Diablo Cody's Oscar shoe-gate

**pacific breeze** · February 26th, 2008, 12:02 AM

What she did was tacky, but no more so than countless divas before, and doubtless to come after, her. She probably has more talent in her little finger than most of the people in that audience last night. A little fame has a habit of creating a big head. She'll come down to earth pretty quickly, but good writers in Hollywood rarely become has beens. They're like gold, even if they rarely get any respect.

Hated the dress and the ballet flats, tho. Something a little more form fitting would have been a lot more flattering than a tent with a big slit up the side.

Something about a stripper winning an oscar really entertains me.

For a writer she wasn't that eloquent in her speech. And her clothes and shoes were tacky as hell. And she does look way busted for someone younger than me.

Äll this over a pair of shoes? And they say Hollywood is shallow.

**Folieadeux** · February 26th, 2008, 01:45 AM

She is tacky as hell anyway.

I believe she is an ex-stripper. Considering the number of former party girls, casting couch princesses and "pros" who've won, a stripper is actually kind of tame. A lot of writers have colourful lives...grist for the mill or something like that.

I'm much more interested in how she stayed truth to herself last night, dressed whatever she felt like, owned it & looked great.

agree. i think she looked beautiful.
