So as we watch the Red Carpet Parade on Sunday. We can think of our friend Edith Head. I also have an oscar prediction.  There will be allot of fresh faces with bold lips. I could be wrong just got a feeling. I also think the Black Swan will dominate. So what film do you watch just for the clothes ?
