Oscars Fug Carpet: Amy Adams in Versace
Amy's hair and face look reliably beautiful. But this looks like Donatella is crafting supermarket fan fiction -- called Fifty Shades of Safeway -- about an orgy between the toilet-paper aisle and some empty bags of clementines. [Photo: Fame/Flynet]

I'm sure you're expecting me to complain about the relative sheerness of the top here, and you're not wrong that I questioned it. But honestly, I think she looks pretty damn dramatic and good in this outfit -- the exception, for me, being the flower

Her makeup in this photographs better than it looked on the E! telecast, so maybe my office TV is just terrible. My main concern about this look was that her head felt like it wasn't styled in harmony with it, as if the cranial plan was well underway

It is a great and true delight to be able to say, of Julianne Moore -- in Chanel, no less! -- that I think she totally nailed it: Because, truly, context is everything. Are you going to wake up tomorrow, dreaming of this gown? Will it float through your sartorial fantasies for
