1. Sandra Bullock 2010

Sandra Bullock's 2010 awards season was one for the books: She cleaned with a Golden Globe, SAG, and BAFTA for her role in The Blind Side, then took home the Oscar (just days after winning a Razzie for Worst Actress for her All About Steve part). It was epic. Her then-husband Jesse James cried when her name was called, then we all wanted to cry for her again when it was revealed weeks later that he'd been having an affair with a whole lot of tattoo models.

2. Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron turned heads on the red carpet at the 2003 Oscars, then she went on to win the Best Actress prize for her role in Monster during the show. She became the first person from Africa (she was born in South Africa) to win an Academy Award in a major acting category.

3. Beyonce (2005)

Beyonce was asked to perform during the 2005 Academy Awards. She performed three songs at the show, including a duet with Josh Groban, and was generally well-received -- except some people claimed she butchered the French language during her performance of "Vois Sur ton Chemin." Yikes.

4. Jamie Foxx (2005)

Jamie Foxx was so excited to win the Best Actor prize for Ray in 2005 that he got onstage and kissed presenter Charlize Theron! He brought his daughter Corinne as his Oscar date and said when he got to the podium (while on the verge of tears): "I want to thank my daughter, who said to me before I got up here, 'Dad, if you don't win tonight, you're still good.'" Aww!

5. Reese Witherspoon (2006)

Reese Witherspoon went from playing a ditzy sorority girl in Legally Blonde to playing Johnny Cash's wife in Walk the Line, a role that earned her the Best Actress Academy Award. She gave an emotional acceptance speech, thanking her kids ("who should be going to bed") and quoted June. She said at the end of her speech: "People used to ask June how -- how she was doin'. And she used to say, 'I'm just tryin' to matter.' And, I know what she means, you know. I'm just trying to matter and live a good life and make work that means something to somebody."

RedPoppy's 2011 Oscar Red Carpet Review

Last night's 83rd Annual Academy Awards felt like Amateur Hour thanks to a stony faced James Franco, a Glee club cheerleading Anne Hathaway, and Kirk Douglas, who managed to extended an already awkward telecast by a whole 15 minutes. Boy, I have never, ever been that overjoyed to see Billy Crystal. Ever! Thankfully the Oscars ceremony ushered in the final curtain bow for Hollywood's overblown, pompous, self congratulatory, and always visually stimulating Awards season. Let's face it, enough with the multiple gongs for a teary (but very well deserving) Best Actress who keeps thanking her fiancee for impregnating her, enough with"It's your year Mr. Firth" (though I am undoubtedly one of his biggest fans), and even though he mesmerized me in The Fighter I wish that just once Christian Bale would shut up, eat a sandwich, and lose the beard. YES you ALL did a wonderful job pretending to be someone else, now it's time to go home. In the meantime let's talk about what's important: the Red Carpet Fashions. Unfortunately this year's dress parade was rather disappointing as I waited in vain for those WOW moments which never came. Instead the red carpet was littered with many purple-hued looks and a whole lot of boring dresses I've already seen before (Reese Witherspoon I'm talking to you). On RedPoppy's Best Dressed list? Michelle Williams in white beaded Chanel Haute Couture, 14 year-old Hailee Steinfeld looking beautiful and age appropriate in Marchesa, fashion risk taker Cate Blanchett in lilac Givenchy Haute Couture (we'll talk about that front circle panel later), Matthew McConaughey's lady love Camila Alves stunning in black Kaufman Franco, a gorgeous Annette Benning in rhinestoned Naeem Kahn, and Amy Adams in navy beaded L'Wren Scott (we'll talk about that neckline later). And let's not forget the winners for Best Gongs of the night (scroll to the end)....And without further adieu let's look at the rest...

Michelle Williams is gamine and chic in Chanel Haute Couture.

Hailee Steinfeld is picture frothy perfect in Marchesa

Cate Blanchett in Givency Haute Couture. I like this. I really do. Although I can't help thinking that circle panel is a perfect place for a family photo...

Camila Alves is resplendent in Kaufman Franco. And her boyfriend isn't bad either

Annette Benning's rhinestoned Naeem Kahn dress is a show-stopper. Now that's how it's done!

Amy Adams in navy beaded L'Wren Scott. Navy + Redhead - unattractive mock neckline = Fabulous

Best-dressed family: The Bridges

Sandra Bullock in Vera Wang. Loved the dress, even loved the color. Did not love Sandy's 'touch me and I'll punch you' face. Too much botox, not enough sleep, or just plain p.o.'d?

Near, far, wherever she was, Celine Dion is back! Looking sleek and tres elegant in Armani Prive

Marisa Tomei looks like a vintage eggplant

Natalie Portman in violet maternity Rodarte.
If I was a country right now, I'd be Switzerland...

Javier Bardem: Perfecto. Hola, que guapo eres. Penelope Cruz: Utterly glowing from recent motherhood but also wearing utterly ugly and unflattering dress from 1996

Nicole Kidman (and hubby Keith Urban with a better blowout than you) looks like she won a Christian Dior dinner napkin fight. Also looks like she botoxed her hair bun...

Helena Bonham Carter showing us her Union Jack garter. Well at least someone's having a good time!

Resse Witherspoon recycling Julia Robert's look at the 2001 Oscars. I'm so bored, I'm getting slee...........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Scarlett Johansson in Ggaaah! maroon lace Dolce & Gabbana. Lose the color, get back your hot ex hubby!

Gwyneth Paltrow is Country Wrong and tanorexic in Calvin Klein

Paris Hilton And Sandra Bullock

Paris Hilton And Sandra Bullock

Paris Hilton took her pet pups over to visit a friend in Los Angeles today. I don’t see a camera crew, so I wonder if she’s on break from filming her show? I have to admit that I’m a teeny bit curious to check it out when it airs.

Sandra Bullock was photographed leaving her apartment in NY this afternoon with son Louis in tow. I understand her desire to shield him from the photogs, but toss us a bone! I want to see this little cutie pie once in a while!!

More shots continue to roll in from the red carpet of the Golden Globes awards.

Sandra Bullock, Helena Bonham Carter, Nicole Kidman, Sofia Vergara, Mila Kunis, Natalie Portman, Mark Wahlberg and wife Rhea Durham, Eva Longoria and Diana Agron all brought their A-Game!

Do you have a favorite yet? I’m having trouble deciding. I don’t have a shot of her yet, but I LOVED Megan Fox’s dress – and Jane Fonda looked phenomenal!

What do you think about Sandra Bullock’s new bangs?
