Background
Days before the Oscar ceremony, Ellen Page appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and admitted that she suffered from anxiety dreams regarding her Oscar dress:
"I get to the Oscars, and I’m totally late... and I look down [at my] strapless dress, and I’m wearing a sports bra!"1
Page's actual dress earned her a spot on People Magazine's "best dressed" list for the Oscars.2 She was nominated for "Best Actress" for her portrayal of the title character in Juno. Marion Cotillard won the award.
