Style-wise, the Oscars are a time to shine -- or a time to fall flat on your face. We saw dresses that were draped to the hilt, so much so that it looked like the ladies were wearing their...drapes.
We saw Jennifer Lopez wear pantyhose on her arms (and possibly suffer a wardrobe malfunction?). And Angelina Jolie, we have a bone to pick with you: the fact that you are drop-dead gorgeous doesn't give you license to wear the same boring black dress every awards season. Check out our picks for worst-dressed of the evening and tell us in the comments section if you share our feelings.

Jolie in recent years has proven to be a leading light in the style arena. She's almost singlehandedly brought back old-time, glamorous, enthralling, bigger-than-life star-wattage to Hollywood "style-dom."
I am really over this site. See you all next year when we criticize more dresses and deliberately trying too hard poses showing off thin, pastey, malnourished legs.

First off, Angelina Jolie was the MOST beautiful woman at the awards show, she can and will pull off any dress that she wears to any award ceremony. Following the above comments about her dress, she has never worn that black dress to any award ceremony, and even if so, her beauty over shines the fact that she does not lust over her appearance like most other women. So refrain from such negative comments.

She's tacky and in this Oscar had no fashion sense. I'm almost certain she picked that dress out of her closet as she had no time to shop with all her kids.

Gwyneth Paltrow's dress was my favorite. I'm not sure about the cape, but I think it made that dress, otherwise it may have been just an ordinary dress.

My question is: What the hell was Angelina Jolie showing off, anyway - her severely malnourished, SCRAWNY leg ?
Cant they afford food, or is she anarexic ?

do not share your views on Angelina. If you really look at the dress and stop obsessing on the stance, it is an exquisite dress...the angles at the top, the gorgeous bustle on the back with the stunning diamond brooch at the waist. It's gorgeous and she looked drop dead gorgeous in it. Ya'll are just jealous of her outrageous beauty.
MissTigress: do not share your views on Angelina. If you really
Wow! I don't know what writer, Christina Anderson, was thinking (or smoking) but I totally disagree with her pick here! Forget the obvious bad designs & decisions - I agree with those- but she picked many of the BEST of the night! I was stunned and her obvious lack of taste in couture. Hopefully, readers will check out E! and EW or TV Guide for some much more educated dressed lists for this year's Oscars. This is a farce.

They were all mundane and boringly uninteresting. I really think the Oscars are doomed.
