As we all know, the Oscars isn t about winning awards at all - in fact, we ve already forgotten who hosted the Oscars, what movie won the Best Picture Oscar and what an Oscar actually looks like - because the Oscars is all about lovely dresses and stuff.
Oscar night is the one spot on the movie-making calender when actresses can swap the dirty rags that they wear for the rest of the year while playing impoverished drug addict victims of domestic violence for a selection of glamorous dresses with plunging necklines, figure-hugging cuts and other stuff we ve read in girly magazines that we don t fully understand.
