Just as important as who is in is, 

What did they wear before ??

This years crop-o-actresses is not really full of your cutting edge types but we can hope for the best. 

Best Actress

The trends have been all over this year on the RC's. Explosions of color or as always black. What award show was it last year when EVERYONE wore red?? 

All pretty safe here. 

• I loved Glen Close in this Armani , some didn't but I thought the structure really suited her.
• Viola Davis was one of my best dressed, for over all look as much as dress. 
• Rooney Mara in Nina Ricci is a special case. She has totally knocked it out of the park at some of the red carpets for GWTGT, but toned it down some for the Golden Globes.[ LOOK at this TLo post of her in a red Valentino. It is shockingly beautiful ] She is rocking that crazy chick fringe and hopefully will just let her hair down for the big night. Her family is worth like all the money, they own all the sports teams in Pittsburg ( or did ) and I think.. and this could be very wrong, own the Super Bowl bound NY GIANTS. Big rich.. which does effect the way they dress.... 
• It's Meryl Streep, and if she wants to wear an Alessandra Rich cowboy shirt and big comfy skirt with pockets she gets too. Are you the most acclaimed actress of possibly all time? Then sit down.
• Was not crazy about Michelle in this blue/purple... seemed to weigh her down.

We will do the movies themselves later on.
