OSCAR!

Sunday is a big day. Well, for a few very lucky people. It's Oscar time, baby! And all I can do is think about what it would be like to dance in their shoes for just one day. Imagine it. You wake up with intense butterflies (I would assume) and the whole day is a fuss all about YOU. There is the Oscar Nom brunch where they sip mimosas and pretend to the rest of the room they aren't daydreaming of delivering that acceptance speech later that evening.

Then, the real fuss begins. Hair, makeup, cocktails, accessories, more butterflies, calls from mom, and pesky voicemails from other nominees that read, "'You've got to watch your back. I'm gonna cut you. I'm gonna take you down," (Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep have had quite the fun rivalry this year).

It is interesting the kind of buzz that this over the top Prom generates. Suddenly blogs pop up EVERYWHERE. People HAVE to air their personal picks to the web. Shows about Oscar fashion can be found on just about any cable network days before the big night. Mags like People, US Weekly, etc. carry stories of past hair do's and don'ts and who came with who. It's definitely it's own monster. And who can forget the hosts?

Billy Crystal, Ellen DeGeneres, David Letterman, Whoopi Goldberg, Jon Steward, Hugh Jackman, and Bob Hope have all taken us on the Oscar journey through the years. Each bringing their own brand of comedy and flare. This year we'll get to see Steve Martin team up with Alec Baldwin...two of my favorite funny men. :)

Perhaps the best part about Oscar night isn't so much who wins the gold statue but who you're with while you celebrate your favorite actor/actress/movie. This year I will be in Plano with a totally new group of friends. We'll be eating chocolate covered strawberries and sipping on the golden bubbly as we pick apart the gowns, the hair, the jokes, and yell for our favorite underdogs. QUENTIN T.!!!! Be forewarned, if I drink enough champagne I might cry when they show the annual "stars we've lost" video. :(

So, grab your kleenex, your friends, your popcorn, your bubbly, and whatever else you'll need and settle in for a great night of fashion, fun, and winners and losers. Although, come on...nobody that steps foot in the historic Kodak Theatre is a loser. ;)
