Oscars Report! (PART TWO)

AND HERE IT IS!!!!! The most SPECTACULAR Oscar photo ever of Bill and Elsita!!!! The only unfortunate thing is that couple filling up 99% of the picture. I cannot understand why some couples just want to steal all the attention from other couples!!! These two people (no idea who they are) decided to stand there and be the center of attention for several minutes. There is nothing to do about it, these things happen all the time :o

YAY!!!!!!! Let's give a 10 to the Indiana Jones man!!!!! I already told you the story about how I meet Harrison Ford for the first time. This man has all my admiration and respect and love for being sooo real. His partner Calista Flockhart is always polite and formal. I have never talked with her in order to get the feeling of how she is but she seems to be a great person. Thank you Calista for loving your man! And thank you Harrison for loving her back! Viva el amor!!!

Harrison Ford and I had one thing in common the night of the Oscars: we desperetely needed a glass of water! Before we all got to see each other Harrison and Calista and Bill and I walked to the same place looking for a glass of water right after we got to the second floor of the theatre. Harrison arrived two seconds before I did and got his water but when I asked for the same thing I was told that they weren't still open :o Thank you Mister Waiter, there is always the restroom where water is found in unlimited quantities! But before the restroom we shaked hands with Harrison Ford and his girl, they were looking really happy together! :)

So, after I found the source of water and came back to the big room we went to our sits and got ready for the fun spectacle. Tara Taraaaa!!! Everything started and in my opinion our host Jon Stewart was really funny. He made everyone laugh so much!

And here is when all the unexpected things start happening to some members of the audience and I am going to tell you one of them: An old man who seemed to be one of the members of the academy, sitting a few feet away from us needed to go out for a sec and on his way back he fell down and broke his front head. In less than a second two paramedics arrived with a wheelchair in order to take him away but he said NO WAY! They really tried to convince him about leaving the place but he was firm and said the word NO several times, the paramedics then realized that he wasn't going to move at all so they left promising to come back if he felt like leaving. Now the old man's companion (this beautiful girl who was probably his granddaughter) took good care of his wound and he stopped bleeding, in the end the cut was really tiny. He enjoyed the rest of the event and we were all happy for him!!! Great job old man, just because you're old it doesn't mean that they have to carry you away in a wheelchair as if you were a criminal!

Now two words about the girl up here in the picture: Cameron Diaz. She is such a GREAT dancer! When we were waiting for the show there was some energetic music playing and she was the only one in the whole place dancing, she could not resist the music and just looking at her made you want to dance too. And here I have the explanation to this: she has some Cuban blood since her father Emilio Diaz is a second generation Cuban-American. It is a very latino thing to move your body whenever there is music playing and I was happy to see that some of the musical cells from Emilio Diaz were passed to his beautiful daugher! let's give her a 10 for good dancer and for best smile too!

Now what happens during the commercial brakes? EVERYTHING HAPPENS! You get to know your neighbor; people get up and talk with each other. The stars get to say hi to their friends and hug each other and have little talks. Some people go to the restrooms. MANY people eat their snacks and MANY others feel like they are going to faint because they didn't bring anything to eat. The host makes the best jokes of the night. Little girls that come with their parents fall sleep or want to go home. People read the book that they always print for the event. Girls admire other girl's dresses... you won't believe it but many of my favorite dresses were not exactly from the stars but from other girls and I realized that most of them were vintage pieces found probably at thrift stores. Some of them were REALLY special, there was one in particular that I can still see clearly in my mind! The color was this antique pink, it's really hard to see a beautiful dress with this color that's why I was so impressed.

Now talking about the stars; these were some of my favorite dresses:

Amazing color, very subtle and smart.

So simple and elegant and fluid.

The work with the roses was AMAZING.

A work of art, sophisticated and perfect.

This one has to be seen in person, the picture doesn't make justice to it. The embroidery work was sooo beautiful!

Best shape, so feminine.

Beautiful and glamorous.

Spectacular and dramatic. It looked really amazing in motion.

And in this last picture you can see Alberto Iglesias (who got an Oscar nomination as I said before for the music that he created for The Kite Runner) and his beautiful girlfriend Cristina. She used to be a ballerina and now she goes to Film School, one day she might get her own Oscar!. And here is a nice detail: the dress that she is wearing is from Penelope Cruz! Doesn't she look beautiful! Let's give a 10 to Penelope Cruz for best friend! And another 10 to Cristina for most beautiful guest!!!

And now I have to say HASTA LUEGO!
But I will be back with more!
See you tomorrow!!!!!
Elsita :)

fun, fun, fun! Thanks for the behind the scenes story! Also, good for the old man!

[Han Fang]

Thanks so much again Elsita for sharing your experience!
The organisers run a tight ship and are very strict! Nobody's cup of tea but I guess they have.
Marion Cotillard looked fab at the BAFTAS too. Cate Blanchett and Renee Zellweger always look great too!!

[Mystele]

thank you for taking us there!

[Flassie]

I'm so glad the old gentleman was Ok!

Congratulattions to your friends!

Beautiful People, Beautiful Dresses!

I like the arrows showing where your husband
and yourself are standing in the photo.

I missed the first 20minutes of the Oscars
beacause my daughter and I went for a walk.
Our tv was a bit fuzzy so I am glad that you
are sharing the Oscars here.

If you get a chance check out a 3yr olds
movie review of Star Wars that I posted a
link to youtube on my blog this morning.
It's so cute! My daughter showed it to me
last night.

I hope you don't mind that I have a link
to your site on my blog. I have had links
in my favorites in the past and when the
computer crashed lost every link. I still
haven't been able to find some I use to have.
I figure I can't lose them if they are on my
blog. At least I hope not.

God Bless You and Your Family!!!

I thought I had seen you near Harrison Ford and now I know I was right. I recognized your beautiful hair. Your dress is just as beautiful as any of these and I give it a 10!!!!! I will hold you to that promise of designing Deborah's wedding dress in oh about a million years. I love old men ( don't tell my husband) . I think my favorite part of watching the oscars was to see and hear Gordon Parks. He was amazing. Is there going to be a part 3?

[mary]

And so the fun continues. I agree with Margie - will there be a part 3?

[Shael]

I was looking for you!! Thank-you for the behind the scenes... what a lucky girl you are to have been there for real! Did you get a good look at George Clooney?

[ron collins]

Hello, after a long pause!
Lois just texted me to tell me check out your review of the Oscars.
Good stuff!
Whilst I was on I decided to catch up on everything I'd missed.
The thing that stands out about you is your positive outlook on life.
Never lose it.
Love to you and your family. Ron Collins

Juicy!

You look beautiful in your dress, and I have to say that I was a giant dork and screamed when your friends won their Oscar.

Your photo "behind the red carpet" is hilarious. I kept looking for you while watching the red carpet show :)

[Gretchen]

Through a real person, artist's eyes!!! Oh, Elsita! You should have your own special hollywood reporters show - you're much more real, entertaining, funny and interesting! You see it, like I saw it! Gosh, sometimes I do miss my California home! :)
