- Best Dressed Award: Kate Winslet
Wearing the colour of the season - electric blue - Kate Winslet is the only actress that made me say wow last night. The British actress was truly outstanding wearing a stunning Narciso Rodriguez body-con gown, which hugged her in all the right places. The deep v-neck proved again that Kate is not afraid to show off her cleavage. She completed her look with Chopard jewels. I particularly loved her earrings.
- Best Runner Up Award: Evan Rachel Wood
Had it not been for Kate, Evan Rachel Wood would have won Best Dressed wearing this stunning teal Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2009 off-the-shoulder gown. She accented the gown with a eagle brooch, which worked well with rest of her antique looking jewelry. She completed her look with purple Sergio Rossi heels, and a matching clutch.
- Most Dramatic Award: Teri Hatcher
I like drama on the red carpet. And Teri Hatcher certainly provided that last night wearing this Monqiue Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2009 gown, which had an asymmetric bodice, folds on the skirt, a train, shoulder detail, and a black belt to finish off the look. It all sounds to much, but it worked perfectly. Teri more than did it justice as she literally bounced with joy down the red carpet, looking particularly pleased with herself.
- Most Undecided Award: Eva Longoria
I went back and forth a lot with Eva Longoria in this Jenny Packham Spring 2009 dress. I like the dress, the colour, and the gold crystal and turquoise embellished neckline. But I really dislike Eva's hair, and the nude mesh part of the dress.
- Best White Award: Anne Hathaway
There were many white gowns on the red carpet last night, but Anne Hathaway's was the most exquisite. The actress wore a white Azzaro gown with crystal embellished neckline and belt. This dress sees the classic beauty return to her outstanding red carpet form, we have long been admiring. Her look was complete with Cartier jewels, and Christian Louboutin heels.
- I Know You Probably Hate It, But I Love It Award: Marisa Tomei
No red carpet is complete without a Elie Saab gown, and Marisa Tomei did not disappoint in this canary yellow Elie Saab Spring 2009 gown with satin floral detail. The floral detail started on the shoulder, then cascaded down her back. She is on fire at the moment.
- Back On Track Award: Freida Pinto
After Freida Pinto's disappointing Golden Globes gown, she was back to her best wearing a pale blue Marchesa gown. She completed her look with a Roger Viver box clutch, and Martin Katz jewels.
- Best Dressed Couple Award: Diane Lane and Josh Brolin
Diane Lane and Josh Brolin together always make me swoon. He was gorgeous wearing a black on black suit, whilst she shone, so elegantly, wearing a red David Meister halter gown.
- Most Vibrant Award: Viola Davis
I have not seen any movies with Viola Davis, so she was not really on my radar, but she surely grabbed my attention wearing a vibrant yellow David Meister draped stretch charmeuse one shoulder evening gown. The colour really popped against her skin.
- Best Red Award: Claire Danes
There were a lot of red dresses on the SAG red carpet last night, but I loved the silhouette of Claire Danes' Nina Ricci gown. The dress was also set apart with it's asymmetrical skirt, and its sheer cap sleeves. She completed her look with Fred Leighton jewels and Jimmy Choo heels.
- Best Couture Award: Jennifer Morrison
Couture doesn't have to be about highly structured pieces. It can also be about gorgeous floaty ultra feminine pieces like this Anne Valrie Hash Fall 2008 Couture strapless gown, which Jennifer Morrison wore last night. The lace skirt and embellished neckline look beautifully delicate.
- Best Snap Back Award: Amy Poehler
The last time I saw Amy Poehler on the red carpet she was pregnant, now she has snapped back to her fabulous pre-baby figure. The comedian also wore white, and looked angelic wearing a plunge-neck Roberto Cavalli Pre-Fall 2008 gown with a brooch detail on the empire waist. Silver peep toes and diamond jewels completed the look.
- Va Va Voom Award: Christina Hendricks
WOW. I have said it before, and I will say it again. What an amazing figure Christina Hendricks has. Her racy red Carolina Herrera ruffle neck gown, does nothing but enhance it. Glorious.
- Quietly Consistent Award: Jenna Fischer
Jenna Fischer does not wear anything that screams "Look At Me", but she always manages to look fantastic. She did so again last night wearing a dove grey silk chiffon plunge-neck Pamella Roland gown with yellow and grey beading along the empire-waist.
- Best Deja Vu Award: Lisa Edelstein
Lisa Edelstein is wearing a red Reem Acra Pre-Fall 2009 asymmetric gown, we have seen many times before. Mainly because there is a Resort 2009 dress which looks very similar which was recently worn by Gabrielle Union.
THE WORST
- Worst Dressed Award: America Ferrera
I would really like to know what was going on in America Ferrera's mind when she picked this Vera Wang gown. The colour surprisingly washed her out, the draping on the hips is extremely unflattering, and the black tulle pieces that criss-crosses across her bodice was just annoying and only added to the overall disappointment of this gown.
- Deja Vu Award: Penelope Cruz
Penelope Cruz fails again with the same hairstyle as the Golden Globe Awards, and another dress that fails to wow me despite being by Azzedine Alaia.
- Most Underwhelming Award: Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie, we get it. We get that fact that you would look great in a potato sack. We also get the fact that you don't care about how you look on the red carpet, and that you no longer try. But you could have nipped in this Max Azria Spring 2009 gown just a tad to give it some shape. Oh and sweetie, you have the dress on back to front. It was presented as a plunge-neck dress.
- Non Supporting Actress Award: Emily Blunt
Emily Blunt's Pamella Roland Spring 2009 silver dress sparkled. It was gorgeous. But the top half just was very uncomfortable to look at. I know it would have been impossible to wear a bra with dress, but the twins lacked support.
- Most Disappointing Award: Kyra Sedgwick
Kyra Sedgwick always looks spectacular every red carpet season. This season, I have not been swept off my feet by her. This vintage Chanel dress was very ill fitting around the bust for me. Hopefully she will wow me at the Oscars.
- I Should Be Thankful It's Not Black But...Award: Rosario Dawson
But Rosario Dawson doesn't wear this pewter Dolce & Gabbana mermaid gown well, which is surprising for someone with her curves. The dress is very fussy around the bust area, and has also been worn by another celebrity much better.
- Worst White Award: Olivia Wild
There was a lot of white on the red carpet last night, but Olivia Wilde's was the least flattering. Surprisingly it was a Ralph Lauren Spring 2009 gown.
- Too Dark Award: Carolina Herrera
I love the dramatic nature of this Carolina Herrera strapless gown that Marcia Cross is wearing. But I just think it was way too dark for her. This would suit someone like Dita von Teese, who can wear dark Gothic type gowns with her pale skin.
- Worst Desperate Housewives Star Award: Nicolette Sheridan
Nicolette Sheridan wore a sea blue asymmetric Roberto Cavalli Resort 2009 dress. I like the dress, but there is something about Nicolette that cheapens the whole look for me.
- Too Casual Award: Tina Fey
Tina Fey wore a black strapless Brian Reyes dress, which is cute, but it would have been even cuter on Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens or someone else around that age group.
