Second only to the awards themselves, fashion is one of the main reasons why so many of us watch the Oscars. So along with everyone else out there with a blog and a voice, we’ve decided to give you our opinion on fashion last night. We’ll save you from our opinions on the winners and why Amy Ryan was robbed and stick to what we know. Fashion.

Amy Adams was probably one of the best dressed women last night. She channeled her inner Ava Gardner in an emerald green gown by Proenza Schouler that complimented her long red locks.

Heidi Klum was in wearing the color of the night. She looked stunning in a red dress by Galliano. The high collared number, which will be auctioned for charity – something that’s always in fashion, screamed old Hollywood and looked perfect next to Seal in his Dior tuxedo. So if you’re a size two and need something to wear, look no further! Yes, red was the color of the night and several stars wanted to match the color of the carpet they were walking on. Or, it was the best way to make sure they got your picture taken in a color that screamed both fire engine and Communist China.

Miley Cyrus donned a signature dress from Valentino in red. It was sophisticated and age-appropriate. Something she hadn’t been dressing recently. Miley, you’re the cornerstone of the Disney corporation right now….please don’t go Lohan on us! Another former Disney princess wore red last night. Anne Hathaway or Princess Mia Thermopolis as some of us still like to refer to her as, glowed in a red number by Marchesa gown. The Grecian draped dress that was accented with flowers over the shoulder was reminiscent of Kate Winslet’s gown she wore in 2002.

Even after getting mauled by Gary Busey, Jennifer Garner looked phenomenal in the black taffeta grown by Oscar de la Renta accented by glistening diamonds by Van Cleef & Arpels. It was a nice to see the future soccer mom rock something other than denim and looking fabulous. Renee Zellweger looked like she has just stepped out of her movie Chicago last night. She showed up in a dazzling dress made by Carolina Herrera and wearing a shorter hairdo a’la Victoria Beckham.

Laura Linney , who left last night without a golden statue, looked gorgeous in the navy blue number by Michael Kors. (Yeah, Michael Kors can do something right on occasion.) Linney looks elegant with the greatest of ease and there are some women who could learn a lot from her, especially when it comes to rescuing other women from creepy dudes like Busey. She is a true wing-woman! Hilary Swank is another one who could teach a class on how to dress properly for a ceremony like this. Swank showed up wearing Versace and diamonds from Chopard. She walked down the red carpet looking amazing and it all comes so naturally to her. Not bad for a girl who was fired from 90210?

It wasn’t a night of highlights, there were a lot of misses send down the carpet. Best Actress winner, Marion Cotillard wore a fish-inspired gown by Jean Paul Gaultier in white that should have been left deep in the sea.

Jennifer Hudson , last year’s Supporting Actress winner, is a fashion loser again. Her white dress by Robert Cavalli would have looked perfect if she didn’t have so much on top. The author felt like Kate Darnton obsessing over the boobs of the Celtic Dancers. We’re just grateful Ms.Hudson left her bolero coat at home this year.

A pregnant Jessica Alba showed up wearing Marchesa. Alba, who is gorgeous on her own and doesn’t need much of anything to accent her natural good looks, overdid it with this wine colored feathery number. She looked like a peacock that fell in a vat of Franzia.

Now, the two worst of the worst were Tilda Swinton and Diablo Cody. Swinton is a “serious” actress and probably feels she can’t be bothered with the silliness of fashion. Home girl showed up in a muumuu that even Ms. Roper wouldn’t wear. The fact that a designer like Lavin would admit to creating a black velvet potato sack is almost as shocking as someone actually wearing it.

Finally, Diablo Cody. “Look at me; I’m the darling of the Oscars! I’m so alternative! Screw you geriatric voters! I’m in indie and wrote an overrated movie script that has been embraced by hipsters all over! I’m too cool for this! Where’s my stripper pole?” Okay, we get it, you’re punk rock. But do you hear that? That would be the hands of time and the sound of your 15 minutes coming to a close. Thank God. The only thing that would have saved the outfit is if she called up Shauna Sands wore some clear plastic stripper shoes instead of slippers from the dollar store.

Andre Leon Talley, we are not. But we do know fashion.
