Rachel Weisz's Vera Wang, Penelope Cruz's Versace, J Lo, Helen Mirrin, Kate Blanchett, Kate Winslett and Caterine Deneuve's Gautier gown were all high on my list.THe men.....ummmmmmm there was some goodness tonight. Clive Owen, Daniel Craig, Robert Downey Jr, Hugh jackman - all nice eye candy.

Worst dress, hands down - Sally Kirkland. Why was she even there?

Best dressed to me:

J Lo
Rachel Weisz
Cate Blanchett
Reese Withersppon
Kate Winslet
Catherine Deneueve
Penlope Cruz

Worst Dressed to me:

Meryl Streep (okay, you knew you had no chance of winning and you showed up, but what were you wearing? Your daughter looked lovely, however)
Jennifer Hudson going in (she looked like one of the flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz with that horrible jacket)
Sally Kirkland


Jack Nicolson looks scarier every year, the shaved head this year did nothing for him but he's always good for a reaction shot.

Clive Owen looked HOT, so did Daniel Craig, Leo looked cute, as did Robert Downey, Jr.

Sherie Lansing looked classic

The schtick with Spielberg, Coppola and Lucas was pretty funny, even the nod to the Three Stooges.

I think Ken Watanabe was also robbed, should have been nominated.

Overall, I thought the show was smooth, Ellen was Ellen, but almost not even there. Her second outfit of the evening was lovely, though and Portia looked stunning on the red carpet too.
