The Oscars are, without a doubt, one of the most awaited events of the year for the whole world alike. The talk about the ceremony starts long before the function actually happens. As soon as the various nominees under different categories are announced, the anticipation starts building up tremendously, not only so as to who will win but also how would the celebrities be lining up the red carpet with their designer ensembles each year.
