So who was the best/worst dressed at the 2009 Academy Awards ceremony? See the photo gallery below:
Angelina Jolie, who was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her portrayal of the distraught mother Christin Collins in Changeling, wore a sweetheart strapless Elie Saab gown. Jolie has worn provocative clothes at previous Oscar ceremonies. In 2001, she wore a tightly fitted white suit instead of a dress. In 2004, one of her more well received outfits, she wore a white, flowing gown that had a distinctly goddess-like look to it.
Angelina Jolie wore a stunning black sweetheart-neck strapless gown with gorgeous contrasting green drop earrings. And of course Brad Pitt makes a beautiful accessory as well!
The Best Actress winner for “The Reader”, Kate Winslet, wore a one-shoulder with a dress by Atelier Yves Saint Laurent by Stefano Pilati evening gown in grey degrade satin and embroidered black silk tulle, black satin evening sandal and embroidered black satin evening pochette. Kate accessorized with Chopard jewels.
Oscar nominee Kate Winslet looks gorgeous in grey at the 2009 Oscars in Los Angeles on Sunday evening (February 22).
Jennifer Aniston sparkled in a classic, strapless Valentino gown that was anything but boring. After way too many little black dresses, Jennifer has finally picked a winner.
Jennifer's longtime hairstylist, Chris McMillan, has said she hates updos. Perhaps that's why she chose this braided style that looks sweet and effortless.
Penelope Cruz was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Maria Elena, a lively divorced woman in Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
Penelope Cruz told Tim Gunn on the red carpet that she first saw the 60-year-old vintage Balmain white couture gown eight years ago and searched for it when she found out that she would be attending the Academy Awards this year.
She clearly made the right decision when she picked out the frock, ruched and embellished with stones because the Spanish actress won Best Supporting Actress for her turn in the Woody Allen film Vicky Cristina Barcelona and looked like a princess when she took to the stage to accept her award.
Heidi Klum wore an RM by Rouland Mouret gown with a high sexy slit, accompanied by her husband Seal. A surprising choice given the label's modern, nearly architectural leanings. This is definitely a statement dress and it's very pretty, but I take issue with the way Heidi is styled in the dress.
She doesn't need the weird hair (slicked back behind the ears) nor the masses of jewelry (see below). This is a dress that can support itself without embellishment. Heidi has driven it down with overkill.
the German super model was daring enough to wear huge coral-studded silver earrings and stacked bangles with a matching red clutch and peep-toe high heels.
Best Supporting Actress nominee for “The Wrestler,” Marissa Tomei wore a one-shoulder Versace frock with a gorgeous pleated train to add more volume. She chose Van Cleef and Arpels jewelry to complete the ensemble.
Marisa Tomei wore an extremely daring Atelier Versace gown. The origami pleats that make up this dress render it extremely difficult to pull off, but I think Ms. Tomei put forth a valiant effort. Her makeup is lovely, although my mother asked if she'd lost a few bobby pins on the way to the theater.
Vanessa Hudgens' appearance at this year's Academy Awards came as a surprise, but she certainly looked lovely. She sparkles in a black Marchesa gown with feathered detail and glittering piping matched with a beautiful pair of drop earrings and a casual-yet-elegant updo.
Freida Pinto, the international red carpet sensation, arrived in a royal blue one-shouldered John Galliano gown that was inspired by traditional Indian dress, Sari. Accompanying her was the Slumdog Millionare star, Dev Patel.

The always elegant Anne Hathaway wore a strapless champagne-colored Armani Prive gown covered in crystals and circular pailettes with a jeweled dragon brooch on the back.
Nicole Kidman was one of several stars who opted out of the Academy Awards red carpet last night, making her first appearance onstage in a cream gown by L'Wren Scott.
Kidman has been wearing a lot of L'Wren Scott lately, so her choice isn't particularly surprising. Nor is it terribly inspiring, either; when looked at from far away, the strange feathers shooting out of the bottom just look bizarre.
Amy Adams wore a Carolina Herrera red bustier dress with black spider web-piping and a thick, accented with a chunky neck-piece designed by Fred Leighton. Although in our opinion, the crimson dress seemed to compete with her red hair.
Cute and adorable, Miley Cyrus is emerging as the new red carpet darling with her exquisite fashion sense. The teen sensation donned a Zuhair Murad gown at the Oscar night. The sophisticated gown was made youthful with tapered layers and bead detailing at the fringes.
Taraji P. Henson sported a large 19th-century diamond flower necklace from Fred Leighton with a Roberto Cavalli cream-colored strapless dress with tiers of uneven fabric and a train.
Sarah Jessica Parker wore a fabulous Dior Haute Couture dress, a real fairy tale creation. While the bodice looked a bit uncomfortable, the overall effect was breathtaking.
It was a bit uncomfortable to see her weathering the red carpet with husband Matthew Broderick, as they were clearly intent on dispelling the rumors of trouble in their marriage. But clearly Parker knows that looking fabulous is the best revenge.
Last year's Best Actress, Marion Cotillard, was one of several actresses to wear shimmering dark blue and black, undoubtedly sparking a formalwear trend that will trickle down to promwear come April.
Like Sarah Jessica Parker, Cotillard wore a fabulous belted Dior Couture gown. Her hair was styled into a sleek, very French-looking updo. She wore some fabulous jewels, as well.
Later in the evening Cotillard slipped into a dark blue cocktail dress to hit up the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
Natalie Portman was sweet and sober in her orchid-pink prom dress that she wore while presenting at the Academy Awards. It’s worth noting that this is the first time someone has worn Rodarte at the Oscars. The Israeli beauty looked perfect in this Hellenic-inspired gown with her hair tightly pulled back.
Meryl Streep was nominated for the award of Best Actress in a Leading Role for playing Sister Aloysius Beauvier in the religious drama Doubt. Streep, who has been the target of fashion critics in the past for her choices, wore an elegant taupe Alberta Ferretti off-the-shoulder gown. In 2006, she wore a plum gown with a V-neck that was well reviewed.
Beyonce showed up in black and gold ubertight gown with a fishtail hem. Fifty bucks says she had a rough time walking the red carpet in it. She certainly looked uncomfortable posing on the red carpet.
Jessica Biel proved that yes, Prada can look bad on occasion. Her white Prada dress was both floppy and sloppy on the red carpet. While her half-up, half-down hairstyle is pretty, it actually looks greasy and unattractive in most photos.
