The Good:
Jenna Fisher looks uncommonly at ease in this elegant little number.


Jane Fleming, President of Women in Film, channels fail-safe, "slightly dowdy elegance" (as Barbara Pym described Ianthe Broome's church bazaar outfit) in an LBD.


Truth to power? Not digging on Jeanne Tripplehorn's severe 'do, even if I get how it balances the soft, voluminous dress. And love the shoes.


Elizabeth Banks rocks total bombshell glam!


As if that wasn't good enough, check out this clutch!


What Say You?
While I adore Diablo Cody's gamine crop, how we feelin' about her jersey frock?


Riddle me this: in combo with the long pants, is Kylie Sanchez's Flashdance shoulder simply too slouchy? Or does she work it?


What is it about the proportion of Busy Phillips' two-tone that's troubling? She looks cute, as usual, but there's some optical dissonance here! I want more bodice.

Tina Fey (30 Rock), Glenn Close (Damages), America Ferrera (Ugly Betty), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (The New Adventures of Old Christine), Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives), Mariska Hargitay (Law and Order: SVU), Kyra Sedgewick (The Closer), Minnie Driver (The Riches), Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men) and Jeanne Tripplehorn (Big Love): these were the women who were nominated for Emmys, by-in-large playing strong, capable, well-written roles. And what's more, most of these women are, gasp, over 35.

Are there so many more available roles for women of a certain age on TV because producing a television show is that much cheaper? Are aging bodies less obvious on the small screen, and so they're more acceptable? Are Hollywood honchos just stuck believing that women don't see movies, or that men don't want to see movies with anything but eye candy? It's probably a combination of all of the above, and even though those televised, meaty roles are something to be proud of, there is not a single black actress on the short list for Best Actress Emmy (there are two Latinas: Ferrera and Eva Longoria-Parker).

I know I've said this so many times before, but there is something concrete we can do to help: go see movies made by women, or made with women in respectable roles. I'd tell you to go see something specific this weekend, but the only recent release with a plucky female protagonist is Kit Kittredge, and if you're not a Jezemom, I'm guessing that holds limited interest for you. Sigh. We clearly have a long way to go.
