The Oscars bring us timeless performances by noted actors. The history made at this annual event is cherished for generations to come. Outfits are analyzed, behind the scene drama is discussed in hushed whispers, and there are always some surprises. Likewise, each of these categories has their own best and worst.
Oscar Charisma
Best: Kate Winslet was the ultimate Daddy’s girl in a touching acceptance speech given after her Oscar for Best Actress in “The Reader”. During her speech, Kate thanked her parents and asked her dad to “whistle or something” so she knew where they were. The piercing whistle that followed was a moment fitting for a story tale.
Worst: ‘Mamma Mia!’ star Amanda Seyfried and ‘Twilight’ hunk Robert Pattinson are two young Hollywood stars that showed absolutely no charisma. Awkward moments were created by their inability to even pretend that they were interested in what they were talking about.
Light Hearted Moments
Best: ‘Man on Wire’ subject Philippe Petit, balanced the Oscar statuette upside-down on his chin. It was a pure, celebratory moment. Congratulations, Philippe, you just made Oscar history.
Worst: Not only did presenter Jennifer Aniston have to deliver some lame patter with Jack Black, but she had to do it mere feet away from front row attendees “Brangelina”. Talk about uncomfortable! The tension of the situation was easily read her face.
Best and Worst Dressed
Best: Sarah Jessica Parker. Ethereal off-white was the color of the evening, and (not surprisingly) Sarah Jessica Parker wore it best.
Worst: Miley Cyrus. Miley showed up at this year’s Academy Awards to promote her movie ‘Bolt’, which was nominated for Best Animated Film. Already seemingly out of place at the prestigious Academy Awards, her fish-like ensemble didn’t help the situation.
