Viola Davis In Reem Acra


Anne Hathway In Armani Prive

It just seems like yesterday when Tararji P. Henson was on every red carpet known to mankind for her portrayal of Queenie in "The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button" last year. The actress looked stunning in her ivory tiered strapless Roberto Cavalli dress paired with an exquisite necklace.

Many of my favorites also blew me away such as Anne Hathaway in that magnificent sequined Armani Prive dress. Viola Davis was a newcomer on the carpet and she rose to the occasion in a marvelous metallic halter Reem Acra dress. Many didn't appreciate Tilda Swinson's Lanvin ensemble but I felt that she pulled it off beautifully. Why should she be force into an evening gown?

I am anticipating Mo'nique and Gabourey Sidibe gracing the awards for the first time and lets keep our fingers cross that both of them bring it all the way home.

For the most part, they played it safe last year so I am praying this year for a few surprises and risks(not Lady Gaga craziness) on the red carpet for the 82nd Academy Awards on Sunday.
