The pre-buildup pomp and circumstance is over and the 81st Annual Academy Awards is finally underway.
We’re all pulling for Taraji P. Henson to win the Best Supporting Actress Award for her touching portrayal as Queenie, Brad Pitt’s mother in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
In the weeks leading up to the Oscars, Taraji teased us with one fabulous gown after another. We had such high hopes as we waited in anticipation to see what she would wear on this, her biggest night of the year.
As recently as Saturday, Taraji had not decided on the gown she would wear to the Oscars. She admits that she has no sense of style, and sadly it shows.
Taraji also says she relies on her stylist, Sherri Hoke, to tell her what’s “in.” That’s too bad. Because her stylist has no clue what’s in either.
Hoke finally settled on a shrimp-colored strapless uneven tiered dress and a train by Roberto Cavalli. She completed the look with an oversized 19th-century diamond flower necklace by Fred Leighton and a clutch that, ironically, resembles a dollop of shrimp cocktail sauce.

the dress is simple nothing special, but i don’t have a problem with it.
Least she didn’t show up in the mess that beyawnce wore….easily my least fave that i’ve seen thus far.
I give her a pass for her dress because of who she is. I did not like Penolpe’s dress, too over kill wedding dress.
Beyonce’s dress was atrocious too. We’re used to that. But Taraji’s dress had that WTF? factor.
I also don’t like SJP dress, who is she , the good witch glinda from “The Wizard Of Oz”?
Okay seriously like what freaking movie did Penelope actually play in that deserved an Oscar and then my question is what the hell was that about?
Oh Taraji’s dress is alright nothing spectacular but it’s not horrible either. I didn’t say WTF when I saw it

Your baby is a cutie. I am laughing at your comment. I know, what did she do to deserve an Oscar? I think I understood her talking in Spanish more than I understood her English. LOL. Bless her heart.
I was disappointed she didn’t win but she looked decent and classy. What was that get up Beyonce was wearing? She looked thrown together, hair pulled back, no accessories, I know she could’ve done better than that. If you’re gonna show up to a major award show, at least look the part of a nominee/winner.
I am mad at Sean Penn for his speach, He said you “cunning homo son of a guns. what the hell is that. Was it in the movie Milk? I did not see the movie.

I guess I am not allowed an opinoon. I did like Natalie Portmans dress. I did not care for Queen L’s dress or Whoopies. All in all it was a nice show. It was nice to see Eddie give an Oscar to the other(first) Nutty Professor.
I too did think Brad should have won.
Here are some quotes that I found on yahoo.com about Beyonce’s dress that I thought were funny lol..I have no words for it.
“would make for great comforter material. sometimes i really wonder what she is thinking about when she gets dressed. love ya girl, but you have no eye for fashion. the big bad wolf needs to come by the house of dereon and blow it down.”
“The dress reminds me of a lure I like to use when I’m trolling for barracuda.”
“wow. that looks like something Blanche Devereaux would have hangin on her walls from an episode of the Golden Girls. That or it is some left over wallpaper from a cheap Vegas casino….”

I am laughing so hard. Don’t mess with Blanche Dev. She is a pimptrist. Yes since you mentioned it, Bey did look Blanchness. I still love the Golden Girls. I love Sophia’s one liners. “Picture it”..

Thanks Anna and oh my I was lmbao at your “I think I understood her talking in Spanish more than I understood her English. LOL. Bless her heart.” Hah and soon as she walked up to the stage I was like f this shis when is Big Love coming on. I only watched it to see if Taraji would win. I could care less about Be-yawn-ce.
I guess I don’t know fashion but Sarah always annoys me with her facially challenged arse and don’t get me started on Penelope.
Question for Sandra or anyone who could answer did Penelope get an oscar for movie with Scarlet where they kissed?
Beautiful dress, but not flattering on her. The bag is horrible. She needs Halle’s stylist. They KNOW she deserved that Oscar. Robbed. Her Oscar was due way back for that Baby Boy performance with Tyrese. I know they overlook films like that, but that was an Oscar winning performance.
SJP (Sarah Jessica) dress was UGLY and I usually like what she wears NEXT! Same with Penelopes dress was NOT impressed at all. I did NOT care for many dresses last night. From Anne Hathway, Angeline, Kate was not impressed last night at all.
@Anna girl express yourself you have an opinion and 2cents like everybody else.
@2unruly I LOVED Babyboy..lol
Daisy, now THAT was the performance. Every time I think about that movie, I see her totin’ that baby on her hip marching down that sidewalk angry. She was steppin’! LOL
I would like to add that even Halle had an off night was not feeling her dress. Reese also missed the mark last night.
I did like Akeys dress and thought she looked nice.
I will even give B some props for her the dress was ok cause I never like her red carpet choices but last night she didnt bother me to much. I thought she looked nice as well face and hair wise.
@2 Another member and I quoted lines from that movie one day..lol
He dont love me no more..lol
Ya’ll take this too serious, waiting to start sh!t for anything. I never said no one had an opinion, I had one on someones statement and if anyone has a problem with that, then oh well.
Like I said some people dont know fashion.
LOL @Daisy
the girl was good.
I actually liked Taraji’s dress, it was cute to me and looked very nice on her. Now I LOVED Marisa Tomei’s dress. It was edgy and stylish, LOVED it. I liked Anne Hathaway’s dress too.
