Some are questioning Billy Crystal's impression of Sammy Davis Jr. in his opening number as Oscar host. As part of Crystal's opening montage, he parodied...
octavia and michelle obama are two of the most ugly women i have ever seen. if they were white everyone would be making jokes about them,joan rivers.lets see was she in the help or orca.

Gwyneth was tops in my book, with Milla running second.....honorable mention to Penelope Cruz. I thought it was funny that Jennifer Lopez made the "look like a lady" quote in a dress so tight and see-thru, it looked cheap. The quote is right-on, and she proved it!

As a designer, I have never liked any of the dresses people wear to the Academy Awards, or the jewelry. There is nothing really unusually creative nor innovative, year after year.

Whoever wrote that obviously has very different taste than the person who wrote this..... that article mocked Gwyneth's cape and several others on this best list were on that worst list. In other words, everyone has different taste. And unless you're really out there (and wear a swan) someone will love the way you look and others will hate it. Dress for whatever makes you look best and to heck with these critics.

I think they all have a unique style of their own, such a great inspiration and a pleasure to look at them. The dresses are gorgeous the hair styles marvelous. A real star studded sky, all of them twinkling significantly. Beautiful lucky ladies---

denzel washington makes a film with hair au natural, viola davis does the wig trick. almost every black person featured in a commercial has a variation on an afro- from ikea to baking products what gives. ad people and the creators of the products have colluded to advance the style. the hair style isn't the problem but the fact that there is such blatant collusion. ad manipulation has always been a problem but the fact that there is widespread acceptance of the use of this hair style certainly raises eyebrows as to what else these guys could promote particularly in the form of social and political manipulation.
