The Academy Awards are tomorrow night and, like last year, I've not seen most of the nominated movies. Because I'll have no knowledge of acting, writing or directing quality, I'll have to focus on a topic wide open to opinions based on sheer gut reaction -- the fashions!
Criticizing celebrity style -- or lack thereof -- brings out the inner Joan Rivers in all of us. I'm not talking about the fashion A-listers. We expect them to wow us with their couture.
I'm talking about those who make us wonder if they have a...whaddya call it?....oh yeah...a mirror in their Hollywood mansion. How many times did your mother stop you in your date night tracks by asking "You're not going out looking like that, are you?" A warning delivered by mothers around the planet. There's probably a mother in Oceania scrutinizing her daughter's outfit even as we speak -- well, actually read, but you get my point.
Many celebs consult stylists. They have people who dress them, do their hair and makeup. Does a stylist need actual training or just have to know their way around Rodeo Drive? While most of us would drool for someone to pamper us like that, I think we'd draw the proverbial line at looking like a Clown College alum.
I've no idea who'll be wearing something jaw droppingly awful on the red carpet. But I'm sure there'll be someone who will do for the Oscars what Lady Gaga did for the Grammy's.
