrapped up Sunday night with the Red Carpet/Academy Awards "Oscar" presentation at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles.
Chick and I hosted our annual Red Carpet/Oscar viewing party with a wonderful assortment of food and drink.
Here is a recap of my Oscar Highlights:
1. Welcome back, Billy Crystal. The show didn't seem to drag (too bad) and your schtick is still funny. Come back again next year!
2. Best dressed: Penelope Cruz in Armani Privé. She had the style and beauty of old Hollywood's Grace Kelly in a beautiful shade of smokey lavender. Second best dressed goes to Tina Fey in Carolina Herrera with Platinum Bulgari earrings to completed the look. Third best dressed goes to Gwyneth Paltrow's stark white form fitting Tom Ford gown and cape (totally cutting edge); she wore a wide diamond cuff on her wrist and a huge diamond ring, but no earrings. Truly a breathtaking look (would expect nothing more from Ford).
3. A special round of applause to Portland, Oregon's own Esperanza Spaulding's “In Memoriam” tribute to stars who passed in 2011/12. Her beautiful rendition of the classic Louis Armstrong song “What a Wonderful World” was my favorite moment of the night.
4. Congratulations to Meryl Strep who in my opinion came out of no where to take home the best actress Oscar. I thought that Michelle Williams (Golden Globe) or Viola Davis (SAG) would snag this year's award...apparently, Academy voters had the final say.
5. Kudos to Moi for planning (yet again) an Oscar menu that was out of this world (Wolfgang Puck...eat your heart out). Our Red Carpet appetizers were wonderfully light followed by the star of the night (Sweet and Sour Meatballs) and a tender and juicy (baked chicken).
Enjoy!
