Hungover in the haze of Manolos, hair extensions and SERIOUS jewelry ... we offer this:

Best dressed chicks: Anna Hathaway, magnificent in red; Jennifer Garner, sexy and modern in black; and Amy Adams, who was channeling Veronica Lake and Old Hollywood. Loved Heidi Klum but still wondering what might have taken nest in her hair.

Of the boys: George Clooney, dapper as always. He can do no fashion wrong. Dwayne Johnson, quite elegant for a dude who was a big-time rasslin' star. And Colin Farrell, who is positively hot again, thinner, tan and a good bloke to bring mom as his date. We can tell straight away that he comes from good genes.

Kudos to the blogger last night who posted during our online Oscars event: He says Tilda Swinton looked like David Bowie. Made us blow our martini right out of our nose. We like her runaway originality. She has done some unusual roles.

Other thoughts: Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban looked awfully darned happy. Good to see. Didn't realize that Jessica Alba was so far along. Who knew? Next year, if they even let him in, Gary Busy definitely needs a handler — if not leg irons.
