Our big red carpet favourite is Charlize Theron. How gorgeous does she look in that sizzling red dress! Her film Mad Max Fury Road is nominated for ‘Best Picture’ at the Oscars 2016. By the way, one of the big reasons why she makes it to Oscar night every year are the yummy hamburgers in the green room!
Did you know that Whoopi Goldberg had a tattoo?! Wow! That’s a mean one too!
Leonardo DiCaprio is on the red carpet folks! He’s brought his mum along for moral support. Doesn’t he look like a dream posing here with Kate Winslet! His intense performance in The Revenant is being touted as the big winner this year.

This guy is Leonardo DiCaprio’s strongest competition tonight.
‘Best Actress’ nominee Brie Larson looks ravishing in blue. She’s flown in for the big night from Vietnam and feels a bit numb from excitement and 15 hours of jet lag. But man, does she look jet lag look good!
