Apparantly Keira's not looking forward to the Oscars - well she's scared, heck who wouldn't be. Also Keira said she sees the oscars as a Dod Show. which i totally understand, it is soooooooooooo much more about what you are wearing and who your date is as opposed to who wins.
Well Keira topped the best dressed poll at the Golden Globes and i reckon she will at the Oscars. Apparantly she's not gonna try on any dresses till the night before despite being sent loads by all the top designers. i'm sure her method will work and she'll shine like the star she is.

No reason to fret. Keira's going to look absolutely fabulous! And I love her hair for Pirates!

here is a really nice (and long) article on why Keira should win the Oscar - New York Daily News
If this year's Oscar voters really want to make a bold statement, their course Sunday night is almost too easy. They should hand the Best Actress prize to Keira Knightley for her performance as Elizabeth Bennet in "Pride & Prejudice."
For one thing, she deserves it. As a purely artistic decision, this might be the easiest Oscar call since picking Johnny Depp as Best Actor two years ago for "Pirates of the Caribbean."
Except, of course, he lost.
And Knightley will probably lose this year, too.
Such is Hollywood.
Her competition, for the record, is perfectly deserving: Judi Dench in "Mrs. Henderson Presents," Reese Witherspoon in "Walk the Line," Charlize Theron in "North Country" and Felicity Huffman in "Transamerica."
Knightley is simply better.
She embodies in every sense the elegant young colt Jane Austen crafted 193 years ago at a tiny writing desk by the sunny front window of her cozy home in the genteel British countryside.
Knightley may be even better than Jennifer Ehle, who created a near-definitive Lizzie in the splendid six-hour 1995 BBC "Pride and Prejudice" miniseries.
For one thing, Knightley plays Lizzie at the age Austen intended, about 20. Most screen Lizzies are older, perhaps because directors feel she's too mature for that age. But Knightley is 20, looks it and hits no false notes.
As with most Austen stories, nothing much seems to happen in "Pride and Prejudice" until the end, when we realize everything has happened: Lizzie and her sweet older sister Jane have found the love that charts the rest of their lives.
Since that's precisely what most people walk around seeking, you'd think it's ground Hollywood would regularly plow - and, once upon a time, it did. But today Hollywood puts less faith in plain old love than in $100 million worth of special effects.
That's why, in a year abuzz with talk of breakthrough awards, a Knightley win might be the most radical statement of all.
So let's not expect it. The best news this week for "P&P" fans will likely be the fact that it was released yesterday on DVD.
Still, since it is the week when Hollywood honors its acting, we should admire how well the modest 19th-century Elizabeth Bennet is conveyed by an actress who, in her own real life, visits trendy clubs in raccoon makeup and poses for the cover of Vanity Fair wearing only a navel ring.
What we're seeing now is the fruits of hard work, since Knightley moved up to Lizzie through lesser roles in films like "The Phantom Menace," "Bend It Like Beckham," "Love Actually" and "Pirates of the Caribbean."
She returns in "Pirates" II and III as Capt. Jack Sparrow's girlfriend, Elizabeth Swann. That's also a good love story.
All it needs is an Oscar or two. (apart from as far as we know Elizabeth isn't Jacks gf)

Was Kate at the pre party for thr Oscars? I went to WireImage and they had pictures of her. I don't know if she was there or not, they had mixed all the pictures together from past and present ceremonies. But if she was there, she might take Orlando to the Oscars and he'll see Keira!

Well unfortunantly Orlando wasn't her escort - its was Caleb. Neither did she win, the oscar went to Reese. Keira looked absolutely gorgous in a wine coloured, one shoulder (next season's biggest trend) dress. pictures should be available soon on BnK. She also made the best dressed list! again! Keira Knightley proved to be fashion royalty at the Academy Awards. She wore a wine-colored, one-shoulder gown by Vera Wang that hit the right balance between youthful funkiness and movie-star glamour.
The 20-year-old wore her strawberry blond hair in a loose ponytail, and she had on a one-of-a-kind necklace with emeralds, rubies and diamonds from the 1960s she chose from the Bulgari archives. ( abc.com)
