"If fashion were porn, this dress would be the money shot."

That quote basically sums up why I love Gabourey Sidibe. Girlfriend is sassy, cleverly descriptive, and unafraid to compare fashion to bodily fluids to help us understand how awesome she looks.
When it comes down to it, I don't really care all that much about the actual Oscars ceremony.
Sidenote: Except when a female director wins. I LOVE YOU KATHRYN BIGELOW!
It should come as no surprise that I'm all about the pre-show for the fashions and for Ryan Seacrest's pained interactions with stars who pretend to like him for approximately two minutes.
Sidenote, part deux: How hard is it to ask the ladies who they're wearing, Ry Guy? That's your only real job! Stop asking what they ate for breakfast. No one cares that you think Peter Sarsgaard and Maggie Gyllenhaal shared a Pop-Tart.
When it comes to frocks of the night, I've going with Sandra Bullock in Marchesa for the win. Freakin' stunning. I die all the time for that vintage, slinky silhouette, and I enjoyed the fact that her chest was covered with diamonds. It made her stand out in the sea of women who apparently decided to boycott necklaces. Though I have to give a quick "You're my style hero!" nod to Carey Mulligan. She's precious! I just want to pinch her adorable, avant-garde cheeks! Her Prada gown was unique without being too "unique," and those earrings were gorgeous. Even though she does look better with dark hair, I applaud her for taking risks and nailing them approximately 95% of the time. Now I just hope that she's in lots of more movies that mainstream audiences love so that I can continue admiring her from afar.
