BUT. I was checking in on awesome preteen wonderblogger
Tavi, she of the giant bow and front-row invites and whatnot, and she informed me that Carey Mulligan's Prada dress that she wore to the Oscars, when seen close up, is AMAZEBALLS:::

IT HAS TINY SCISSORS AND CORKSCREWS AND FORKS AND SHIT ON IT! (Click the pictures and they'll show up bigger.)

Pretty much best dress ever.
That's it, it's settled: Mulligan wins the Oscars.
