It was the usual razzmatazz on the red-carpet. The ladies in their fabulous gowns and the men in their snazzy suits. Check out the hits and misses at the red-carpet of the Oscars 2012:

The Dazzlers

With her leg strut out dramatically through the slit of her black Atelier Versace gown, Angelina Jolie was easily the most talked about celebrity on the red-carpet. Jolie continued her pose on stage and very soon her leg even had a Twitter account! Brad Pitt, however, looked rather dull in front of Angie’s sexy persona.

Looks like Meryl Streep came prepared to match her dress with her award! The actress sizzled in a draped gold Lanvin with matching earrings sandals.

Peel-A-Boo!

Is Jennifer Lopez regularly dared to wear revealing gowns? We think many must have waited for the gown to slip a wee bit more for the headline making wardrobe malfunction. Cameron Diaz, on the other hand, wore a gorgeous gown and ruined it with those points.

All White

Milla-Jovovich, Rooney Mara, Gwyneth Paltrow

Milla Jovovich went for an Ellie Saab one shoulder gown while Rooney Mara sported a back-baring Givenchy dress. Gwyneth Paltrow looked cool despite the superhero-esque cape.

Red Hot

Natalie Portman, Michelle Williams, Emma Stone

In a cute red-and-black polka dotted gown, Natalie Portman was definitely eye-candy at the Oscars. With a cute pixie haircut, Michelle Williams went for a red Louis Vuiton gown while Emma Stone went for side swept bangs in a red Giambattista Valli gown.

All Suited

Gary Oldman, Antonio Banderas, George Clooney, Jean Dujardin
