That's right; a thread being vile about a WOMAN

WTF was that all about? For anyone who hasn't seen

Why was she standing with her leg about 5ft away from the rest of her body? She looked awkward and weird and her leg looked like a chicken leg whereas mine are wonderful, obviously.

AIBU to think that Angelina's Oscar Leg was a bit ridiculous?

I think that's someone standing behind her clutching a bag :o

PattiMayor · 27/02/2012 11:21

I mean the child's fingers, not The Leg

Just clicked the link and I see she Posed like this down the red carpet as well as on stage presenting an award. Looks to me like she's trying to get her wild sex symbol image back you know the angelina who had sex in the car on the way to the oscars then drape herself all over billy bob Thornton on the red carpet

headfairy · 27/02/2012 11:23

she's been going to the Liz Hurley school of posing for the paps. Lovely hair and make up though.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 27/02/2012 11:24

Yep, just engineered to show off the leg. Perhaps the designer insisted that she do it to show off the split as well.

porcamiseria, when she and Brad got together, according to most reports he was still married to Jennifer A. Angelina may be morally questionable for going out with a married man, but he's the one who's a lying scumbag who cheated on his wife. I know who I think is the more despicable in this scenario.

Sorry, I know that sounds po-faced, but I get so sick of the 'husband-stealing'/'marriage-wrecking' etc criticisms that get blithely flung at Angelina while no one says a thing about Brad. It's misogyny and it makes me angry.

it has its own twitter account

Clytaemnestra · 27/02/2012 11:25

I love Angelina Jolie, but she should have left the invisible pony she was riding at home.

BearlyThere · 27/02/2012 11:25

she IS pregnant isnt she?

Lueji · 27/02/2012 11:26

How was she going to show her leg, otherwise?

Still, I think her leg is too skinny. Mine are like that, BTW, just not as long. :-)

I actually wonder about the amount of hair gel/hair spray that Brad had on that hair. Blewgh. It couldn't possibly have stayed put without. I like natural men's hair and to be able to get my fingers through it.

On the what was she thinking side, though, what do you think of Sandra Bullock's dress? So drab and ill fitting. Hmm

sue52 · 27/02/2012 11:26

A subtle glimpse of leg would have been glamorous but that looked contrived and amateur. She has been around long enough to know better.

noblegiraffe · 27/02/2012 11:27

Does she not normally get her legs out? It's so contrived that she must be trying to make some sort of point but with her latest film about Bosnia you'd have thought she'd be a bit beyond flashing a bit of leg for attention. All a bit weird.

TheSkiingGardener · 27/02/2012 11:27

My god they both look so HAGGARD. Blimey.

PattiMayor · 27/02/2012 11:28

Agree LadyClarice

SearchSquad · 27/02/2012 11:28

Yes yes Avantia, she was definitely breaking wind all the way to the podium. Brad's weary expression says it all.

MyNameIsInigoMontoya · 27/02/2012 11:28

Ohhh, I am not normally a Gwynnie fan but she does look amazing! Love Cameron too, and both of them have managed to look really honestly happy too which is quite rare in those pics.

Agree about the scrawny leg, it looks awful, though maybe she didn't realise the effect of the different angles, the shot that is from the front looks (somewhat) better and I think it's a classic sort of pose so maybe that's what she was aiming for but didn't think of the effect of the side shots?

J-Lo's dress is amazing, though I think that style would work even better on someone slightly less curvy, it's very art deco style and I'm sure boyish figures with minimal boobs/bum were the fashion then so that would suit the dress better perhaps. Still lovely though.

I like Jessica Chastain's too, and Natalie P looks fab, she's really "making" the dress rather than the other way round!

messymammy · 27/02/2012 11:28

Weird leg action there alright. Confused

did everyone see penelope Cruz? She is so beautiful, and the dress was stunning. Really old school grace Kelly glamour.

WannaBeWildCosMyLifesSoTame · 27/02/2012 11:28

I thought that, if she was standing in that position without that dress on (ie wearing something different, not naked - although I suppose that would also work to illustrate my point) she would look extremely odd and unladylike. It just shouts desperate attention seeker but then that's the Oscars all over isn't it.

TheSmallClanger · 27/02/2012 11:29

On one of the photos she does seem to be standing normally, it's just that dress has all the detail on one side and makes her look lopsided.
Each to her own, but I didn't think it was a nice dress at all - far too heavy and a bit curtain-y. They didn't say who designed it either.

Can I just say that in every red carpet picture I've seen, Viola Davis looks wonderful? She either has a great sympathetic stylist, or she is a fashion queen.

NettoSuperstar · 27/02/2012 11:30

She looks ridiculous.
Put it away love.

sonicrainboom · 27/02/2012 11:30

Looking at the pictures I feel sorry for all the female slebs who appear to think they have to wear uncomfortable, and often ridiculous, hard to walk in clothing while the male slebs fade into the background with their comfy shoes and identical full coverage suits.

BupcakesandCunting · 27/02/2012 11:31

It was a lovely dress: she just ruined it by posing like she's fanny-farting all the way up the red carpet.

Michelle Williams also looked amazing. Envy

Angelina is looking a bit too desperate for attention.

It's nice to see that Gwyneth has found a solution to hide those pesky flabby upper arms.

SearchSquad · 27/02/2012 11:32

I loved the dress Stacy Keibler (who is she?) is wearing. Definitely the winner. That and Gwen's.

Kellamity · 27/02/2012 11:32

messy I was just coming on to write how elegant I thought Penelope Cruz looked.

headfairy · 27/02/2012 11:33

Maybe Ange just had really sweaty nether regions and needed to let the breeze get to it. I've definitely been there, all dolled up at some fancy do on a hot summer's evening. Feeling defintely damp and desperate to get some air moving down there.

Love Gwyneth's outfit, though it pains me to say so as I find the woman wearing it so frustrating.
