We've shown you a selection of Oscars dresses, but now it's time to address the most important question of all: who was the Best Dressed at the 2009 Oscars?
Cast your votes in the poll you'll find under the jump and help us decide who wins the award for the Best Actress in a Leading Dress…
I’m surprised that there haven’t been any votes for amy adams yet … I would have chosen her, but Marisa stole my heart
Natalie Portman surprised me while most of these ladies did not. They looked beautiful, but a little predictable too. Tomei’s dress was her best yet, but STILL I think she looked a little washed out.
It was hard for me to choose between Adams and Tomei, but I went for Adams because I think her choice was braver.
I think it was the color of Portman’s gown that really made it stand out to me.
Tina Fey was stunning in her vintage look. Really surprised you didn’t mention her.
Annie Hathaway, maybe too white but the fabric and cut was gorgeous. She looked very pretty. Whoa for Armani.
I vote for QUEEN LATIFAH

That’s how women of her size should present themselves: with pride and dignity, but not overly in your face. I love that dress.
The worst dressed in my opinion is Bridget Fonda. http://www.gala.de/asset/Image/bilderstrecken/2009/oscar/roter-teppich/oscar-roter-teppich44.jpg
She looks like she’s 60 or older, the pattern and the shape of the dress are unflattering and dull, and let’s just not speak about that hairdo…
May I continue?
Runner-up for worst dressed: Melissa George

Not only does this terrible Barbie-skirt seem to be THE fashion rage this year (see Beyoncé and Vanessa Hudgens), the bodice looks like underwear! I would not leave the house in this, let alone go to an awards ceremony…
I thought Kate Winslett looked very poised and classy…. and she actually had her hair done with elegance and elan unlike those who looked like they couldn’t be bothered… yes, J. Biel I’m talking to you!
And further…. what was the deal with SJP and her jacked up breasts? Women of a certain age need to put those away (ditto Goldie Hawn) In fact I thought it was interesting that the young ladies had themselves appropriately covered up – it was the old broads that had them hanging out. Not classy, just cougarish.
Miley Cyrus gown made her look like the little lady you put on top of the toilet paper roll not yet in use. Penelope Cruz seemed to be wearing a vintage wedding gown made of viennese window curtains. Natalie Portman is so beautiful it almost doesn’t matter what she wears – she is so beautifully groomed. Evan Rachel Wood wins most improved.
My favourite was Tariji P. Henson. She looked absolutely gorgeous in white!
“MARISA” is the winner..her dress looked beautiful on the red carpet and on stage…photos don’t do justice to this STUNNING dress…
Miley for sure! She dressed fabulously considering her age, so I think it’s great!
natalie portman
Tie between Rachel Evan Woods and Amy Adams. They looked absolutely stunning. Loved S.J.P.’s dress, too bad it didn’t fit her breasts. (Too bad about the hair as well.)
Not in list, but also gorgeous: Marion Cotillard and Viola Davis.
Worst dressed in my opinion: Beyonce and Tilda Swinton (what is it with her??)
I think someone else has already mentioned this, but, surprised you didn’t feature Tina Fey. Some interesting outfits this year. No Bjork offerings though which is kind of a shame..
Best dressed for me is, hands down, Queen Latifah. She seems to be totally comfortable in her own skin. She’s my new heroine!
Honorable mention for me, must go to Meryl Streep. I thought she looked lovely, too. Very understated and elegant.
Did nobody like Jennifer Aniston’s dress? I thought she looked gorge!
I think Jennifer’s dress was overshadowed by the very uncomfortable look she had on her face while presenting… cause there was Brangelina sitting about 2 feet away grinning and smirking. I wonder why she put herself in that position. I would have politely declined and gone to the VF party instead.
MARISA is the best dressed for me. STUNNING.
