Has anyone kept a list of who *did win? Not that I am suggesting comparisons!

This year the Red Carpet fashions were rather. well, bland. Excepting Hallie Berry, Julia Roberts and First-Ever-Afro-American-Best-Actress-Winner Hallie Berrie.
(see ** below) They and Dame Judy Dench were among the few who looked as if they had washed and combed their hair for the event!
And fashion maven Joan Rivers wore blue tinted glasses and diamond and emerald earings. Should have gone with diamonds n' saphires if you have blue glasses or if you love emeralds - green glasses... tsk tsk Joan!
As for the men ... well you just can't beat evening wear for sheer elegance!
