GG09-olivia-wilde1

House's Thirteen (aka Olivia Wilde) looks great in the top half of her lavender gown. The bottom half, however, is just plain unlucky.

The Office's Kate Flannery is all smiles in her black gown.

gg09-juliebenz8

We'd love to comment on the attire of Dexter's Julie Benz, but we're having trouble getting past her smile.

The Office's Angela Kinsey strikes a pose in her slinky, burgundy gown.

House's Jennifer Morrison adds a splash of color to the carpet in a bright blue, strapless number.

Californication's Madeline Zima keeps it simple and elegant in this orange goddess gown.

8 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

Ricky Gervais has quite a grin on his face. Perhaps he was just hypnotized by Jane Fallon's dress.

gg09-mindy-kaling3

The Office's Mindy Kaling goes with classic black that beautifully matches her eye patch-like bangs.

gg09-amy-adams12

Nominee Amy Adams gives the photogs a little hands-on-hips attitude in her sparkling, strapless black gown.
11 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-aana-paquin16

Anna Paquin is looking (un)dead sexy in her mauve dress. No wonder her True Blood costars want to take a bite out of her!
12 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-christina-applegate13

Christina Applegate stood out in this strapless yellow number, but we're not sure why the Samantha Who? star looks so shocked.
13 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-debra-messing10

Debra Messing looks great (as usual) in her gown, but her uber-teased hair (which is mercifully hidden here) was a big-time miss.
14 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-jenna-fischer9

Jenna Fischer continues to disappoint with her red-carpet choices. We love The Office and Pam, but we cannot get behind this patterned gown.
15 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-evan-rachel-wood20

Evan Rachel Wood went with the popular choice of black, but between the tiers of this gown, her skin tone and the back tattoo, it all sort of fell apart.
16 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

Kristin Scott Thomas went with a gown in beige, another very popular color at this year's awards.

17 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-rachel-griffiths21

Toga, toga toga! The only thing Brothers & Sisters' Rachel Griffiths needs is a plastic cup and she'll be ready for the frat party.
18 of 57 Vince Bucci/WireImage.com

Miss Golden Globe Rumer Willis looks stunning in this strapless, burgundy gown.

19 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

The red carpet was shining with so many stars that Susan Sarandon has to wear shades!

20 of 57 Vince Bucci/WireImage.com

gg09-jennifer-lopez30

A post-baby Jennifer Lopez works a neckline similar to her infamous Grammy gown. But this golden disaster doesn't even come close.
21 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-jane-krakowski23

Jane Krakowski 30 Rocks this one-shoulder gown, which is reminiscent of Kate Winslet's 2007 Oscars attire. But Jane makes it all her own and looks great.
22 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-amanda-seyfried21

Though it's hard to make Big Love's Amanda Seyfried look anything but gorgeous, this old-fashioned, off-the-shoulder dress made her look washed out.
23 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-aaron-eckhart29

Aaron Eckhart was all business on his way in to the awards. The Dark Knight star sported a classic tux — complete with satin lapels and stripes down the leg — for the occasion. His late costar, Heath Legder, was honored posthumously as best supporting actor for his portrayal of Knight's Joker.
24 of 57 Vince Bucci/WireImage.com

gg09-america-ferrera32

Ugly Betty's America Ferrera is beautiful as always, but she really should have gone with a longer gown that didn't interrupt the line of her shiny frock.
25 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-angelina-joli27

Between Brad Pitt's aviators and Angelina Jolie's glittery gown, the two were the rock stars of the red carpet. Jolie enhanced her look with sleek, jet-black hair that looked newly darkened for the big night.
26 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-anne-hathaway24

Anne Hathaway dazzled her way down the carpet in a blue strapless affair with a beaded bodice and chiffon that flowed to the ground. She's sparklier than any grown woman should be off the Dancing with the Stars parquet, but her statuesque composure, classy up-'do and sexy lips save the day.
27 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-cameron-diaz26

Cameron Diaz looks like she wrapped herself up in a pink curtain before hitting the red carpet — yet pulls it all off with an au courant cut and silky hair.
28 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-drew-barrymore28

When did Drew Barrymore, one of our favorite Hollywood figureheads, go all prom queen on us? The actress/producer is straight-up seductive in powder-blue topped with a mussed bob, leaving us longing for the slow dance, stat.
29 of 57 Vince Bucci/WireImage.com

gg09-eva-mendes22

Eva Mendes' gorgeous skin tone makes this white gown and stunning turquoise choker stand out among the crowd. But that hip bow? Yikes!
30 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-demi-moore25

Ashton Kutcher sports the Johnny Cash black-on-black look (along with some new facial hair) while Demi Moore wears a softer, blush-colored gown (complete with dance club-style halter top).
31 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-hayden-panettierie31

Hayden Panettiere wears a lovely modern silhouette in a deep eggplant. But that bust line? Seems a bit… constricting.
32 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-isla-fisher33

Petite redhead Isla Fisher floated down the red carpet wearing the evening's extraordinarily popular earth tones, blush and beige.
33 of 57 Vince Bucci/WireImage.com

gg09-glenn-close17

It may be the Golden Globes, but Glenn Close looks like a life-size Oscar statue in her gold pantsuit. And why the heck is Tony Shalhoub wearing a Nehru jacket?
34 of 57 Vince Bucci/WireImage.com

gg09-blake-lively50

Blake Lively is smokin' hot, every minute of every day, and we'll be jealous of her thick, come-stroke-me hair for all of eternity. Now that we got that out of the way, we have to ask why the Gossip Girl star would wear a dress that didn't say right now. She's a stunner, but her beaded number leaves us lukewarm.
35 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-colin-farrell45

Colin Farrell and his In Bruges costar, Brendan Gleeson, warm up standard-issue black suits with color accents that bring some life to the party outfits. Their film was nominated as best comedy or musical, but lost out to romantic farce Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
36 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-fishburne57

Laurence Fishburne and his wife, Firefly alumna Gina Torres, strike a regal pose together on the Globes carpet. As a pair, they top the night's unofficial award for most colorfully dressed couple — but Fishburne could've won on his own.
37 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-laura-linney41

Laura Linney amps up the Hollywood glam-factor in a one-shouldered, lemon chiffon gown that updates a Grecian template with a little bling. With a blonde coif and fabric galore, the John Adams star is in her element not just winning awards, but dazzling onlookers as she does it.
38 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-kyra-sedgwick51

Kyra Sedgwick is striking in a classic, red gown that reveals just how petite she is as she poses with her tuxed-up husband, Kevin Bacon. The Closer star could've saved some silkworms and done without the belt, but no one ever accused awards shows of stymieing excess.
39 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-kate-winslet47

Revolutionary Road costars Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio have glamour down to a science. The actors, who play a mid-1950s couple in the film, are stunning in elegant, matching black ensembles, with Winslet making the most of her sophisticated looks and smokin'-hot curves.

gg09-heidi-klum56

Not many women can get away with puffy dresses with huge flowers on the hip matched with dominatrix-style stilettos. But not many women are Heidi Klum. The queen of the Runway threw down her fashion gauntlet at the Globes alongside her elegant husband, Seal — no fashion slouch himself.
41 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

House's Lisa Edelstein is smoking hot in this strapless black number.

42 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

Maggie Gyllenhaal looks amazing, despite the wild print that we just couldn't love.

43 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-marisa-tomei54

Unlike her character in The Wrestler, Marisa Tomei chose not to show any skin — particularly her arms, which she covered with flowy lace sleeves.
44 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

Patrick Dempsey and Tina Fey are all laughs as they stop for a quick pose on the red carpet.

45 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-mary-louise-parker46

Well played, MLP. We love the shape and design of the Mary-Louise Parker's dress, plus the stunning color. She also wore colbalt at the Emmys, and it totally works for her.
46 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

The always-stunning Penelope Cruz wore the color of the evening well in a strapless gown.

47 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-renee-zellweger44

Where to begin with this train wreck? Renee Zellweger's hair says "Grand Ole' Opry" while the dress says "Morticia with a bad bra."
48 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-miley-cyrus43

Miley Cyrus surprised us with this ensemble. Too bad she brought her mom and that terrible disco ball gown along with her.
49 of 57 Vince Bucci/WireImage.com

gg09-salma-hayek49

Voluptuous Salma Hayek rocks her gown in every way possible. The color didn't blow us away, but we really can't complain.
50 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-mickey-rourke59

Entourage's Kevin Dillon grabs comeback kid Mickey Rourke for a quick photo op. (Or is he trying to put a headlock on The Wrestler?)
51 of 57 Vince Bucci/WireImage.com

Megan Fox let her beauty speak for itself in this gorgeous and simplegold gown that dazzled.

52 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-sandra-bullock42

Sandra Bullock looks angelic in this draped (if not a little reminiscent of window treatment) white gown.
53 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

Sigourney Weaver wears a subdued (but lovely!) Donna Karan dress in navy.

54 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-taraji59

Though we like the silhouette of Taraji P. Henson's dress, the material looks like a bad camouflage tarp-turned-gown.
55 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-tom-hanks55

Tom Hanks looks dapper and svelte while wife Rita Wilson shows off her assets in a blingy scalloped and fringed gown.
56 of 57 Steve Granitz/WireImage.com

gg09-january-jones62

The beautiful January Jones lights up the carpet. And her dress does too — but not in a good way. We still love you though, January.
57 of 57 Jason Merritt/Getty Images

Christina Hendricks always brings the va-va-voom, and she didn't let us down tonight.
