The Oscar’s are just as much about the fashion as they are the films. Designers fight to get their most luxurious gowns on the hottest celebrities on the red carpet. The Academy knows that. Today they revealed the “Oscar Designer Challenge 2010” where you can vote on one of the gowns.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences chose nine emerging designers to create gowns for the annual contest. BBC News reports the winning designer will be announced live during the Oscar pre-show. The model delivering the Oscar statues on stage during the award ceremony will wear their dress.

The nominated designers are all new designers who will surely make their mark if they win. The designers are: Ari Sheuhmelian, Elda de la Rosa, Fernanda Carneiro, Ivy Higa, Kelsey Zimba, Oday Shakar, Oliver Tolentino, Phong Hong and Rania Salibi. The red carpet gowns include a number of popular trends we have been seeing this year. There is a sparkling silver gown, a few nudes, many asymmetric, one shoulder and strapless tops.

Voting opens today at 5 pm Pacific on the Oscar’s website here.
