Confessions of a Fashion Addict.

ugh i’ve been so lazy lately, sorry tumblr-ers. :((

I’m currently studying for a test, but I just wanted to drop a line to let you know i haven’t forgotten about you!!!

Never really felt this alone before…

It seems like every minority group has been persecuted against. Blacks, native Americans, Jewish, homosexuals, Irish. But you never see anybody persecuting white, Anglo saxons.

Why is that?

Okay… so the Oscars have come and gone, but I would just like to take this moment to just vent a little bit about the major categories.

Best Picture- The King’s Speech. SOOOO well deserved. this movie is incredibly touching and surprisingly emotional. I would have been mad if the Social Network won, because although it is a great film, it didn’t move me. It didn’t make me cry. It just didn’t get an emotion out of me at all, except for, “Wow, Mark Zuckerburg, you’re an ass.” The King’s Speech, however, made me cry. I was rooting for the main character from the very beginning. And in my opinion, that is what makes an best-picture film.

Best Actor- Colin Firth in The King’s Speech. I have loved Colin Firth ever since i saw the FIRST Bridget Jone’s Diary. He is so sexy, so eloquent, so BRITISH. And after watching The King’s Speech and A Single Man (for which he was previously nominated for best actor, losing to Jeff Bridges last year) And if anybody DESERVED an Oscar this year, it was him. He was so moving as King George in The King’s Speech. He nailed it. And I knew that he would win since I first watched this movie, which was in November. I love being right. :)

Best Actress- Natalie Portman in Black Swan. Okay, yes, Natalie Portman did a great job playing a crazy person. I know that. But I would be lying if I said I was rooting for her to win. I was in Annette Benning’s corner the whole way. Now I haven’t actually seen The Kids Are All Right, but I have seen much of Benning’s earlier films, and I’m surprised she hasn’t won an oscar yet. Portman is young!! I know she can win an Oscar later on, but how many more chances will Benning have? Will she always play the bridesmaid and never the bride?? :(

Best Supporting Actor- Christian Bale in The Fighter. YES. Again, after watching The Fighter, I remember telling my sister, “you might as well just give him the Academy Award.” AND I WAS RIGHT. He completely embodied Dick Ecklund. he nailed everything from his speech (Bale is British, Ecklund is from Boston), to his mannerisms, to his attitude. I mean, i walked away totally believing that it was ACTUALLY Ecklund and not Christian Bale. Bravo.

Best Director: Tom Hooper for The King’s Speech. I remember telling my mom before watching the Academy Awards on Sunday that I wanted an upset in a major category. And boy did I get it. David Fincher, who directed The Social Network, was supposed to have this award on lock. Everybody thought Hooper was “too young” and “inexperienced” and they’re right. He is after all, 38 years young, an this was his first film. But he helmed one of the best films I have ever seen. And he pulled off one of the biggest upsets in Oscar History. Props to him!

Those are really the only categories I care about, besides costume design. I knew Colleen Atwood had that in the bag for Alice in Wonderland.
