[LolaSvelt]

Are you kidding me? It's like they don't want me to tune into E!

 

[Not Plain Jane]

My hopes (likely most won't come true) for the acting categories:

Best Actor: Brad Pitt (second, Gary Oldman)
Best Actress: Michelle Williams (second, Viola Davis)
Best supporting actor: Jonah Hill (second, Nick Nolte)
Best supporting actress: Octavia Spenser (second, Bérénice Bejo)

More likely it'll be Clooney/Bichir, Streep, and Plummer - probably one of my supporting actresses will win.

 

[loladonna]

I hope Bradley Cooper brings Zoe Saldana as his plus one so we can see her outfit.

 

[paintitblack]

Are you kidding me? It's like they don't want me to tune into E!

Ha! So true!

[fincher]

i can´t wait! It will be hard night for me cause have to write articles and make galleries from red carpet for my website but it´s definitely my most favourite evening of the year
Btw. Kristin Cavallari doesn´t look so bad as always...

 

[jexxica]

My most important hopes:


Best actress... Michelle Williams
Best actor... Gary Oldman


I see it difficult but I want them to win so bad...

 

[paintitblack]

Can't wait to see what Oldman's wearing, he always looks so dapper.

 

[Versace-Goddess]

Jlo, Angie and Halle. My big hopes.

 

[Wolkfolk]

I never thought this could be possible but Kristin Cavallari actually makes me like Ryan Seacrest. First time that I'm so glad to not have E!

 

[jexxica]

@EricWilsonNYT said that Gary Oldman will be wearing Paul Smith.

 

[loladonna]

Kristin Cavallari did a pre-show segment already. She's not working the red carpet. I don't know why she felt the need to stage a photoshoot in front of her hotel like tonight is her night or something.
