<p>Not so. Farrah appeared in 18 films. She was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actess for her role in Extremities, and also nominated for an Independent Spririt Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Apostle.</p>
<p>If they could include Michael Jackson with his very thin filmography, they certainly should have remembered Farrah.</p>

<p>I thoroughly enjoyed the bantering back and forth between Alec and Steve, but as I mentioned up thread, I love Steve Martin. Watching them made me wonder if they had a close friendship prior to It’s Complicated, or if being in that movie propogated a new bond between them. I loved the movie, but wish Steve had had more screen time in it.</p>
<p>Have fun :)</p>

<p>I must be the only adult I know who has seen Avatar and I have to admit I really enjoyed it. The visuals are very pretty, sort of theme park-y, and the story is very hoaky and written for a 14 year old boy mentality (apologies to 14 yr old boys) but still enjoyable. IMO, those who see it as anti-American are those with guilty consciences. Unless you actually like the phrase, “shock and awe”. But as a critique of American culture, it’s about as sophisticated as…Dancing with the Stars.</p>
<p>My vote for worst dress of the night… Sigourney Weaver.
Horrible, horrible, horrible. Looks like it took someone two hours to make it.</p>
<p>Favorite dresses of the ones I caught:
Sandra Bullock
Helen Mirren
Elizabeth Banks
Penelope Cruz
Meryl Streep
Demi Moore
Queen Latifah
Cameron Diaz</p>
<p>Worst dresses of the ones I caught:
Sarah Jessica Parker
Vera Farmiga
Jennifer Lopez
Sigourny Weaver
Charlize Theron</p>
<p>soozie, that’s pretty much the same list as I have (I’ll add Anna Kendrick’s dress to the Best Dressed list).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>To me it looked like she had tried to rub off the spray tan, but that it came off unevenly.</p>
<p>LOVED Helen Mirren’s dress…covered up, just enough, without being frumpy.</p>
<p>I have to make correction I misidentified the designer for Sandra Bullocks dress ( and also thought it was funny that many bloggers thought it was boring)</p>
<p>Also apparently same line also furnished Vera Farmigas’ & Gabourey Sidibes’ dresses.

<p>( I thought Kate Winslet looked good too- but I really like her hair darker or red better)</p>
<p>This is my favorite dress- us short busty gals have to stick together;)

<p>I like how some of the actresses were pale- but do you know how hard it is to find makeup that matches your pale skin tone that doesn’t make you look like you are a ghost?
( I think Vera’s dress would have looked alot better if they had just left off one or two rows of the ruffle- it is an unusual color pink/red though)</p>
<p>BB:I was going to add Anna Kendrick’s dress to best list too…had a second thought…I really do love the dress. It was pale against her pale skin though. Didn’t love her hair. But was happy she has made it this far as a young actress (was once on Broadway). Similarly, I like Amanda Seyfried’s dress, also age appropriate. But again, not enough contrast with her skin tone.</p>
<p>Add to my best dress list:
Kristen Stewart
Mariska Hargitay
Jane Seymour
Guiluliana Rancic</p>
<p>Add to my worst dress list:
Zoe Saldana
Nicole Richie
Diane Kruger</p>
<p>Mixed feelings:
Kathryn Bigelow…so happy for her. But while her gown is pretty, it just seems so snug and uncomfortable looking. Not fond of the high neckline either.</p>
<p>I missed some of these earlier. Looked at a different site.</p>
<p>Thanks, BunsenBurner!!</p>

To me the reason why she deserved the Oscar is that the character could have been merely “ugly and evil,” but she took it beyond that. There would have been two ways to cop out on that role: one, just to be a one-dimensional monster, and two, to play for sympathy throughout. Mo’nique did neither–she gave us a nearly unwatchable train wreck of a human being, but one still recognizable as a real person, so that that amazing final scene in Mariah Carey’s office doesn’t seem pulled out of the air, but like the revelation of something we’ve sensed all along. </p>
<p>This is one of those years where I wish certain movies had been released earlier or later, because I thought Anna Kendrick really deserved to win too.</p>
<p>I very much liked Meryl Streep’s dress, and was pleased to learn that the designer was Chris March of Project Runway fame.</p>
<p>With regard to Farrah, “Extremities” was a made for tv movie - I think - so she would have received no acknowledgment for that, but “The Apostle” was not made for tv so I guess that was an oversight. Maybe there has to be a body (meaning more than one) of movie work to be mentioned.</p>
<p>Edited to add - according to this article, she was in other movies - not just “made for tv.” There was also talk of leaving out Bea Arthur. </p>

<p>soozievt - I pretty much agree with you on all of the best dresses. I did not like how some of the young girls with fair skin (I have two D’s like this) wore the pale dresses that really made them seem washed out. We all hated Sarah Jessica’s and J’Lo’s dresses.</p>
<p>I thought Cameron Diaz looked terrific. Last time I saw a picture of her she was looking thin and not healthy, but at the Oscar’s she looked wonderful.</p>
<p>Miley Cyrus’ dress was not cute and the girl needs to learn to put her shoulders back and stand up straight. I admit we are not fans of hers (her voice is like nails on a chalkboard), but then having the Mom show her tatoos on the red carpet made me think of “trailer trash.” Yuck!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>thank you!!!</p>
<p>This absolutely drives me crazy among young performers. It says, “Look at me, I have no confidence in myself.”</p>
<p>I don’t follow Miley Cyrus at all, though she looked more grown up than I realized. I did not like her dress…the whole bustier thing just wasn’t right. Anna Kendrick and Amanda Seyfried (both young actresses though OLDER than Miley) had much more age appropriate and pretty dresses (the issue to me with them was only that they were too fair with the coloring of the chosen dresses). I didn’t pay attention to Miley (did notice the dress itself), but she is very young and so how she carries herself at an event with older people may be due to her age (then again, she surely must have people advising her) .</p>

<p>Wikipedia lists Extremities as one of her theatrical films vs. TV, so that’s where I got that. And the fact that she was nominated in that role for a Golden Globe for “Best Actress in a Motion Picture-Drama” seems to support that. At any rate, she appeared in many films. Again, from what I can tell, Michael Jackson made ONE movie (The Wiz) in which he appeared as a character rather than as himself in a cameo or in a music video format, so I just don’t get that she wasn’t deserving of mention.</p>

<p>I thought it lasted way too long. Seemed like those dancers were at it for at least 20 minutes.</p>
<p>Dresses - I normally think Penelope Cruz is very hot, but last night she looked kind of strange in her red dress. The asymmetrical neckline made her breasts look oddly unbalanced - as though one was somehow installed higher on her chest than the other.</p>
<p>^^^Yeah, the eye formation!</p>
