Socialite Life's Dead People Montage

You know the time during the Oscars where they show a slideshow presentation as a tribute to all the individuals who have died in the past year? Those whom the Academy has deemed worthy of being remembered? Of course you do, and like us, you probably refer to it as the "Dead People Montage."

Well, we decided to create a "Dead People Manage" of our own for you to peruse. And on Oscar night, you get the added bonus of seeing whether or not we think like the Academy. Lucky you!

Greatest Oscar Moments Photo Gallery

Unprecedented upsets, unrehearsed speeches blurted out in the heat of the moment and surprise kisses--these moments that have taken place on the stage of the Academy Awards are what have made the show worth watching through the years.

As much as producers might try to plan musical acts, awkward on-stage couplings and flashy production numbers, it's those unplanned flashes of brilliance that have been our favorites.

Paul Newman Remembered

Iconic movie star Paul Newman passed away at the ripe old age of 83 in September of last year. Now, we know the word "icon" gets tossed around far too frequently these days, but the Academy Award-actor left behind a legacy that far extended beyond his impressive film career.

Newman served in the Navy in World War II, studied Drama at Yale before taking on Broadway and eventually breaking into Hollywood, where he would indelibly leave his mark.

A devoted husband and father, Newman's marriage to Joanne Woodward lasted an impressive 50 years. In addition, his philanthropic efforts for charities, which include his Newman's Own line of food products and the Hole in the Wall, ensure that his humanitarian efforts live on.

Tragic Red Carpet Moments: Mens

It would seem to be the easiest thing in the world. If you're a guy and preparing for a red carpet event, all you have to do is make sure that your tuxedo fits. It's not rocket science.

However these adventurous souls decided that a boring old suit and tie just wasn't doing it for them. Why let the ladies have all the fun?

And though we commend them for their passion for fashion, these red carpet train wrecks have earned themselves a place in our photo gallery of Tragic Red Carpet Moments. Hold onto those Bolo ties, guys! You never know when those might make a huge comeback.

Tragic Red Carpet Moments: Ladies

With so many different styles and designers to choose from, it's easy to see how female celebrities might get overwhelmed when selecting a look for the red carpet. In a sea of some of the most beautiful, glamorous faces in the world, it's not enough to be stunning. One has to be stunning AND original, just to get noticed.

So, here are some lovely ladies we would like to think got swept up in the moment and made a few fashion missteps on their way to the red carpet. And we'd like to thank them too because, dammit, these red carpets full of perfection get boring after a while.

Featured in the gallery: Angelina Jolie, Anne Hathaway, Celine Dion, Charlize Theron, Diane Keaton, Faith Hill, Gisele Bundchen, Gwyneth Paltrow, Heather Graham, Heather Mills, Heidi Klum, Helena Bonham Carter, Hillary Swank, Jennifer Hudson, Julie Christie, Juliette Binoche, Kate Hudson, Kelly Lynch, Laura Linney, Melanie Griffith, Michelle Yeoh, Naomi Watts, Penelope Cruz, Rebecca Miller, Renee Zellweger, Scarlet Johannson, Tilda Swinton, Tyra Banks, Uma Thurman, Winona Ryder.
