Julie Christie wears her own clothes

A little rant against tabloids, a little tribute (again) to Sarah Polley and other women in the business -- notably, Tamara Jenkins' script for "The Savages."

Julie Christie is grace and graciousness personified -- even in the face of this double whammy: some dork asked her how she felt, and then offered to carry that oh-so-heavy statue to the after party -- where, we can all assume, he wasn't invited. We'd like to think that if there's any justice in the world there's dork-finding GPS on that lightning outside.

Christie handled it with aplomb, and even refused to give the designer name of her outfit (it was her own, she said), with a simple yet poignant, "I don't buy into the walking advertisement thing."

A fitting end to the night, we'd say.
