Quvenzhane Wallis chose her dress because it was "sparkly and fluffy;" her purse because it was like her dog at home

Reese Witherspoon looks very old Hollywood. Its the hair.

by Ardua H 2/24/2013 11:36:24 PM

Brush up on the history of Edith Head as you watch these red carpet arrivals.

Love the bead work on Kerry Washington's spring-y gown. Even if it needed major adjustment post limo drop. #oscarsCO

Is Zoe Saldana's dress trimmed in leather? It's gorgeous and kind of tough.. #oscarsCO

By handing the reins to MacFarlane, the Academy has signaled its hope for buzzworthiness: MacFarlane as host is more likely to light up social media than a veteran comic like Steve Martin (he hosted in 2003 and 2010), a smart satirist like Jon Stewart (2008), or even an awkward pairing like Anne Hathaway and James Franco (2011).

Love that Jennifer Lawrence is wearing her yards of diamond necklace streaming down her back, but is white a litle too bridey-y? #oscar
