Cheerleaders steal the Oscars!

March 8th, 2010 by Marisa Walker – Comments (0)

The Academy Awards are my Super Bowl–I love everything from the Barbara Walters special to the red carpet all the way through to the Best Picture award. But last night, the Oscars were teeming with former cheerleaders–all who stole the show!

First off, I have to mention the stunning Sandra Bullock, who took home the Best Actress award. A former cheerleader at Washington-Lee High School in Arlington, VA, Sandy had on my favorite dress of the evening.

Host Steve Martin also has a spirited past. He cheered at Garden Grove High School in California, long before his comedy days.

Then there was the lovely Miley Cyrus, a former cheerleader at Premier Athletics in Nashville, who looked lovely as a presenter.

How can I not mention Meryl Streep? This living legend, and Bernards High School cheerleader, holds the record for the most Academy Award nominations. We think her grace and positive attitude might’ve started on the sidelines in New Jersey. :)

Another favorite part of the night was watching the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers perform. Amazing!

Brrr! It's cold out there! It's also very dry in the air, and dryness can suck up moisture, leaving your skin flaky, itchy and tight. Don't worry, though--- Atopalm's Moisturizing Body Lotion is the perfect remedy for a cold, dry winter blast!
