From the red carpet to the awards show to the after parties, there's no doubt the night is going to be a memorable one. In anticipation of the impending event, we're taking a look back at the incomparable style of the best actress nominees. Keep reading to see why: Julianne Moore The gorgeous red head (top), who has so far swept awards season for her role in Still Alice, is a red carpet favorite of ours.

We think it's safe to say she'll shock us all again when she walks the red carpet on Feb 22. Although she favors Dior, the actress is never one to shy away from a statement-making gown.
