The 2013 Oscar ceremony is history but there's still buzz about what the stars wore on the red carpet and why. Turns out Lehigh Valley star Amanda Seyfried may have caused her "Les Miserables" co-star Anne Hathaway to make a hasty last-minute gown selection change.

Hathaway said she was planning to wear a Valentino gown up until just three hours before the awards ceremony. She ended up wearing a pale pink Prada gown with chest darts that accentated her, um, nipples. Hathaway issued an apology about …

Some people see it primarily as a story of faith and redemption and others as a battle of good and evil in a class-driven society. Others clasp on to the love stories – father and adopted daughter, the love triangle of Marius, Cosette and Éponine, the all-sacrificing mother Fantine. And then there are the moviegoers who don’t understand why all those characters have to keep breaking out in song. But for me, one of the most resounding themes is the triumph of complexity over rigidity.
