Oscars 2012: And the Winners Are...



Octavia Spencer
Viola Davis
Women almost everywhere were checking out the clothes and hairstyles of other women at the Oscars last night (or today by internet if you were in Paris, like me).

Octavia Spencer, who won for best actress in a second role had a nice up-do. (By the way France has become slightly obsessed with her and is giving her a lot of ink. Check out this article "Who is Octavia Spencer" by France Soir (French).

Viola Davis stunned with her natural look, saying that her husband told her to leave her wig at home! Appparently, he understands her wearing wigs for her roles, but wants to see her HER hair at home. I have to say I agree with him. Although her hair wig is pretty in the orange dress (see below), I prefer her hair on Oscar night. There's just something powerful and beautiful about it.

Viola Davis
Seeing these gorgeous women reminded me that I didn't see ANY black women on the red carpet for the Cesar awards (French equivalent of Oscars) Friday night when Omar SY won. Nor did I even see any in the audience. Sigh. But that's a wholeeeeee-nother-article. Stay tuned.
