Downey Jr: Clean shaven and ready to promote Sherlock Holmes

It was a night of glitz and glamour and sparkle. A night that no one knew who was going to present or how. All we knew was that the late Heath Ledger was going to win and Hugh Jackman was going to sing.

Stile was surprised at a few things: Jackman is one helluva performer, Ledger's friends in the audience (Pitt, Downey, Brody) truly miss the man, and class was brought back to the Oscars. All without George Clooney

Hands down, the best dressed of the night was a tie between Daniel Craig and Robert Downey Jr.

And while the complete tool of a man Bill Maher waxed on about his own ridiculous documentary in an equally-riduclous tuxedo, the night belonged to the men who looked like gold. The best dressed of the night was a tie between Daniel Craig and Robert Downey Jr. — Craig taking the 1950s approach of a shawl collar (and looking remarkably like he was going to shoot up the place) and Downey just looking hip and modern and clean with his peaked lapel.

Overweight men, read and learn for your next big event because you have two options: lose weight (Seth Rogan looked great) or get a tux that fits (Jerry Lewis ditto on looking good). Or, be on everyone's worst dressed list by sporting 50 extra pounds, a ludicrous tux and a beanie. A beanie Phillip Seymour? Really?

Here are the rest of the men of style from last night's awards:

Black Tie Affair
Hollywood celebs, sans George Clooney, Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp, shouldered the weight of the style world at the 81st Academy Awards. Some pulled it off with grace, some should've stayed home (ahem, Philip Seymour Hoffman).
