And the best Oscar Sound of Music bit goes to...

I had to do something Oscars related today, and since seeing the shout-out to Sound of Music that only a fan would get made me so happy, I thought I would mention that.

It was a long telecast, and I didn't enjoy all of it (don't get me started on Anne Hathaway and Michelle Obama), however, since Chase and I visited the Dolby Theatre last year, I do have a fondness for the Academy Awards and the excitement of good movies.

Also, on another side-note, we saw all the nominated films this year except Amour, and it was a great year for films. I am glad Argo won, but Chase and I talked about it after, and we will own all the nominated films except Amour and Beasts of the Southern Wild. I don't know why that film got so much love, it was just too much for me. It made no sense.

I also thought I would give some time to talking about my best and worst dressed picks.

Best Dressed:



Kerry Washington. I love her on Scandal (it's a ridiculously amazing and addicting show) and I thought everyone was kind of boring this year and her dress stood out in a good way.

Worst Dressed:



Kristen Stewart. So here's the thing, she is extremely skinny and not a hefty person at all, yet this dress is so unflattering and makes her look a lot bigger than she is. She should've shopped around more.

While Seth McFarlane did better than I expected, I still wish Tina and Amy could host everything.
