Some of the best and worst looks at the 2012 Oscars
It was the best of fashions, it was the worst of fashions. Here's our take on some of the glorious gowns and horrible mistakes that made it down the red carpet this year -- and even we were surprised by who got it right and who didn't. But we'll let you be the judge (don't forget to vote!).

February 27, 2012 at 6:44AM EST Reply to CommentY'know, this time I really agree with you on Melissa McCarthy. Well, almost, because I think this is the worst thing that she ever wore on the red carpet. I pretty much liked her dresses of previous award shows.

Re: Esperanza Spalding
Black is beautiful. Your views on the afro were pathetic and insulting. You live in a post civil rights world. Embrace that.
Robin Dear Condiala: The Hitflix writers are not being prejudicial in their critisism of Ms. Spalding's hair. Just ask Oprah or Halle - never in a million years would they do a 'fro for the Academy Awards.

February 27, 2012 at 2:37PM EST Reply to CommentMy best picks are: Angelina Jolie, Ellie Kemper, Rose Byrne, and Janet McTeer. Worst picks: Rooney Mara, Maya Rudolph, and Melissa McCarthy. I'm on the fence about Sandra Bullock. It had some pretty elements, but something about the fit was off for me.
