Wartime worries have soured Hollywood's glamorous plans for the 75th Annual Academy Awards. Will the U.S.-Iraqi conflict cause a last-minute postponement of the ceremony? Only time will tell, but Oscar organizers have canceled their glitzy red carpet arrivals for the first time, for fear of looking distasteful. And some drama queens are even boycotting Hollywood's biggest night! So far, these include Will Smith and Finnish director Aki Kaurismaki, whose The Man Without a Past is up for best foreign film.

With the red carpet yanked out from under 'em, those celebs who do attend the Oscars have themselves a fashion dilemma: Glam it up, or go safely sober?

"I thought organizers would not only scrap the circus outside, but that they'd also ditch the formal dress code," says Tom O'Neil, host of the awards website GoldDerby.com. "During World War II, the Oscars set the protocol of how to conduct an awards ceremony during trying times. You scrap formal dress and do business attire. That's what the Emmys did after 9/11. Stars loved it. That sends the powerful message that they're just getting down to the business of hailing great [work].

"From what I'm hearing, a lot of stars are doing it on their own," he continues. "They're sending back the gaudy clothes and baubles, and asking for more subdued colors. It would be in poor taste for them to crow about their pampered lives while our soldiers are suffering half a world away. Hollywood can't be fiddling while Baghdad burns."

"I hope they adopt a 'show must go on' philosophy both in mood and dress, but you don't know how serious this will be," suggests Steven Cojocaru, author of Red Carpet Diaries: Confessions of a Glamour Boy. "Stars are going to be speed-dialing their stylists, because they're petrified of being un-PC. They'll have to judge it in the moment. Nobody wants to be dissed or have some loudmouth on the Today show dissecting their clothes!"

Leon Hall (E!'s Fashion Police) agrees with Cojo about going on with the show. "I don't think people should be embarrassed to love their celebrities," he insists. "The Academy Awards are international. They don't just belong to America. I just hope this doesn't diminish the nominees who have worked so hard to get there."

On Oscar night, the Hollywood celebs who aren't nominated usually sit and watch the three-hour plus ceremony on TV. Many attend lavishly catered "viewing parties" — while others park it on the sofa with some munchies, just like you. Of course, world events could mean Sunday night's Oscar ceremony will be postponed at the last minute. Just in case, though, TV Guide Online polled Tinseltowners to learn which movies and movie stars they're rooting for. According to them, the 75th Annual Academy Awards should go to...

Vin Diesel (A Man Apart): Catherine Zeta-Jones worked her ass off in Chicago. And you could tell she enjoyed it!

Michael Chiklis (The Shield): Chicago for best picture.

Jeff Probst (Survivor): How could you not give it to Nicole Kidman for The Hours?

Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon (NYPD Blue): I'd love to see Queen Latifah get it for Chicago, absolutely!

Alex McLeod (Joe Millionaire hostess): Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Sharif Atkins (ER): Daniel Day-Lewis (Gangs of New York). I haven't seen the other performances in his category, so I'm admittedly biased.

Chad Michael Murray (The Lone Ranger): I'm rooting for Daniel Day-Lewis.

Benicio Del Toro (The Hunted): I'm a Jack boy.

Andrea Parker (Less Than Perfect): Meryl Streep (Adaptation).

Jamie Kennedy: I'd like to see Martin Scorcese for best director for Gangs of New York — 'cause he's never won and he deserves it!

Lynn Whitfield (Head of State): Julianne Moore was stunning in Far From Heaven.

Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore, Spun): Nic Cage (Adaptation) was great.

Penny Johnson Jerald (24): Julianne Moore for Far From Heaven.

Cathy Moriarty (Analyze That): Martin Scorsese. He directed me in my first feature — Raging Bull opposite Robert De Niro — that ultimately earned me an Oscar nomination at the age of 18. I want him to win.

Frankie Muniz (Malcolm in the Middle, Agent Cody Banks): I'm rooting for Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Jhoni Marchinko (Will & Grace executive producer): Julianne Moore for Far From Heaven.

Todd Oldham (MTV's Crib Crashers): Queen Latifah. She was so lovely to me in the beginning of my clothing career. I did a lot of her stage clothes, and I've just been such a huge fan of hers.

LeAnn Rimes: Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Serial killer Ted Bundy was executed in 1989, but TV movies refuse to let him rest in peace. Mark Harmon played the sinister role in 1986's The Deliberate Stranger. And tonight, Once and Again's Billy Campbell goes handsome and homicidal in USA's similarly titled The Stranger Beside Me (8 pm/ET). Did he watch Harmon's gorefest for evil pointers?

"I haven't seen [Harmon's film]," Campbell tells TV Guide Online. "I sort of avoided it on purpose. I think he's much better looking than I am."

Actually, both Harmon and Campbell have that trustworthy, All-American Hunk Next Door look, which Bundy reportedly used to fool his female prey. But after wifebeating J.Lo in Enough, what possessed Campbell to portray another woman-hating psycho? "You mean, besides the fact that I needed a job?" he laughs. "I just wanted to see if I could do it. I'm learning lately that it's a lot of fun to play bad guys."

The toughest part of shooting this true crime thriller? "I spend a lot of the movie carrying young women around," he cracks. "That was particularly difficult because they were pretending to be dead, and that's just dead weight. It was hard on my back."
