Eizabeth - Hi there. Elizabeth Wellington and local fashionista Jimmy Contreras are here at Valanni's blogging live. We'll tell you about the gowns, the accessories, the hair and the drama. Stay tuned. So far we like Miley Cyrus' gown by unknown designer, but the tiered petal skirt but Vanessa Hudgins, Marchesa, Jimmy says it looks like a Barbie doll dress. What kind of train is that?

Carrie - Join me in the annual Oscar prayer, first invoked by emcee Danny Kaye some 50-odd years ago: "The Academy asks that no acceptance speech be longer than the movie itself."

Are you looking forward to Hugh Jackman as host? I am. In an interview with him earlier this week, he was very disarming. Said that even if he falls lat on his face as an scar host it won't be the worst thing to happen to him onstage. That's because when he was playing Gaston in the London run of "Beauty and the Beast" and being treated for dehydration, he realized as he was hitting the final notes of a song that "the same muscles you use to sing are the same ones you use to pee." Peeing in his scarlet tights, he said, has to be more embarassing than anything that can happen to him tonight.

6:38	Carrie - Hey, Elizabeth: Did you laugh when Miley Cyrus said she was "star-stalking"? I was taken aback when she said, in front of her gorgeomother, that she "wanted to be adopted by Angelina Jolie."

6:39	Eizabeth - Yes I did... Why doesn't Ryan Seacrest never ask who the designer is? That just works my last nerves.

6:40	Eizabeth - This is Jimmy! Did you see Madonna in the Louis Vuitton....AMAZING!!!
