Oscars dresses: the very best and worst Academy Award frocks EVER

Since we all know the that The Artist will win everything from Best Picture to Best On-set Portaloo, the only thing left to speculate about is the dresses. Ah, the dresses… Obviously no one will ever beat Bjork in her Marjan Pejoski creation, but will anyone fail as badly as poor old Gwyneth Paltrow in her ill-fitting pink Ralph Lauren gown to go with the great blub-fest of 1999? Perhaps the actress herself will – there’s also the Alexander McQueen fiasco of 2002 to consider (it ended up in her dustbin the next day – sad face), although please do bear in mind how she redeemed herself in Calvin Klein last year…

Other all time favourites include, obviously, Michelle Williams in her mustard Vera Wang, Keira Knightley also in Vera Wang (which she gave to Oxfam afterwards), Hilary Swank for proving that high neck could be sexy in Guy Laroche, Julia Roberts in her vintage Valentino, Kate Winslet in good old Ben de Lisi, Marion Cotillard in her Dior scales, Penelope Cruz in her frothy Versace and, actually now in hindsight, Halle Berry in her sheer Elie Saab creation. Meanwhile, on the not so great front, we have Jennifer Lopez looking preggers in Marchesa, Scarlett Johansson in her Dolce and Gabbana (albeit not helped by her hair) and Renee Zellweger, probably in Carolina Herrera, looking too skinny to make it to the podium.

Come on, Gwynnie, all eyes are on you! How about recycling Cher’s 1986 number?
