[Tush:] We decided we're going to show you how to dress for the Oscars. Why not start feet first.
[Rosie Mennem, Jimmy Choo Shoes:] Right.
[Tush:] Jimmy Choo, one of the best known shoe designers in the world.
[Mennon:] Yes.
[Tush:] And you're one of the designers of Jimmy Choo. This is Rosie Mennem. See, we showed you the shoe that she hand painted.
[Mennem:] Yes, I did.
[Tush:] Which I never heard of.
[Mennem:] Really?
[Tush:] Yeah, I mean
[Mennem:] I guess it's pretty unusual.
[Tush:] But so, what? Every pair is one of a kind?
[Mennem:] They are. They're all totally unique because even if I had to copy, I could never do exactly the same. But I try not to copy any way. I want every piece to be an individual work of art.
[Tush:] So this starts out as just a plain black Jimmy Choo shoe.
[Mennem:] Yeah.
[Tush:] And then you paint it, and there it is. And of course, you have these. Well, we see a lot of those.
[Mennem:] Yeah, they're our main thing.
[Tush:] Rosie told me that she can't say who's been in here, who's been looking.
[Mennem:] No, we've had a lot of
[Tush:] We're going to have to wait until Sunday night. That's all there is to it.
[Mennem:] I'm afraid so.
[Tush:] Now do you sell the shoes to the people or are they loan outs?
[Mennem:] They are. They're with our compliments, yeah.
[Tush:] Oh, do they get to keep them or do they have to give them back?
[Mennem:] They keep them, yeah.
[Tush:] Yeah, it's worth getting nominated for an Oscar for that, right? OK, so how many pairs of shoes do you think you have in here? Let me put these over here. Excuse me.
[Mennem:] It's about 200 pairs of shoes.
[Tush:] Well, do you do the bags also? Excuse me for standing in front of you.
[Mennem:] Yeah.
[Tush:] Look at that. Isn't that nice.
[Mennem:] Yeah, that's a [shin Audrey's] swirl design.
[Tush:] Are we allowed to talk about prices?
[Mennem:] No.
[Tush:] No, we're not going to talk about prices. All right, Rosie, thanks a lot.
[Mennem:] Thank you.
[Tush:] We're going to move on and I guess start working our way up, so to speak. OK?
[Mennem:] Yeah, and I've got to get back to painting.
[Tush:] Oh, go right ahead. Don't let me hold you up. We're going to go find some stars that are nominated for Oscars this year, that have actually worked with each other before.
[Mennem:] Oh.
[Tush:] It's, you know, that six degree of separation game. It's at the Oscars, too.
[Sylvester:] There are fewer than six degrees separating these nominees. No Kevin Bacon needed. Although in a pile of 13, he links Oscar hopefuls, Tom Hanks and Ed Harris.
[Tom Hanks, Actor:] I never actually was in the same room on a movie with Ed. I was in another room on a headset, pretending I was on the far side of the moon, but I did see him on occasion on the lunch line. And I nodded to him in the make-up trailer once or twice.
[Sylvester:] Harris joins Joan Allen in "Nixon." Allen's onscreen with Laura Linney in "Searching for Bobby Fisher." Here's Linney with Harris in "Absolute Power" and "The Truman Show." Linney cross- examines Francis McDormand in "Primal Fear."
[Laura Linney, Best Actress Nominee:] She comes in, she puts down her coffee and you know, she's ready to work. You sort of know. She's very straightforward and extremely kind and so good at what she does.
[Sylvester:] Marcia Gay Harden joins McDormand and Albert Finney in "Miller's Crossing."
[Harden:] He would say, "Darling, I don't want to play the old soldier with your butt." And then he would give me these precious jewels of advice about how to behave in film as opposed to theater.
[Sylvester:] Harden spotted Ellen Burstyn in the "Spitfire Grill." Burstyn played Julia Robert's mom in "Dying Young." The two reunited when Roberts won a pre-Oscar honor.
[Julia Roberts, Best Actress Nominee:] She quoted a line to me from our movie. And I laughed so hard because it was a line that was very funny to me at the time. And I think we had joked around about it. And she was right there on my same wavelength.
[Sylvester:] Link Roberts back to Harris in "Stepmom," Jeff Bridges back to Burstyn in "The Last Picture Show." That's Bridges with Joan Allen in "Tucker." Bridges and Benicio del Toro in "Fearless."
[Benicio Del Toro, Supporting Actor Nominee:] He takes pictures on the movie set, you know. And he makes these books after every picture.
[Sylvester:] Del Toro met William Dafoe on "Basquait." Dafoe knows Juliette Binoche from "The English Patient."
[Juliette Binoche, Best Actress Nominee:] Intelligent, full of talent, creative, lovely man.
[Sylvester:] Back up to Benicio with Harris in "China Moon." And the most obscure link: Benicio to Javier Bardem.
[Javier Bardem, Best Actor Nominee:] I worked with him in a movie called "Olem Balls" and I thought, "Who is this guy?" This is a great actor. And that was eight years ago.
[Sylvester:] So on Oscar night, there are no competitors, just old friends. Sherri Sylvester, CNN entertainment news, Hollywood.
