ACADEMY AWARDS 2012 RECAP!

The biggest awards show took place last night at the Nokia Theatre featuring the biggest movies being recognized for outstanding achievement in the film world. Billy Crystal hosted the ceremony for the ninth time. I honestly have to say that I enjoyed watching the Oscars more than the Grammys, even though I hardly watched any of the films!

There were two best moments of the night for me. One was when Octavia Spencer won Best Supporting Actress for The Help, seeing her breakdown upon accepting her award brought tears to my eyes! Also when Meryl Streep won for Best Actress in The Iron Lady. After being nominated for so many times, she finally won her third Oscar. Seeing her officially be recognized for her achievements as an actress for all these years was truly heartwarming, she is such a beautiful woman.

If you missed the show last night, here are a list of the winners and the contenders in every category: http://oscar.go.com/nominees


Who can forget the best dressed of the night?! A trend on the red carpet were the fair colors such as whites, creams, and silvers.


Octavia Spencer looked lovely in a silver sparkly Tadashi Shoji gown.

Viola Davis looked so perfect in an emerald green Vera Wang gown.

Maya Rudolph looked amazing in Johanna Johnson, I love this gown so much!

Emma Stone looked like an Oscar, but red of course in a bow necked Giambattista Valli dress.

Angelina Jolie definitely looked beautiful on the red carpet in a black Versace gown with a high slit, BUT her right leg thrusting out of every picture was not too cute...really, every picture though?

Rooney Mara is just a naturally stunning looking person. She looked so beautiful in a white Givenchy gown straight off the runway.

Jennifer Lopez was my BEST DRESSED OF THE NIGHT! She looked so stunning in this Zuhair Murad gown that fit her body so perfectly and showed off her glow so well.

I love how the creams and whites are making their way onto the red carpet, not only is it fresh but it's just perfect for Spring which is awaiting!

Actress Viola Davis Moves Up Social Ladder; Sits Between Guru Stylist Andre Leon Talley and Vogue's Anna Wintour

VIOLA DAVIS is on the move!

She was spotted at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week/ New York Fashion Week with her husband, and sitting between Anna Wintour from VOGUE and Andre Leon Talley, one of the bigwig stylists. must be really nice to sit between two fashion powerhouses.

By the way, Viola Davis is now a world-renowned actress after she won an Oscar for her outstanding performance in movie 'The Help.' Viola was also featured on VOGUE not too long ago.

VIOLA DAVIS Graces Her S.A.G. Win In Angelic MARCHESA Gown

Congrats to VIOLA DAVIS for winning one of the coveted spots for Screen Actors Guild Awards, leading role for Actress (for her role in 'The Help')! Her reaction to the win was priceless; I felt her triumphant spirit as well as her humbleness as she made her way, close-lipped, to the stage.

Viola's skin positively glowed under the lights, or perhaps the win actually made her skin glow (sometimes that can happen) as she gathered her words carefully. All Viola could've done was just stand there in her glorious MARCHESA gown and that would just be enough. Makeup and antiqued gold accessories further enhanced the gown and fit her perfectly, like a beautiful African princess.

Octavia Spencer and Viola Davis (From 'The Help') For W Magazine

I found these great photos of Octavia Spencer and Viola Davis, actresses from the acclaimed movie 'The Help', and they've both done a photo shoot for W Magazine. Photos via Fashion Bomb Daily.

The objective of the shoot was to just capture a very simple, moment-in-time essence of these two beautiful balck women. I'm liking Octavia's (above) dramatic hair and mysterious emotion, as well as Viola's (below) mixed elegance and sensuality.

This photo shoot was truly art in human form.
