James Franco may have won the eveningwear portion of the competition with his pink silk homage to Marilyn Monroe, but he also rocked several made-to-measure Gucci tuxedos during the evening.

The style combinations included a gray shirt with dark jacket, and a white jacket with black pants and cummerbund. (You can see some of his different tuxedo looks here.)

But Hollywood's more conservative men also looked great at the 2011 Oscars.

Best Actor Colin Firth not only wore a Tom Ford tuxedo, but he also thanked the former Gucci designer turned Hollywood director in his acceptance speech. (Ford also directed Firth in the 2009 film "A Single Man.")

Firth's suit was made with "ethical materials" -- meaning from managed, renewable resources -- in line with the ecological beliefs of his wife, Livia, who is partners in the London Fairtrade boutique Eco Age.

Firth told the U.K.'s Daily Mail, "It's all too easy not to think about these things but Livia educated me on the importance of knowing where the clothes you wear come from and I feel a moral duty to do so."

Best Supporting Actor Christian Bale wore an all-black Gucci shawl-collar tuxedo, accessorized with cuff links and a watch from Harry Winston. His beard was styled by Paul Bunyan.

Jake Gyllenhaal, who presented two awards with nominee Amy Adams, wore a made-to-measure Ferragamo tuxedo.

On the red carpet, the E! network's Ryan Seacrest wore a tuxedo by Burberry designer Christopher Bailey.

The Academy Awards, like a mass wedding, is all about the brides -- but it's nice to know the men pay some attention, too.

As millions watched Natalie Portman's TV ad for Miss Dior Cherie perfume air during the 2011 Oscars, a different video starring Dior designer John Galliano was also coming to light.

Its shocking, anti-Semitic content puts him on a collision course with the proudly Jewish Portman.

She was asked about Galliano's comments in the backstage pressroom after her Best Actress Academy Awards win, but was prevented from answering by the event moderator.

The U.K.'s Sun newspaper has obtained film of earlier remarks made by Galliano that are allegedly similar to those that resulted in his arrest, and subsequent suspension by the fashion house on Friday.

In this disturbing video he declares, "I love Hitler!"

Apparently drunk at the La Perle brasserie in Paris, he tells those filming the exchange, "People like you would be dead today. Your mothers and forefathers would be (expletive) gassed."

The video foreshadows an ugly incident that allegedly happened in Paris late last week, which resulted in Galliano being charged by police with assaulting a couple in a cafe.

While the people he was speaking with in the earlier Sun video were not in fact Jewish, the face of Dior's new perfume, Natalie Portman, was born in Jerusalem. She is a steadfast supporter of Jewish causes and in 2003 received the Israel Cultural Award.

In 2005, she told author Abigail Pogrebin in "Stars of David: Prominent Jews Talk About Being Jewish": "I have a very close friend who lately has this European, anti-Israel way of thinking, and it's very hard to have conversations with him. ... (Being Israeli has) become a much bigger part of my identity in recent years because it's become an issue of survival."

It remains to be seen how this development will affect her relationship with the European luxury brand. A spokesperson for Dior was not available overnight for comment.

Melissa Leo's F-bomb.

James Franco in a Marilyn Monroe dress.

Oprah Winfrey's bountiful bust.

And a radiant Natalie Portman accepting her Best Actress Academy Award to waves of adulation from the audience.

There were many moments worth talking about at last night's 2011 Oscars -- although maybe not enough to justify the annual, epic three-hour broadcast.

Even Roger Ebert was complaining on Twitter, in response to a quip by Billy Crystal, "Urgent to producers: You're not running long. You're running slow."

ABC viewers saw co-host James Franco give a strangely detached seated interview about 20 minutes before the live broadcast, that lead some uncharitable souls to speculate that he might have been smoking with Miley Cyrus before the show.

He retained a strangely serious demeanor throughout the ceremony, lightened somewhat by an appearance in a Marilyn Monroe-esque "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" silk frock. At StyleList we wondered why he never seemed to look at his co-host Anne Hathaway, even as she gamely tossed him shtick -- too nervous to take his eyes off the teleprompter, maybe?

The relief was palpable when Hathaway threw to veteran Oscars host Crystal -- even if, with the "When Harry Met Sally" theme playing and all his Botox, we at first thought he was Nora Ephron.

But then it just got weird when he threw to an even more veteran Oscars host, Bob Hope, who managed to be funnier on a piece of film recorded in 1968 than anyone on hand in 2011. "Welcome to the Academy Awards -- or as it's known in my house, Passover," said Hope from beyond the grave.

It also didn't help that the evening lacked surprises as to its big winners: Melissa Leo, Christian Bale, Natalie Portman and Colin Firth all took their turn onstage, as most expected they would. "Inception" ended up taking four Oscars, as did "The King's Speech," three of them in big categories: Directing, Best Picture and Best Actor.

But! We did love every one of Hathaway's outfits, styled by Rachel Zoe, from the Lanvin tuxedo to her electric-blue off-the-shoulder Armani Privé column gown.

And who doesn't sit up and take notice when Oprah Winfrey takes the stage? Last night she appeared in so much Zac Posen that she looked like she might be starring in a Julie Taymor production of "The Unsinkable Molly Brown."

As New Yorkers, we also have to say we loved the closing number by Staten Island's own P.S. 22 Children's Chorus. (You can read all about them -- as well as make a donation -- on the P.S. 22 Chorus blog page here.)

So what do you think -- was three hours too much, or just enough, for the 2011 Oscars? And should Anne Hathaway and James Franco be invited back?

The 2011 Oscars ceremony got an early jolt of adrenaline last night when Best Supporting Actress winner Melissa Leo dropped the F-bomb during her acceptance speech.

The live television audience was estimated at north of 35 million in the United States alone, although a time delay meant the actual obscenity was silenced.

"When I watched Kate (Winslet) two years ago, it looked so (bleep)-ing easy," she said, before covering her mouth and then pressing gamely on with the rest of her speech.

In the pressroom immediately afterward, Leo addressed the matter of her loose lips, saying: "Those words -- I apologize to anyone if they were offended. There's a great deal of the English language that is in my vernacular."

Leo was already a controversial nominee for her Oscars campaign, which included taking out advertisements on her own behalf. (Although we think it was quite hypocritical for anyone in self-promoting Hollywood to act like this was somehow out of line.)

One of her stated reasons for the campaign was to combat age-ism in Hollywood. Leo, 50, was offended that she was cast as Mark Wahlberg's mother even though she is only 11 years older.

Still, in that ivory lace Marc Bouwer number last night, she certainly looked like the mother of the bride kicking back her heels at her daughter's bachelorette party -- especially when she was swinging that Oscar around like an empty Champagne bottle at the end of the ceremony.

No doubt she had even more fun at the after-parties, where she didn't have to watch her language.

Megan Fox stars in new advertisements for Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans, the first images from which came out last month.

Now, designer Giorgio Armani has released a video teaser from the campaign. In the very brief clip, the tattooed Fox is shown in underwear and jeans, hanging out under a piece of black gauze that's being blown by a fan. (Fashion people -- so crazy.)

Fox is also the face of Giorgio Armani cosmetics.

A longer video from the new campaign is expected next week. Perhaps it will feature more gauze.

We catch everyone from Kim Kardashian and Anna Wintour to Lady Gaga and Paris Hilton gabbing, snapping pics, and texting away on their favorite gadgets.
