That Werewolf Guy

Y'know, this time I really agree with you on Melissa McCarthy. Well, almost, because I think this is the worst thing that she ever wore on the red carpet. I pretty much liked her dresses of previous award shows.

Dear, Hitfix writer:
Re: Esperanza Spalding
Black is beautiful. Your views on the afro were pathetic and insulting. You live in a post civil rights world. Embrace that.

- Robin Dear Condiala: The Hitflix writers are not being prejudicial in their critisism of Ms. Spalding's hair. Just ask Oprah or Halle - never in a million years would they do a 'fro for the Academy Awards.

- Robin One more comment to Condiala: Your views on what is stylish are pathetic and insulting. Your cries of racism are also pathetic and insulting. Embrace that!

- victoriaj1908 Spalding's afro is her thing. She shouldn't have to change it for an awards show.

- The afro is not the problem. There's no rule that says you don't cut it, comb it or manage it ever. It looked better during the show, which implies someone DID do something with her hair -- she just couldn't be bothered on the way in. Viola Davis, by the way -- natural hair and left the wigs at home. And it worked great.

My best picks are: Angelina Jolie, Ellie Kemper, Rose Byrne, and Janet McTeer. Worst picks: Rooney Mara, Maya Rudolph, and Melissa McCarthy. I'm on the fence about Sandra Bullock. It had some pretty elements, but something about the fit was off for me.

- I think I was almost more unnerved by Sandra Bullock's obvious plastic surgery -- the fit of the dress was off, but man, her eyes! She looked like Jocelyn Wildenstein from some angles. So sad -- she's a beautiful woman.
