Oscars Extravaganza: We’ve got every angle of that Oscar red carpet covered: Documenting every gown? Check. Best and worst dressed? Got it. There were plenty of quick changes. We picked out the biggest trends of the night (dudes with long white hair–who knew). MObama made a surprise appearance, much to our delight. And don’t forget the after-parties!
