The Big O...

Not talking about Oprah silly :p The Oscars!!!
Whatta clean sweep for Slumdog Millionaire!!! 8 Oscars! Jai Ho! (Originally wanted that to be the title, but then I wouldnt ve been able to say the bit about Oprah you see ;) )

I am so kicked and proud of Rahman and Resul and Gulzar and rest of the Indian cast and crew! Kudos to Danny Boyle for putting Bollywood and Mumbai on the international map with such elan, a total of more than 100 awards to its credit! Wowie! Way to go Slumdog!!! And the kids were the stars on the red carpet!!! ( A D O R A B L E)

Now for my favorite part of the Oscars, the fashion quotient! I love watching the women wear those gorgeous gowns and walk the red carpet (If I ever do it, it ll be a deep bottle green gown, off shoulders, satin with clean cuts! Preferably Armani) Anyway so here is my list (like anybody cares what I think, but hey, its my blog!) of great dressers aka Wowers (No need to elaborate on that I hope), boring dressers (Ones who didnt look that bad but we have seen that look before) and the losers!(absoultely atrocious)
Wowers - Miley Cyrus (That dress was a WOWER!), Natalie Portman (elegant and non fussy!), Kate Winslet (Classy, asymmetrical number!) Ann Hatway (Gorgeous Swarovski crystals studded gown!), Penelope Cruz (Loved that wedding gown :) )
Heidi Klum, Amy Adams, Vanessa Hudgens and Marrisa Tomei all looked nice!
Boring - Angelina Jolie (Whats with the boring black dress with ridiculous hairdo? Only the emeralds were worth looking at..I mean, you dont ve to wear your gown the other way around to get our attention, but atleast do something interesting!) Sarah Jessica Parker (It seems like, she has worn the same stuff before! Bleuch!) Frieda Pinto (Dirty blue lace, really? I mean its not even royal blue..better luck next girly..if there is one ie!) Jennifer Aniston (She almost made it to the losers category, trust me! So boring!)
Losers - Beyonce (N u designed that yourself!!! Gasp! Why dont you just sing girlie!), Jessica Biel (With that hot figure, why would anybody drape a frumpy satin towel like that?) Taraji Somebody (Dont even know who she is and what she wore looks loserly!)

So thats that people :D Lets all say Jai Ho...leaving you with the lyrics...

Jai Ho!
Aaja aaja jind shamiyaane ke taley
Aaja zari waale neele aasmaane ke taley
Jai Ho!

Ratti ratti sachchi maine jaan gawayi hai
Nach Nach koylon pe raat bitaayi hai
Ankhiyon ki neend maine phoonkon se udaa di
Gin gin taarey maine ungli jalayi hai

Eh Aaja aaja jind shamiyaane ke taley
Aaja zari waale neele aasmaane ke taley

Baila! Baila! (Dance! Dance!)
Ahora conmigo, tu baila para hoy (Now with me, you dance for today)
Por nuestro dia de movidas, (For our day of moves,)
los problemas los que sean (whatever problems may be)
Salud! (Cheers!)
Baila! Baila! (Dance! Dance!)

Jai Ho!
Chakh le, haan chakh le, yeh raat shehed hai Chakh le,
haan rakh le, Dil hai, dil aakhri hadd hai, rakh le
Kaala kaala kaajal tera Koi kaala jaadu hai na?

Aaja aaja jind shamiyaane ke taley
Aaja zari waale neele aasmaane ke taley
Jai Ho!

Kab se haan kab se jo lab pe ruki hai
Keh de, keh de, haan keh de
Ab aankh jhuki hai Aisi aisi
roshan aankhein Roshan dono heerey hain kya?

Aaja aaja jind shamiyaane ke taley
Aaja zari waale neele aasmaane ke taley
Jai Ho!
~A R Rahman & Gulzar~

That Dev Patel was so good with the kids! Shucks, i think i'll take down witick and put him up. Or maybe they can co-exist peacefully on my door.
