Mark Halperin:
Creamy mermaid look becomes her ... off-set by her flowing dark hair. Fishtail train and flattering bodice define the dress. Accessories simple and chic (she is French, after all). Overall, a dramatic, winning, Oscar-winning look.

Marion Cotillard Just saw her close up, on the red carpet, with Regis Philbin. Someone needs to explain Regis Philbin to me. Anyway, she looks like a completely different person from the frail, ferklempt Piaf she played on the screen. The fishiness of the outfit is fairly overwhelming, all those scales ... an albino mermaid?
