That didn’t stop the musical guests from giving earth-shaking performances. Beyonce Knowles not only bagged the best female artist award and best song award for “Halo,” but also wowed the audience with her racy red outfit as she performed her hit “Sweet Dreams.”

Wall-to-wall would be an understatement for Katy Perry’s costume changes and hosting skills. From her various red carpet frocks to her glittering stage costumes, Perry’s wardrobe did not disappoint fans that night.

Other highlights included performances by Green Day, Tokio Hotel and Leona Lewis. For a complete list of winners and a gallery of red carpet garbs, visit the official MTV Euro site.

I didn’t know that Hugh Jackman could sing! And he could dance too. I don’t know much about his opening number as host of the Oscars but the theme of his opening speech was “downsizing.” He said that there was no budget for the opening number so he did one anyway. Pretty different but pretty cool, I think. He really is a hunk.

Yeah, we’ve heard that before – from every other Hollywood couple that has been linked. When asked on the red carpet about this rumor, Freida went as far as to say that her Slumdog co-stars are “not interested” in her. I’m pretty sure they’re all interested in the Oscar.

That’s what everyone is saying about the Oscars, despite the fact that organizers are doing all that they can to shake things up more than a little bit. I suppose that the fact that most everyone knows which and who are going to win – or at least we think we do – makes the prospect of spending the evening watching the Oscars not so exciting.

It seems that it has been ages since we saw and heard Whitney Houston, once considered one of the greatest divas.

Welcome back, girl!
