Anyway, Jon Stewart was cute, although clearly the writers did not have enough time to polish a few of those jokes before setting it out there. Tilda Swinton finally got recognized, which was fabulous because I love her (and hate her dress - more on that later). Johnny Depp still lacks an Oscar, which makes me sad, but it was expected. But how amused was I that the ex-stripper won Best Original Screenplay? I haven't seen No Country For Old Men though, so a lot of it was lost on me. Ah well.
But let's get to the important part - the clothes!
People.com is so forgiving and they've named 21 women as the best dressed. I have a few issues with some of the choices. Forgive me if I sound like I'm channeling the girls over at Go Fug Yourself - I might be.
1. Cameron Diaz - Are you kidding? She had a pillow on her butt in an unflattering color, which you barely noticed because her skin looked like she had just gone on a 45 minute jog through the Sahara in midday.
2. Jennifer Garner - She looked like she was suctioned into that black dress, which was clearly meant for a flatter chested girl... perhaps someone like Rachel Zoe, who Garner gushed had picked it out for her. Zoe! Stop creating Mini-Me's! I don't care for Jennifer Garner, but her breasts deserved more respect than that.
3. Miley Cyrus - I have no real beef with the dress, although it's boring... but WHY are you even AT THE OSCARS?
4. Mrs. Daniel Day Lewis - I don't know her real name, but at least she didn't show up on the Best Dressed list. Of anyone. Anywhere. She was a mix between that horrible costume jewelry you find in your grandma's closet that her mother bought during the Depression and a Christmas ornament. I wish I were kidding. It's no dead swan or spangled Cher creation though, I have to admit.
5. Tilda Swinton - She also wasn't on the People.com list. Like I said, love her and hate the dre-... um, sack-like black thing. I wish she would go all Annie Hall on us and wear a suit - go where Diane Keaton has gone so many times before. Not backwards though.
Kudos go to Penelope Cruz, Keri Russell, Laura Linney and the perfect Heidi Klum for pulling it off without making me want to poke out my eyes with a spork.
But the best dressed for the evening definitely goes to Helen Mirren, which is completely unfair. I pray to age as well as her. Hello, she's a senior freaking citizen and she's wiping the floor with her 20-something competition. Congrats, Helen. I kind of love and hate you at the same time. But mostly, I love the dress.

I loved Helen Mirren's description of her own dress--something along the lines of "I'm playing a madam at a whore house in an upcoming movie and must be channeling a bit of my character." Hee!
Also, Daniel Day-Lewis' wife is Rebecca Miller, daughter of Arthur Miller, who wrote The Crucible, the movie adaptation of which starred Daniel Day-Lewis. That's so circularly awesome that I give her a little break.
Oh, and how cute is Amy Adams?
That is circularly awesome... but she still paired that dress with zebra print shoes. I died a little on the inside when I saw that. But hey, her husband just won Best Actor again - she probably could care less what anyone thinks.
Amy Adams was pretty adorable. I forgot about her.
