Paolo, known for his makeup transformations, accepted the award in a gold sequin gown while femulating Hollywood actress Julia Roberts. Wow!

Wouldn't THAT make a hit at The Oscars? Imagine if Best Actor went to a trans role and the actor in question accepted it en femme. Jared Leto won for Supporting, and maybe Eddie Redline will be nominated for Best Actor -- but to accept the award in a gown and heels, THAT would make a statement.
