Oscars 2008: Ruby Red All The Rage

Feb 25 | by Natasha

Ruby Dee rocked the color everybody's wearing on tonight's red carpet-ruby red:

Photog: Cohen

She's the only African American up for an award tonight (Best Supporting Actress for American Gangster). And she's rocking a Kevan Hall gown with over $2 million worth of Jeffrey Rackover diamonds. A ruby and diamond bracelet made up of 100 carats of rubies and diamonds, a pair of 45 carat dangling diamond chandlier earrings, and an 8 carat ruby ring surounded by 15 carats of diamonds. Take that take that Diddy.

Ruby Dee is not new, however,

Ruby Dee is not new, however, her role in American Gangster was not nomination worthy whatsoever. She did absolutely nothing. She was only in about 2-3 scenes. Pretty lady, God Bless her, but that role doesn't make the cut. Sorry Ruby!

I honor you Mother Ruby!

I honor you Mother Ruby! Thank You for all you have done to open the doors for all of us in the arts and in the US period. If not for elder black woman like you holding strong to your virtue and timeless talent we can walk through with our talent today! I honor adore and love you and all you stand for Mother Dee! JuJu you are a sterling example of the deep disrespect and disregard alot of black youth has acquired through self hatred and main stream media! Ju Ju please educate yourself!!! as well as remember one day you will become older and I pray by then you will have become wise and virtuous and accomplished at life enough to see the errors of your youth and ignorance and torrid disrespect!

This lady has been acting since i'm certain before you were even an afterthought in your parents minds. She was a pioneer during the Civil Rights era as well as a phenomenal actress. Please go do some research or at least hit up google before you come on here with dumb comments like this. I mean for God's sake it's Black History Month!!

Wow, I grew up in Nigeria

Wow, I grew up in Nigeria (that's "West Africa" for your miseducated self, Juju) and still managed to know who Ruby Dee was, while respecting her and her husband's work in the past both on and off camera... ... I'm getting more troubled by the direction black youth seems to be headed. But Mz Dee, you faboulous as ever - even though you didnt win (and i was secretly pleased Tilda did) :)

Did JuJu really ask if RUBY

Did JuJu really ask if RUBY DEE just popped up on the scene? Are you serioud little baby JuJu? I can't believe it. Geesh...the state of our young people. All they know is some stupid "superman that ho" and nothing else. Something needs to be done about this generation. Get to reading a damn book little baby JuJu. Get to know about your people.

[quote comment="40947"]She looks fab. I just hate the way she talks.[/quote] Hell Yeah! Did you see her on the NAACP awards? That mess was scary. At first I thought she was preaching or something talking about WEB Debois then I realized she wasn't....=/ and thats just how she talks. But she looks so classy and elegant for her age! Nonetheless, I loves it!
