I especially loved how the nominees for Best Actor and Actress were introduced by their peers with a light anecdote about previous films they have done together. Tim Robbins' introduction of Morgan Freeman was hilarious...as Tim was reminiscing about what an amazing actor Mr. Freeman is and how close they became working on The Shawshank Redemption, he said, "I'll never forget what you told me about friendship at the end of filming that movie. You said, 'Friendship is when one friend will get the other a cup of coffee. Now do you think you could do that for me, Ted? It is Ted, right?' " Who knows if it's a true story but it was pretty damn funny.
Anyway, I digress. Back to the Fashion! Here are The Rock Law of Style's coveted winners and the dreaded "There's Always Next Year" crew.
First up is Best Dressed. And the winner is...

Sandra looked absolutely stunning in this Marchesa gown and was the epitome of Hollywood glamour. The dress along with the simple yet flawless hair and makeup made her my favorite of the night by far. On top of that, she took home the top prize of Best Actress, which truly made it her evening. She dressed to win, and win she did! Congratulations, Sandy B!
Other nominees for Best Dressed included:
Cameron Diaz in gorgeous Oscar de la Renta and bright red lips. Dressed by Rachel Zoe.

Demi Moore looked amazing in her Alterier Versace nude gown. I swear the older she gets the better she looks! Also dressed by Rachel Zoe - great job Team Zoe!

Carey Mulligan was super cute in this quirky yet beautiful Prada number that completely embodies her personality. I love the asymmetrical hem - short in the front and a long train in back.

Rachel McAdams held her own in this muted print by Elie Saab that proved she is a true star.

And finally, Vera Farmiga stood out in her berry colored Marchesa gown. The color was incredible and quite refreshing in the rather dull color palette that most others opted for. I know a lot of people weren't crazy about this dress, but I liked the risk. Plus, it is similar to the Marchesa gown I chose from NY Fashion Week as Oscar Worthy...so I'm a bit biased!

Now on to the, "There's Always Next Year" crew. Sorry, ladies, but someone has to say it!
Worst Dressed - And the winner is...
Faith Hill

Faith Hill's cheesy lingerie look was such a flop that I couldn't even find who it was by. I guess no designer wanted to fess up to that inappropriate disaster! Next time keep it classy, not trashy, Faith.
Zoe Saldana was another example of a gorgeous woman gone wrong in the dressing room. While the top half of this Givenchy gown is absolutely fabulous, the bottom half just does not belong! High slit, ombre shading, train, and Spanish dancer ruffles with a gold beaded bodice?! Really, Givenchy? Really?

Charlize Theron turned heads in this Dior gown, but not in a good way. The Madonna-esque swirl cones were just plain unattractive.

Mariah Carey is no stranger to the worst dressed list, but this look was boring, unflattering, and I'm giving it the generic "Dillard's Prom Dress" stamp. It just does nothing for me - surprising considering it's Valentino.

As this Awards season comes to a close, I will say that overall we have seen some amazing looks. While not everyone can be a winner on the red carpet, all of these ladies do have an insane amount of talent, and I applaud them for that. Congratulations to all of the winners and nominees, and thanks for reading!
