The Girl Hero Oscar Winner for Best Celebrity Arms
I’m not a big pop culture fan. Since quitting the gym, hence losing access to tabloid mags (not that I ever read them on the step mill), I haven’t been able to keep up with celebrity gossip. Indeed, I was SHOCKED last night while watching the Oscars at my in-laws to see Natalie Portman was pregnant. As a side note, I found her acceptance speech authentic and touching. She even thanked her parent’s for giving her life. Speaking of moms! Did anyone else get teary when Tom Hooper shared the story of how his “mum” found the story for his film? He finished with, “So with this tonight, I honor you, and the moral of the story is listen to your mother.” Sniff.
Now onto more important things like the Girl Heroes third annual Oscar for Best Arms.

Amy Adams is adorable and such a classic beauty. I became a fan when I saw her in Junebug. Love that movie.

Cameron Diaz
Last year, Cameron Diaz, showed up on the red carpet with GORGEOUS arms winning the Girl Hero away for “Best Celebrity Arms”. (She was flattered as, I’m sure, are the rest of these lovely ladies.) The year she showed up at the Vanity Fair After Party with the same lovely arms. As opposed to different arms? You know what I mean.
Notice the difference in her arm compared to Gwyneth’s who prefers to follow the utterly ridiculous “no more than 3 pound rule“. (In all fairness, Cameron is holding her arm in a flexed position and Gwyneth’s arm is extended.) This is not just genetics and dieting. While Cameron Diaz must have a very clean diet, I’m certain her gorgeous arms are also the result of hard work and discipline in the gym.
Did you watch the Oscars? Boring or entertaining? (I admit to being a sucker for high glamour fashion.) Who wore your favorite dress? Which movies up for awards had you seen?
Hugs and High Fives,
Jenn

This is my (almost) sane quest for insane health. Let's 
Some great arms! Reminds me that I’ll have to get a bit more serious with my strength training again…
Didn’t get to watch the Oscars, but I would have loved to!
Me too. 😉 The move has sucked all my time it seems.
I didn’t watch, and I’m not at all up on pop culture either, but Cameron Diaz’s arms?! And Hilary Swank? Wowza.
I would have commented on the utter ridiculousness of the no more than three pounds thing too…I’d much prefer to lift a bit more and NOT do 100 reps. (And I just typed a really long diatribe about this and then realized I should refrain from standing on my soapbox in your comments. But yeah.)
I know! Just gorgeous!! And I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to see comments of people agreeing instead of going “ewww manly”. Makes my day!
Feel free to stand on your soapbox anytime in my comments!
Like many of the other commenters I was blown away by Hilary Swank and especially Cameron Diaz. I would’ve had to break down and give her the two-peat, lol.
Halle looks amazing as always, however.
…and that’s Gwyneth’s left arm, which she professed to be the bulkier one from holding her son.
Tee hee!!!! I didn’t notice it was that arm! Good eye!!!
I didn’t watch the oscars either but holy cow do I want Hillary Swank’s arms!!! (And Reese Witherspoon’s hairpiece! And Amy Adams’ dress!!)
I know! I want Amy Adams hair. I’ve wanted to be a redhead my entire life!
Didnt’ see it myself, but did read a gossip mag on the plane that the flight attendant gave me (THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!) that had Cameron in the park with her beau rolling huge 18 wheeler tires around. She’s no wuss.
That is so awesome!!! I want to do that with Brent except I’d probably get mad and roll it over him. 😉
Yes, I always love when the award winners give shout outs to their parents. And I loved that the Director for the ‘Kings Speech” noted his Mom’s significance in him winning that award.
And yes, ladies with muscles seriously make the world go round! I know Cameron is a big surfer and have to imagine that she gets those killer biceps from paddling away in the ocean and lifting weights.
I watched the end of the Oscars and am glad to see that The Kings Speech stole the show. That movie was fabulous on so many levels!
I have to admit that I haven’t seen the King’s Speech yet. I’m really looking forward to it now!
I must admit I was too busy ogling Colin Firth to pay much attention to anyone else.
Except for Keith Urban and Hugh Jackman, of course!
