Updated 5:45 p.m. PT: "Glee" stars Lea Michele and Dianna Agron caught our eye with some fanciful bodice work on their dresses. Michele's look reminds us a bit of something straight out "Terminator" ... doesn't that look like molten metal? Or something? Advantage, Agron.

Updated 4 p.m. PT: Uggie, the dog from "The Artist" who has been charming fans on red carpets around the world, made his appearance. Guess they opted not to put him in a little tux, but he did have on his little bow tie. George Clooney did wear a tux. "The Descendants" star looked his usual movie-star self as he posed with girlfriend Stacy Kiebler.

I really loved Zooey Deschanel's Green dress and clutch. Her hair looked cute too!
She's adorable no matter what she wears...
Zooey! Zooey! And - IMNSHO - I haven't seen Tilda look this feminine off screen since...for EVAH!
My vote is on Jolie, the best of the bunch. real class.
Don't like the tattoos...
Zooey, Sophia, Tilda, Mila in no particular order...sigh....
If I only get one vote, Angelina for sure, thumbs down. No one can touch her when she doesn't want to be upstaged.
Sarah Michelle Gellar's dress is absolutely horrid! Lea Michele and Dianna Agron should have switched dresses. I think they would have looked better in the other one's dress.
Angelina walked away with it!! Stunning, Elegant, Serene... you name it...she possessed the night!
Lea Michele looked better than Agron. Sarah Michelle was a disaster. I always enjoy Swinton and she didn't disappoint. The author is off base choosing Wood over Theron and Jolie. Jolie, then Theron, then Wood. Ritchie is poopsie and Danes has style. I kinda thought Ritchie's dress went a tad too low down the back but I'd call those two a tie. Deschanel? I'm stumped on what to say. I know by my own tastes I ought to dislike the look but somehow I like it. But I don't also. I'm confused there. As for the 2 ladies from "The Help". They look great though Spencer could have used a necklace, earrings, or bracelet to offset a bit.
What was Michelle Gellar thinking? It looks like her pen leaked on a rumpled bedsheet!
Emma Stone and Natalie Portman were my faves because their overall looks were perfection. Handbags, makeup, etc. Kate Beckinsale missed this because of overdoing it with the jewelry.
Also, please, somebody, anybody, get Charlize to eat a sandwich. Or something.
Finally, why was Nicole Richie even there…?
Emma Stone and Viola Davis - both striking in red!
not one dress here really impressed me but my fave vote goes to Kate Beckinsale.
and what was SMG thinking with that blue 'smoke' thing?????
Good thing SMG never wore that dress in the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Zooey Sofia Mila & Angelina definately had the best dresses of the night and Zooey just looks adorable like the girl next door.
SMG let her daughter pick her dress, she said so on the red carpet. Which just goes to show you that you should never leave fashon decisions to a 3 year old!
