Did you feel as creepy as I did watching First Lady Michelle Obama hand out the Oscar for Best Picture? To me it seemed like something out of George Orwell’s 1984.
Just as Oscar host Seth MacFarlane set his sights on a variety of targets with a mixture of hits and misses, the motion picture academy spread the gold around to a varied slate of films.

When it comes to taking fashion risks, awards shows are the ideal time to just buck up and go for it. There are like, millions of people watching, after all.
