Some of the Oscar desses we love

Just a few of the great looks that graced the red carpet this year. Did any catch your eye?

The Best (and Worst) of Both Worlds

Sandra Bullock has done the impossible. Her Oscar win for Best Actress last night comes just after her win for Worst Actress at the 2010 Razzies. That’s right, Sandra Bullock is both the Best and the Worst Actress of 2010! That takes a great deal of talent to pull off a double whammy like that, and better yet, She attended BOTH awards. Very few celebs show up in person to collect their Razzie but Bullock did and even posed for a victory shot. Her Oscar win however was much more emotional even gaining tears from her husband, Jessie James.

It’s been a while but we are awarding Sandra Bullock the cupcake of the week for being the best of the worst and the best of the best all in the same year. Congratulations, have a cupcake!

Alice in Wonderland Week is Apon Us.

March 5 is a very important date. It is the release of the latest Tim Burton joint, Alice in Wonderland.Alice will be Burtons 3rd film for Disney and his 7th with good friend Johnny Depp who will play the Mad Hatter. In actuality Alice in Wonderland is a combination of two books in one(Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. This explains why Johnny Depp is all over the movie trailer. Although my love for the Burton/Depp combo runs deep it has proved flawed in the past. 2005s Charlie and the Chocolate factory left many reviewers questioning the similarities between Michael Jackson and Depps portrayal of the eccentric candy man, Willy Wonka.


Burtons Alice in Wonderland dives deeper into the rabbit hole where we not only not only meet the treasured characters through new Burton eyes but watch as Alice is tossed caught between a war between two queenly sisters played by Anne Hathaway and Mrs. Burton to be Helen Bonham Carter.

There is very little doubt in my mind that Burton will deliver an amazing interpretation of Alice in Wonderland. Burton is just the person needed to bring a time-honored classic into the new age. Burton is often accused of going over the top but with a story like this that seems quite impossible.
Alice in Wonderland opens March 5 and to celebrate MolliealaMode is launching our first ever Give Away!!!

The Wolfman

The Wolfman, starring Benicio Del Toro and Anthony Hopkins, is a legitimate horror film. In the days of over the top gore films like Saw and Hostil, It's nice to see a horror film with that reminds you of the horror films of old. The story is weak but the suspense and build up are perfect and you just cannot go wrong with Benicio Del Toro and Anthony Hopkins. It is well worth the money and will leave you with chills. Out of 5 Cupcakes, I give it 3 and a half. See it.

The Golden Globes: Get your game face on!

I watch awards shows much like a man watches a sports game. I yell, I sigh in disbelief and I have been known to throw things. I make no apologies because award show season, at least for me, is a sport and tonight is the first game of the season: The Golden Globes. There have been some amazing films and performances this year and tonight we will get a first glimpse of the seasons favorites.

Now I know some actors say that they don’t care about winning or losing but much like a quarter back, the awards one will receive tonight and onward will directly effect their asking price for upcoming films. Especially for actresses such Up in the Air’s Anna Kendrick who’s price has most likely already increased based on praise and good reviews alone. She is nominated for Best supporting and I wouldn’t be surprised if she wins. George Clooney is nominated for Best Actor for the same film. He is up against Jeff Bridges who has gotten rave reviews for his performance in Crazy Heart.

I am thankful that the Golden Globes separates best performance in a Drama and Comedy. This clears the path for Sandra Bullock to take the win for performance in a drama and Meryl Streep to take the win in comedy for Julie & Julia.

As far as TV goes I will be livid if Glee does not win every category it’s nominated in, especially Glee’s Jane Lynch though Chloe Sevigny could give her a run for her money. She kicked in last seasons Big Love. HBO’s Gray Gardens should win for best TV mini series and Jessica Lange should win for her performance in it. Kevin Bacon is, as far as I am concerned a shoe in for Best male performance for Taking Chance. I also think Big Love will win best TV Drama. I doubt HBO is going home empty handed though I do believe Jeremy Piven will again. Edie Falco should win for her performance in Nurse Jackie. And of hopefully this will be NPH’s year for his supporting role in How I met your Mother but he is up against John Lithgow for his performance in this season of Dexter.

I fear is that Avatar will take every category it’s nominated for which I believe is a shame. If you want to talk about special effects and cinematography that’s a different story but overall Avatar is wear in both acting and directing.

So these are my predictions for the Golden Globes which air tonight and will be hosted by Ricky Gervais. I will be twitting through out the awards (from my couch) and I might even video blog so you get a real idea of just how seriously I take this. Let me know what you think.
