SAG: Red carpet alert

Clearly, actresses miss the red carpet. How else to explain the high-octane glamour seen at last night’s SAG Awards? Sequins, chignons, scarlet lips and fishtailed gowns dominated on an afternoon that could only be described as sullen and downcast.

It would seem that only Ellen Page ignored the unspoken edict to pretend that there is no such thing as a WGA strike. Page -- who lost to Julie Christie (thank God!) -- wore a simple black sheath that highlighted her gamine frame.

My rule for the red carpet? Don’t wear an outfit that would allow you to climb a tree or play short stop in a pinch. Page could scale an oak in seconds flat in this dress.
