BaboonTalk - Celebrities, Hollywood

Seems to me that red is the color of the night at Academy Awards.

Partial list of the stars that graced the red carpet with red frocks on Sunday night at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles are Katherine Heigl, Helen Mirren, Miley Cyrus, Julie Christie, Ruby Dee, Anne Hathaway and Heidi Klum

Heavily preggers Cate Blanchett was beautiful in Dries van Noten halter gown with flower-patterned beading on the skirt, as well as Jessica Alba, who equally hugged their transformed figure in empire-waist gowns, looked really was elegant in a plum-colored strapless Marchesa gown with a plume of feathers at the bust, admitted that she is a follower of designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig.

Last minute suspenseful ending of the writer’s strike paved way to this Sunday’s Oscars. Guaranteeing plethora of glitz, glamour and fabulousness, save for gloomy movies, potential downpour and a lack of garish parties threaten to lessen the excitement on Hollywood’s mother of all awards night.

Gil Cates, Academy awards producer has assured a time-honored award rites overflowing with stars like George Clooney and Cate Blanchett, and this week host Jon Stewart and his writers have been cooking up ‘one-liners’ to engross millions of global audiences who are likely to watch on television.

“Phew!”

You might not know the fact that ABC is receiving a great deal of income for a 30-second spot during the Oscars broadcast, as much as $US1.82 million! A seven per cent swell over last year’s top price of about $US1.7 million, according to Advertising Age.

The Academy award’s air relay, which will be broadcasted around the planet, only got progress last week following a three-month strike by screenwriters had endangered to call off the star-studded event.

Whopping advertising cost is due to more than just irked interests because of the conflict over whether the broadcast would even take place.
