Mama award- February 28, 2011
Last night I so badly wanted to stay up and watch the Oscars. (It’s “Oscar,” not The Academy Awards anymore. Get hip people.) Alas, my funky schedule did not allow for that, but I did sneak in a little Red Carpet watching before bed.
My favorite dress by far was Natalie Portman’s. As a recently pregnant woman I found it lovely, elegant, and stylish.

The best part for me though, was seeing a young mother-to-be reach the pinnacle of her career. A generation or two ago, you wouldn’t likely see a mother, let alone a pregnant woman, working and accepting awards for her work. (Yeah, I know, she wasn’t pregnant during the filming of Black Swan, but you know what I mean.) During her acceptance speech, Portman mentioned her “most important role” upcoming as a mother. It is, but I hope she’ll continue making awesome films as a new mom. I wish all pregnant chicks and moms got a night to dress up and get awarded. Natalie, enjoy that trophy for all the mamas!
