Oscars 2009

I may be alone on this - and according to the sites I have read, I am - but I was not thrilled with the Oscar dresses this year. What I mean is, they were very pretty but not very exciting. I felt like I was watching a show of opposites - sometimes a wedding and sometimes a funeral. Why were there so many blue/black with a weird strap dresses? And why was the only other option a wedding dress? I was confused. I will say that my favorite of the night was Marisa Tomei. She is always stunning and provocative.
