shutoo Posted February 22, 2019 It would be too simple to post pictures of Oscar winning actresses receiving their awards..so...what if I cut off their heads? Think of it as "27 dresses on Oscar night". Some are ridiculously easy...a few pretty tough..there may be more clues in the pics than just the clothes 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27.

lavenderblue19 Posted February 22, 2019 Thanks Shutoo., Simone Signoret is an actress I like very much. I've read quite a bit about her and remember seeing her in photos in that gown at the Oscars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shutoo Posted February 23, 2019 amazing! every guess correct! Still left: 4, 9, 10, 14, 16, 20, 23, 27 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted February 23, 2019 I'm really out of my element here, but I think I can name a few. #9 is an older woman, so I'm thinking it's Jessica Tandy, who won for "Driving Miss Daisy". #14 I believe this is Jennifer Lawrence. She won for "Silver Linings Playbook". #20 I think this is Sissy Spacek, who won for "Coal Miner's Daughter". 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not only is Ms Lawrence's dress remembered for it's style, but it proved to be a bit too much when she was climbing the stairs to receive her statue..got to be every nominee's worst nightmare... that leaves 4, 10, 16, and 27 (I'm surprised no one has guessed 27..it's considered one of the more iconic gowns) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LonesomePolecat Posted February 23, 2019 I'm resorting to using my knowledge of fashion history to guess decades, then making deductions. #4 has got to be a horrible 80s dress, so is #4 Sally Field (aka "You like me, you really like me")? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed..is usually named as the most expensive oscar dress of it's time, the French blue satin alone was 4 grand for the Edith Head design. I've never seen one of those 'best oscar dress' lists that didn't name this one. here's the rarely seen rear view: Only 10 left..hint..she wore this dress when she received her last acting oscar... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looks like Lavenderblue got the early jump, and ID'd the most! Hope you had as much fun with it as Sally Kirkland seems to be having in a memorably bad ensemble on the Oscar red carpet Thanks for playing!! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
