Jada Pinkett Smith wins it hands down for me. Every year she gets its right.

Queen Latifah shows how a woman of size can dress elegantly and with style.

There's a lot of that 'champagne' colour about, washes most of them out.... and a lot of black, not loving any of them really!

Anyone see Helena Bonham Carter's dress? I've not seen it, but read it was one of the red carpet disasters....

orangina · 06/03/2006 14:18

philip seymour hoffman is a deeply unatttractive man....
(still wading through the photos, did see helena b-h looking eccentric...)

orangina · 06/03/2006 14:19

haha! just spotted joan rivers with what looks like a beige grass skirt around her boobs.....

I've seen her look worse - mind you that's not saying much!

Earlybird · 06/03/2006 14:34

Hmmm - HBC, doesn't look bad in that photo, and IMO, her dress is an appealing colour. The report I read specifically commented on her white, chunky shoes being particularly awful - but they don't show in that pic.

I'm delighted to note that Jennifer Lopez looks f*cking horrible. That acid phlegm colour makes her look as mean and pinched and witchy as her personality.

satine · 06/03/2006 15:04

Loved Reese Witherspoon's dress, and I thought Rachel Weisz looked fine considering how pregnant she is. But I didn't like Charlize Theron's dress, or Felicity Huffman's. But the worst for me was Nicole Kidman. She is so thin now that she looks quite grotesque. Such a shame. Looking forward to the highlights on TV tonight! And I agree that Philip Seymour Hoffman is not an attractive man. But at least his real voice is nice. I'm not sure I could stomach a whole film of that lisping, high pitched whine he has in Capote (although I know it's supposed to be a pretty good take off of Truman!)

Thought Uma Thurman (or however you spell it) looked very elegant with a beautiful dress, and classic hair. But, she was yet another woman in the long line of beige/nude dresses.

Thought Jennifer Anniston's black dress did her complexion/skin tone no favours. She should find out from Cod where to get her colours done!

Judi Dench looks fantastic
Is sandra bullock shagging keanu then, they were together on the red carpet.?

suzywong · 06/03/2006 15:11

Wolfgang Puck and his famous chocolate Oscars is the top trump so far IMHO

Have a vague recollection that Sandra Bullock married recently....but, I could be wrong.

georginars · 06/03/2006 15:18

Earlybird · 06/03/2006 15:24

Thanks georg for that photo. Well, the shoes definitely don't add anything to the overall look, but don't know if I'd single them out as being especially awful...

georginars · 06/03/2006 15:25

yes I thought they were OK. her hair on the other hand....

RachD · 06/03/2006 15:26

Agree with lucycat - champagne, black - none of them looked great.
Michelle Williams - who ??? - in the yellow with the red lipstick - yuk !
And even the very very beautiful Jessica Alba - dress NOT flattering!

What is going on ?

desperateSCOUSEwife · 06/03/2006 15:28

noddyholder · 06/03/2006 15:32

spacedonkey · 06/03/2006 15:33

wtf is going on with Felicity Huffman's boobs?!

Uma looked fabulous

RachD · 06/03/2006 15:44

spacedonkey - I love huffman, but no, really bad - tit ? none, but droopy.
Cod said norks for swank, but I think we need to add huffman to cods list, don't you ?

spacedonkey · 06/03/2006 15:46

small norks are fine but not in that dress!

not so much spaniel ears as chihuahua ears Grin
