Our red-carpet compatriot Jessica Gelt reports that ‘Project Runway’ mentor Tim Gunn was asked by a reporter to offer advice for the star who might have had the misfortune to have picked out a sleeveless gown -- only to wake up on the morning of the Academy Awards to discover that it’s a chilly 38 degrees.
