ഓസ്കാറിനു മുന്പു.................

- Viola Davis in gold. She looks absolutely stunning. If you're wondering who she is, she is from the movie "Doubt" and is nominated for a Best Supporting spot. What I like about her dress is that it is simple and classic and great for a first-time Oscar nominee.
- Tariji P. Henson is wearing 19th century vintage Fred Leighton diamonds with her pink gown.
2/22/2009 06:02 PM
- The King and Queen of Hot, Seal and Heidi Klum, have arrived. Klum is wearing red, which is the same color she did last year with a very Queen of Hearts look. This year, she is a bit more sleek with straight hair and piles of shiny baubles and bangles. Sort of rock and roll meets formality.
2/22/2009 06:05 PM
- Just got a better look at Amy Adams dress and bodacious necklace. She is taking a fun risk by pairing what looks to be a turquoise bib necklace with a red dress trimmed in black.
2/22/2009 06:20 PM
- OK, is it me? Or is this one of the most boring red carpet nights ever. Little mention of designers and some of the fastest strolls by the stars. As I mentioned earlier, the talk was that there would be a lot less glitz tonight, because of the mood of the country. Not sure how I feel about that. I understand people not wanting to rub others' noses in their fortune, but aren't the Oscars supposed to provide a bit on escape from all the gloom of the world? Isn't that what movies are all about?
- OMG! Are those Sarah Jessica Parker's breasts or did they come with the gown? That was certainly a distraction from all that's wrong with the world. I do like the dress, though. White with layers of tulle is reminiscent of her "Sex and the City" days. Appropriate, since the word is that there will be a sequel to the film of the same name.
- Marisa Tomei decided to dress up a bit this time, after going slight casual at the Golden Globes last month.
- The fuschia on Natalie Portman is a nice change of pace from all the red and metallic on others.
2/22/2009 06:29 PM
- Oh, no, Beyonce. Gold flowers to show off the width of your hips? No!
- Love the simplicity of Queen Latifah's form-fitted dark gown. She always does a good job for the cameras. She's like a quiet style icon.
- Update: SJP describes her gown as "barely mint."
2/22/2009 06:39 PM
- Taraji P. Henson is wearing Roberto Cavalli (and our apologies for misspelling her name earlier).
- Angelina and Brad just arrived. I thought I heard earlier that they weren't coming, but here they are.
- Penelope Cruz has arrived as well, along with Meryl Streep.
2/22/2009 06:47 PM
- Why does Philip Seymour Hoffman look like he's going skiing (or just finishing a bank robbery) with that skull cap?
- Penelope has joined the pack of muted metallics. Nice choice.
- I don't like the blousy bow with Jessica Biel's dress. As my colleague Kathy Flanigan put it, it looks like a napkin.
- Back to Beyonce: not a good idea to look like an Oscar statue at the Oscars (I know. I sound like a hater, but it's because I know she can do better).
2/22/2009 06:54 PM
- Oh, Tilda Swinton. Each year, she takes a risk. And each year, it's not so good. The muted skin-town blouse blending with her skin and hair makes her look a bit ghostly. Not fond of the whole baggy clothing thing she insists on doing.

So, the awards will get going in a second, so I am out of here. Photos to come later. Happy Oscar നൈറ്റ്_____________________________________________________
