#Oscars Okay everyone’s going crazy over Lupita Nyong’o’s Cinderella blue dress. It is gorgeous and of course she’s… http://t.co/Gw8FSePp7h

…lovely in it, but I think she should have done another jewel tone which really makes her skin tone pop and definitely lose the headband. Of course this is just knit picky cause the bottom line is I’m SO HAPPY LUPITA WON! What an amazing year for this new comer who is redefining Hollywood beauty. And what a poised, eloquent, perfect Oscar acceptance speech.

From the sublime to the… My brother posted this picture of Gabourey Sidibe, and I know it’s wrong, but this just really tickled my funny bone, and it’s still making me laugh!

The Stumblers Jennifer Lawrence on the red carpet & John Travolta over poor Idina Menzel’s name, made for some clever posts. Did you see this widget to Travolitify your own name?

Winners

Cate Blanchett as a boozing, socialite falling apart at the designer seams maybe my favorite character of the year.  Really liked the movie Blue Jasmine (click for T&T post). Definietly was on board with her picking up another Gold Statue!

Zeebox is a fun way to chat with people during any TV show, but particularly during Awards shows, you just join a chat room and start posting and replying;I love that your posts get turned into tweets, with the media attached, which makes for one less step during a Social Media Party!

One of the women in the chat room was super happy Matthew Mcconaughey won for Best Actor in a Leading Role.  I was rooting for Chiwetel Ejiofor, but McConaughey did earned it too, not just losing 40lbs, but it’s was a demanding role in other ways. Plus, he’s my Mom’s crush 😉

Posting my review of 20 Feet From Stardom after it won for Best Doc brought a lot of traffic to the site.

#Oscars why isn’t @AmericanHustle up for hair and makeup?

American Hustle (T&T post)

But who can complain when 12 Years A Slave won for Best Picture! It was really looking like a Gravity Landslide.
