KMK: It’s Over!

The glitter has finally settled as the paparazzi chase after fresher game while the stars of Hollywood crawl back into their gilded cages to dream of dashed hopes or dazzling dreams come true. It’s over, baby.

Yet, the fun is just starting here. Lets get right down to the nitty gritty and start things of with Kiss My Kimchi’s first ever

RED CARPET SHOWDOWN!


Anne Hathaway vs Kirsten Dunst 

Anne comes out of the box with a floral print mess that resembles my grandmother’s table cloth. She tops it off by wearing an giant Amazonian butterfly stuffed and pinned to her chest. 

Not to be outdone, Kirsten slinks onto the red carpet as if she’s just arrived from the set of a roaring twenties black and white gangster film where she’s starring as a struggling flapper gone bad girl. At least with the feathers at the hem she can keep the red carpet clean.

Cate Blanchett vs Anika Noni Rose 

Cate, whom I love, seems intent on channeling the chain mail medieval diva look. She even went for an added ethnic touch of mehndi stitching no doubt done by Madonna. 

Feeling the same vibe, Anika went the aluminum foil route as if she stepped right out of a space opera. I think Flash Gordon was her date. All she needs is a ray gun and she’s set.

Kate Winslet vs Penelope Cruz

Kate Winslet scores an A. She’s simple and elegant and stuns in this key lime dress. True beauty does not need to be overdone.

Penelope Cruz gets it half right. Top says glamour, but the bottom says dust buster.

Jennifer Lopez vs Daniel Craig & Satsuki Mitchell

Jennifer Lopez glides over the red carpet in her grecian inspired gown. She’s gorgeous from head to toe. The high waist cinches right under her heaving bosoms and her black curls and perfectly made face gives her a Latina Helen of Troy vibe.

Even Satsuki Mitchell and Daniel Craig together, fail to eclipse Jennifer’s magnificence. Daniel looks fine in his penguin suit, but his assets are definitely shown best in James Bond, on the beach, in square cut trunks. Satsuki, however, resembles a glass of soy milk.

The Smiths vs Faye Dunaway

The Smith family nails it again. Will, dashing and handsome as ever, compliments his mini-me son, Jayden, to the T. And Jada’s golden warrior woman look provides the splash of color to liven things up.

Poor Faye Dunaway. She should beg to be adopted by Will and Jada. Maybe they can dress her so she doesn’t look like the dancing candlestick holder from Beauty & The Beast.

 

Naomi Watts vs Helen Mirren

Naomi Watts, in faded yellow crepe paper, gives us all a heart attack. She’s still a stunner of a woman though.

Helen Mirren, The Queen, can do no wrong. You can’t criticize a woman who oozes sex appeal even at sixty plus.

 

Gwyneth Paltrow vs Cameron Diaz

Gwyneth Paltrow channels the Little Mermaid with her seashell gown and seaweed hair style.

Cameron Diaz goes for origami but winds up with the crumpled ball of paper look. Modern does not mean ungainly and bland.

Two special shouts have to be mentioned because they were so outrageous that I can’t let it go. Judge for yourselves.

Separated at Birth

A Twizzler & Nicole Kidman 


Mr. Clean & Jack Nicholson

As for the Oscars themselves it was boring as usual except for a few highlights. The opening clip of the nominees tickled me to no end. It was really well done. Then Ellen came on and even though she started flat, she quickly picked things up with her audience interactions. She got Spielberg to take a pic of her and Clint Eastwood for her myspace and she tried to find out who in the front row dropped their weed. 

The one big surprise left Eddie Murphy running for the exit as Alan Arkin won for Best Supporting Actor. Jennifer Hudson took the sibling Best Supporting Actress trophy home and then gave a fabulous performance alongside Beyonce and Anika Noni Rose.

The Helen Mirren award winning train collected the grand prize of Best Actress and Forest Whittaker beat out charming old Peter O’Toole for Best Actor. I felt sad for Peter, who has had 8 nominations with no wins. Ouch.

Scorsese won for Best Director and his old buddies from the good old days, Spielberg and Lucas presented him the award. To top it off Scorsese’s film The Departed also won for Best Picture. Don’t ask me why because I hated it.

That brought the night to a close and Oscar has left the building.

      Hi, I went to yahoo and entered kissmykimchi.com but it led me right to my site and not someplace different. I’m not sure exactly what’s happening on your end.
