SAG: Red carpet alert

Clearly, actresses miss the red carpet. How else to explain the high-octane glamour seen at last night's SAG Awards? Sequins, chignons, scarlet lips and fishtailed gowns dominated on an afternoon that could only be described as sullen and downcast.

It would seem that only Ellen Page ignored the unspoken edict to pretend that there is no such thing as a WGA strike.  Page -- who lost to Julie Christie (thank God!) -- wore a simple black sheath that highlighted her gamine frame.

My rule for the red carpet? Don't wear an outfit that would allow you to climb a tree or play short stop in a pinch. Page could scale an oak in seconds flat in this dress.

What kind of silly comment is that about climbing trees? What ever,?? I saw many women looking dated and silly- overdressed as if they were dressing up in their mother's clothes. bad Style, fake smiles and no personality.

It's the stylists (and the designers who bribe them) that determine the fashions in Hollywood, you know that. Frankly, Julie Christie in jacket and pants was the coolest looking woman in the room. Vanessa Williams was the hottest.
