Check out our coverage of the Awards themselves here.
Ah, Awards Season, you begin in earnest with the Golden Globes, and end with the assignment of little gold statues one fateful starlet each year can't help but mirror in her gown choice. I'd make a joke about starlets not being able to resist the exposure of the Golden Globes either, but Morena Baccarin made it for me (boom tisch! try the soup, I'll be here all week.)
But seriously, it's been a bit of a big-build-up year for Globes fashion, with multiple young hopefuls slipping on the chic gloves to box in the hottest frock stakes (but not actual gloves, which no one seems to wear, more's the pity). After last year's embarrassing After School Special that saw actual child Hailee Steinfeld dress better than everyone else, it was time for Gen Y to strike back.
Top of the style watch lists were Felicity Jones, Rooney Mara, Elizabeth Olsen, Shailene Woodley and Emma Stone, all of whom have established themselves in one way or another as potential style leaders. While we're yet to see what Jones and Olsen wore, and Woodley's outfit turned out to be a pretty snore, but Mara and Stone did not disappoint, looking darkly daring in inky Nina Ricci and goddess elegant in Lanvin respectively.
As far as the Old(er) Guard of Hollywood style went, the results were pretty predictable. Michelle Williams looked good and wore an emerging(ish) designer, namely a kid as 'it' as she is, Jason Wu. Ange looked stiff in Atelier Versace, while Nicole Kidman looked born to her studded regular Versace dress. Selma Hayek did PPR proud in a Gucci gown from the Spring Summer collection, Helen Mirren looked classier than a butler with a British accent and Tina Fey, Jane Lynch, Kirsten Wiig and Amy Poehler continued to demonstrate that humour and dress sense are in no way correlated (which explains why I look awesome today and you haven't laughed once).
That being said, here are some 'awards' of our own:
Worst Designer in a Feature Fabric (Satin): Zac Posen
Every girl he dressed looked stiff, crumpled and awkward, and he dressed a lot.
Best Mythological Reference: Evan Rachel Wood as the Gucci Mermaid
We thought fish tails were over until Wood and Frida Giannini stretched the skirt till its logical extreme. Lost city of Atlantis meets the Emerald City.
Most obvious choice of frock on a non-obvious actress: Tilda Swinton in Haider Ackermann
Of course she wore Haider. She pulled it off, difficult though the source material was. This wasn't the designer's finest work.
Most mainstream gowns: Vera Wang
Here comes the Bride, all dressed in tizz-just-this-side-of-taste
Best/worst Torvill and Dean ice dancing experience: Lea Michelle
Do you think the sequins turn into projectiles when she pirouettes?
Best example of advertising dimming star style: Mila Kunis
Dior without Galliano just isn't that great, and while we think it's wonderful that they're only casting Nice Jewish Girls to distance themselves from his outpouring of hate, I wish they hadn't picked Mila. She looked so amazing this year, and now she's contractually obligated to be blah.
Most surprising choice of gown (in the best possible way): Diana Agron in Giles
Bright red, covered in swans, a little bit cray, all class. This blew us out of the water.
Best beach look: Heidi Klum in Calvin Klein
I'm 100% sure I saw someone in her outfit on Bondi the other day, but she still looked better than almost everyone else, so I'll let it slide.
Best mixer of feelings: Zooey Deschanel in Prada
I feel… strongly about this. I just don't know what that strong feeling is.
Best non-Actress in an evening ensemble: Madonna
Madge looked mad (in the amazing sense) in Reem Acra. Shame about the movie and song that won her the gong.
Most average use of Lanvin: Natalie Portman
I think this was as much Alber's fault as Nat's, but ennnngh. So very ennngh.
Best in show: Black and White
Claire Danes and Kate Winslet both looked excellent, but the real winner here is how much fashion inspiration we're going to be taking from The Artist.
