Oscars

Because it’s always fun to award the Oscar for Best Achievement in Directing to a director for whom English is a second language -- will we ever forget ‘Life Is Beautiful’ and Roberto Benigni? -- the Academy chose Ang Lee. Although Michael Haneke for ‘Amour’ was probably a close second.

Daniel Day-Lewis won the Best Actor Oscar for 'Lincoln' -- his third such trophy, which set a new record.

Jennifer Lawrence didn't beat Meryl this time ... but only because Streep wasn't nominated for anything at the 2013 Oscars. Instead, J-Law beat Jessica Chastain, Quvenzhané Wallis, Naomi Watts and Emmanuelle Riva to win Best Actress. And she fell down.

The much anticipated "In Memoriam" segment of the 2013 Oscars had us wondering one thing: "Where's Barbra Streisand?" Not because we're horrible people and wished her dead -- but because it took a while for Her Highness to make her much-anticipated entrance.

The 2013 Oscars were business as usual for Adele. And by "business as usual," we mean "she slayed and acted like it was nothing."

As even our pet rocks predicted, Anne Hathaway won the Oscar for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role for her portrayal of Fantine in ‘Les Miserables.’ It’s okay when they give Dame Judi Dench an Oscar for barely appearing in a film -- look up ‘Shakespeare In Love’ -- but she’s a Dame. We aren't sure it's cool if the actress hasn't been recognized by the Queen. For her role, Anne H

Christoph Waltz landed his second Oscar win for his role as Best Supporting Actor as German bounty hunter in the controversial Western 'Django Unchained.'

Upon learning that he was hosting the 2013 Oscars, Seth MacFarlane claims his reaction was simple: "It's an honor that everyone else said no." MacFarlane mocked the pomp and circumstance of the Oscars, but he still showed the Academy Awards grace and respect. Though this was not one of the Comedy Central roasts that the 'Family Guy' creator was used to, he still killed it.

Quvenzhane Wallis, who is all of 9 and nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress, was adorable on the 2013 Oscars Red Carpet, wearing a princess-like blue dress with a shawl, poufy sleeves and slight black overlay, while carrying her now-signature puppy purse. Woof woof.

Even with her super short, boyish haircut, onetime Oscar winner Charlize Theron knocked 'em dead at the 2013 Oscars, wearing a white, peplum Dior Couture gown.

'Lincoln' actress Sally Field may be 66, but she's still cute as a button. She looks amazing for her age, and has us wondering what she uses (or used) to maintain such flawless skin. At the 2013 Oscars, she turned up in a long-sleeved, full-skirted, fire engine red Valentino frock.

Kristen Stewart attended the 2013 Oscars while hobbling around on crutches. Still, the 'Twilight' star, Razzies winner and reluctant fashion plate stunned in an ivory Reem Acra gown.

Not since Sharon Stone wore a Gap shirt (with a Vera Wang skirt) to the Oscars in the 1990s has a discount retailer been mentioned among red carpet couturiers like Valentino and McQueen and Armani. Until now. Best Supporting Actress nominee Helen Hunt wore a navy blue strapless satin H&M gown on the red carpet of the 2013 Oscars. Say what?

Best Supporting Actress nominee Jackie Weaver was stunning -- at 65, no less -- in a custom mermaid silhouette red gown by Rani Zakhem at the 2013 Oscars.

Let's get one thing straight: Halle Berry is a stunner. That's indisputable. She's 46 yet she could pass for 36. She is easily one of the most beautiful women in the world ... but she channeled a Las Vegas lounge singer in a shimmery, striped, severe-shouldered Versace gown at the 2013 Oscars.

Jennifer Aniston, who's known to wear basic black at red carpet events, threw us for a loop at the 2013 Oscars by wearing a full, princess-like red gown by Valentino. It reminded us of another red dress worn by another Jennifer (Lawrence, at the Golden Globes).

Actress Zoe Saldana wore one of the edgier looks at the 2013 Oscars.

Best Actress nominee Naomi Watts glimmered in a silver Armani Prive dress with an asymmetrical top. It boasted one capped sleeve and looped across her body and was certainly the most unique cut on the 2013 Oscars red carpet.

Anne Hathaway, one of the breakout fashionistas of the last year, wore pretty, pale pink Prada to the 2013 Oscars. The straight, column shape spotlighted A. Hath's figure and even she showed off some sideboob.

Jennifer Hudson, a onetime Best Supporting Actress winner, donned a long-sleeved, midnight blue lace dress by Roberto Cavalli for the 2013 Oscars. It was certainly a shade not worn by other celebs on the red carpet, and it made her stand out.
