It seems like red was the most popular color of choice for dresses this year.
My vote for best dressed goes to Helen Mirren. But she's so classy, she'd probably look good in a potato sack.
oh, Thank you, dear!! I had wanted to see pictures of more than just the five or six that have been all over the news. I've been too swamped to surf to find them, so I'm VERY grateful that you weren't!
Penelope Cruz is missing her most attractive accessory, Javier Bardem.
Helen Mirren was my absolute fave. She's so sexy (I feel compelled to add - 'for her age' - isn't that shameful?!)
Katherine Heigl looked like an old-Hollywood movie star with the red dress & lips and classic hairstyle.
James McAvoy is married? Bummer...
I didn't watch the Oscars and I haven't even looked to see who won! How bad is that! Those are some beautiful dresses though! I love Heidi Klum. I've become a bit of a Project Runway fan!
Wowie kazowie -- beautiful gowns -- eye candy, all of them! Helen Mirren's was my fave, too -- Jennifer Garner's was gorgeous, too. Great Thursday Thirteen, my friend!
I have to say I only saw the awards but not the dresses. Some of them are very nice.
Wow, great list. I missed some of those dresses, but you got all the ones I loved. You have fabulous taste! ;-)
You know, you have to have a great body to pull dress #6. Otherwise you're going to look like an overblown fish.
I had not even seen Diane Lane in any of the coverage, and you are right, that dress is beautiful.
Hellen Mirren looked fantastic, but then, she always does. I totally admire that woman!
I loved all the red dresses, but I bet all those women were PISSED that they were all wearing red, when they probably figured they'd be the stand out, you know? ;-)
I thought Helen Mirren looked amazing! Red is my favourite colour and a lot seem to have chosen it this year.
I like all the elegant draping. Classical, elegant. Helen Mirren has my vote for the classiest lady around!
Cruz is the only one I recognize. See what happens when you give up television. Have a great TT. :)
I love the red carpet. I feel like I've been jipped if I miss it.
They said there was a lot of red on the red carpet. Helen Mirren always looks gorgeous. I thought Jennifer Garner looked lovely, too.
I love Jennifer Garner's gown!!Love the hair too!
Katherine Heigl looked gorgeous. Some people are overwhelmed in red but she stunning.
Thanks for the pictures, I love seeing the fashions even when I don't watch the shows.
Happy TT

We see which color is the popular one this year: Brillant, vivid red!
And I don't like the Jean-Paul Gauthier 's dress, it makes me think of a bed sheet!
Jennifer wore her white and pink knee length night gown and her monkey house shoes. Designer unknown. I haven't seen any of these pics and aren't they all lovely....Jennifer

Katherine Heigl looked like classic Hollywood Starlett!! Breathtaking. :D
Beautiful! Just beautiful.
I didn't watch this year. Completely forgot about it. Happy TT.
I like number 12 and number 3 the best. I was surprised how many gowns didn't have a designer's name attached.
I love the dresses at these events. And this one was fun because they auctioned off the red dresses. So the ladies wore second wonderful dresses. YAY!! Heidi Klum is really great - my fav.
Happy TT!
