zoosermom, you have to see her dancing! The quality of this clip is not good, but gives you the idea: [Charlize</a> Theron Channing Tatum Dancing Way You Look Tonight Oscars Academy Awards - YouTube](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl6jlo_1ADE&feature=player_detailpage]Charlize”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl6jlo_1ADE&feature=player_detailpage) As someone in New York magazine said - Are you listening, Hollywood? We’ll see that movie.</p>

<p>Loved Charlize Theron’s hair. I have short hair. I’d love to have that cut but my gray strands might ruin the effect!</p>

163

<p>Did you see Jane Fonda? She looked like she just walked off the set of Dynasty. Maybe Joan Collins is now a stylist?</p>

164

<p>Pack mom as long as your hair has some thickness and having it that short wouldnt make you look frail, grey hair can look great short.</p>

165

<p>I fell asleep and missed half the show. But I agree with those who say not to make more of it than it is-- fun to gawk a bit. Lighten up folks.</p>

166

<p>

</p>

<p>Not just Hugh Jackman.</p>

167

<p>Bradley Cooper jumped up to help her, too (saw a clip on TV).</p>

168

<p>I would happily be rescued by either of those guys. :)</p>

169

<p>^^^ I didn’t know I couldn’t link to tumblr - sorry.</p>

<p>Yes, I saw the clip in which both Hugh Jackman and Bradley Cooper jumped up to help her. Cooper came from the opposite direction than Jackman.</p>

<p>“I would happily be rescued by either of those guys.”</p>

<p>I might fall on purpose. ;)</p>

<p>I just saw the pic of Jane Fonda’s dress. Gotta say, she looks fabulous. The dress, however, looked like something pulled from the 1970’s end of her closet…padded shoulders, that waist treatment, and the color…very 70’s!</p>

<p>Lawrence decided the same thing.</p>

<p>from IMDb:

<p>I thought Jane Fonda looked great! Yellow is so under-appreciated! She’s 75 years old, for heaven’s sake! I don’t see shoulder pads in that Versace gown–just great shoulders, arms and, probably the most important thing, great posture. She was beautiful, walking to the dais on the arm of Michael Douglas!

<p>Masslou…I said Jane looked FABULOUS. The gown looked great on her. It looked very retro to me, however.</p>

175

<p>I agree it looks very “Dynasty” (the TV show). But I LOVE it!! And really would love to look like her at that age!!! :)</p>

176

<p>I’m sorry but I didn’t like Jane Fonda’s canary yellow dress at all. It looks like one of those dresses hanging sadly on the rack at the back of the store for 90% off. I see the shoulder pads. There’s also an oddly placed vertical seam running on the front of her dress. This is not good retro.</p>

177

<p>I think there may well be shoulder pads. Are they coming back? Halle Berry’s dress (fabulous I thought) also had those shoulders!</p>

<p>I think Fonda’s dress is very flattering, but agree it would look better with side seams in the bottom half. Hope I look half as good at 75!</p>

178

<p>I didn’t like Jane’s dress either or Halle’s (I know I’m an outlier here.) The shoulder pads made her arms look like they were falling out of a socket. </p>

<p>Someone mentioned in an earlier thread Helen Hunts H&M gown. I missed it on the red carpet but saw it last night on FP. All I can say is, “*** was she thinking?”</p>

179

<p>Seth Macfarlane apparently drew a younger, more male audience than past hosts, which is what he was supposed to do. But at least one 82-year-old lady thinks he was marvelous. That’s what one of the seniors at my center said today - “Wasn’t he marvelous! Such a good singer and so handsome!” She said it was the first time in ages she’d watched the entire show. I got the impression that some of the jokes were out of her frame of reference. :)</p>

<p>It must be one of the toughest jobs in show business. People seem to remember hosts more fondly with the passage of time (though David Letterman will probably never fully come back from the Yma Uma thing). I used to think that Neil Patrick Harris wouldn’t be a terrific fit for the job, though I love him. Now I think that he deserves a try.</p>

<p>When does retro become vintage? Is it retro if its from the 60s- 80s and vintage of 50s or earlier?</p>
