Good morning pals. I was dead tired putting this together last night, but I thought I’d throw a few of the best pics together and do a little round-up anyway so don’t kill me if I left your favorites out… and there could be typos..

Gaga fixing Rami Malek’s tie on the red carpet.

What did you all think of the show? I thought it was a little odd without a host to be honest. It seemed to be missing some flow and some of the acceptance speeches were droning on while people read the names of every human they’ve ever come in contact with. It was a bit of a mess at the beginning. Then it seemed to gain some rhythm and it always ends well when there are some inspiring acceptance speeches. Olivia Colman proved again she is the most likable and cute actor out there. Rami Malek is darling and I was so happy he won and he brought his film wife who is now his real-life girlfriend. Barbara Streisand had the best intro to a film – Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlannsman saying she loved it for being funny, entertaining and telling the truth, something really needed now. I so want to see it. In my opinion the best parts of the night- The Queen opening with the original band members and Adam Lambert- and Gaga and Bradley Cooper singing their Shadows song..

The internet was freaking out when he left his microphone and went to sit with her on the piano bench. Wowsers they have chemistry. People were asking how does he then go back and sit with his girlfriend? LOL

In the end Green Book won, which had some controversy, but I thought it still a great film and eye-opening about a lot of things people have no clue were happening in America just a few decades ago. Personally though, I thought Bohemian Rhapsody was amazing – the story, the music and I kind of was hoping it won.

Some of the best looks of the night…

Best Actress winner Olivia Colman in custom made Prada. I can’t wait to see her in the new season of The Crown. I thought she was good in The Favorite, but the movie was a dog.

Brie Larson’s look was my favorite. I loved her hair, makeup and her Celine gown! Wow.

Crazy Rich Asians star Michelle Yeoh is 56 and looks better than ever in Elie Saab.

Gemma Chan in Valentino. This looks so comfy with the pockets!

Amy Adams in Versace. This was a gorgeous dress and the photos don’t show it. I like her natural hair and makeup.

Regina King won Best Supporting Actress. I have not been able to see If Beale Street Could Talk, but I hope it comes back as it wasn’t here long and in just a few theaters. Loved her all white and beautiful earrings.

Charlize’s Dior was a gorgeous blue. A totally different look for her.

Laura Harrier wore this beautiful blue Louis Vuitton.

I thought this dress was beautiful on Kelly Ripa.

Lady Gaga looked great, but I’m used to her being so over the top in cool things that this look seemed almost a bit too safe to me. What did you all think?

Both Melissa McCarthy and Glenn Close were stunning. Melissa must have gotten a new stylist as this looked so great on her. Glen’s dress by Carolina Herrera had 4 millions beads and weighed 42 pounds she said. Note they both have capes here. The cape look is still hot.

Isn’t this fabulous? Glen on the red carpet from the back. I am sad she didn’t win, but I do love Olivia Colman. Has anyone seen Glen’s movie? I have heard The Wife is great.

Emilia Clarke in Balenciaga. Really lovely.

Dame Helen Mirren always looks fab not frumpy.

Marie Kondo in pink which was very big last night and is flattering on so many.

Rachel Weisz’s rubber dress was different.

A beautiful look on Jennifer Hudson who sang a song from the RBG documentary.

Best Actor winner Rami Malek and girlfriend Lucy Boynton. I thought her dress was a bit classic for such a young person. He looked terrific.

Not the best looks these people have ever worn…

Emma Stone. Don’t know why, but I don’t like it and she could look a LOT better.

I’m a floral lover, but this was too much on Maya Rudolf! I’m having flashbacks to Mrs Roper. Her earrings were awesome. She would be fab in a more sleek and modern look with the same earrings.

Linda Cardenelli’s Schiaparelli gown was more showgirl than Oscars.

Sarah Paulson is so pretty, but this gown and her hair did not flatter.

What did you all think of this tulle number on Kacey Musgraves? I was not a fan.

I love Tina Fey, but she could take a few risks. This is not so hip or flattering. I’d love to see her in a long sleeve dress with a cool sheer print and her hair back.

Things are changing though. You can tell people are caring less about being ‘red carpet’ perfect and are dressing to please themselves. This seems a result of the backlash a few years ago when all the carpet was about was the designers and not the work these people did. Now we are seeing more individuality and less styled people.

Some cute couples who did their own THING…
