Reflections On The 2010 Academy Award Red Carpet

The 2010 Academy Awards have come and gone, creating a whirlwind of red-carpet commentary. The fashion industry's equivalent of Goldman Sachs puts out its best-and-worst-dressed lists, replete with explanations that leave me no less clueless regarding why this actress looked "stunning," while that one was deemed "a cross between a hooker and a lampshade." I don't really get the clothing thing, since all the men dress alike, and the women are best judged on their bodies, not their wardrobe. With that said, I've come up with an idea for jazzing up the Oscars: have everyone dress down!

I can see it now: Megan Fox strutting into the auditorium in a skimpy bikini, followed by Ashley Judd in a University of Kentucky basketball uniform, and Jay Leno in his motorcycle getup. If the actors want to pretend they are normal people for the evening, let them go all the way, and let the world see them as they are when the cameras normally aren't rolling. Heck, they might even look like -- gasp! -- real people!
