As a reward for staying up late to watch the Oscars, I really feel I should be rewarded with any or all of the actresses’ makeup artists. And maybe a stylist. Getting up and dressed for school after a late night is a bit of a challenge when I’ve got major on-loan-dress-envy. While the awards themselves were a little awkward (Did James Franco meet up with Charlie Sheen before the show?), there were a few entertaining moments. For me, the best part was joining in on the College Candy liveblog Oscar party.

Seriously, it was the place to be last night….and about the only reason I even stayed awake for the “duh” awards at the end of the show.

But we all know we don’t watch the Oscars for the show itself. The fashion – from the dresses to the jewels to the shoes – is what really matters. Especially when it’s James Franco wearing all three. Anyways, in case you missed it or didn’t get enough of my quips during the liveblog, check out the most memorable looks from last night’s show. Read More »

This past Saturday, the Black Eyed Peas showed up at the NRJ Awards (the top music awards show in France), and won the award for best international group. Just one more step in the unending world-wide dominance of the Black Eyed Peas, right? Wrong! The group was actually given the award by mistake. The new winner was announced, to the sound of boos.

As the host of the show said, “It happens!” Indeed. Embarrassing mistakes at award shows do happen… and so, in honor of this occasion, we present you with a round-up of the Most Amazing Award Show Mistakes of All Time.

Of all the award shows (what are there, 74?), the Grammys is my absolute fave. Unlike the Emmy Awards or the Oscars that get really boring after awhile, the Grammys are chock full of awesome performances from the best artists of the year. It’s like my dream concert made better by the fact that I get to watch the whole thing on my couch… with a tube of cookie dough.

And last night was no disappointment. Well, maybe the whole Chris Brown/Rihanna sitch – lord knows I would have loved to see her performing. Coldplay and Jay-Z? Katy Perry? Al Green and Justin Timberlake? Our homegirl, Jennifer Hudson?

I was dancin’ in my living room. Yes, cookie dough in hand.

And the red carpet wasn’t too shabby, either. It definitely kept me on my toes. I don’t know what it is about this particular award show, but people really like to think outside the box with their fashion choices. I saw way too many origami-inspired dresses, not to mention the weird thing that Paris Hilton decided to sport. And the guys weren’t much better. I mean, I know Coldplay was performing but did they have to wear those costumes all night? You didn’t see Katy Perry rocking the sparkley Chiquita Banana outfit on the Red Carpet…

Below are some of the more….er….interesting fashion statements from the Grammys. I mean, who really thinks a giant bow should be placed directly over your lady parts?

I don’t know, friends; I just don’t know. At least it made for some exciting TV, though. (Click on the picture to get a glance at the whole weird-lookin’ ensemble.) Read More »
