NEW YORK (CBS) When the Golden Globes are handed out on Sunday, many will tune in to see who takes home the trophies - and others will watch to see what the stars are wearing.

The first big event of the 2011 awards season is sure to bring out a number of memorable dresses - for better and worse - if past years are any indication.

Last year's red carpet highlights included Penelope Cruz in an elegant black Armani Prive gown, and Kate Hudson in a stunning white strapless number by Marchesa. Tina Fey, however, was criticized for her unflattering Zac Posen dress, and January Jones was a bore in a drab gown by Lanvin.

Fans and fashionistas will put out their own best and worst dressed lists for this year's gowns after the Globes ceremony, which takes place Sunday and will be broadcast live on NBC.
