Last night the stars really stuck with classic beauty and the mermaid gown. Although I think it's funny to see a woman try to walk in a slim-fitting mermaid silhouette, it can look amazing when done right. Take Sofia Vergara (Modern Family) in this Vera Wang custom gown:

A trend for the fellas last night was the navy blue tux which I think was stunning. It must be tough for the guys to do anything but the classic black look and I really like this one, as seen on Episodes star and winner last night, Matt LeBlanc:

I didn't think there were any real surprise winners. (See the list here) But what I do realize is just how many high calibre television shows are being made on non-major networks. Read: networks I do not get. I am going to have to start hunting for shows like Episodes and Homeland.
Also, I now have a massive list of movies to see. One thing I don't like is how many movies are nominated for award shows that have yet to be released. I can't wait to see The Iron Lady, The Descendants, and My Week with Marilyn, just to name a few. I love that Octavia Spencer won for her role in The Help but I think the cast got missed in other categories. That was an amazing film in my opinion.
There was a lot of buzz and probably fear in the industry about what host Ricky Gervais would do or say last night after last year's performance. I thought he killed it last year and although he was funny last night, too tame for my liking. I think most of those celebs can be taken down a peg or two and he's great at it!
My only question, how can I get a job as a seat filler? Bucket List.
