Last night's Project Runway was all about New York City. The designers were paired up, then asked to create two looks — one day, one night — inspired by an NYC neighborhood. Chinatown, the Upper East Side, the East Village, and Harlem were the designated spots. Two groups did exceptionally well, including Anthony and Maya (left), but two tanked. Do you agree with the winner and loser? Check out each pair's day and night look, then vote on your favorite.

Jay Nicolas Sario is proving to be quite the competitor on Project Runway. Last night, San Francisco's own had his second victory for the Hard Wear challenge. Do you agree with the winner and loser? His first win proved he's legit, and now he's further solidified his place in the competition. We had a quick chat with the designer about why he chose a garbage bag, which judge's approval he seeks most, and who his biggest competition is.
Why did you choose garbage bags over anything else?
I chose the garbage bags for no reason. All the designers were not able to sketch a design concept before going to the hardware store, so it was challenging to pick items that I had no idea what to make of. I was not in favor of the garbage bags in the beginning due to the fact that it can almost be used as a fabric, and this was a challenge that pertained to "innovation," but I still kept them just in case. My design organically came together as I worked with the materials I found and that includes a drywall self-adhesive mesh tape that I utilized to give the garbage bags structure and leather like texture. As a finishing touch, I used Gapers tape to add color onto the entire look.

The latest Project Runway challenge was one of the biggest in its history, in terms of the reward and pressure. The designers were asked to create a cover look for Marie Claire's April issue. And the cover model? Heidi Klum! As you can imagine, the work room turned completely quiet as the contestants worked nonstop to finish their magazine-worthy looks. Most did good, a couple drowned, but funny guy Anthony took the crown for his punchy one-shouldered blue minidress. All the judges, including guest judge and editor of the magazine Joanna Coles, loved it. Did you?
On Project Runway last night, the designers were taken out of the city and onto the farm, where they found their models, standing in mud, wearing potato sacks. The challenge? To make a fashion-forward look out of burlap sacks. Only this time, the models served as clients and got to choose their designers. Once they returned to the city, the genius work began. I was highly impressed by most of the looks. It is not easy to make burlap look expensive, but many succeeded, especially winner Jay Nicolas!

Last night's debut of the new Project Runway left me wanting more, more, more. I admit, I was a little skeptical of the talent level, but all my worries diminished after seeing everyone's designs on the runway. The first challenge was to create an outfit that best represented each individual designer. Everyone stepped up to the plate and delivered a unique perspective on their one-of-a-kind aesthetic. Check out all of their awesome looks now!

The red carpet sexiness was just a precursor to the excitement of the People's Choice Awards show. Queen Latifah was once again host for the star-studded evening and kept the clip quick for the two-hour show. Ellen was the night's first winner — check out the full list here! Sacha Baron Cohen finished off the show with a funny presentation to his Sweeney Todd costar and Favorite Movie Actor of the Decade, Johnny Depp. Country sweethearts Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood both walked away with statues and there was no on camera Lautner-Swift run-in. One of the cutest parts of the show was when Inglourious Basterds' Diane Kruger, Eli Roth and BJ Novak announced Lautner's win with cheering. Nicole Kidman sported gloves as she held hands with Keith Urban, who was named Favorite Male Artist, after they posed with Latifah and boy Taylor.
Mariah Carey had to have some help on her way up to the stage to accept for Favorite R&B Artist, and once she and Nick Cannon made it to the press room she was ready to joke about her Palm Springs appearance that had everyone talking, announcing to the press, "Everybody in the club's getting tipsy!" Sandra Bullock got a little emotional accepting one of her awards of the night, but backstage she was all about joking with her fellow-winner and The Proposal castmate Ryan Reynolds. Valentine's Day costars Jessica Alba and Ashton Kutcher posed together backstage after she awarded him the web celeb honors — which he of course streamed live on his Twitter. It was a great night all around, and we're so excited for all the fun and madness coming up all award season long!
