Some Oscar Observations:

1. YAY for Reese Witherspoon! I am so happy that she won the Oscar! She's been one of my favorites for a long time (she is just so cute and endearing), and it was great to see her win for one of my favorite movies this year. Plus, she looked gorgeous in her long, beaded gown (although I can't seem to find out who the designer is).

2. It was a tight race between Crash and Brokeback Mountain...and I would have been happy with either movie winning Best Picture...so congrats to Crash! I think both films were very thoughtful and meaningful. And it was nice to see how absolutely thrilled the cast of Crash was when the movie won.

3. The red carpet was not as exciting as I hoped it would be. I thought there were a few standouts: Reese, Jennifer Aniston, Felicity Huffman, Nicole Kidman, and Michelle Williams (she looks like a doll!). Charlize Theron - who usually looks gorgeous - picked a gown that was a little too out there for my taste with that huge bow on the shoulder. And overall, there were too much nude/skin color hues...I was hoping for more color!

4. I think Jessica Alba may have the Nicole Ritchie syndrome. She is usually perfect-looking, but she looked so skinny tonight! It was actually a little alarming!
