    • "Helen Mirren's custom red duchess satin Georges Chakra gown was OK... but the Swarovski crystal sleeves look like they were attached as an afterthought." -Access Hollywood
    • "Tilda Swinton may have won Oscar Gold, but her unflattering black Lanvin sack dress was not a winner. In fact, it looked like a garbage bag. Throw this one out in the trash." -Access Hollywood
