The 88th Annual Academy Awards may be having a diversity problem as they take place tonight at the Highland Center — but that’s also inspired the Oscars to bring in a very diverse collection of beauties on the red carpet. The panicking Academy has brought a lot of television stars to the biggest night in film. That’s giving us a chance to ogle a very wide range of award-worthy bods. [photo: Jason Merritt/Getty]
Olivia Wilde, for example, looks pretty amazing. Daisy Ridley is also showing off some fine new angles of her intergalactic body. Same goes for hot Oscar nominees like Saoirse Ronan, Brie Larson, and Rachel McAdams in an unusually daring outfit. We also like Rooney Mara, of course, and Cate Blanchett looks really hot tonight, too. We’re not just saying that because Rooney is Cate’s love interest in her Oscar-nominated turn in Carol.

Charlize Theron also looks amazing, but she was still robbed of her Oscar nomination for Mad Max: Fury Road. And we know Olivia Munn is an official movie star now that she has X-Men: Apocalypse coming out this summer.
But the call for diversity means we’re also getting small-screen beauties like Priyanka Chopra and Sofia Vergara. Pop singer Andra Day also rated an invite, and responded with a very hot Old Hollywood look. Heidi Klum, as usual, shows that supermodels can always steal any kind of gala event.
Maria Menounos would’ve shown up, anyway. She’s covering the red carpet for E!, but also reminds us why she’s a star in her own right. Now check out this red-hot carpet and get a good reason to watch the Oscars — even if you’re offended by a lack of diversity…
