Beautiful and Original

Although ELLEN DEGENERES, this year host of the Oscars, wore suits during the whole night, first a red velvet suit and later a black one, it sorprised me the general look of strapless neckline in women gowns: BEYONCE in strapless Armani Privé, REESE WITHERSPOON in strapless Nina Ricci, KATE WINSLET in strapless Valentino, and so on.
It was Australian NICOLE KIDMAN that pleasantly sorprised with her Balenciaga non strapless red gown. Beautiful.

First Award for Costume Design goes to...

The first Academy Awards Ceremony took place in Hollywood in May 16th 1929, at 8pm East Coast time. Douglas Fairbanks was the Academy President. But it isn't until 1948 that the Academy started valuing the work of Costume Designers.The first Costume Design Award went to Irene Lentz for B.F.'s Daughter [b/w] and to great Edith Head and Gile Steele for The Emperor Waltz [color].

78 years later, in this 79th annual Academy Awards, Milena Canonero wins the Costume Academy Award for Marie Antoinete.
CONGRATULATIONS MILENA, you really deserve it.
