With every awards show, there are a few trends that stand out and a few stars who rock similar looks. We decided to put some of the nights most memorable looks head to head to see who made a look memorable, and who was just wearing some clothes.
Velvet Beauty
Though many celebs took the night to wear some decidedly springtime fabrics and colors, others kept in mind that it is still actually February and went for a wintry look. Angelina Jolie and the record-breaking Christopher Plummer both looked cozy while wearing velvet, but who wore it best? While Ms. Jolie is turning up on plenty of best dressed lists for her Atelier Versace gown, we think Christoper Plummer looked positively regal and dashing in his velvet tux, and he didn't even need to flash any skin. So the 82-year-old award winner takes home the prize for Best in Velvet, too.

Billy Bob Thornton is a familiar name in Hollywood for acting, but don't forget directing, writing, and producing.
Thornton's Jayne Mansfield's Car is premiering at the Berlin Film Festival this month, and he just announced that he will be co-writing and directing an "ethereal" road movie called And Then We Drove.
Originally titled Drove, Thornton teams up with pal and previous writing partner, Tom Epperson (The Gift) to script the film funded by Alexander Rodnyansky's AR Films and Geyer Kosinski's Media Talent Group. And Then We Drove will be "one of the first of up to six under-$20 million features to spring from the new $120 million film fund."

Move over vampires and zombies, the age of the live-action fairytale has taken over as Hollywood's latest obsession. Two live action Snow White movies are set to to arrive this year — Universal Studios' Snow White and the Huntsman and Relativity Media's Mirror, Mirror. Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters is set to spoof the Brothers Grimm tale early next year after being delayed from March until January 2013. Now Disney, which started the trend with 2010's blockbuster Alice in Wonderland, is developing a life-action version of Sleeping Beauty titled Maleficent and yet another riff on Snow White.
Maleficient will focus on the Disney villainess as the lead character and has had Angelina Jolie attached to play the role since 2009. While Jolie was reportedly set to start work on an untitled thriller with director Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, La Femme Nikita, The Professional) in April, it looks like that will have to wait for Maleficient. "I haven't acted in two years [since 2010's The Tourist], and I haven't done anything else since this [directorial debut In the Land of Blood and Honey]. The next thing I am looking at is a Disney movie," Jolie told THR.

George Clooney, Meryl Streep, and The Artist were the big award winners at the Golden Globes Sunday night, but more importantly, who won the red carpet? Consensus around the web is Angelina Jolie, who eschewed her usual black for a snow-white-and-red Versace gown, and Charlize Theron in a slitty Dior Couture gown tie for top honors. Worst-dressed award-winners are Michelle Williams and Madonna, who were both labeled "matronly."

Angelina Jolie may have found herself in legal trouble for her upcoming directorial debut In the Land of Blood and Honey, but there are still no shortage of roles for the Academy Award–winning actress. Recently attached to star in title role of the biopic Gertrude Bell — which could be directed by Ridley Scott (Gladiator) — Jolie is also set to appear in a sequel to last year's Salt. But all of those projects will have to take a back seat to Jolie's next project: an untitled thriller that will see Jolie work with director Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, La Femme Nikita, The Professional).
Described as a "dramatic thriller with action," THR reports that Universal Pictures has picked up the distribution rights to the movie, and has set production to begin in Paris next April. Besson will produce and also wrote the untitled movie, which the studio is reportedly claiming will be the director's "return to the genre in which he made his name."
Jolie's In the Land of Blood and Honey is set to open on December 23rd, while Besson's latest directorial effort, The Lady, the biopic of Burmese political leader Aung San Suu Kyi, will open on December 12th.

Only a few weeks to go until her directorial debut with In the Land of Blood and Honey and Angelina Jolie has found herself in a legal quandary. A Croatian journalist named James Braddock has claimed that Jolie's movie infringes upon the copyright he has on his book, The Soul Shattering. The upcoming movie is a love story, which takes place during the Bosnian civil war in the early 1990's and Braddock's book has what he claims are unquestionable similarities.
Jolie may be a world traveler and a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, but realistically, what are the chances she has ever read, let alone laid eyes on this book? According to Braddock, the answer lies in one of the movie's producers: Edin Sarkic. Braddock claims that he was in Sarajevo, Bosnia the same time as Sarkic and was approached by him regarding his book. Allegedly, Sarkic discussed the development of the book, and possibly adapting it to a screenplay. Braddock also claimed they met three more times in 2008, but then heard of Jolie's film on his own and now feels he is owed statutory damages plus an injunction against the film's release.
