We couldn’t imagine anything topping the Angelina Jolie leg that made up the 2012 Oscars. Boy, were we proven wrong. From crazy hair to JLaw’s trip up the stairs to the controversial musical theme, this year’s event was one to remember. In the style of The Clique series, we’ve made the 2013 Oscars In and Out List.
IN
Draco Malfoy’s dad’s hair
Long, golden locks were really popular among the…men? This trend, sported by both men and women, must be a good luck charm. Hey Harry, four (Oscars) for Slytherin. Which brings us to…
Dance
Although we can all admit that the intro was obnoxiously long, the unscripted “dancing with the stars” was interesting to say the least. The magical partnership of Harry Potter and Robin, and the beautiful pairing of Channing and Ellen (whoops we mean Charlize Theron) was like watching Taylor Swift attempt acting. Awkward, but mildly entertaining.
Reese Witherspoon’s Hair
Undoubtedly, this past Oscar winner got us raving over her luscious, blonde locks. By wearing her hair in the style of the season–perfectly polished mermaid waves–Reese keeps her classic look modern. Juniors take notes: this bouncy and glossy hair style is sure to have some copycats in the upcoming prom season.
Jennifer Lawrence
After landing the lead role in The Hunger Games trilogy, we would never have pegged Jennifer Lawrence to be winning an Academy Award for Best Actress. But, her breakout performance in Silver Linings Playbook proved us wrong. And who can blame her for tripping while on her way to accepting her Oscar with all that fabric?! To some, the Dior Couture dress looked bridal, but we’ve got to admit, Katniss was looking good.
OUT
The Mullet Dress
Seriously Anne Hathaway? The “business in the front party in the back” mullet is a hairstyle from the 80’s, not a dress.
Pixie Cuts
Anne Hathaway is really tearing up this Outs list. I know she got it cut for the Les Mis role, but her hair is taking really long to grow. Pixie cuts just seem like a waste to us when we see the hair potential of Anne or Charlize. You know who really needs a pixie cut? Kristen Stewart.
Kristen Stewart’s Awkward Behavior
Let’s be real, when has she ever been In? She looked like she didn’t want to be there, her hair was disheveled, and she was limping all over the place; she was a total mess. I am still trying to figure out who invited her. Did she really expect to show up as a presenter of the biggest award show of the year looking like she just rolled out of bed? Alright Kristin, the Twilight movies are over, you can stop acting like Bella Swan.
Seth’s jokes
“Django Unchained, this is the story of a man fighting to get back his woman, who’s been subjected to unthinkable violence. Or as Chris Brown and Rihanna call it, a date movie.”
Wow Seth, we haven’t heard that one before…
“Daniel Day-Lewis is not the first actor to be nominated for playing Lincoln. Raymond Massey portrayed him in 1940′s Abe Lincoln in Illinois. I would argue, though, the actor who really got inside Lincoln’s head was John Wilkes Booth.
Really, 150 years and it’s still too soon? I’ve got some Napoleon jokes coming up–you guys are going to be so mad.”
Ok, why was that the joke that silenced the crowd? We actually got a few chuckles out of his historical pun.
George Clooney’s Beard
I didn’t know Stacy Keibler was bringing her grandpa to the Oscars! At least, the Best Picture director, Ben Affleck, had the sense to shave off his grizzly beard — his “good luck charm” for the award season–at an after party. Now, can someone please pass the clippers to George?
Michelle Obama
First it was Bill Clinton at the Golden Globes, now Michelle at the Oscars? We know politicians are good actors, but keep the White House out of Hollywood.
Staying up late
The unnecessarily long introduction about boobs extended the time slot to around 12 a.m. And of course, the four major awards were handed out in the last five minutes of the show. Remind me why I stayed up for this?
