Ahead of last night's spectacular Golden Globes, FemaleFirst sat down to chat to the lovely Giuliana Rancic, E! Entertainment's news host all about her Live Red Carpet Coverage and what's upcoming in her hectic work schedule.

Giving us some fabulous insider information, Guiliana also shared her predictions for the winners with us, and gave us a sneaky peak of the hottest trends we were likely to see on the red carpet.

Here we give her a grilling about what she's wearing for the big event and who she tips for fashion success on the red carpet...

What have you been up to recently?

Well, just getting ready for the Globes and I was on vacation last week and now I'm back, so I've just been doing some research ahead of Sunday.

What are you wearing for the big event?

I'm going to wear Jay Mendel for Sunday, which is incredibly gorgeous and I was talking about him to someone else the other day actually about someone else who had worn him. I think it was Reese Witherspoon or someone like that and I've noticed that the dress I'm wearing is like a slate grey colour and the other person's was similar and I think that's what we're going to see a lot of this weekend. You know we have those years where we see a lot of colour? you know those oranges, blues and fuchsias, but I think this year and from what I've seen in all my fittings, all the dresses are totally muted and I think even Angelina Jolie's dress at the Critics Choice Awards was very light, kind of a creamy dress and I don't think we're going to see as much colour this year.

Are you excited about Sunday, what do you think we can expect?

I think the actors are really excited this year, because last year, if you remember there was the writers strike and it didn't take place. I was actually one of the reporters that had to announce it and it was nerve wracking! I'm seriously glad that this year I get to be on the red carpet instead of on that stage because it was crazy. I think the actors missed the Golden Globes last year, so they're pretty excited to do it this year, you know it's such an important awards show and it's so glamorous and it's such a gorgeous show and I think they'll be a lot of buzz and enthusiasm on the red carpet and i think they're in really good spirits now and it's such a fun bunch that are nominated too.

Do you think it will be bigger and better this year, or do you think because of the credit crunch it will be toned down?

I think it is. Here's the deal, you know awards shows, there are so many of them now and they struggle with the number, and when the awards shows air, they don't do as well as they used to do. Our red carpet footage does great, because people love the fashion but one you get into the show people get a little bored, so I think that this year they have tried to up the ante and make it cooler and quicker. I think it's going to be a good show that will move quicker and faster and I think there will be a lot of surprises in store, because they have to do that to keep people watching every year.
