  The famous carpet may have changed colour in Hollywood for this year's Oscars - it was described as champagne, instead of being the traditional red. But the glamour on show was the same as ever. Cate Blanchett  had the eighth Oscar nomination of her career. Her elegant blue velvet outfit featured a ribbon made by refugees as part of an initiative from the United Nations refugee agency. Everything Everywhere All At Once star  Michelle Yeoh , who arrived in a white fringe Dior gown accented with diamonds, beat Blanchett to the award for best actress. Michelle Williams  was also nominated for best actress - the fifth Oscar nod of her career - for playing Steven Spielberg's mother in The Fabelmans.
