Who do you think was the best dressed and the worst dressed on the red carpet at the Academy Awards?
(Asked at the PW Market at Via Valiente Center)


“Jessica Biel was the worst dressed and Penelope Cruz was the best dressed. I liked the clothes this year, they were better than in previous years.”

“I didn’t really like Mickey Rourke’s attire. I was really impressed by Shirley McLaine, as opposed to Sophia Loren. McLaine was dressed for her age, it seemed very unHollywood but it was flattering and it was good, particularly in this economy.“

John Hansen, 49

“I didn’t care for Sarah Jessica Parker’s dress too much. I loved Natalie Portman’s outfit. I thought she looked great as did Nicole Kidman, who is amazing. I though Meryl Streep looked like a grande dame.”

Sharon Nemoff Jones, 63

“I didn’t pay that much attention. I liked Hugh Jackman and I liked the way they used a group of people together that had won previously to give out the actor awards.”

Smitty Smithson, 88
Almaden
Retired


“Amy Adams was the best dressed and her necklace made it spectacular. She made a statement and no one will ever forget it. Hugh Jackman the host was cuter than a bedbug. I didn’t like Nicole Kidman’s dress and Sophia Loren’s dress was a bit prommy.”

“Brad and Angelina looked good because they could wear anything and look real good. Daniel Craig also looked good, but he looked like James Bond. Ben Stiller could have been the worst dressed, but he was trying not to look good. I’m not sure what Meryl Streep was trying to prove. Mickey Rourke looked good for a hobo.”

“I didn’t see them all, but Jessica Biel looked like she was being eaten by something. Angelina looked pretty good and Mickey Rourke looked good for him.”

Susan Morrison, 60

“Halle Berry was beautiful. Jessica Biel was the worst dressed with that huge flap, that bulbous thing on her dress.”

Kate Bartenhagen

“Nicole Kidman was the best dressed. Sarah Jessica Parker’s dress barely covered her up and it looked like she was trying to act young.”
