The Glitz, The Glam - The Oscars!

The 84th Academy Awards show is airing on Sunday night. I'm not an Oscar lover, I don't throw a party or make sure to watch all the nominated films ahead of time but it is one of the award shows that I pay more attention too. I'm thrilled that Billy Crystal is the host this year. I've always thought he's done a great job and it also takes me back to watching the awards as a teenager (he hosted in 1990–1993, 1997, 1998, 2000, and 2004), when staying up to watch felt a bit more exciting.

And then of course there is the fashion. I think the dresses garner almost as much attention as the nominees! I have to admit that I would love to get all dressed up like that and attend a glamorous party. Imagine...a hairstylist and a makeup person focused solely on making you look spectacular! Anyone else think that would be lovely? Pretty sure I know the answer to that!

These were some of last year's favourite dresses.

I can't wait to see what the cast of The Help will be wearing. There is so much focus on that movie that I am sure those ladies will be on the best dressed list. And I hope they win, it was a great film (but I've only seen three of the nine best picture nominees).

Will you be watching on Sunday night? If so, will you be watching for the awards or the dresses?
