Oscar Night Outfits

The nominations for the Academy Awards came out today, otherwise known as the Oscars. The field for Best Picture nominees was extended from 5 to 10. Some would say in order to bring attention to some over looked and well-deserved films. I say, to help the film industry sell more dvds and recoup some of their losses from bit torrent and the wild west of the internet and bootlegs. Putting that aside, I had an interesting idea about the night of the Oscar ceremony. It's usually a fancy, stuffy affair with women wearing expensive gowns and even more expensive jewelry. While the guys wear tuxedos and play arm candy to the women. Well, I had an idea that would turn that notion on its head. How about if the Best Actor, Actress and Supporting categories had to wear the costumes they wore for the film with which they are being nominated from. Think about it. Wouldn't it be cool if Jeremy Renner wore his bomb detecting outfit from the Hurt Locker? Or Jeff Bridges for Crazy Heart. Sandra Bullock for The Blind Side? This would add a fun dimension to an otherwise bland and studied affair and remind the fans of the characters that these people portrayed and why they enjoyed them so much. Will it ever happen? Probably not bloody likely. Would it be cool to see actors in their costumes instead of in tuxedos and gowns? Absolutely!
