The 69th Annual Golden Globes red carpet was indeed a fabulous one tonight.  Pics of the YBF celebs who graced the carpet with their presence inside...

Before the Hollywood celebs sat down for dinner and host Ricky Gervais' jokes tonight at the Beverly Hilton, they showed off their glam looks on the 2012 Golden Globes red carpet.

Mission Impossible star and presenter for the night Paula Patton made a bold statement in this extremely bright yellow Monique Lhuillier Spring 2012 strapless gown.  The fitted and ruched bodice with mermaid hem works for her body:

Loved the hair, makeup, and minimal jewelry--diamond earrings by Kwiat.  Bold color, but she pulled it off nicely.  One of the most sophisticated looks we've seen her in lately.

Viola Davis, nominee for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama for The Help, showed up in a sexy cranberry one shoulder Emilio Pucci gown which showed off her uber toned arms:

And showed off her gams too.  She kept to the rich tones of her look and rocked gold Fred Leighton jewels and a gold box clutch.

And she's getting this makeup game down to a tee.  Fab.

Mary J. Blige was nominated for Best Original Song in aMotion Picture for her track, "The Living Proof," she wrote and performed for The Help.

And she rocked her usual earth tone glittering and fitted halter style dress by Michael Kors.  The feathers on the bottom of the dress are a bit different than the norm for her, but it just feels like we always see her in a dress such as this.

TV Correspondent Shaun Robinson departed from her usual pageant-girl look and did a more simple black jersey material dress by Impero Couture with a one-sleeved flowing white bodice.  She rocked black ankle strap sandals by Adrienne Maloof, a Swarovski clutch and jewelry by Dena Kemp.

And Octavia Spencer, nominated for Best Performance by an Actress In A Supporting Role in a Motion Picture for The Help, went the trendy spring route as well on the carpet tonight:

She rocked a lavender chiffon cap sleeved Tadashi Shoji gown with crystal embellishments gathering the middle of the bodice.  And had matching lavender Christian Louboutin pumps to match.  Very pretty color for her.  But I wish she smiled more.

Good luck to all the nominees!
