A look back at Oscar's sore feet

With only a few days until the Academy Awards, it’s time to start organizing the office pool, ordering Oscar night snacks and refreshing your memory of the best and worst red carpet fashions!
Ah yes, the Red Carpet. A time when bunions must be hidden under floor length dresses, foot pain is ignored in favor of high heels, and even the wackiest dress is paired with a stiletto.
As someone who starts watching Red Carpet coverage in the afternoon and watches until the Best Picture is announced, I am always eager to see what trends surface at the ceremony. And under those floor length gowns there is always the promise of a great shoe and the guarantee that supportive shoes have been left at home.
Like when Cate Blanchett attended the 2008 Academy Award six months pregnant and even that did not stop her from pairing a killer heel with her gown.
…Or last year, when Tilda Swinton (who has a large bunion) stuffed her feet into pointy heels to compliment her beige and black ensemble.
But don’t fret my little bunionettes. Let’s applaud Diablo Cody who in 2008 won best screenplay for Juno. She also turned down the opportunity to wear $1 million Stuart Weitzman and instead took home the Oscar in a pair of sensible gold flats. Bravo!
