The opening of the show was a must-watch this year as Ricky Gervais is back to host, despite causing a storm of controversy last year with his acid-wit. He left no celebrity stone unturned in his opening monologue and ruffled a few feathers. Here’s the 2012 (latest) monologue fresh off the upload:

    Ew at Lea Michele’s dress. Nicole Kidman looks like a mannequin as always. Boring. Lay off the botox woman! But Love Sarah Hyland’s dress and the purple one. Stacey Keibler looks like she’s out of place. Sorry love. Not up to George Clooney arm-candy standard.

    Not a fan of the bright yellow sported by a number of those above. And not a fan of Angelina – the dress says Snow White and the collar and makeup says Wicked Queen! Very Severe.

    I never, ever thought i’d say this – but after looking at the pics from the after parties……Well Done Bai Ling!!!! Looks like you’ve passed your crown to Erin Wasson for this year.

    I loved Nicole’s whole put together look – particularly the gold clutch she carried.

    URG!! I’m so sick of Angelina’s skeletal frame and grumpy demeanour/expression. So much to be happy about and appreciative of, yet always looks miserable!

      I agree completely. What does she have to be so miserable about? To me she looks like she thinks she is above the whole thing and it’s all stupid and a waste of time to her but then why does she keep showing up to these events if she can’t manage to look even remotely happy to be there.

    These pics are too small guys, it’s hard to see the dresses properly :(

    I’ll confess, I looked on another site and Rachel Evan Wood’s dress is actually a gorgeous deep green. George Clooney’s date is gorgeous, real old-Hollywood style, Amazonian glamour. I liked Sarah Paulson’s dress too.

    Oh George….be still my beating heart!!

    Angelina – looks too pale in that colour, Nicole – like design of dress, Natalie Portman – always looks lovely & natural, Jessica Alba – has a baby about 4mths ago & now washboard stomach!!! Kate Winslet – outfit a bit plain but love her as a person, Claire Danes – gorgeous back of the dress.

      Washboard stomach? Don’t forget they’re all wearing spandex (probably in a size smaller than they actually are to suck the fat in even more.)

    Lots of Nicole! Mila Kunis looks really unhappy in that pic and Lea Michele doesn’t look like herself there.

    My favourite was Sarah Hyland, but there are lots of gorgeous dresses in this!

    Not a big fan of the high necklines with sleeves that Michelle Williams and Kelly Osborne wore.

    Standout to me was how many women were rocking fair skin! Yes!! Less fake tan!

    Anyone else having trouble stopping the galleries from auto-playing?

    Mila Kunis looks gorgeous and Sofia Vergara really rocks the hourglass. I quite like Nicole’s outfit but she looks like she’s had a boob job. Say it isn’t so, Nic. Disappointed in Kate WInslet.

    I think these outfits range from the ho-hum to the what the? All in all, not the best red carpet, IMHO.

    I quite like a few of these dresses, but I loved 3 in particular-
    Nicole Kidman looked sensational, Nicole Ritchie was lovely and Angelina Jolie was striking because she went for a very different look than usual… not my fave 3 people, but I loved their looks.
    I would love to get made up and styled like these women do just once to see what I would look like!

    In my days as a stylist (snort…from the couch) I was always taught that you should never wear red on the red carpet…

    That first photo of Nicole Kidman makes her look literally like a Barbie doll. Not in a good way.

    And Angelina – goodness me she is a little scary….

    Lea Michelle does look like she is ready to skate onto the ice.

    I’m a little disappointed with the celebs this year (with the exception of Sofia Vergara and Julianne Moore). I want to see Amazonian women looks impossibly glamourous, not rakes wearing their Nanna’s dresses (and hair colour. I’m looking at you Kelly O!).

    Oh and I’m fairly certain that is a shot of Nic from 2011 Golden Globes.

    Amber Riley is one of my favourite red carpet dressers. Not just ‘good for a bigger girl’ pity either. She wears really cool flattering stuff and styles that I would wear (I tried on a wedding dress like the one she is wearing).

    But of course as well as that she does show that fashion can be just as awesome if you are a size 14 rather than a 4.

    Far too much white/cream being worn, especially be people who shouldn’t go anywhere near it. Nicole Kidman, Emily Watson, Elle Macpherson, I’m looking at you.
