I love judging famous people.

The SAG Awards were held last night, and while I didn't watch (because I'm the one person in America without cable tv), I've spent the morning poring over photos of the Hollywood elite. I've gotta say, I'm not impressed this time around.  Lots of misses from the ladies-- which is great for you readers, because now you get to hear my snarky comments about them, you lucky dogs.  You can check out all of the arrival photos over at People and make your own judgements.  Here are mine, in no particular order...

The Good:
Zoe Saldana in Givenchy.  She took a risk and it paid off in droves. Those bejeweled daggers at the sleeves & neckline are fierce.  Love the contrast of them with the easy, almost casual feel of the dress.
Emma Stone in Alexander McQueen.  My girl was another risk-taker in a kicky, vintage-inspired dress.  Love the length, love the styling, love her.  But you knew that already.
Jayma Mays in Reem Acra.  She sparkled-- literally-- in her black cap-sleeve sequin gown. It's not easy for a small woman to wear a completely embellished dress without looking weighed-down, but she pulled it off beautifully. And check out the gorgeous lace detail on the back.

The Less Fortunate:
Angelina Jolie in Jenny Peckham, sporting a sad Project Runway make-a-gown-from-a-garbage-bag look.
Kristen Wiig in Balenciaga, perpetuating the stereotype that women can't be funny and hot. The dress would've been totally passable, but that choker?  Her stylist should be fired immediately.
(You knew it was coming!) Lea Michele in Versace, still looking tacky.  The "undone" hair, the slit-to-there skirt, the pointy pumps... she seems like she tries SO hard to look "effortlessly sexy" but instead winds up looking cheap.  Maybe I just really don't like her. What say you, muffins?
Heather Morris in Masai Payan, not helping improve the reputation of the Glee girls with her awkwardly cut & constructed 80s-inspired black dress. She & Lea are lucky Jayma was there to overshadow their poor choices.
Kaley Cuoco in Romona Keveza, aren't we over the princess gowns yet?  It's such a tired look.  And I'm not just saying that because my boyfriend thinks you're super hot.
Glenn Close in Zac Posen, I know you are a legend, but what. the. hell. was that dress about?  Yikes.  Zac steered you wrong on this one.
