And the best and worst dressed nominees are...

As usual Halle Berry looked striking, as she captured the spotlight in strapless, cream colored, curve-hugging Marchesa gown, finished off with a dramatic train (above). But it was Winter Bone star Jennifer Lawrence who really showed us how to be va-va-voom. All eyes were on the young actress as she sported a curve-hugging classic, yet simple, red Calvin Klein frock that showed off her amazingly toned figure (below). Another leading lady in red was last year’s Best Actress winner Sandra Bullock. Gracing the red carpet in Vera Wang gown, The Blind Side star kept in simple, wearing minimal jewelery (only diamond earrings by Harry Winston) and her hair twisted back into a classic updo (below). The only downside of the dress, was the slightly over the top bow on the back.  Of course, a style salute must go out to the Blue Valentine star Michelle Williams. After winding up at the bottom of our “miss” list for the Golden Globes, William’s choice of a feminine lilac, high-neck Chanel gown has returned her to her rightful spot amongst the red carpet best dressed.
