When it comes to fashion, it was an evening of two halves last night, as celebrities subconciously split themselves into two groups; those who donned dramatic dark outfits that made an eye-catching impact, and those who went for softer neutral shades nodding their heads to old-hat 50's glamour. Deep reds, blues and striking monochrome were favourites amongst the stars last night, as were lemon, peach and cream tones.
Here's a look through of who impressed me the most with their carefully chosen clobber!

Academy Awards - the announcements in a nutshell!
It was a film fan's most anticipated day today as the Academy Award nominations were announced by a gaggle of famous names including Chris Pine, J.J Abrams and Alfonso CuarĂ³n.
Here's a brief low-down of who and what was nominated, for the awards you've actually heard of, for this year's Oscars. With the added bonus of me stating my personal favourites of the season and those who I think are favourites to win! (You heard it here first, folks).

Her review
Imagine a hyper-real, super interactive version of Siri on your iPhone and you may have some idea as to what Spike Jonze's Her is all about. Set in Los Angeles in the near future, Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix) is drifting along, struggling to come to terms with the finalisation of his ongoing-divorce from his wife (Rooney Mara). Even his job writing "hand written letters" for his inarticulate, illiterate or downright lazy clients to give to whichever recipient they so choose is a constant reminder that he himself, is alone.

12 Years a Slave review: McQueen leaves the indie movies behind on his way to getting that little golden statue
In a time when cinema is inundated with films like Avengers Assemble, Free Birds and The Wolfpack Trilogy, it's easy to forget sometimes that some films are meant to evoke. Hit you hard, make you think and make you feel. 12 Years A Slave, based on the true story of a black man living in the 1800's is that, and then some.

"The Good Stuff" season is upon us!
Towards the end of the year, cinemas always see an influx of what I like to call "the good stuff movies". Ready for Oscar nominations in the turn of the new year, directors, actors, screenwriters and special effects teams bring out the big guns to impress, which means us audiences get some film gems towards the Christmas months!
I've already seen a few of these types of films emerging and it's only October! So I thought I'd break down a bunch of films that I already think will get some kind of Oscar tip next year...

Zero Dark Thirty review: Jessica Chastain shines
![]() |
| It's no surprise Chastain's performance earned her an Academy Award nomination |
Interpreted from the true-life military memoirs ‘No Easy
Day’ by Mark Owen, chronologically detailing the hunt and death of Osama Bin
Laden through a female protagonist, non-threatening pale-skinned Maya. Not the
kind of hero you’d likely expect to singularly lead a war movie.
When watching Zero
Dark Thirty, it is impossible not to feel like you are watching an extended
episode of Homeland. Jessica
Chastain’s Maya is certainly similar to Claire Danes’ Carrie Mathison, both
driven women who have a mission in mind and will not let it go. But Chastain’s
character is much more serious.
