For guys, it always seems to be pretty easy--just shower, shave and throw on a tuxedo that doesn't make you look like you're catering the event. This year, it doesn't look like there were any glaring misses amongst the male celebrity attendees of the Academy Awards with most of the men keeping it simple with either a black bow tie or just a simple, monochromatic tie.
In the sea of black and white, a few guys managed to accessorize in a way that only men can--using their facial hair. James McAvoy and Viggo Mortensen had grown out a beard for the occasion, distinguishing them from their clean-shaven counterparts. Spike Lee and Wesley Snipes mixed it up with some glasses, with Spike sporting an pin featuring Barack Obama's face on his lapel, and Wesley mixing it up with a navy suit, instead of the traditional black that everyone else seemed to be wearing.
All in all, I have to say that everybody looked as if they took the advice of their girlfriends and wives, kept it simple, elegant and my two favorite guys of the evening were Josh Brolin and Javier Bardem.
