Red Carpet Patrol

Red carpet watching was a little boring this year. I flipped back and forth between Joan and Melissa's coverage on the TV Guide channel and NBC's coverage. There were so many gorgeous dresses it made dishing difficult. The trend seemed to be dark jewel colors, favorites include Reese Witherspoon in a deep amthyest number, Isla Fisher in emerald green, and Helen Mirren who looked so good we said a toast to her boobs. Other trends included dresses with built in bling, like J.Lo's, Beyonce's and Rachel Weisz's gowns. And a nod to the 90s, a few acctress were wearing dark red Vamp -esque lipstick. But since it's more fun to talk about the misses than the hits, here you go...

J.Lo: She's a little behind on the whole goddess thing, but the Marchesa gown is really beautiful. What's the miss? Her husband. He looks ill and what was up with all that blinking. And is he thinner? I worry he has manorexia or maybe J.Lo drinks his blood on full moons.

Jessica Biel. She leveled the beauty field with this one, we should thank her. Pink and black? Hasn't she heard the 80s are dead. Her hair looks like it endured a bad Rite Aid dye job.

Jennifer Hudson: Patti LaBelle called she wants her jacket back.

I guess when you've won as many awards as Meryl Streep you can wear whatever the hell you want. Yeah, it's Prada, but...ugh. She looks less like the devil and more like Mrs. Doubtfire. What's that necklace? A prop from the Mummy II. Is it the key to her ageless beauty or to ward off J.Lo?

Kate Winslet let her daughter pick out the color of her dress. It kind of, er, paled in comparison to other stunning dresses we saw.

Gwenyth wins Most Improved hands-down. She looked very classic 40s Veronica Lake. Well done. And not one nasty comment about her breasts! yeah!

Cameron! Oh no! Come on lady, you gotta do a lot better than that! Is that a napkin? Your sateen bedsheets? When your ex is schtuping Scarlet Johanson, you gotta pull out the big guns, not the tablecloth.

Faye Dunaway looks like an Olsen twin. Mary-Kate? Ashley? Faye? I can't tell 'em apart.
We couldn't find any pics of Sally Kirkland who haunted the red carpet with a dress designed by a 20 year old rabbi. Randolph Duke called her "crazy" insisting "she's lost her mind." Melissa's side kick, Greg Proops, added that it was "The United Colors of Sally Kirkland" and called the getup a "malestrom."
