The Oscars are fast approaching — they're this Sunday, Feb. 24! We are gearing up for the big night by taking a look back at some of the show's most iconic moments. Angelina Jolie's right leg became famous when she posed with Brad Pitt for the 2012 show, while eight-year-old Drew Barrymore walked the Academy Award red carpet in 1983. Ben Affleck brought Jennifer Lopez as his Oscar date in 2003, and Dustin Hoffman celebrated his win for Rain Man with costar Tom Cruise back in 1989.

So...there are ten movies nominated for best picture and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 wasn't one of them and Midnight in Paris was?!? Demonstration of the foolishness that is the Oscars http://sevencostanza.blog.com/2012/02/23/the-oscars/

There are surly a lot of iconic moments in the pictures like Matt Damon, Clint Easwood, Helle Berry with their Oscars and liked the Brad & Angie's not winning the Oscar moment too beacuse they are my favorite and wish Brad will win the Oscar this time and i'll love that moment more than anything!!!

Demi's dress in 89' kicks ass!! can't believe that it was only 1989 when that was a red-carpet winning gown.. ahhaha.. it seems like it should have been 18th century or something..

the oscars don't mean what they used to if any two bit can win them. Nina in Black Swan wasn't certifiably crazy like Eve was in Three Faces Of Eve 54 years earlier. nor was Portmans win bittersweet like Woodwards was correct Woodward had miscarried her first child 6 weeks before the ceremony and felt like going to that in the wake of losing a child was wrong. but in that photo you could see how proud Paul was of her

I used to be so excited about Oscars. Now, it's just plain boring, meaningless, only vanity fair. It has always been shameless vanity fair, but fascinating one. Now movies are becoming less and less interesting, old generation of fine actors is fading away and the new generation doesn't have this essential sparkle. I don't care about Academy Awards anymore.

What is iconic about Aniston being there?????? She will always be just a presenter and never a nominee or recipient.

to; Anonymous Tue, 02/22/2011 - 7:44am .. Jennifer Aniston, is that you? don't be shy.....Use your real name, we all know how you are not over it SIX years later, considering your fans and BFF Chelsea Handler refuse to move on and keep making you look pathetic

Miss Heath Ledger so much. He was such a great actor. I have read so much about him and he was so liked by everyone. He so loved his daughter Matilda and was very close to his family. Forever to be remembered. RIP Heath

Michelle Williams has changed so much. The happy girl is gone. She is always somber now, even when she smiles.

Iconic? Really? Maybe about 5; the rest are quite unremarkable. Oh and let me be the first to say how glad I am Brangelina won't be there (thank you jeebus) and St. Angie Ho had a great nose job. LOL
