Oscar Moments
There were so many awards shows this year crammed into the last couple of months, that the Oscars seemed like an afterthought, rather than the pinnacle. Was it any surprise that Oppenheimer took home the lions share of the awards? And nothing could have topped this year’s Grammy Awards, but this year’s Oscar show had its moments. Jimmy Kimmel was an affable host and we liked that the presentations for the actors’ awards were given out by past winners who each talked about the actor who was nominated. A nice touch. Here were our three favorite moments, plus our favorite gowns of the evening too.
Favorite Moment #1. I’m just Ken.
How can you not love Ryan Gosling. The guy is adorable, and we loved how the Barbie cast had so much with his performance.
Da’Vine Joy Randolph was Divine!
We loved her performance in The Holdovers and her very moving acceptance piece. And she also pulled off that blue gown with the puff sleeves amazingly well!
Emma Stone was the surprise winner.
She wasn’t expected to win, but there you go. She is always a joy to watch and she handled her dress malfunction really well too.
Our favorite gowns of the evening.
There were some very elegant and classic choices. Since all these actresses have stylists and every designer wanting to dress them, there are fewer bad choices or outlandish gowns. Here were a few of our favorites.
Da'Vine Joy Randolph
Jennifer Lawrence
Jamie Lee Curtis
Cary Mulligan
Rita Moreno
Margot Robbie
Emma Stone
Lupita Nyong'o
America Ferrera
Anya Taylor-Joy
Melissa McCarthy
The tomato behind The Three Tomatoes.
Cheryl Benton, aka the “head tomato” is founder and publisher of The Three Tomatoes, a digital lifestyle magazine for “women who aren’t kids”. Having lived and worked for many years in New York City, the land of size zero twenty-somethings, she was truly starting to feel like an invisible woman. She created The Three Tomatoes just for the fun of it as the antidote for invisibility and sent it to 60 friends. Today she has thousands of friends and is chief cheerleader for smart, savvy women who want to live their lives fully at every age and every stage. She is the author of the novel, "Can You See Us Now?" and co-author of a humorous books of quips, "Martini Wisdom." Because she's lived a long time, her full bio won't fit here.
