Before heading into the Kodak Theatre to pick up the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress statues (it's like they knew), Kate Winslet and Penelope Cruz fit twice the glam into a single photo frame by posing together on the red rug.

Sadly, Penelope's beau Javier Bardem was M.I.A. (as was M.I.A.).  But, we reluctantly happily accepted Penelope's date, her sister Monica Cruz, as a Javier substitute!

We're lukewarm on Freida Pinto's first Oscar gown.  Love the color.  A bit unsure about the rest of it.  To us, it's like the floor-length version of something a Russian figure skater would wear.  That said, she could have showed up in a feed sack and looked 1000 times hotter than we'll ever be.

Well, even if her dress didn't win our vote, her movie sure did!  And, the Academy agreed.  Slumdog Millionaire cleaned house tonight!

Personally, our favorite gown of the night.

Marisa Tomei glammed up the evening's popular off-white trend with this ornately ruffled/folded Versace piece of perfection.

We know Miley Cyrus is known for her "Best of Both Worlds" thing.  Her look at tonight's Academy Awards seemed to be hovering in purgatory between innocent teenager and adulthood.

Exhibit A) Cyrus cleavage.
Exhibit B) Holiday Barbie-esque gown.

We're not sure how we feel about this all... but she did look fantastic.  Also, her dress reminds us of what might happen if you put a magnifying glass over Marion Cotillard's gown from last year.

Anne Hathaway wore that gorgeous number to tonight's ceremony (before changing into another dress to "play Nixon"... before changing back into it to be herself).

It makes us think of the dress Ariel wears at the end of The Little Mermaid when King Triton gives her legs and she runs out of the water to Prince Eric.  (Weird turn for us to take there, we know.)
