While some of us have fantasized about living in an era where ball gowns and horse-drawn carriages are commonplace, it's sometimes tricky to blend old-world elegance with a contemporary lifestyle. Keep reading to see our picks for modern version of Anna Karenina-inspired interiors.

Best Director Nominee Clint Eastwood is FIT

There is no doubt that Clint Eastwood is one fit dude.


There is no doubt that Clint Eastwood is one fit dude. At age 76, exercise has been a large part of his life for 60 years!!!!

Clint works out daily in some way, shape, or form - be it walking or running a little on the golf course, to really hitting it hard in the gym, doing cardio or lifting weights. He is so dedicated to fitness that he even owns some golf courses and fitness clubs. So that golf course that he runs on he also owns. Clint claims that he couldn't live without exercise and finds it really meditative. Favoring the Precor elliptical, he cranks up the jazz during his workouts.

Diet wise, the Oscar nominated director eats practically vegan and when he needs to cheat he picks off his wife's plate. Pretty cute there Clint. I'd say he sounds red carpet ready.

If you think Clint deserves the Oscar for Best Director be sure to cast your vote on BuzzSugar's Oscar Ballot.

My Pick for Best Song Oscar: Spoon, "The Book I Write"

The contenders for the Best Song Oscar have been announced, and as usual, the list is an assortment of songs from animated features (Cars), songs from musical movies (Dreamgirls), and cool songs that probably won't win.

The contenders for the Best Song Oscar have been announced, and as usual, the list is an assortment of songs from animated features (Cars), songs from musical movies (Dreamgirls), and cool songs that probably won't win. Then again, if Three 6 Mafia can take home an Oscar, maybe Spoon can too. I didn't really like the movie Stranger Than Fiction all that much, but I love this Spoon song, "The Book I Write," from the soundtrack.
