8:25 Welcome, everyone! Get ready. The Red Carpet is about to begin.
8:33 Virginia Madsen's wearing blue velvet. How hot is that??? Head to VH1.com for photos of all the celebs at the 14th Annual Critics' Choice Awards.
8:35 Enough with the Visitor… what about props to Step Brothers?!
8:37 I love love loved Marisa Tomei in The Wrestler. Love the flutter at the top of that dress too. A far stretch from her character!
8:39 I've been obsessed with Amy Adams since Junebug. I love how effortless she looks! Her hair is fresh and perfect. Super California Casual.
8:42 Viola Davis!!! Who knew she was so glamorous in real life?
8:46 Freida Pinto, the girl from Slumdog Millionaire, is beyond gorgeous. Love the Grecian dress. That hair!
8:47 Clint Eastwood is like an older version of my husband. Crazy tie…
8:50 Yowza. Hello, Mister Josh Brolin. Sooo Clark Cable for the 2000's!
8:54 They keep mentioning Brad and Angelina. Where oh where are they?
8:57 Angela Bassett is proving that the trend is upswept hair and HUUUUGE dangling earrings. (Check out these surprisingly sexy, romantic looks that really say "dressed up.")
8:59 Sarah SIlverman is FINALLY showing off her good looks the way she should. She looks like a bombshell. Mazel tov!
9:00 The red carpet was cool. Now it's time for the show.
9:07 MICKEY ROURKE DESERVES BEST ACTOR!!! Those hair extensions!
9:13 I'm disappointed that Angelina's not the bombshell I want her to be… maybe she's turned Euro Chic?
9:15 There weren't even any cute girls to covet in Tropic Thunder. My niece Libby is bonkers for Corben Bleu and now I finally get it.
9:24 Okay… Eva Longoria has NEVER looked better. She might as well have jumped out of a fashion magazine.
9:30 I want to hate Freida Pinto, mostly because I want to look like her. Ah!!! Poor Angelina looked kind of jealous. But she's too beautiful too. Sigh.
9:39 Rooney rocks. Nice Beatles-just-came-to-America suits!
9:45 Mclovin's doing a nice monochromatic look. Is Katy Perry his prom date?
9:54 I wish foxy Marisa's dress showed off her legs more. oh well…
10:00 Check out our red carpet photo gallery.
10:06 I wish Virginia left her purse on her chair, but she looks phenomenal anyway. Mr. Big's pants are a tad too small…
10:15 I was on the edge of my seat for this. I love Kate but Marisa and Viola were my picks. Wah Waah.
10:21 Aaaamy, whatchoo wanna do? I think ah could vote for you (for best dressed/styled!) and my husband agrees 100%. Just like Amy Adams, Diane Lane is the perfect mix of glam and natural.
10:33 Oh Sarah! Why the sneakers??? Oy vey.
10:43 A tie?! So perfect. We called it over here!
10:45 Anne Hathaway looks like the most beautiful black and white cookie!
10: 52 Re: ELizabeth Banks, I can't forget Michelle Williams getting ragged on for her gorgeous yellow dress at the oscars. Hooray for Elizabeth for taking the risk and wearing a perfect and sexy yellow stunner.
10:53 I feel robbed again! Mickey Rourke,not Sean Penn, is the one for me!
10:59 Slumdog Millionaire!
11:01 Well it's over and I must say, all the ladies seemed unusually beautiful in their understated looks. Is it a nod to the economy? Is it just that black is the new black? Hmmm… I hope to join you next time! Log ontoLucky mag tomorrow morning for my top style picks of the night. xxoo
11:04 Head to the Critics Choice site to see photo and videos of the red carpet and the show.
