SAG Awards Fashion Hits and Misses

There was a LOT of colour at the SAG Awards. Thank goodness. It made things so much more interesting than the Golden Globes red carpet.

First, I'll let you take in....this.

I don't understand what Kevin McHale was going for here, but I don't think he quite got it. It looks like Dracula Couture. He looks like he's thinking about biting someone.

2013 Golden Globes Fashion - Hits and Misses

Award season is upon us! I felt like there weren't as many TV stars at the Golden Globes this year. Maybe that's because Glee wasn't nominated for anything, so there weren't forty eight bright young things parading down the red carpet. I don't know.

What I do know is that I really, really hope this photo was capturing Ben Affleck about to breakdance in an attempt to distract everyone from the fact that he and his wife, Jennifer Garner, ACTUALLY WALKED THE RED CARPET TOGETHER.

While Ben gets his groove on, let's jump straight into the fashion, shall we?

Oscars 2012 Fashion Hits and Misses

Well. After lacklustre fashion at the Golden Globes, I am quite pleased with the range of colour and style on the red carpet. Which is obviously why they have the Oscars: to please me, of course.

So. Let's check out the fashion!

But first please enjoy Jean Dujardin making a funny face.

2012 SAG Awards - Fashion Hits and Misses

I did not realise how close the SAG Awards were to the Golden Globes, so thank goodness Twitter alerted me to the red carpet arrivals that had just started. Otherwise I would totally have forgotten to pour over the images last night.

I suspect Rose Byrne may also want to forget everything about this look.

Rose, the 1970s called. Even they don’t want this look back.

I bet Anna Wintour is fuming and throwing three thousand dollar couch cushions around in her office at Vogue because of Rose’s copycat bob.

Golden Globes Fashion Hits and Misses

Yay, award season is here! And what better way to kick off the Boredom Abounds By Julia fashion hits and misses posts with the award ceremony where celebrities get drunk on camera. Woot!

It was so kind of Madame Tussauds to loan out their Angeline Jolie wax figure for the evening.

She really adds to the formality of the occasion with her "Bitch, please" expression, no?
(That being said, she does look FIERCE. I love the pops of red)

2011 ARIA Awards Fashion - Hits and Misses

Did anyone even bother to watch the ARIAs the whole way through? I sure didn't. But I obsessively checked and refreshed the red carpet photos a LOT because if there's one thing I know, it's that music award shows bring the crazy fashion out. This year didn't disappoint.

I'm willing to bet 99% of the people in the crowds watching the arrivals didn't realise this was actor Noah Taylor and instead thought it was some guy dressed as a homeless man from the 1970s.

2011 Emmy Award Fashion Hits and Misses

Woo, the Emmy Awards! I always think of it as the start of award season, although it's kind of all on its own in September, and it feels like ages until the SAGs, Golden Globes and Oscars. Maybe it's because it means the year is on its way to coming to a close, so before you know it we'll be anticipating the February/March awards.

Anyway, let's get stuck into it.

It gets better than this, I promise. Mostly.

2011 Logie Awards Fashion Update

Well, the Logies came and went and I admit I didn't watch one second of it. I find it to be a total snooze fest. But usually the fashion is either really nice or really bad. This year, I found it to be relatively blah. 

Still, let's hand out some fashion awards, shall we?

Ash Williams can help us, since he has so much bronzer on his face he actually LOOKS like a Logie. BTW, is it just me, or does everyone else find him totally unappealing in every single way?

Oscars 2011 Fashion Round Up

Where was all the crazy this year? I have to hand it to the ladies of Hollywood - they mostly pulled it off this year in the fashion stakes. But there were a few WTF moments on the red carpet, so let's take a look.

"Uh, Anne.....Annie, my leeeetle principessa! I am filled with amore for you too, darrrrrlink, but stop trying to kiss my cheek. My tan will smudge. SMUDGE I TEEEEELL YOU! Step away from me, PRONTO! Look, look over there is Mary Hart - can you believe she's 60? Please, go. Go and ask her what de secret is, please darlink."

2011 Grammy Awards Fashion Round Up

I can't really call this a "highlights" post because the Grammys fashion was CRACKED OUT.  Like, a million times more than last year, where people attempted to maintain some level of normalcy. So, without further ado, let's check out what people "wore" on the night.

Ricky Martin and his tight, satin pants encourage you to "VEN EN AMANTES!"

SAG Awards 2011 - Fashion Round Up

Wow, people totally Brought It to the SAGs this year, I'm impressed! Even Helena Bonham Carter looked relatively normal - I mean, her shoes actually matched. What is this world coming to? Although it does make my life a bit more difficult because it's harder to snark on people when they're dressed perfectly, but I'll do my best to infuse this post with appropriate levels of snark and praise.


See what I mean?

Oops, but wait - something's not quite right.....

Quirky John Lennon sunglasses are GO. We can now commence the round-up.

Golden Globes 2011 Fashion Round Up

AKA The Year of Beige.

Hoo boy, a LOT of women wore beige/neutral/pale shades this year. Most of the shades were incredibly blah and washed them out. Some people did it properly. Most did not. I wasn't that enamoured with most of the beige, so I'm going to review what caught my eye, because really, what else matters?

Ugh, that sounded assy. Sorry.

Anyway, here we go! 

Ricky Gervais invites you in so he can make a joke about you and watch as you fail to understand his British humor.

2010 ARIA Award Fashion

Look, I didn't watch the ARIA Awards. I kind of forgot it was on, then whenever I flicked over to it there was random sutff going on out the front of the Opera House and the crowd didn't seem that enthused by it all, so my husband took over the TV and ended up watching his recorded Formula 1 Brazil Highlights (someone beat their own time by ONE SECOND!!)

But. The ARIAs do bring out the quirky/ugly/pretty parade every year, so let's take a look at my fashion hits and misses.

The Irrelevant Award - Jane Gazzo

Dear Jane: It is no longer 1997, you are no longer a "cool" triple J radio announcer and no one really gives a shit about your weird-ass red carpet "outfit." Please stop.

The Emmys were on today! So, of course, here's my fashion round up after the jump.....

82nd Academy Awards: Part 14

HANKS!

Wow, they don't muck around, they just straight out announe Best Picture without the hoo ha. THE HURT LOCKER FOR THE WIN - JAMES CAMERON MUST BE LIVID!

Ha, the actors at the back look soooo excited, how sweet. They're going to get so wasted at the Governor's Ball later on. Katherine looks like she wants to vomit and wet her pants. I hope neither happens, because her dress is too gorgeous for bodily fluids.

Seriously, how tall is she?? For someone pushing 60 she looks incredible.

Okay, and that wraps it up - Steve and Alec did a great job and we're out!

Until next time, peeps! Pin It

82nd Academy Awards: Part 13

Same format again with a montage of the Best Actresses and a bunch of people to introduce them. We start with Forest Whitaker, who looks like he's lost weight, paying tribute to Sandra Bullock.

What's that guy's name who was in Frost Nixon? I have no idea, but he's talking about Helen Mirren (who still looks fabulous!) and apparently he thinks she's a hottie as well.

Peter Sarsgaard introduces Carey Mulligan, who looks cute with a pixie cut. That little "Darling" tacked on to the end there was a bit patronising.

Wow, Oprah looks really great - that blue number is stunning. She's lost a lot of weight - the pressure's on when it's the Oscars, huh Oprah? She is introducing Gabby Sidibe, who is crying already.

Tucci's back, introducing Meryl Streep, who's totally going to win. I really think her white gown is lovely, so simple but elegant.

Sean Penn is here to announce the winner and he doesn't look too tanked yet - waiting until the end of te show to put him on was a risky move, Academy, but well done.

Best Actress goes to.......Sandra Bullock. COME ON PEOPLE. Gabby Sidibe kicked ass, but whatever. And Meryl Streep just got a total brush off from Bullock. BURN. Yes, Bullock, GABBY SHOULD HAVE WON. I will grudgingly admit that Bullock has great hair and her husband looks so emotional and happy for her BUT WHATEVER.

Wow, we're going straight into another award with Babs, who looks like she's tied a tablecloth around her neck and thrown a dinner jacket over it. WTF is that? Anyway, it's time for Best Director and I really hope Jimmy C. doesn't win. I feel a bit sorry for Tarantino, he hardly ever wins. Lee Daniels has awesome hair. Sometimes I wish I had an afro, it looks so awesome. Jason Reitman's bitchface is about to come out when he doesn't win - he really needs to work on that.

Here we go...Best Director: Katherine Bigelow! Woot! SUCK IT JAMES CAMERON. She looks amazing, so svelte and elegant. Satin is risky because it wrinkles, but her dress is beautiful. And a standing ovation as well! Wow, she looks about 8 feet tall.

Aw, poor Tarantino. Pin It

82nd Academy Awards: Part 12

We're back now with a montage of Best Actor nominees I think? Yeah, Michelle Pfieffer is talking about Jeff Bridges, so now we're about to see who wins Best Actor. It's totally going to be Bridges. He looks emotional.

Vera Farmiga looks lovely in  red. She's talking up Clooney, who finally looks more upbeat. Dreamy indeed.

Julianne Moore is looking nice, having done much better in the fashion stakes than her dismal black dress at the Globes. Firth looks nervous, but I really hope he wins.

Tim Robbins (WHAT HAPPENED WITH SUSAN SARANDON??) is talking about Morgan Freeman and their Shawshank experience and there is a nice little joke in there about Morgan calling him Ted.

Colin Firth still looks exactly the same as when he first appeared. Jeremy Renner seems like a nice guy.

Kate Winslet looks really nice, even if her dress is a little bit too simple in the bodice. Ok, here we go with Best Actor.....

Jeff Bridges totally won, no surprises there. And he gets a standing ovation which is nice. He looks and sounds absolutely jubilant. He speech is lovely. Wow, Scott Cooper looks about nineteen. Dude, Clooney looks pissed! Pin It

82nd Academy Awards: Part 11

The hosts are back to introduce Tarantino and some other dude I recognise from last year. They're introducing Best Foreign Film....The Oscar goes to The Secret in their Eyes. Is that the right title? Man, Tarantino has a huge chin. How did I never notice that before? Aw, the winner is getting flustered, how cute. "Please wrap up - how?"

Kathy Bates is on now to introduce Avatar. She kind of looks like she's trying to holding up her underwear with the way she's grasping her waist.

Wow, that was quick, an ad break already. They're getting into the business end of things, so why not space it out for another 40 minutes? Pin It

82nd Academy Awards: Part 10

Now Matt Damon is on introducing Best Documentary Feature. My dad was going to get something to eat, but when he heard Matt Damon was coming on he hurried back over to the couch to watch his fantasy BFF. I'd like to watch Food, Inc. but I think I would never eat meat again. And I love meat. Okay, now that Damon is gone Dad is getting some biscuits and pate. Mmm, pate.


And The Cove takes out the award. I hate seeing animals in distress, so I don't know much about this flick. That is ironic, considering I just admitted to loving meat.


Giant red Snuggies!! Now it's time for Best Film Editing, which The Hurt Locker wins. OH MY GOD  ELBOW LENGTH BLACK GLOVES. With a diamond ring over it, so Miss Piggy.


Keanu Reeves is looking scruffy with a beard. But he's introducing The Hurt Locker. How many more best picture nominees are there left? It feels like there have been about a million so far. And another ad break. Pin It

82nd Academy Awards: Part 9

J-Lo, who looks really beautiful, and Sam Worthington who had to put on his Intellectual Black Framed Glasses before he can read the teleprompter. Best Score now, with some dancers leaping about. Breakdancing and ballet? That's an odd combo - very So You Think You Can Dance. Transitioning to....people racing all over the stage and more SYTYCD stuff. A B-Boy is jerking around onstage and I really don't think this dancing matches the music. Ok, the Fantasic Mr. Fox music seems to suit the dance better now, but it's still strange. Ooh, the mid-air twists are cool though. A robot simulation for Up going back into ballet and breakdancing. The Avatar dancing is good - the music seems to suit the ballet and the breakdancing more than any of the other scores. Ah, what would breakdancing be without some dudes spinning on their heads?

A standing ovation for that, really? Come on people, they're no Baby and Johnny.

Sam took off his Intellectual Glasses during the dancing. He must be ready to party now that the reading bit is over. And Up takes the Oscar. J-Lo, Sam and the Oscar dude are standing way too close to the guy that won. Ooh, Ducky got himself a hot date that doesn't want to kill him. Well done.

Gerard Butler and Bradley Cooper now, two of the biggest man-ho's of the moment introducing Best Visual Effects. I need to pee again, so can we all just assume that Avatar wins? Ok, good.

Jason Bateman is on now and is introducing Up in the Air. Clooney still looks unimpressed, despite watching himself onscreen for at least a minute. Pin It
