So who's had a little work pre-Oscars night to ensure they look their best on the red carpet?

Sandra Bullock might have won the Oscar for best actress last night but the focus on Sandra and her fellow nominees was less on their acting and more on whether they'd had any work done in the run-up to Hollywood's biggest night of the year.

The Orange County Register, Hollywood's local rag, reported that Helen Mirren and Maggie Gyllenhall have attracted the greatest speculation from celebrity watchers regarding their possible plastic surgery procedures.

Sixty-four-year-old Helen Mirren recently stated her support of women choosing cosmetic surgery to hold back the years, despite being renowned for her natural ageing.

Maggie Gyllenhaal, 32, has not publicly spoken about cosmetic surgery, but has been the subject of many recent rumours about plastic surgery. In part, the speculation has focused on her repeated visits to a medical office building in Beverly Hills. In addition, her official biography on an online website has recently removed a reference to her anti-surgery stance.

It is thought she may have had procedures as diverse as skin-tightening treatments, Botox, a nose job and maybe even eye lifts on separate occasions.

Despite these rumours, only two Oscar nominees are strongly believed to have used injections to modify their appearance - namely Sandra Bullock, who won the leading actress award and who may have had Botox, and Penelope Cruz, who may also have had a nose job in her past.
