The Oscars: The best (and worst) of the red carpet

It wasn’t the most thrilling red carpet at last night’s Academy Awards--pastels and neutrals are lovely, but not that exciting when they parade en masse on TV. There were some high points--Sandra Bullock in Marchesa, Meryl Streep in an elegant white jersey Chris March dress and Maggie Gyllenhaal in fresh-off-the-runway Dries. Vera Farmiga’s uber-ruffled Marchesa split the pundits, but everyone pretty much agrees that Charlize’s “Cinnabon” dress was a no.
