Ava Gardner Catherine Zeta Jones Frances McDormand and Kate Hudson , both nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Almost Famous , are incredibly talented actresses. Oh, and let me throw on a little lip-stick and mascara. She's so blonde and fair, and the bright colors make her look washed out. I also had a problem with Frances' dress, it was way too tight. It looked more like an outfit you'd wear to exercise in, or a uniform in a bad science fiction movie.
Some people have no taste.
I loved Frances in Fargo , but she is far gone in that get-up. Kate, on the other hand, is adorable. The make-up is dazzling, just enough blush on the cheeks, and the eyes are nicely done without being overpowering. That beaded lilac gown, which has a very vintage, very romantic, turn of the century look, is perfect for her. I'm afraid we're talking Beast and the Beauty in this photo.
