Well the Oscars were not that bad this year, but they weren't that fantastic either.  The red carpet saw a lot of stars wearing navy and black, with a few pastels and metallics.  Nicole Kidman was the only one I saw in red, although the big bow on the side of her neck was a bit for me. Otherwise she looked stunning.   

As for the red carpet fashion, here are my top five favorite dresses:

Helen Mirren

Penelope Cruz

Reese Witherspoon

Cate Blanchett

Rachel Weisz

These ladies looked fabulous!  You can see photos from the red carpet on Oscar's webiste oscar.com  You can also find some red carpet pics at my favorite gossip blog website www.perezhilton.com
