zzzzzzzzzzzzz….
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Overall, that was a pretty boring showing on the red carpet.
Tilda Swinton wins the worst dressed award for her shapeless, armless velvet dress and complete lack of effort in prepping for the red carpet.
John Travolta should have borrowed Javier Bardem’s bob wig. The men as a whole were all pretty bland and boring looking.
Here’s one theory on why the looks on the red carpet were so dull this year…
SCAD professor, Sarah Collins said with all the award show cancellations, celebrities lost the usual three to four opportunities they have to dress for a red carpet walk. The more chances they have to get it right, the more likely they are to take greater risks on an out-there Oscar outfit. “Since there weren’t that many award shows this year, they didn’t want to take a chance,” Collins said.
Too bad.

Red takes over the red carpet
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It seemed as if everyone wore red this year, which feels just a little unimaginative on a red carpet, but whatev…
Here are the people who didn’t wear red:
Jennifer Hudson’s white dress looked better than last year’s metallic jacket nightmare, but I wasn’t thrilled with empire waist and halter that made her chest look like it was airborne.
Pregnant Jessica Alba dressed her baby bump in a pretty plum gown by Marchesa with a feathered bodice and pleated skirt while Cate Blanchett, another pregnant celeb, showed up in a deep purple gown with a jeweled neckline.
Jennifer Garner’s fishtail black dress was unremarkable, but best actress nominee Marion Cotillard took the fishtail look to a whole different level with metallic like scales flopping on her Jean Paul Gaultier gown. At least it was different. Now if only she had Lisa Rinna’s lips.
Cameron Diaz arrived in a multi-pleated blush colored gown by Dior, one of the few lighter neutral colors in the crowd. Keri Russell also kept it simple in a nude Nina Ricci with a sweetheart neckline.

Lisa Rinna’s Lips take over the red carpet
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
And now for the 2008 Oscar red carpet show starring Lisa Rinna’s lumpy lips. Does she really think that looks normal? Is that normal?
As usual, the first hour of the red carpet is pretty boring. I’m thinking the rain is the reason nearly everyone is wearing an updo but since they are I’ll call it a trend. E! guest host Kimora Lee even dressed up her updo with a $1 million hair jewel.
Early arrival, a braless Heidi Klum, wore a red John Galliano gown with her hair styled in an oversized bun, and glittering red jewels (including a clover bracelet that looked like her own design). It almost distracted me from Lisa Rinna’s overplumped lips.
More red arrived on the red carpet on ponytailed presenter Anne Hathaway who wore a red gown by Marchesa with floral blossoms at the shoulder.
The crowd went wild before the always classic George Clooney even set foot on the red carpet in a shawl collar tux by with bow tie.
I have no idea who half of these people on the red carpet are and there’s only an hour left.
