Ah, the Oscars are this Sunday. Time for glitz, glamour and some seriously bad faux pas. From Charlize Theron's fake-baked glow at the 2004 Academy Awards to Bjork's bizarre swan dress in 2001 to Julia Roberts maniacal Oscar acceptance laugh, sometimes stars mean well, but just get it wrong somehow.
And then there's the fashion. From Tilda Swinton's "garbage bag" dress in 2008 to Celine Dion's backward suit and cowboy hat in 1999 to Uma Thurman's karate kid look in 2004, there's no telling what the stars are going to wear.
Plus, if they win, they tend to go a little crazy. Who can forget when Robert Benigni leapt through the audience, or when Adrien Brody planted one on Halle Berry? From Charlize's tan to David Letterman's "Uma ... Oprah" gaffe, click through our slideshow and let us know: Who made the biggest Oscar faux pas?

and the misses are large and often
the hit, well, small and few and far between..
sorry dave, your time has gone by, and you are left standing there looking foolish..
ACCIDENT for I worry sick if it DID, MEDICS MIGHT TRY CORRECTING HER HEAD in
order TO DO CPR &ACCIDENTALLY; BREAK HER NECK, KILL HER in the PROCESS,
as the legend goes!
I feel bad for Charlize, the oompa loompa skin does NOT suit her.
Of bigger concern is the tendency by many Americans who cannot (or will not) think for themselves to blindly follow celebs' political views. This is how we get someone like Obama in the White House.
I saw this dress, or one like it, at the Goodwill store.
