Oscars Archives - Listen to Lena

Last week, I was a bit turned off when US Magazine wrote an article outlining the contents of the Oscars Swag Bag… for losers. In fact, it’s safe to say we are all a little peeved at the sheer wastefulness (is that a word?) and social irresponsibility of the sponsoring companies.

This week, in anticipation of the big show on Sunday, I have something a little more lighthearted to share: from Cosmopolitan UK, “Every Best Actress Oscars Dress Since 1929”. The lovely little infographic, created by the digital geniuses at mediarundigital.co.uk, has been making its rounds on Facebook and Twitter, but I just had to post it here as well. Take a peek! And if you’re tuning into the Academy Awards this weekend, don’t forget to join our #EpsonRedCarpet Twitter Party at 7:00pm EST, where you know we’ll be chatting about Oscar-night fashion!

It tastes like moist devil’s food cake and Cake Batter ice cream, obvi.

With the 85th Annual Academy Awards taking place this Sunday night, film enthusiasts, fashion lovers and celebrity stalkers are in a tizzy! Predictions are being made left and right – who’ll snag an Oscar; which film will take top honours; what the nominees will wear; and which celebrity will commit the most memorable fashion faux pas on the red carpet. It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Cold Stone Creamery has been busy too – creating ice cream concoctions to honour the films nominated for Best Motion Picture. With ingredients and toppings designed to pay homage to the great movies – why not show your support by including your favourites at your Oscar party this weekend? Or, just grab a cup of Django Unchained and make your own damn party!

And the nominees are…

Amour – The Movie

In the final months of her life, a retired music teacher and her husband of sixty years struggle with the debilitating effects of two strokes on both her health and her quality of life. As Georges cares for the increasingly unhappy Anne, the pair finds the nature of their life together irrevocably changed.

Amour – The Dessert

The universal language. Try the Strawberry Passion ice cream cake with layers of moist yellow cake, Strawberry ice cream, a graham cracker pie crust and strawberry puree, all wrapped in a creamy strawberry frosting… because nothing heals heartache like ice cream!…
