I love Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber and if they ever break up I will lay in bed for an entire day. So when the two of them were interviewed by incompetent Ryan Seacrest (seriously, why don’t they let Kristen Dos Santos do the interviews?) I found them utterly charming and attractive. Seacrest asked Liev if he helped Naomi with her look at all and he said that he did help with the angle of her snake necklace. Everyone is buzzing about Naomi’s diamond Bulgari snake necklace, which is a repeat. She’s worn that incredible necklace five times in the last year. Sometimes she drapes the snake head around her back and sometimes she wears it in front.
While it’s easy to agree that the necklace is killer, people were more divided about Watts’ Gucci gown. I found it on point and I loved the draped bodice, the matching belt and her little white clutch with silver snake detail. Kaiser thought the dress was too bright yellow. It was a nice pop of color, I thought. Plus she had the perfect accessory. Liev is so hot. Did you see him with his glasses? I wish he would win something for Ray Donovan already.
I’m including photos of nominees Frances O’Connor (The Missing), Kathy Bates and Jessica Lange (American Horror Story) along with presenter Melissa McCarthy. McCarthy wore an incredible pantsuit of her own design to the People’s Choice Awards so this goofy bow, shirt and tiered skirt combo is disappointing. Jessica Lange is really working that v-neck J. Mendel gown. Did you see Kathy’s Je Suis Charlie iPhone case? Oh and I know O’Connor from Mr. Selfridge. It took me a while to figure out what show I remembered her from, since she looks so different in period costumes.

I could not stop staring at her necklace
I know, it’s amazing. I love her whole look here.
Bile vomit. THAT IS ALL.
She looked incredible, but I might be bias because she’s one of my favorites.
Her look is a bit reminiscent of Michelle William’s ’06 Oscar look. Somewhat simple dress, but in that bright yellow color and with the statement necklace , it really pops.
Yellow shamer!
Liver expeller!
Lol you’ve got me on that one. I think half my posts last night were just lyrics from Carl Poppa. Oof.
*Also, I noticed you and Maya got db’d on the JA post. Well done, Kiddoccio, and slow clap for the newest inductee.
I have to go check it out.
ETA: Can’t find it??
One of the best looking couples there. Wow Naomi Watts is so beautiful and her hubby’s not bad either.
Who ever dressed or styled Melissa should be FIRED! With a capital F!
She looks terrible.
Some stylists panic when they get a bigger lady, maybe that’s what happened. I can’t see her seeing that dress and thinking it was great!! No way.
It was her own design from her new line. Terrible and frumpy
Naomi Watts can do no wrong. Love everything about her look, including and especially that she is allowing her fact to AGE. But, yeah, the hot husband also helps.
Maybe it’s just his face, but Liev Schreiber always looks miserable to me.
Aw you think?
I think he’s just squinty.
I love the two of them together.
He is so fine. 🙂 Drool.
Naomi Watts does look incredible but I think its the snake statement necklace that makes the look killer. If you took it away, the dress would look a million others.
Melissa McCarthy is easily my worst dressed. Please stop making your own clothes.
Melissa McCarthy was hands down the worst dressed. Even beating Lena Dunham. Why Missy why?? B
I was afraid to scroll down and look at the yellow dress, but it’s not a bad shade at all. Plus, Naomi has the prettiest face in Hollywood! What a good-looking couple they are.
Naomi picked a GOOD yellow for her skin tone, so So Pretty , Loved it… Jessica Looked like the Grand Supreme she was… No comment for the rest cause.. NO
Naomi looked great. She stood out, and while it was bright, she pulled it off. Jessica L looked amazing as usual. I think she had some very minor freshening (?) done-it looks good.
At first I thought that Naomi looked great but her clutch is too matchy-matchy with her necklace and the belt is dragging down the look of the dress. Also, the skirt of the dress doesn’t fit her properly.
I actually like what Melissa McCarthy is wearing…
Jessica Lange is so beautiful. Can your best accessory be your face? Her face makes me immensely happy. I don’t care for the dress. Jessica wins because she brought her face.
applause!!
Ha ha, completely agree! She’s a goddess and she knows it. The dress, hair, face, her poise… I just love her.
My favourite Oscar look of all time is Michelle Williams when she was nominated for the first time with Heath Ledger. Her dress was yellow (I don’t even like yellow normally) and timeless, her lips were red, her hair was perfection and her necklace was lovely.

So everytime someone tries a yellow dress with red lips and a necklace I’m like: Nope, not like Michelle’s. I like Naomi’s hair and makeup though.
I agree, Michelle Williams’ yellow is still the best yellow to me.
Michelle Williams killed it! I looooved her look! My all time favorite.
My all time favorite look aswell. She looked so gorgeous that day.
I’m going to have to agree. That yellow is the absolute yellow and she was so memorable and flawless in that dress.
That dress was pretty but it can’t touch Renee Zellweger’s yellow Dessés that she wore to the Oscars years ago:

That was a classic Oscar look, but this shade of yellow I always think of Rene Zellwegger in Lily Et Cie, at the Oscars as well (predating Williams, actually).
Renee Zelweger was the first to wear a yellow gown and red lips on a red carpet back in 2001. Different shade of yellow. I liked both of them but Renee definitely did it first.
She is too pale to wear yellow, bad contrast.
I love Watts’ dress and OMG I want that snake necklace so bad….
Naomi’s dress color was hideous, actually in these pics it looks a bit better than it did on t.v. so this is not a fair representation. On t.v. it was this hideous shade of neon greenish highlighter yellow! Her skin was shiny, the red lipstick clashed, her hair was boring…when she got up to present she was a complete mess!
Naomi Watts is my favorite of the night. She’s my favorite of any night not attended by Cate Blanchett. Love her and Liev Schreiber. Love her dress. Love her necklace – love that SHE loves the necklace so much. I have zero complaints about any of this.
Naomi was stunning last night and they looked great together. Such a great couple.
Naomi looks amazing. I don’t like yellow in general but her dress is nice and it suits her. The necklace is fantastic and I guess really expensive so why not wear it again.
Melissa does not look good.The outfit is ugly and wouldn’t look
nice even if she was slim. The shirt and the bow are too much.
Naomi looks beautiful. I love, love, love that necklace.
Is O’Connor usually this thin? Looks to me like she’s lost quite a bit of weight.
Loved in Mansfield Park and The Importance of Being Earnest.
Sending some love Kathy Bates’ way as well.
Jessica Lange is the most stunning ever.
