The Oscars are my Super Bowl, and tonight I started getting ready at the crack of dawn. Actually, that's not entirely true. I was up at the crack of dawn, but I wasn't getting Oscar-ready. I love watching the Oscars at home, with tissues by my side, since I always shed tears for the winners. (I also shed a tear because I wish I was at the Oscars, too, in a gorgeous designer gown, walking the red carpet and quickly doing an outfit change in my hotel room for the after-parties. I mean! How much fun would that be?) The best part of the Oscars, of course, are the gorgeous gowns everyone is wearing. Who wore what best is almost more important than who took home the Oscar. Here are the gowns I LOVED at the 2015 Oscars: Nicole Kidman. She sparkled. I loved her dress, her hair, her everything. To me, she is always perfection. And she was stunning. Julianne Moore. I always, always love Julianne Moore. I think she's an amazing actress and she's flawless on the red ca...

I love the Oscars like the biggest sports fan loves the Super Bowl. I've always loved the Oscars , and Hollywood, and movies. Everything about the movies, from the soundtracks to the costume design and everything in between. When I interned at Entertainment Tonight, it felt like a dream, and still sort of does. It was also a million years ago—or what feels like a million years ago. Anyway, although I really wanted to start watching Season Two of Breaking Bad, (I don't know what took me so long to start watching, but thanks to the suggestion from my husband, I now have a brilliant show to watch to fill the House of Cards void!) I sat down to watch the Oscars tonight, and here's what I thought: 1. Ellen did a fantastic job hosting, and was pretty hilarious! Maybe not as funny as Tina and Amy , but good enough to keep us laughing during the entirely too long show. 2. Kevin Spacey (!!!) doing his Frank Underwood voice when he was presenting? Loved it. So much. Please h...

Watching the Oscars when you've seen every nominated movie is awesome. I haven't seen more than two Oscar nominated movies in a single year since having children, but hey, I still tune in and watch, because I love to see what everyone is wearing, and also, watching any awards show (or TV in general) while on Twitter is totally awesome. This year's Oscars were not exciting at all, I'm sad to report. I miss Billy Crystal. And Steve Martin. Heck, I even miss James Franco! Also, Argo was a great movie and entertaining to watch on a plane, but Best Picture? Not really. And that's um... all I have to say about that. Oh, also? I really need to see Silver Linings Playbook and Django Unchained. Now, let's talk about the important stuff, like who wore what! And who looked hot... and not. Who do I think looked amazing at the Oscars? Maria Menounos! I don't think she's gone wrong, ever. She's gorgeous. And, okay, yes, she's also Greek, but I promise I...
