Entertainment Americas: Oscar fashion - Who'll wear what at this year's biggest catwalk show

TAPE: EF02/0232 IN_TIME: DURATION: 4:55 SOURCES: APTN RESTRICTIONS: DATELINE: Los Angeles, March 19th 2002 SHOTLIST 1. VS Oscar fashion 1999-2001 2. VS Phillip Bloch (celebrity dresser) looking at clothes on rail 3. VS with designer looking at model 4. SOT Phillip Bloch (celebrity dresser): "I think we're going to see a lot of glamour on the red carpet because this has been the greatest year of nominees. You've got Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry, Renee Zellweger, Jennifer Connelly, Uma Thurman's husband's nominated, Jada Pinkett's husband's nominated, Marisa Tomei is nominated, Kate Winslet, Judi Dench, Helen Mirren, who are all very glamourous women." 5. VS Nicole Kidman 6. VS Halle Berry 7. VS Kate Winslet 8. SOT Kate Winslet: 'It's all about what you're wearing, It's nothing to do with the films. It's nothing to do with the nomination, it's 'What are you wearing? Oh, that's fabulous, and the jewels? And the shoes? Tell me about the shoes? And the bag?' The whole thing is all about the outfit, so you really have to take that with a pinch of salt and laugh about that as well. And it is a bit ridiculous too because you start preparing for this event at midday and you walk out of the door at half past two in the afternoon and you are dressed up for the most glamourous event and it's the middle of the afternoon. It does feel very very odd but it's certainly a lot of fun." 9. MS Renee Zellweger 10. MS Marisa Tomei and Sissy Spacek 11. MS Jennifer Connelly 12. SOT Phillip Bloch: "I don't think we're going to see a lot of cocktail attire at the Oscars. This is really the big night. This is the night people dream about all their lives, being nominated for your Oscar, going out there and these pictures are going to run the rest of your life." 13. VS Oscar fashion disasters 14. SOT Phillip Bloch: "I get so tired of people saying that celebrities have no taste and that's why they hire stylists. All the clients I work with have really good taste. They hired me! No, really they have very good taste. They're just actresses. They act, and I get clothes." 15. WS Judi Dench 16. MS Helen Mirren 17. SOT Phillip Bloch: "Everyone says 'oh Hollywood glamour is just young girls and bimbo-ey actresses' and this year we are definitely going to see that this is not the case." 18. VS Phillip Bloch looking at a dress OSCAR FASHION PREVIEW The nominations have been announced and the elements of style are now falling into place for the 74th Annual Academy Awards. In previous years, there have been official Academy Oscar fashion preview shows, highlighting the types of outfits, suits and jewellery that might grace the Oscar's red carpet, known as the largest catwalk on Earth. The Academy isn't holding them this year. In an ongoing effort to keep the tone of the show suitable given this year's events in the US is opting out of previous press opportunities of glitz and glamour and instead letting individual vendors show their wears privately. Various dressers and stars come to top hotels in L.A. filled with designers hoping to get the stars to become the global billboards of their design houses. Whilst designers and dressers are happy to say which celebrities they work with, they remain tight-lipped about who will be wearing what on the big day. APTN caught up with Hollywood stylist Phillip Bloch in the Halston Suite at the Four Seasons, where designers were trying to tempt him with their wears. Bloch is a favourite with Hollywood's A-list and has worked with stars such as Jodie Foster, Nicolas Cage, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry and Salma Hayek to mention a few. His expertise isn't just done behind the scenes as he will be attending the red carpet giving a commentary on who's hot and who's not on this year's red carpet. Since the terrorist attacks of September 11th, many celebrities have opted to wear black when attending premieres or award shows. Bloch feels that with the Oscars, colour will return to the red carpets and that flamboyant styles will once again return to the celebrity world. Bloch says this is mostly to do with the nominees at the awards: "You've got Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry, Renee Zellweger, Jennifer Connelly, Uma Thurman's husband's nominated, Jada Pinkett's husband's nominated, Marisa Tomei is nominated, Kate Winslet, Judi Dench, Helen Mirren, who are all very glamourous women." Concerning the wearing of black to the Oscars, Bloch had this to say: "I don't think we're going to see a lot of cocktail attire at the Oscars. This is really the big night. This is the night people dream about all their lives, being nominated for your Oscar, going out there and these pictures are going to run the rest of your life." Jewels, courtesy of Harry Winston, provide the finishing touches to the glamorous fashions. The Academy Awards are definitely high stakes for the designers whose fashions land on the red carpet Oscar night. The Oscars can launch careers. Although the Oscar ceremony is supposed to be about the films, when the newspapers pick out photos of the best-dressed celebrities on the red carpet, the designers will feel like they've won as well.

Entertainment: People Magazine - President Bush joins Eminem and J Lo on People magazine's most intriguing people list.

TAPE: EF02/1089 IN_TIME: 14:35:46 DURATION: 2:40 SOURCES: PEOPLE MAGAZINE VNR RESTRICTIONS: DATELINE: USA Recent SHOTLIST 1. Cover People Magazine 2. Sot Galina Espinoza (People Magazine) (ENGLISH): "There are really no hard and fast rules when compiling this list basically what we're looking for is who were the people that everyone was talking about in the past year, either because they had some notable accomplishment, or because they engaged in some sort of questionable behaviour that had us wondering what were they thinking, or simply because they were dominating every area that they touched" 3. B-Roll the Osbournes 4. Sot Galina Espinoza (ENGLISH): "The Osbournes represent a break in tradition for us, because this is the first time we've included a family on the list, generally we highlight individuals but with the Osbournes they're a package deal, you think of them as a family" 5. B-Roll Winona Ryder 6. Sot Galina Espinoza (ENGLISH): "With Winona Ryder everyone is just wanting to know why would a woman who makes 5 million dollars a movie, decide to shoplift clothes, she obviously doesn't need to be stealing, so what going on with her?" 7. B-Roll George Clooney 8. B-Roll Jennifer Lopez 9. B-Roll Nia Vardalos 10. B-Roll Halle berry 11. B-Roll Christopher Reeves 12. B-Roll Paul Burrell 13. B-roll Brad Pitt 14. B-Roll Eminem 15. B-Roll Chelsea Clinton PRESIDENT JOINS EMINEM AND J-LO ON PEOPLE MAGAZINE'S "THE 25 MOST INTRIGUING PEOPLE OF 2002" LIST. The President of the United States is officially one of the most intriguing people of 2002 according to America's People Magazine. Bush joined Montgomery County police chief Charles Moose, who led the manhunt for the Washington sniper, and Nobel Peace Prize winner Jimmy Carter a top a list usually reserved for show biz celebrities. The magazine said Bush's leadership deserved mention because 2002 was a "year of continuing fear for our safety and shocking revelations that shattered the trust we place in time-honored institutions". But despite the imminent global threat to the American way of life, the list was still dominated by stars. HALLE BERRY's Oscar milestone won her a spot; an Emmy for a Friend got JENNIFER ANISTON put down; JULIA ROBERTS' marriage created a spot for the "Runaway Bride" star, and SARAH JESSICA PARKER s stylish, public and successful pregnancy reserved her first class place on the list. The family of shaking rocker OZZY OSBOURNE are the first to ever make PEOPLE's list of the "25 Most Intriguing" after their reality TV show 'The Osbournes' became a global hit. "It's the greatest thing," says matriarch SHARON, "when someone stops you and says, 'I love your family.' What more could a mum want?" Movie stars with herito unseen depth include GEORGE CLOONEY, who directed himself in the forthcoming "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" and, Jennifer Aniston, whose gritty performance in 'The Good Girl' proved that she was more than just a Friend. "I've always known she was amazing," says hubby, Brad Pitt. "I don't think anything blossomed in her this year that wasn't there already. It just seems like the rest of the world is waking up to what has been there all along." NIA VARDALOS, creator and star of 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding', is still in shock that her little $5 million movie has grossed more than $200 million. "If I heard somebody else tell the story, I would think it was made up," says Vardalos. "When does it end? Its' nuts!" "I can't dance, I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, but I can analyze things, and I'm fast," says TV psychologist Dr. Phil, one of PEOPLE Intriguers. "Sometimes I look at a problem and it's like the dots are connected with a bright red line." Former TV host Rosie O'Donnell also makes PEOPLE's list. Despite a year that put herself-and her fans-to the test, O'Donnell says, "This has been the happiest year of my life." Much of that joy stems from her long-term relationship with partner Kelli carpenter who gave birth to Vivienne Rose O'Donnell on Nov. 29. Being a stay-at-home mom to her older children, Parker, 7, Chelsea, 5, and Blake, 3, is a "great, great, great time," she adds. "People see me at the mall and ask, 'Are you all right?' I'm sooo good. I take my kids to school. I pain in my garage, which is like an art studio. I'm loving it." In 2002, singer Britney Spears weathered her parents' divorce, flopped as a restuaranteur and suffered a very public break-up with Justin Timberlake. Now 21, Spears is at work on a new album that will reflect her more mature side. "Some people want to say I'm over. Some can't wait for the next thing. Time will tell,' says Spears. "The world hasn't seen all I have to give." PEOPLE's "25 Most Intriguing People of 2002" JENNIFER ANISTON - First Among Friends HALLE BERRY - Oscar History-Maker PAUL BURRELL - Ever Loyal to His Beloved Lady Di GEORGE W.

SOUNDBITE (English) Halle Berry: "I want to thank you very much for choosng me. FHM Sexiest Woman of the Year. Wow.

SOUNDBITE (English) Halle Berry: "My sexiest body part. I would have to say that my sexiest body part is [PAUSES] that would be my feet. Only because that's what every boyfriend I've ever had has told me." FHM VNR Still - Halle Berry FHM cover HALLE BERRY TOPS FHM SEXIEST WOMAN POLL AT 34-YEARS-OLD Bond girl Halle Berry has been named the world's sexiest woman - the competition's oldest winner at 34. The actress - who famously blubbed as she picked up a best actress Oscar last year - is also the first black recipient of the FHM magazine honour. She narrowly pipped soap star turned pop act Holly Valance to the top place in the FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2003 poll. More than five million votes were counted from around the world for this year's competition. Berry set pulses racing when she emerged from the sea in a bikini, Ursula Andress-style, in 'Die Another Day'. The delighted actress said today: "I thank you very much for choosing me - Wow. That's a pretty heady title. I'm not so sure I live up to it, but thank you anyway for choosing me." The star - currently appearing in 'X-Men 2' - chose an unlikely part as her sexiest feature: "I think my feet are my sexiest body part. People I find really sexy include Angelina Jolie, George Clooney and my mum." Berry shot up from last year's 33rd place thanks to her sexy high-profile roles. The oldest previous winner was Teri Hatcher in 1997, who was 32 at the time of her win. Last year's number one, Anna Kournikova, has to content herself with just eighth spot in 2003. The highest-placed Brit for the third year running is soon-to-be-ex-S Club star Rachel Stevens. She finishes at number four, down from the runner-up slot last year. Teenage singing star Charlotte Church makes the list at number 21 - a rise of 68 places in a year. Girls Aloud have made a big impact on the list in just a matter of months since they found fame. Sarah Harding from the girl group - put together by TV's Popstars: The Rivals - is at number 20, while bandmate Cheryl Tweedy is at 24 and Nadine Coyle is at 87. FHM editor David Davies said: "Halle has shown great form in some of the biggest blockbusters of the year. She did an amazing cover for us in January and has just got sexier and sexier." Britney Spears retains third place for the second year running, while Jennifer Lopez - a two-time winner - drops two places to number six. Top 100: 1. Halle Berry 2. Holly Valance 3.

Pull out Whoopi Goldberg, curtain close OSCARS ARE BLACK & BEAUTIFUL African-American talent triumphed at this year's Oscars, winning two of the Academy's most prized awards. The unprecedented haul saw a weeping, shaking Halle Berry and Denzel Washington become just the second and third black actors to win Academy Awards for lead roles, while 'A Beautiful Mind' took top honours as best picture. 'A Beautiful Mind,' which also won best director for Ron Howard, tied with 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring' with four Oscars total at Sunday's ceremony. Berry was the first black actress to earn an Academy Award in a lead role, for her portrayal of a death-row widow involved with her husband's executioner in 'Monster's Ball.' In another powerful drama Washington, playing a corrupt policeman in 'Training Day,' became the second black actor to win Best Actor. They joined Sidney Poitier, who received the best-actor Oscar for 1963's 'Lilies of the Field' and received a career-achievement award Sunday. "Oh, my God," Berry said, sobbing and gasping in between words. "I'm sorry. This moment is so much bigger than me. This moment is for Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, Diahann Carroll. ... It's for every nameless, faceless woman of colour who now has a chance because this door tonight has been opened." Berry's emotionally charged acceptance speech ran for about three minutes. "It's been 74 years, I've got to take this time," said Berry, referring to the number of years that the Oscars have been presented. "Two birds in one night," joked Washington, a past supporting-actor winner for 'Glory.' "Forty years I've been chasing Sidney. They finally give it to me, and they give it to him the same night," he added, referring to Poitier's honorary Oscar. While most of Hollywood applauded the choice, the winner of the best director prize Ron Howard admitted backstage that he is sad the best actor award did not go to the star of his own film, Russell Crowe. "On a very personal note, Russell is not only the lead actor in a film that I am very proud of, not only did he make a lot of contributions but we've also become friends and so taking nothing away from Denzel Washington, sure I am disappointed." Stand-by-your-spouse roles earned supporting-performance Oscars for the UK's Jim Broadbent of 'Iris' and Jennifer Connelly of 'A Beautiful Mind.' Broadbent took the supporting-actor Oscar for his role as the befuddled but doting husband of Alzheimers-afflicted writer Iris Murdoch, and Connelly won the supporting-actress honour as the steadfast wife of schizophrenic math genius John Nash. "By some beautiful twist of fate I've landed in this vocation that demands that I feel and helps me to learn," said Connelly, who played the mathematician's wife, Alicia. "I believe in love, that there's nothing more important. Alicia Nash is a true champion of love, and so thank you to her for her example." 'A Beautiful Mind' also earned the adapted-screenplay award for Akiva Goldsman. British writer Julian Fellowes took the original-screenplay honour for 'Gosford Park', directed by Robert Altman. "My thanks start with the great Robert Altman, who's given me the biggest break in movies since Lana Turner walked into Schwab's," Fellowes said. 'Shrek,' the hip twist on cartoon fairy tales that featured the voices of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz, won the first-ever Oscar for an animated feature film. The surprise foreign film award winner was Bosnia's 'No Man's Land', writer-director Danis Tanovic's satirical story of a Bosnian soldier and a Serbian soldier stuck together in a trench. The quirky French comedy 'Amelie,' which had five nominations, was expected to win. After 15 Oscar losses over the years for song or score, Randy Newman finally won for best song, 'If I Didn't Have You', from 'Monsters, Inc,' sung by John Goodman both in the movie and on the night. "I don't want your pity," Newman cracked. "I want to thank first of all the music branch for giving me so many chances to be humiliated over the years." Strongly fancied 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,' missed out on major Oscar glory but the adaptation of part one of J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy epic won best score for Howard Shore and a trio of technical prizes including the cinematography, visual effects and make-up Oscars. Other film making awards went to 'Black Hawk Down' for film editing and sound, while 'Pearl Harbor' - the most expensive film ever made - got a solitary Oscar for sound editing. Another big loser on the night was the much fancied 'Moulin Rouge,' starring Nicole Kidman. Baz Luhrmann's lush musical was consoled with two Oscars for costume design and art direction, shared by Catherine Martin, wife of Luhrmann, who was snubbed for the best-director prize. "It was your vision. This is your Oscar, Baz," Martin said to her husband as she accepted the costume-design award. Along with Poitier, Robert Redford received an honorary Oscar for career achievement. Oscar host Whoopi Goldberg, dressed in a gaudy, glittering outfit, made a grand entrance from the ceiling, lowered on a trapeze to the theater floor in a spoof of Nicole Kidman's first appearance in best-picture nominee 'Moulin Rouge.' She also closed the show with a tribute to New York. Tom Cruise opened the show and viewers were treated to a standup routine by past Oscar winner Woody Allen, who introduced a tribute to classic films shot in New York City as a way to mark the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center. Allen, a New Yorker famous for shunning the Hollywood establishment, made a surprise appearance at the Academy Awards on Sunday to pay tribute to his native city and its resilient spirit. Allen, who usually spends Oscar night playing the clarinet at a small club in Greenwich Village, received a standing ovation from Hollywood's finest inside the Kodak Theatre. When the academy called to invite him, Allen joked he thought officials wanted his Oscars back. "I panicked because the pawnshop has been out of business for ages. I had no way of retrieving anything," Allen said. The following is a list of the winners at the 74th Annual Academy Awards, the film industry's top honours, presented by Hollywood's Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Sunday.

WS Elton John on press line SOURCE: APTN/Pool STARS PARTY WITH OSCAR The cream of Hollywood are partying hard as another Oscar night draws to an end. Lowly non-showbiz types were allowed to watch from across the street as winners and losers arrived to toast success or commiserate with losers at the Vanity Fair party. Star after star piled into the annual bash in Morton's in West Hollywood for what has become one of the hottest post-Oscar tickets in tinseltown. The gathering dinner for 150 of Hollywood's finest, then followed by a post-awards party for around 1,000. So many crammed in that one unlucky woman guest fainted in the overcrowded space. Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock rubbed shoulders with Joan Collins and her new husband, while Cameron Diaz, Mel Gibson and Janet Jackson mingled inside. Cuba Gooding Jnr explained the appeal for guests too famous to be star struck. "It's just being in there, you know because you're surrounded by so many people either you've worked with or want to work with, you know and everybody's just chilled. They're not trying to promote a movie, they're not waiting to see if they won or lost. It's over, they get to drink on and they don't worry about it. Renee Zellweger took the chance to prove she didn't mind losing out on the best actress prize to Halle Berry. "So many things for different reasons. Halle Berry's speech, the profundity of the moment was overwhelming. How to watch her and how emotional she was, how grateful she is an how gracious it was quite a moment - so I would say this was definitely the star on the Christmas tree. Gwyneth Paltrow, famously tearful herself when she won the best actress oscar in 1999, agreed Halle Berry's moment on stage was the highlight of the evening. "I think Halle Berry winning. I think her speech and she just broke my heart I just loved it. You know me, I'm a cry baby!" Even Sean 'P.Diddy' Combs admitted seeing a black actress take the Oscar had him reaching for his tissues. "I was so emotional. I couldn't really hold myself together. I have to say I definitely shed a tear. I'm happy for us - I'm happy for everybody, you know." Denzel Washington arrived with his Best Actor Oscar, while the last black actor to have won the award, Sidney Poitier, arrived still reeling at having been given a lifetime achievement award. "I was overwhelmed. Thirty-seven years is quite a long wait." Ron Howard brought his Best Director Oscar along too, as did this year's Best Supporting Actor Jim Broadbent. Empty handed nominees consoling themselves with the party included Sir Ben Kingsley, Marisa Tomei, Sissy Spacek, director David Lynch and Nicole Kidman. Other guests included Paul McCartney, there to 'shake his booty', and Moulin Rouge director Baz Lurhmann with his wife Catherine Martin, winner of the costume design oscar for her work on the lush musical. Some of the stars also made an appearance at Sir ELTON JOHN's charity party at Moomba's, also in West Hollywood. Joan Collins and Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills made it to both events. The guest list for Sir Elton's annual fundraiser for money to fight AIDS also included Lionel Ritchie, John Goodman, Darryl Hannah and Don Johnson. The singer said it was an Oscar year to remember. "I didn't think there were that many surprises. I thought Halle Berry would win, I thought Denzel had a really good chance. I think the Sidney Poitier speech was so beautiful, so eloquent, so elegant - one of the classiest things - as he is anyways - one of the most classy human beings on the planet - but a very moving speech that he made. And then for Halle and Denzel to win on the same night - it's a bit like Virginia Wade winning Wimbledon, you know? It was like one of those nights that you'd never forget!"

Entertainment: Frida - Salma Hayek's bio pic about bohemian Mexican artist

TAPE: EF02/0900 IN_TIME: 14:11:42 / 21:04:51 DURATION: 4:51 SOURCES: APTN/Miramax RESTRICTIONS: No re-use/re-sale of film clips without clearance DATELINE: Venice. August 2002 SHOTLIST 1. Film trailer - 'Frida' 2. SOUNDBITE Salma Hayek: "As a story it is so vast. You could do seven films about Frida, you could focus one film about her health history, or one about her bisexuality, or one about her art, or one about her childhood, on her politics. We chose to make this focus on the love story with Diego, although I think what was the most amazing thing about Frida was her love affair with life." 3. Film trailer - 'Frida' 4. SOUNDBITE Salma Hayek: "I think the biggest problem was myself because I was so in love with the character and with the story that I was very picky. There were many times when we could have done it, with different studios, but I never felt all the right elements were in the right place. It was not just a thing about I have to do this movie. It was I either do it right or this movie should not be done." 5. Various shots Madonna, and daughter Lourdes, at Versace Exhibition. London (APTN File October 14, 2002) 6. SOUNDBITE Julie Taymor, director: "Though other actresses wanted to do it it would have been inappropriate. First of all nobody could look like Frida the way that Salma looks like Frida. And when you have self portraits right by the actress, of course we have this, and sometimes we have this. But Salma is diminutive, she is actually racially a similar mix. She is Lebanese and Mexican and Frida was Hungarian, German, Jewish and Mexican. So even that way there is a similarity." 7. BTS B-roll Julie Taymor directing Salma Hayek 8. SOUNDBITE Julie Taymor, director: "Salma has the desire and passion as a Mexican to expose this part of Mexican culture. It was a mission for her, not just a vanity , not even remotely a vanity piece, well maybe partially. But I think really quite honestly it was this part of Mexican culture that most of the rest of the world is just not familiar with. " 9. Film clip - 'Frida' 10. SOUNDBITE Alfred Molina: "I think it is very much a woman's film. And I don't think there is anything wrong with that. I am always a little bit doubtful when people say, I am not quite sure what they mean when they say oh it is a chick flick, or it is a man's movie, it is a woman's movie. I don't think there are enough women's films. I don't think there are enough films were there is a very strong feminine perspective. I would like to see more of those." 11. Film trailer - 'Frida' HAYEK SEES DREAM TURN INTO OSCAR PROMISE From her complex and enduring relationship with her mentor and husband, Diego Rivera, to her illicit and controversial affair with Leon Trotsky, to her provocative romantic entanglements with women, Frida Kahlo lived a bold and uncompromising life as a political, artistic and sexual revolutionary. Now a bio-pic has been produced which has already attracted the attention of the early Oscar speculators. 'Frida' chronicles the bohemian life Kahlo shared openly and unflinchingly with Rivera, as the young couple took the art world by storm. Salma Hayek ('54,' 'Dogma') plays Frida Kahlo, a young Mexican woman who suffered a serious accident that shattered her spinal column and left her unable to have children. While rehabilitating she spent her time painting and when she could walk, sought out Diego Rivera, a successful Mexican muralist, for a critique of her work. They married several years later but this did not stop Rivera's philandering. The story of how the film got made is almost as tortuous as Frida Kahlo's own life story. It had been an obsession of Salma Hayek's for many years, but there was strong competition from other film makers. A succession of stars including Madonna, vied for the title role throughout this film's long road to celluloid, and a competing production on Frida Kahlo's life story was to star Jennifer Lopez before it was abandoned. Hayek was determined to get the film made and was instrumental in assembling the cast. She first recruited Alfred Molina ('Chocolat') who plays her husband, Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, then Oscar-winner Geoffrey Rush ('Shine,' 'Quills') who plays Leon Trotsky. Visually stunning, 'Frida is directed by Julie Taymor, the acclaimed director of 'Titus' and Broadway's adaptation of 'The Lion King' and 'The Green Bird.' Other stars are Ashley Judd ('Double Jeopardy') who plays Italian photographer Tina Modotti and Antonio Banderas ('Spy Kids,' 'The Mask of Zorro') who plays Rivera's rival David Alfaro Siqueiro.

The most expensive ensemble was worn by Mulholland Drive star Laura Harring, who turned up in black-and-red, strapless, beaded, floral gown by Armani, worn with a 77-carat Archduke Joseph Diamond valued at dlrs 27 million and designed by Alfredo Molina, and a million dollar pair of platinum and diamond sandals designed by Stuart Weitzman for the occassion. Harring said the shoes were a success. "They're far more comfortable than I thought. We had fitting after fitting and body guards all the time.They were very discreet about it you can't see them but there is many bodyguards guarding to make sure that I don't escape which believe me is very tempting. It's a historical stone because it belonged to the Archduke Joseph in the 1800s and it's one of the most flawless diamonds in existence." Soft and muted colours covered the red carpet - Nicole Kidman continued her streak for well judged fashion in a Chanel pink chiffon spaghetti-strap gown, with tiers of ruffles running down the bodice, and 200 carats of raw Bulgari diamonds wrapped around her neck. Todays newspapers said the star 'exuded elegance', while People magazine's west coast style editor Steven Cojocaru, added his own compliments. "Some people thought Nicole Kidman, I don't know if they liked her - me personally, the armchair critic, I thought she was feminine and very luscious and really just amazing. Just perfect from head to toe - and I never say that!" Kidman wore her hair in loose curls, in keeping with this year's oscars trend for unstated hair styles, helping to tone down fancier dresses. Previous best actress winner Julia Roberts pulled her locks back in a casual ponytail, to go with her black jersey Giorgio Armani gown with back and side cutouts. Supporting actress winner Jennifer Connelly, another fashion "it girl," wore a champagne-colored strapless gown with a tiered skirt by Balenciaga with matching scarf. She explained her decision. "Balenciaga. I love him as a designer and so we just talked to him and we just worked together with him. We kept it very simple. No chaos." Gwyneth Paltrow turned heads in heavy makeup and a sheer Christian Lacroix tank dress in steel grey - although some critics have pointed out she could have used a good support bra underneath the gown. Helen Mirren, nominated for best-supporting actress, showed a discreet bit of cleavage in a white Giorgio Armani ballgown, while fellow nominee Kate Winslet also wore red, a romantic style, almost-strapless gown with a single floral strap by British designer Ben de Lisi. Marisa Tomei, also nominated in the best supporting actress category, had a similar one-strap look in a black gown with netted skirt and a diamond necklace draped around her neck. Even Jennifer Lopez, known for some racy and risky outfits, wore a simple fitted pink strapless gown with gathered sides by Versace and a pearl necklace. She did stop short of joining the simple hair-do club though - wearing hers as big and attention grabbing as possible. Halle Berry bucked the trend for the evening and herself, arriving in a wine-colored, A-line ballgown with a sheer bodice with strategically placed beaded flowers by Lebanese haute couture designer Elie Saab - a sexy departure for her and a fashion moment on a night when many stars played it safe. Cojocaru, said the best actress winner stole the show in more ways than one. "And the story and the night belongs to Halle Berry because she was beautiful on the outside and beautiful on the inside -that speech just blew everybody away! I mean real, genuine emotion and feeling in Hollywood - because now it's gotten to the point where they're botoxing your feelings to." Will Smith, a best actor nominee, went for a champagne shirt-and-tie look, while his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, was in a white wrap top with yellow skirt, following another oscar trend - vintage. Smith pointed out he was a vital part of his wife's finished ensemble. "I think of myself as a wonderful handbag. Like I'm an accessory to whatever Jada is wearing. I am a living accessory." Reese Witherspoon was in a black cap-sleeve dress with black lace detail while her husband Ryan Phillippe wore Gucci. Witherspoon played down any stress she might have felt making her choice. " I don't think it's really appropriate to show up naked so it's important to pick out something. We are very lucky cause Valentino gave me a nice dress and Gucci gave Ryan a very nice suit." Other stars choosing black included Naomi Watts in a fitted black gown with crisscross straps; Glenn Close in a Vera Wang gown with sheer black sleeves, and former best actress winner Helen Hunt in a black satin, long-sleeve gown with a deep V-neck and lace-up front by Gucci. One dress that might get people talking was Sally Kirkland's metal-alloy dress with adjustable ruffles. She used a push-button device to move the ruffles around her body. "I had fun when I went through the metal detector," she quipped. Overall, Steven Cojocaru said this years oscars will be remebered by fashion fans for dress quality rather than attention grabbers. "This year, I wouldn't say it was a mega-glamorous year - I would say it was a Medium glamorous. It wasn't a low glamorous year - people looked really good. Really beautiful gowns, I wouldn't say it was wow! Like my eyes were popping out of my head or my contacts started tearing up - but it was good."

SOT SALMA HAYEK: "At first it didn't have a column, a structure at the beginning because it's such an intense story and it's so epic and vast it went all over the place, you know. So it has changed a lot, it's actually unrecognizable since the time I grabbed it. It was also directed by an incredibly talented woman. That makes this film quite unique, she definitely had a vision and I don't think there, there were many people involved in developing this project but none of us would ever come up with such genius visuals. She did an amazing job." 7.Cutaway poster 8. SOT SALMA HAYEK (same as above in Spanish) 9. Clip - 'Frida' 10. B-roll Salma Hayek 11.

I've learned how to pick up a movie from the ground many times, how to put it together, how to tell a story that is so rich, how to find a director. I learned a lot of technical things, I also learned a lot of things about myself. I learned that if I set my mind to something and I truly believe in it with conviction from my heart, I can be patient and consistent enough to get it done" 11.

Clip - 'Frida' LOS ANGELES GETS ARTY WITH 'FRIDA' PREMIERE SALMA HAYEK and her boyfriend Edward Norton joined a starry gathering for the premiere of Hayek's new film 'FRIDA.' The Los Angeles County Museum of Art was the chosen venue for the film about the life of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Hayek's boyfriend Edward Norton ('Fight Club') stayed in the background and let his girlfriend soak up the limelight even though he plays a role in the film, that of industrialist, Nelson Rockefeller. Salma Hayek ('54,' 'Dogma') plays Frida Kahlo, a young Mexican woman who suffered a serious accident that shattered her spinal column and left her unable to have children. While rehabilitating she spent her time painting and when she could walk, sought out Diego Rivera, a successful Mexican muralist, for a critique of her work. They married several years later but this did not stop Rivera's philandering. The story of how the film got made is almost as tortuous as Frida Kahlo's own life story. It had been an obsession of Salma Hayek's for many years, but producer Nancy Hardin has been trying to make the film since 1983 when she acquired the option on the Hayden Herrera biography, Frida. A succession of stars including Madonna, have vied for the title role throughout this film's long road to celluloid, and a competing production on Frida Kahlo's life story was to star Jennifer Lopez before it was abandoned. Hayek was determined to get the film made and was instrumental in assembling the cast. She first recruited Alfred Molina ('Chocolat') who plays her husband, Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, then Oscar-winner Geoffrey Rush ('Shine,' 'Quills') who plays Leon Trotsky. Other stars are Ashley Judd ('Double Jeopardy') who plays Italian photographer Tina Modotti and Antonio Banderas ('Spy Kids,' 'The Mask of Zorro') who plays Rivera's rival David Alfaro Siqueiros. Director Julie Taymor has made several Shakespearean tragedies and was attracted to the film 'Frida' by the complex relationship between Kahlo and Rivera.

Entertainment: Fall film preview - A look at this autumn's new movie releases

TAPE: EF02/0723 IN_TIME: 06:34:46 / 14:49:11 DURATION: 5:55 SOURCES: APTN/Warner Bros/New Line Cinema/Universal Studios/MGM Pictures/Miramax Films/Dreamworks Pictures/ Focus Features RESTRICTIONS: No re-use/re-sale of film clips without clearance DATELINE: Los Angeles California USA, August 22, 2002 SHOTLIST: 1. Clip - 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' - Warner Bros. 2. Clip - 'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers'- New Line Cinema 3. Clip - 'Red Dragon' - Universal Studios 4. Clip - 'James Bond: Die Another Day' - MGM Pictures 5. SOT (English) Gregg Kilday, Film Editor: "This fall is going to look a lot like last fall. There's going to be a lot of d?j? vu in the air. Two of the biggest hits from last year - Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings are coming back with sequels. The second Harry Potter installment and Lord of the Rings, Two Towers - so those are guaranteed going in to be two of the biggest films of the season plus there's another James Bond Movie, another Star Trek Movie - sequels like 'Santa Clause Two' there's going to be a lot of familiar titles on the screen." 6. Clip - 'I Spy' - Columbia Pictures 7. Clip - 'The Truth About Charlie' - Universal Pictures 8. Clip - 'The Tuxedo' - Dreamworks Pictures 9. SOT (English) Gregg Kilday, Film Editor: "Ever since the success, more than twenty years ago now, of 'Jaws' and 'Star Wars' - movie studios have seen that the teen audience can really drive a movie and we do see movies that are aimed towards specific groups like older women - there's a couple of dramas coming out like 'White Oleander' that'll be aimed at a smaller section of the market. They don't expect them to be as big, in terms of the box office response. But I think once they start to send a certain amount of money - once they move above the 50 million dollar range and they're looking towards 100 million dollars - then they are looking for the widest possible audience so sometimes that's a general family audience, sometimes it's a more teen audience. I think the one thing we are seeing this year is more and more of a hesitation of doing a hard 'R' rated movie. Even movies that are action oriented, like the upcoming James Bond movie - they tend to keep them as PG-13 movie so they can get the widest possible audience." 10. Clip - 'Frida' - Miramax Films 11. Clip - 'Trapped' - Sony Pictures 12. Clip - '8 Women' - Focus Features 13. Clip - 'White Oleander' - Warner Bros. MORE SEQUELS IN THE FALL They say it was a summer of sequels - now it looks as though movie fans can look forward to more of the same - but different with a new spate of part twos, threes and even....ten if you're talking about Star Trek. 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' and 'The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers' are expected to top the charts when the latest feats from tinsel town hit the silver screen. Also on movie fan's waiting lists are the latest James Bond film, 'Die Another Day' - starring, once again, Pierce Brosnan, and Oscar winner Halle Berry. Universal Studios hopes thriller addicts will be on the edge of their seats as they reveal the prequel to 'Silence of the Lambs' - 'Red Dragon' with the disconcertingly charming Anthony Hopkins and Edward Norton. According to movie analysts - the early autumn is a time when most films go to smaller target audiences: women, independent film lovers and so on. But with movies being the enormous generator of funds that it has become - studios are sure to give audiences the blockbusters they have come to expect all year long. It may be a bit of a wait before the Harry Potters, Lord of the Rings, Star Treks, James Bonds and Red Dragons his the screens - a couple of months - but rest assured there will be plenty of new films coming to a theatre near you. If buddy movies are your scene - there will be a fair few to pick from. Eddie Murphy is teaming up with Owen Wilson in what the studio says is a very loose remake of the 'I Spy'series with Bill Cosby and Robert Culp in the sixties. In fact, the film is said to bear little resemblance to the series at all. Murphy is playing Culp's part and Owen Wilson - Cosby's. Regardless say the studio and its players - the film is good fun. Mark Wahlberg, Thandie Newton and Tim Robbins helm another adventure flick of mis-matched friends: 'The Truth About Charlie' which is a remake of the Cary Grant classic, 'Charade.' If an old time caper made new isn't your cup of tea - there is still 'The Tuxedo' - Jackie Chan's latest caper in which - you guessed - his martial arts background will come in awfully handy. With all the action and gun slinging that will be make its mark on celluloid - some movie viewers may be looking for some more thought provoking trips to the cinema. Art lovers can look forward to Miramax Films 'Frida' with Selma Hayek who - of all things - stopped plucking her eyebrows in order to be a closer match to the provocative Mexican artist. It is rumoured both Madonna and J Lo (Jennifer Lopez) had also vied for the role - but persistence paid off and Hayek took home the part. Her beau, Edward Norton is also in it along with Geoffrey Rush, Ashley Judd and Antonio Banderas. Charlize Theron signed on to 'Trapped' when last year's Screen Actor's Guild strike was threatening - but is sure her choice of films is still top of the mark. Theron's real-life fiance, Stuart Townsend plays her husband in this thriller that sees the pair's daughter kidnapped by a couple portrayed by Kevin Bacon and Courtney Love. Also in the queue for movies for women is '8 Women' with an octet of France's favourite femmes fatales taking part in this murder mystery caper. Catherine Deneuve, Fanny Ardant, Isabelle Huppert and Emmanuelle Beart are among the players in this drawing room romp. And finally - if you're looking for something a bit more somber - Michelle Pfeiffer, Robin Wright Penn and Renee Zellwegger helm this film. Pfeiffer takes on the role of Ingrid Magnussen - a women who proves to be an unfit mother - and the foster parents who take in her daughter - portrayed by newcomer Alison Lohmann. All in all - this autumn's releases look set to try and please every type of movie goer. With so many franchises at work, though, one wonders what's in store of Oscar season.....
