Live Blogging the Oscars ...


The Oscars have now ended and so has the award season. This year was really a great one for movies and I enjoyed every minute of the show. Here are my instant thoughts as the show went on:

Barbara Walters Oscar Special:

  • No wonder Hugh’s the sexiest man alive.

Oscar Red Carpet:

  • Kate Winslet looks gorgeous in YSL.
  • Love how Tim Gunn had to chase Angelina and Brad on the red carpet. Do they even know who he is?
