A huge, massive, colossal congratulations to Diablo Cody for winning the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay! Diablo also won a Spirit award this past weekend, along with Juno's lead actress, the fabulous Ellen Page. There was a bit of hoopla surrounding Diablo's choice of shoes for the evening, as she was given the option to wear a pair of Weitzman shoes that Diablo just thought were "sparkly". Then she found this article online describing how she was going to be wearing million dollar shoes to the Oscars. On her MySpace blog, Diablo had this to say about the almost-pimping of her feet:
"I'm actually really pissed about this, now that I think about it. They're using me to publicize their stupid shoes and nobody asked me. I would never consent to a lame publicity stunt at a time when I already want to hide. I'm sorry if I sound like a party-pooper, but Jeebus."
From the photo above, you can tell that she did not opt for the million dollar shoes, and instead wore some flats that I'm pretty sure you could get at Primark - all the more reason to love her. For a complete list of all the Oscar winners from last night, go here.

I don't know though - you're up for an Oscar, someone offers you some shoes to wear and you don't think they're out to publicise said shoes?
Sure this just makes Cody look a bit naive? Or am I missing something here and she was going to pay for them?
I think the deal was that they didn't tell her how much they cost, or that they would then turn round to the press and go, "Hey guess what shoes Diabo Cody is wearing? AND GUESS HOW MUCH THEY COST!?"
Perhaps a little naive, but I suppose if you've never been in that situation before you don't know how everything works.
Man...I wish my problems consisted of people using my feet for publicity!
