Faye Dunaway looks like she's doing her Zira impression from Planet of the Apes.

Ellen Page has obviously been working out(she's got bigger muscles than I do!).

Tilda Swinton should be cast in the David Bowie biopic(hey if Cate can play Bob, Tilda can play the thin white duke).

And Diablo Cody looks like a 74 year old New York socialite.

...really, now we're complaining about Tilda Swinton?

If complaining is a must, can't the wrath of The New Defamer be focused on George Clooney's girlfriend's strange lilypond dress?

I liked Diablo's dress.
At least it wasn't another mermaid dress. I didn't like the way she hunched and grabbed at her dress as she walked on stage. How can you be shy if you've been naked in public before?

@thehmsbeagle: I agree. Lay off the Tilda! Especially when there's that bebowed .... thing Daniel Day Lewis's significant other was wearing. Shudder.

I think Tilda looked beautiful- didn't really love the dress but she was a nice contrast to all the "safe" dress choices. Ellen Page looked like she was 50! Get that kid a new stylist, please.

Has Diablo Cody ever been out in public not wearing leopard print, for Chrissakes? Synthetic leopards are going to go extinct because of her.

It was also ill-fitting.

And Ellen Page's dress was unforgivably blah.

Faye Dunaway's head is massive.

Please! Sissy looked great! And don't even get me started on Tilda.

Maybe Oscar outfit critiques just aren't Defamer's thing?

I think we learned two things from Diablo's "dress": 1. She has no taste. 2. She cannot be referred to as a starving artist.

What the hell are the Jezebel commenters doing here? Is Defamer giving away Seasonale scripts here or something? Quick! I think I saw Maura talking about how Stereogum called Kim Gordon fat over on Idolator! Better get over there quick!

@Benovite: Tilda as Bowie: That's EXACTLY what I was thinking when I saw her.

Thank you so much for putting Jennifer Hudson on your cringeworthy list. On every other list I've seen today she's been on the "best" side. Ugh.

I can't help it. I absolutely love Diablo Cody's dress. I thought she looked fantastic. It really suits her personality. Had anyone else worn it, I would certainly agree that it belongs on the worst dressed list.

Agreed - Diablo Cody's dress worked for her, and her hair & make-up were flawless. I thought I wanted her career, but now I just want her skin.

And while not great standing, Ellen Page looked lovely seated, and how glad are we that she went demure and age appropriate instead of OTT sluttastic?

And where on this list is Nicole Kidman's Silly String o'Diamonds breast plate?

Ummm... please to pay some attention and scorn to Julie Christie's self-designed dressed, which looks like crushed red velvet, and has white see-through glove/sleeves. Glove sleeves! They are attached to the horrid red dress and yet completely envelop her hands!

Sort of an odd decision on Sissy's part to borrow the top half of her ensemble from Diane Keaton but not the bottom.

Um, when did Defamer turn into Jezebel?
Seriously.
Bring back teh snark, not the ET bs.

I can't believe Rebecca Miller didn't make this list. Her dress had a ghetto bedazzler bejeweled be-horrible THING on the front of it. It was the SIZE of her HEAD.

Jennifer Hudson's boobs look like something drawn by Chuck Jones.

@Creepmouse:

I actually thought that WAS Diane Keaton.

Cameron Diaz's dress was wrinkled on the bottom.

@Sleepyhead: I'll give Julie points for designing her own dress, but those sleeve things make her look like an escapee from a burn victim unit.

Diablo's dress was a third rate Wilma Flintstone garage sale markdown. Not the TV Flintstones. The live action movie. The SECOND one. Yes--it really was that bad.

Wow. Diablo's dress waw awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwful. Poor girl. It looked perfectly fine for a beach party at Santa Monica, but the dress had no structure. And the goofy goth earrings, etc.

You could also tell that she did not expect to win 1) because she wore it; and 2) she could barely walk onto stage and make speech (and get off the stage) without clutching at her crotch/hip area where it was fluttering around.

Verdict: fire. Stylist.

Can we leave the Fug Girls to the Oscar dress wrap ups and leave Defamer out of this altogether?

@Bunsy: No, I seriously think she knew damn well the cameras would be on her. You don't go to the Oscars as a nominee in a major category thinking there will be no press coverage. Not if you haven't had a recent brain stem injury.

@saschab: the Fug Girls LIKED the Jennifer Hudson Space Age Parabola Boobs. I think they'd been drinking.

It's very damn annoying when 'stars' refuse to embarrass themselves in front of a live TV audience of millions. It's exactly what the world needs on the last Monday of February each year. This is yet another reason why LiLo, Brit & Paris are ruining it for everyone - they do all the embarrassing shit instead now.

And you forgot Sarah Larson, who was wearing her grandmother's tablecloth.
