Fashion Watch loves models. Who wouldn’t? They simultaneously make us feel sick with envy and yet marvel in wonderment at such physical beauty.

I was particularly glad that Colin Firth won for the beautifully shot A Single Man, and loved Vanessa Redgrave getting...

Yes we know they’re everywhere – the lists of what was hot and what was definitely not in 2009.

But we’re setting the bar a little higher for this list: it is not just for the predictable...
