hahahah

Just one last thing--

Rotten Tomatoes just tweeted "Aaaaa! Run from Christian Bale's scary beard!!!!"

hahahahaaaa


okay goodnight for real everyone :)

Let the games begin..

Soo, the red carpet is wrapping up and we've seen some phenomenal styles.  There's honestly been nothing I've gawked at (then again, I couldn't physically SEE Helena Bonham Carter's crazy outfit because the black doesn't come through on the camera).  I'd say it's been a success tonight, so I'll be putting the laptop down as the stars take their seats.  On a final note:

Best dressed (hands down) goes to Mila Kunis in Elie Saab.  She wore it perfectly.

Goodnight everyone, enjoy the show -- what a great year it's been for film and fashion!

Recap

As the stars head inside for the big show, a moment to reflect on what came down the red carpet:

Favorites - Mila Kunis, Cate Blanchet, Jennifer Lawrence, and Anne Hathaway

Notable - Mandy Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow

What were they thinking - Nicole Kidman, Helena Bonham Carter (I'll never be a fan)

Can't wait for the awards!

FINALLY

Natalie Portman! FANTASTIC color, that purple  is wonderful on this soon-to-be mommy.  I'm not sure what I think about the tassle earrings, but I'm leaning toward love, especially since there's nothing on the neck as far as bling goes.  She managed to keep it simple and chic, and the makeup is glowing.  She definitely didn't let us down.

There she is!

Natalie Portman looking incredible. I love the cut of her dress with very pregnant belly. (It's Rodarte, a favorite of hers.) Although the color doesn't necessarily pop against the red carpet, I love it, as well as the sequined details. Classically beautiful, and bubbly as always.

Robert Downey Jr. is looking original with a navy suit with a white shirt AND tie.  Something I haven't seen before in the men's department. Well done, sir ;)

Anne Hathaway

So Stunning - perfect dress for a presenter! The red lips is a great add on. The back of the dress is were originality comes in..... flowers detailed through the bottom half. The diamond necklace is simple but elegant. Anne always does right on the red carpet!

Valentino :)

Valentino is on the runway! Anne Hathaway is wearing his signature red gown and looks stunning in it! I love the delicate diamond jewelry and the side-swept bun.

pppplease

We just switched the channel to abc -- Are we about to find out who Matthew Mcconaughey's wife is wearing? NOBODY ASKED. I'm dying to know!

Another Moment

I love Sandy. This structured Vera Wang number fits her figure so well. I love that her hair is up and polished, a definite upgrade from those long bangs and flat 'do she sported not too long ago. So hot right now.

Gwen

Gwyneth Paltrow looks great in sleek and structured Calvin Klein.  This look is veering off the soft feminine trends we're seeing this season, but she's styled it well and wears it perfectly..  Lots of metallics on the red carpet tonight - I approve!

Only 25 minutes until the show starts!

Another Calvin Klein

His minimalist designs for Spring 2011 have been popular at every awards show. We saw two very different looks on Jennifer Lawrence and Gwyneth Paltrow tonight, and I'm a fan of both. Can't wait to see Gwen perform!

Hottest couple

Matthew Macconaughey and his beautiful wife

Shes wearing a DEEP v-neck black satin gown....Ryan didn't ask who she was wearing! why!?

Nicole Kidman

Not excited about this one - the diamond chocker is a little age inappropriate and the dress has too much detail on the front. It's almost reminds me of origami??

Reese

Reese Witherspoon looks super classy, channeling straight black and white, and the pony-tail to top it off, how adorable!

Burly

Christian Bale needs to shave the beard he looks scary.. and the cave man look doesn't play well with the full black suit.

Javier Bardem

One of the first men not wearing bow tie tonight!

Javier Bardem

He's almost charming me out of the horror I associate with his role in "No Country for Old Men." Maybe I should see "Biutiful." Where did Penelope go?

Sandra Bullock

Sandra looks amazing! Love the floor length red gown on her - can't wait to see the details close up. She just keeps looking younger and younger.
