i wanna wear that: golden globes edition

dresses! dresses! dresses! dresses!

dude, there were some incredible frocks on the red carpet at sunday's golden globes. from angie to tilda to viola to idris and back again, the stars brought it. hard!

but hollywood is a tough business, folks, and only a few are good enough to make it on my best dressed list. (and, no, sarah michelle gellar, you sure as shit aren't one of them. i mean, really? tip dyed?) it's sad, i know; but not everyone's a winner are they, lea michele?

[in the distance, a trumpet sounds]

and then there were five (in no particular order)...

angelia jolie in atelier versace
(seriously, angie? christ. perfection)

emma stone in lanvin
(that's an eagle belt! AN EAGLE BELT! swoon!)

charlize theron in dior couture
& a cartier headband (c. 1920, museum piece)

michelle williams in jason wu
& a fred leighton headband

the stunning idris elba (with his globe for best actor, "luther")

in a double-breasted suit (designer unknown)
& christian louboutin roller boat sneakers

who else impressed? here are the runners-up:

viola davis (could this woman's complexion be any flawless-er? probably not.)

leonardo dicaprio

nicole kidman

diane lane

octavia spencer

tilda swinton (once again in haider ackermann)

sofia vergara (best mermaid gown of the night!)

congratulations, stars! keep it up for the sags & oscars, k? K?!

i wanna wear that: michelle williams

she never gets it wrong. ever. (no, you're right: she definitely missed the mark in valentino resort at last year's golden globes.) and here she is getting it right, yet again, in karl lagerfeld for chanel at thursday's critics's choice awards.

swoon.

note: this has received über-mixed reviews, but for me, elizabeth olsen's emilio pucci is a close second.

i wanna wear that: ginnifer goodwin

listen, i don't really know what ginnifer goodwin is good for. i mean, "big love" gave me the creeps; and i have it on good authority that, while entertaining, "once upon a time" is really, really bad. that said, this young lady knows how to rock a pixie haircut and the red carpet.

case in point: she wow'd at last night's people's choice awards in a ridiculously bright and insanely fabulous roksanda ilincic. this is exactly how you dress for an awards show that's, let's be honest, kinda meaningless. it's fun, yet chic, yet whimsical, yet classic.

well fucking played, ginnifer. like, whoa.

in other, unexpected news: the usually poor-postured miley cyrus showed up last night looking unusually-fresh and UNLIKE a 45-year old in a spring/summer 2012 dress by david koma! it's a post-holiday miracle!

i wanna wear that: angelina jolie

this is angelina jolie. and - yawn, i know - she's killing it in head-to-toe salvatore ferragamo (leather!) at last night's new york film critic's circle awards.

now this is what signature style looks like.

per. fec. tion.

i wanna wear that: elizabeth olsen

as you know, there are two things that i really, really love: fashion & celebrities. so, every now and again, i will post pics of celebs wearing shit that i love.

...i submit to you a new 3pies4rolls feature: i wanna wear that.

we begin with elizabeth olsen, lil' sis of the previously better-known mary-kate & ahley, and the breakout star of critical darling martha, marcy, may, marlene.

she is ROCKIN' the menswear look for her appearance on "live! with kelly" - a wide-leg, high-waisted trouser (my fave pant!), a classic, white oxford shirt and a pair of killer cutler and gross (i think) sunglasses.

LOVE!

Awards season is in full swing...

...and all we can say is "eh." Is anyone else just pretty bored by the movies and subsequent awards this year? I mean, don't get me wrong, there have been some really good movies this year. I will have no trouble making a top ten (other than my normal issue of keeping it to ten). but there have been very few that i have died for, that i've just walked out of the theater having been completely enraptured. i normally have at least a couple of those experiences over a movie season, but I'm running out of things to watch. which is issue number one.

Issue number two is that there is no suspense. you've already heard my rant about The Social Network. I can't see any movie beating it at the Oscars, and that just bums me out. But it's also the acting categories. Can anyone beat Firth or Portman? I don't think so. (a different question than should anyone beat Firth or Portman- I was the biggest Firth supporter of all last year because he was phenomenal in A Single Man, and, while he's great in The King's Speech, I do believe Franco's better; and don't even get me started on Michelle Williams). Do Bale and Melissa Leo have it wrapped up for the supporting awards? The only big category where there's really suspense is Original Screenplay, because, frankly, The Social Network can only win for Adapted.

Does any of this mean that we weren't glued to the TV for the Golden Globes (freaking out over a technical glitch that delayed our watching) or that I won't be getting my ass up at 5:30am tomorrow to see the Oscar nominations announced live? No. But I'm not a normal movie watcher.

As far as the Golden Globes went, I think my sister put it perfectly in an e-mail to the 3pies4rolls crew: "have you two been seeing all of the stuff people have been writing about how ricky gervais went too far at the GGs? i wonder what it says about me that instead of thinking that i kinda thought he was boring." Agreed, Nanc. It was just all a bit yawnsville.

There were some highlights. my two favorite parts of the evening:

But, I mean, even the fashion was boring:
