An Academy Award Sized Giveaway

As most of you all know, tomorrow night is the biggest night of the year for Hollywood. The night is filled with gorgeous dresses, witty jokes, and lots of good looking guys in tuxedos.

 Academy Awards 2009: Best Dressed on the Red Carpet

I’m excited for the night and have even convinced Bo to watch it with me. I am so excited for this year’s hosts, James Franco and Anne Hathaway. While their humor will probably be far different than Steve Martin, Billy Crystal, and Alex Baldwin I expect it will be very entertaining!

If you want to watch but depend on your computer for television shows, I found out online that you can live stream the show on the Associated Press AP Live Site.

Normally, we do our best to see as many of the Oscar films as possible before the big night but this year we’ve only seen a few: Black Swan, The Kids are Alright, Inception (Bo only), Toy Story 3, and The Social Network (me only).

While we aren’t hosting a party this year, I received some great tips from the folks at Yoplait for a perfect Oscar Evening.

How to Get Your Home In Oscar Shape

  • Set up a photo area in your home – it could simply be a corner of your living room – where each guest can take their own ‘red carpet’ photo.
  • ·Pick a signature cocktail for the evening for something extra special.
  • ·Play a game with your guests and vote on who you think will win each award.

How to Make Yourself Red Carpet Ready

How to Get Ready for a Big Event – Fashion Tips from Jeannie Mai

Celebrity stylist, host of the Style Network’s “How Do I Look?” and Yoplait Light Two Week Tune Up spokesperson Jeannie Mai tells us how to get red-carpet ready:

  • The Dress: When picking a dress for your Oscar party, pick styles that show off your best assets. If you have great arms, show them off with a sleeveless look or try something like a wrap-dress to accentuate your curves.  An added bonus of a cocktail dress is that it can be transformed from casual to formal with a little help from accessories – so you could wear your dress to work, add accessories and hit a party.
  • Adding Glamour: You don’t have to spend a fortune to add a little flare to your outfit.  Try adding a broach, a statement necklace or fabulous earrings and colorful scarf to add some glamour to your dress.
  • Feeling Confident: Looking your best is also about feeling your best. With only a few days left before the Oscars, try a quick tune-up to give you that extra boost of confidence.
  • Shoes: Shoes are also an important part of your overall look. A pair of high heel shoes can give you added height making you look not only taller, but slimmer. Your shoes can instantly transform from casual to formal as well. Wear a classic pair of black or solid color pumps for day. Then to jazz them up for night – take a pair of pretty clip-on earrings and clip them onto the front of your shoes.  It’s a great way to add some glitz to polish off your look.
