Hollywood’s Biggest Night

This past Sunday the stars of Hollywood put on their dresses and tuxedos to celebrate motion pictures at the 87th Academy Awards. Neil Patrick Harris hosted the show and had the audience laughing all night long. If you missed the opening musical act you can catch it here. Some big winners of the night were Eddie Redmayne for Best Actor, Julianne Moore for Best Actress and Birdman took the Oscar home for Best Picture. The rest of the winners can be found here.

There were many musical performances throughout the night by musicians such as Tim McGraw, Maroon 5, John Legend and Common, and Lady GaGa who did a tribute for The Sound of Music 50th Anniversary (my favorite moment of the night).

On the red carpet the stars were dressed to impress. For the women we saw lots of white and nude dresses trending and for the men the navy and black trend carried over from the Grammys.

One of my favorites of the night was Lupita Nyong’o in Calvin Klein Collection. More than 6,000 pearls were used to make this beautiful dress.

Jennifer Aniston wore Atelier Versace.

Kerry Washington wore one of her favorite designers, Miu Miu.

Jennifer Lopez wore Elie Saab Haute Couture. This wasn’t one of my favorites…didn’t like how the dress blended in with her skin.

Marion Cotillard wore Dior Haute Couture…while the dress was a nice concept it looked like sushi to me.

Gwyneth Paltrow wore Ralph & Russo Couture which was one of my favorites of the night! Loved the shoulder!!

And my best dressed of the night was Margot Robbie in Saint Laurent. Her amazing necklace was by Van Cleef & Arpels and belonged to the Duchess of Windsor.

Other moments that had people talking were some touching acceptance speeches. When Patricia Arquette won Best Supporting Actress for Boyhood she shed light on a very important topic going on: equal wages for women and the crowd, including Meyrl Streep and Jennifer Lopez, LOVED it.

Grame Moore who won Best Adapted Screenplay for The Imitation Game admitted during his speech that when he was only 16 he tried to kill himself. He reminded anyone who feels left out or weird to not feel like that because thats what got him where he is. “Stay weird, stay different,” he told the audience.

Another year and another Academy Awards has come and gone. It was a great show and I hope this helped fill you in incased you missed it! Until next time…
