turns out i'm pretty bad at multitasking. i got a long-term substitute position in march and while it was great to be working, it was hard to find time for things like blogging. and nearly everything else. it's winding down now and as i'm about to graduate from my master's program, i have more time. i'm going to be catching up for a while so bear with me.
while i'm getting back into the hang of things, you can see what i'm up to here:

side note: it's always a nice reminder of how long i've been gone to log into blogger and see that it's all changed! what the what?!

oscars 2012
i had big plans to watch all of the must-see movies of the oscar season. here's how i did:
oh well, i still enjoyed the show!
we all put in our votes at our little party and there were a few categories i agonized over.
i just could not decide on a director and i was torn between george and jean for best actor. i started out on a roll, and i was 3 for 3 before it all went downhill.
as you can see, i bombed on the first half of the show. also, does anyone know the difference between sound mixing and sound editing? jessie m., i'm looking at you
i thought i had the screenplays totally set. i was so bummed about bridesmaids! although i loved midnight in paris, i was really rooting for those girls.
i was super shocked about the viola/meryl shakeup. i thought viola had it in the bag! i also thought that george's performance was so great in its subtleties. no problems with jean winning, though. could he be any cuter?
i lost miserably, and my dad won with 17 correct guesses! here's to better luck next year!
i thought billy was pretty good. not his best, but much better than last year. my favorite part was the vignettes of actors talking about movies. i could watch those for hours. it's fascinating! i so loved reese admitting her go-to-feel-good movie was Overboard! i love that movie!
what did you think? any surprises? any disappointments?
on to the gowns--
rose byrne. still loving the hair and really loving those sequins.
penelope cruz. anyone else getting a grace kelly vibe? so lovely and unexpected.
octavia spencer. just amazing. this picture does not do it justice! the beading was just exquisite on tv.
natalie portman. polka dots! i want to know what her anti-aging secret is. she looks amazing!
milla jovovich. i loved this dress. the styling was also so great.
viola davis. i love anything green, that's a given. but still, she looked so beautiful.
michelle williams. beautiful color, fun shape. not a fan of the pink purse + red dress.
maya rudolph. maybe not the most amazing dress of the night, but the color looks great on her and i loved her hair/makeup.
kristin wiig. phew! i was so worried about what she was going to wear but this far exceeded my expectations. i just wish she would branch out and wear some color--she loves her nudes.
jessica chastain. stunning. the dress is one of a kind, and i think her hair was the best all night. so romantic and not fussy.
busy phillips aka best friend of the year. this didn't get a lot of attention but i absolutely love the grey + lace. something i would wear.
stacy kiebler. this dress looked like liquid gold. great choice for her. plus her hair and makeup are so pretty.
emma stone. who cares if it's not original? she looks great and it's a beautiful dress!
cameron diaz. so simple and so pretty. i'm loving her new short hair and those arms that are an inspiration!
berenice bejo. just so beautiful and ethereal.
gwyneth paltrow. shutting. it. down. i'll be the first to admit that gwynnie does not always make the best fashion choices. but when she gets it right, she really gets it. the cape is awesome and the dress is even better on its own.
bonus round!
i found these pictures from the after parties and just had to include them:
kate hudson.
rashida jones.
cameron diaz.
claire danes.
diane kruger.
lily collins.
nina dobrev. the lone black dress in a sea of color.
what's your favorite dress? did i miss any?

grammys 2012
i don't usually watch the grammys but i wanted to see adele perform so i tuned in. i remembered why i don't watch them--it was so boring! there were only a few performances that i enjoyed [adele, jennifer hudson, katy perry, paul mccartney, adam levine's beach boys tribute] and i mostly fast-forwarded the rest. the red carpet was so hit and miss. there were a lot of crazy outfits but a few good ones stood out.
taylor swift. such a different dress for her! i had to include the back, it's so pretty!
jessie j. aside from her too-severe bangs, i love this look. the metallic is awesome.
carrie underwood. also very different from her usual but i love it. it was hard to tell what the texture was but it's so pretty.
katy perry. i'm a huge fan so i was so excited to see her--even though she sang my very least favorite song ever. her new song sounded great and i thought she looked so beautiful on the red carpet. i do wish she would go back to a less crazy hair color--the blonde was so cute!
adele. didn't even recognize her! love the new hair, sassy makeup and gorgeous dress! it sparkled so beautifully on screen.
and her other outfit. love the polka dots! i was so moved by her performance but even more so by the audience's reaction. i love to see artists supporting other artists. she even made rihanna cry!
did you watch? what was your favorite performance?

Screen Actors Guild Awards 2012
i love watching the SAG awards. it's shorter, the "i'm an actor" bits are fun, and everyone seems to appreciate the awards a bit more because they're from other actors. i also loved seeing all of the friendships. some are a given, like these ladies--
or these.
and some are more surprising, like octavia spencer from the help and josh hopkins from cougartown.

and how about these best friends?

busy philipps (also from cougartown--see you on feb 14 guys!) has been michelle williams' date for all of the recent award shows. love.
viola davis. stunning. and best acceptance speech of the night.
loved these girls' dresses:
sarah hyland and
ariel winter (modern family)
shailene woodley- i loved how her dress matched her movie even if it wasn't the most flattering cut.
lea michele. i'm not including the full body shot because her leg is just too much. but her hair is so pretty and i love the bodice of her dress.
maya rudolph. lovely.
michelle williams. the lace is a nice touch.
jessica chastain. beautiful color. when the camera cut to her emotional reaction to viola's speech, i almost lost it.
jayma mays. huge fan of glitter.
emma stone. a bit crazy but she looks super cute.
and i always have to include my favorite couple, emily and john. not to mention the amazingness that is her green gown.
kelly osbourne. i just love those shoulders!
dianna agron. beautiful color and cut. and i love her braided hair.
ashlee simpson. surprised to see her and even more surprised at how great she looked!
rose byrne. a pantsuit! i am really digging her whole look.
and how cute is this guy? he is my new celebrity crush. the accent doesn't hurt. [jean dujardin]
did you watch? what did you think?
