But, did you know that it is equally as important to what you wear to the event!
We already knew how successful these movie writers/producers/directors and stars are, but you can't truly know until they're on the Red Carpet.
While the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has been celebrating film's best and brightest for more than 80 years, the glamor we associate with the Oscars truly started in the 1950s. Since then, the red carpet has been a can't miss highlight of the evening. Hollywood's hottest stars work with a number of people a.k.a. their "glam squad" in hopes they will go down in fashion history!
Do you actually know how much these hollywood hotties are spending on to look on just that one evening? Thousands of dollars, sometimes even millions! Honestly, what recesion? People in the world are starving and homeless and Natalie Portman wears $25,000 hair pins! I mean, really? Has the simplicity of an award show meant to honor films and those who are involved in them, gone to something extreme?
Every year they have EXTENSIVE coverage of fashion at these award shows. Every year I sit there and wonder why they pay these "experts" millions to stand in front of the camera and say next to nothing. "Those ruffles look fabulous" ect... Fashion is a large industry and should be exposed, but I really dont think they need some person explaining obvious features of dresses and using their rather limited vocabulary to tell us why they are beautiful. Not so much...
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it seem that the Oscar's are becomming just a fashion show, not a movie awards ceremony? They have entire shows that are devoted to what celebrities where. The Oscar's are almost an advertisement for companies like "Dior" "Armani" and "Versacci". It is something that couldn't interest me less. It is supposed to be about the movies, not the clothes. Argh!
