Taraji Needs a Job

Even though actress Taraji P. Henson has been nominated for an Oscar, she is desperately seeking work.
When asked by the Daily Beast website if she is inundated with new roles, she says: "Actually... no. I can't wait to write my memoir someday and talk about this moment in my life - my name is being bounced around the Oscars, Golden Globes, and all these awards, it's incredible. And I don't have a job. Nothing. The industry is really slow right now because of the pending strike, so I am at a standstill. It's funny that I have all these things going on and no work in sight. It's very shaky out here."

Everything Oscars

I found this years Oscars to be a bit bland and it irritated me that No country for Old Men won so much. The acting was great but the movie dragged on for way too long and left you with no resolution. Anyway, onto some of my favorite and least favorite outfits and the rest of the winners. Seal and Heidi Klum : I think they're a beautiful couple but something about her dress isn't working for me. Maybe its all the extra fabric...or the fact that its burning my cornea. Not sure.Diablo Cody : I love that she used to be a stripper, I love that she won for Juno, and I love most of all that she forewent wearing million dollar shoes to wear ballerina slippers from Payless. Vive le Diablo!Jennifer Hudson : I like the dress...just not on her. Us big brested womens need to be careful about holster-like attributes on our garments.Daniel Day-Louis and his wife Rebeca Miller : They sure know how to bring the ugly. A couple that fugs together stays together.Forrest Whitaker and wife Keisha Whitaker : She looks quite lovely and Forrest looks absolutely dapper, wonky eye and all.Tilda Swinton : Tilda, I friggin love you but your whole look just shattered my heart into a million pieces.Miley Ray Cyrus : 1. Why was she there? This is the Oscars not the Kids Choice Awards . 2. Yes, her face makes me sad too.Tanika Ray :I love how she's posing for the camera as if someone gives a damn.Jane Mansfield : Old as Methuselah but still hot. Thanks for bringing the glitter lady!Ruby Dee : Her giant face and alien eyes scare Pabvon and I. Ruby you're on our radar. We know you're not of earth.Marion Cotillard : I thought she was gorgeoso in this Jean-Paul Gautier number.Denzel Washington : Looking both bloated and handsome...something only Denzel is capable of.Cameron Diaz : Eh, taffeta? Really Cameron?Cash Warren and Jessica Alba : Shes a such a pretty preggo!
