After the Golden Globes were handed out during a press conference, I just wasn’t prepared to experience the Oscarsr the same way. Thank god, we don’t have to worry about that anymore. Instead, we can (generously) pour ourselves some wine, get out the cheese and crackers, and park on the couch for this Sunday’s show. Even though the show doesn’t start until 5pm, (west coast only - you east-coasters need to tune in at 8pm) I think I’ll be camped out around 2 or 3pm so I can see each and every gown and tuxedo that walks down the red carpet. TV Guide’s red carpet coverage is hosted by Lisa Rinna and joey Fatone so I’ll definitely check that out.
I was happy to hear that some fun people were presenting at the awards, adding more fun gowns to watch for. In particular, I’m excited to see: Jessica Alba (in maternity wear!), Cate Blanchett, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Garner, Anne Hathaway, Katherine Heigl, Nicole Kidman, Hilary Swank, and Renee Zellweger. Lisa Rinna is also doing a Fashion Wrap up on Monday night at 7pm should anyone miss any of the night’s gowns.
To get in the mood, here is a link to our predictions of the big winners.
And if you’re in it to see the dresses, here is a slideshow of the most memorable gowns over the years.

I can’t believe that “No Country For Old Men” is winning so many awards and is actually favored in Vegas to win Best Picture. In fact, not only is it favored, but it’s a HUGE favorite. I saw all five Best Pic noms, and “There Will Be Blood” was the best, in my opinion. If you’re a gambler, you can get 5-1 on “Blood”. Nothing makes the Oscars more enjoyable than having a few bucks on the line.
Daniel Day-Lewis is a lock, by the way.
