Live updates: Oscars 2014



12.51pm: Not a fan of Pharrell's shorts for the Oscars. 
12.48pm: Lupita Nyong'o's headband is amazing! As predicted, she looks breathtaking.
12.44pm: Lead actress nominee Amy Adams says she "felt like she was one" with her Gucci Couture gown. Her dress fits her perfectly and the colour pops against her porcelain skin.
12.38pm: A pregnant Olivia Wilde looks absolutely flawless in Valentino. I love her messy updo.
12.25pm:
12.19pm: Kristen Chenoweth looks gorgeous in a metallic dress. Kelly Osbourne says she looks like "a little award". 
12.17pm: Portia de Rossi says the rain had no influence on her fashion choices today. "I have been upstairs all day with Elle (Ellen DeGeneres) and she has been preparing like crazy." She said she hasn't seen her wife perform the monologue yet.
12.14pm: Liza Minnelli has arrived on the red carpet, wearing a cobolt blue outfit and with blue hair.


11.59am: The Los Angeles Times says late last night, the academy decided to take down the tents protecting the arrival area from rain, and now "the carpet is very soggy, and publicists, journalists and photographers are sporting slickers over ball gowns and tuxedos".

Oscars trivia: The Dolby Theatre in the heart of Hollywood was on lockdown for a week ahead of today's ceremony. Guards stood at every door, and handlers with walkie-talkies kept a close eye on any visitors.
11.50am: The build-up to the Academy Awards hasn't been without controversy. One of the Oscars voting panel brutally dismissed most of the nominees, calling Julia Roberts "horrendous" and of the film she starred in, Gravity: "I've seen better in a planetarium". The voter said Meryl Streep's performance was "bottom drawer" and dismissed Leonardo DiCaprio's performance as "popcorn". Another best picture nominee, Tom Hanks' drama Captain Phillips, was an "unbelievably tedious and headache-inducing", the voter said.
11.40am: Ahead of today's awards show, Ellen DeGeneres spoke of her pre-show jitters, telling the Los Angeles Times: "I can't expect everybody to love me and like everything I do."
Oscars trivia: Ms DeGeneres is returning as host after making her Oscar debut in 2007 and she's had a close hand in the writing process, producers say.
11.35am: E!'s Fashion Police team is ready for the red carpet. Giuliana Rancic looks absolutely stunning. Check out the team on Giuliana's Instagram.
11.30am: Keen to see what's on the menu for the stars today. Check out this video.
11.20am: Check out this adorable version of some of the awards' most memorable Oscar speeches. 
11.10am: Today's ceremony from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles will feature some of the tightest races in recent Oscar memory - making it a lure viewers will find hard to resist.
The tighter-than-usual races, include those for best picture and supporting actress.
American Hustle and 12 Years a Slave are up for best picture - a prize each claimed at the Golden Globes - along with Gravity, which won top awards from the directors and producers guilds.
Also in the running is Dallas Buyers Club, which stars actor and supporting actor front-runners Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto, The Wolf of Wall Street, Her, Captain Phillips, Nebraska and Philomena.

The Best Supporting Actress race is a dead heat between American Hustle star Jennifer Lawrence, and Lupita Nyong'o, who starred in 12 Years a Slave. Both have won honours in this category at other awards shows this year. They will also be two of the most watched stars on today's red carpet, with Nyong'o stunning the fashion world with her sartorial choices, particularly at the Golden Globes, this year.
