After months of the writer's strike, Hollywood finally got a chance to put on its finery for the 80th Academy Awards. Oscar bloggers got busy early, universally swooning over Heidi Klum's sweeping gown and Marchesa was in evidence, with both Anne Hathaway and Jessica Alba wearing the label. Red dresses were in abundance. Besides Klum and Hathaway, Katherine Hiegl, singer Miley Cyrus and Helen Mirren all donned scarlet.
Meanwhile some big stars underwhelmed. Cameron Diaz's dress was pretty but hardly show-stopping. Tilda Swinton eschewed the typical big gown thing, as is her wont. And Jennifer Hudson's white dress was not as flattering as the singing talent deserves.
