The Academy Awards generally take place in California, correct? Not the Swiss Alps? Uma Thurman apparently missed that memo at the 2004 Academy Awards when she opted to wear this Swiss Miss yodeling costume. And the kicker is, as bad as the dress is, she kind of pulls it off ... but not quite.

The thing that's such a shame here is that Uma glams up so well. She looks as much at ease in Prada as she does in yoga attire. And this ensemble (because it truly is an ensemble -- does she have lederhosen hidden under that skirt?) completely hides her long body from view. Just imagine how bad it would look if she weren't six feet tall and slim!
