The 85th Academy Awards was a pretty tame red carpet and ceremony this year. There was no Angelina this time, so who were we to look towards for that odd stand out piece of jewelry or limb? Perhaps we are just expecting too much and anything less than eyebrow raising just leaves us unimpressed. Once again, the longest, most self indulgent of awards shows started a half hour later than all others at 8:30pm EST but the red carpet coverage started 3 hours before and the trends were a mixed bag.
