I was really moved by Penelope Cruz's speech last night because she said what I have always felt but could never put into words. As a student double-majoring in Film and Creative Writing, I know there are some people who don't see the use in what I study. Cruz's statement is just a reminder to me of that importance - literature, film, and other forms of art speak to our souls and connect us all.
I was also so excited to see Slumdog Millionare's Frieda Pinto wearing the John Galliano gown I showed on this blog!
She's such a beautiful lady and I think she looked wonderful last night.

yeah that was the ONLY dress I liked, really... you called it, lady! good job :P
I'm so sad I missed the oscars last night! I had to work. =( the closest I got to seeing them was looking through best and worst puctures I found on yahoo. The dress looks amazing on her! I'm glad she wore it.
Gorgeous! xx
I saw her speach last night and must say it was really movin'...I'm so proud a Spanish actress got that far...

she pulls off the dress SOOo well!! soooo beautiful..
I didn't get to see the Oscars unfortunately but what she said makes sense.
I am really proud of you sticking to your guns and doing that double major.
Aw thank you :)
i didn't love that dress on the red carpet...for some reason i thought it didn't work. but she is SO GORGEOUS that she really can wear anything!
and i love what you wrote about art & penelope's speech! it was really moving...
omg, gorgeous. i have to say the dress on the runway is a million times better in my opinion...but i definitely wouldn't expect her to be rocking a see through gown to the oscars, not exactly appropriate. still, she looks beautiful.
that dress was just SO perfect for Frieda! x
