Congratulations, folks! The 85th annual Academy Awards are on the horizon! So to tide you over until Hollywood's biggest night, Moviefone is pulling out the big guns: The Worst Dressed List.

Because, hey, what's even better than stars dressed beautifully? Stars dressed dreadfully!

Voila, the worst dressed Oscar attendees ever. (For a glimpse at some of the best dressed, click HERE.)

  • Star Trek State Of Mind: Whoopi Goldberg

  • Do Not Sit Behind Me: Cher

    Donning a headdress that would put Cleopatra to shame, Cher made her mark on 1986's Academy Awards. Two years later, this fashion pariah would go on to win Best Actress Oscar for her role in "Moonstruck." (Julian Wasser, Liaison / Getty Images)

  • Periwinkle Blues: Kate Hudson

    While her sheep skin coat and crop top-wearing character in Cameron Crowe's "Almost Famous" won her the nomination, Kate Hudson would not have such fashion luck during the 2001 Oscars. (Getty Images)

  • Technicolor Nightmare: Faith Hill

    Rainbow, no matter who -- even a sunny country star like Faith Hill-- or when (2002) is a mistake. It doesn't matter if the pink, yellow, green and blue brings out your eyes. No.

  • Hybrid Horror: Geena Davis

    The 1992 Oscars were full of life lessons: Sometimes you can't have your cake and eat it, too.

  • Interview With A Vampire: Demi Moore

    Just remember, 1989 was way before "True Blood."

  • Oh, Boy: Celine Dion

    Still basking in the glow of her "Titanic" ballad, Celine Dion was thought to be unstoppable. I guess that made the 1999 Oscars her Waterloo.

  • Shrink Wrap Mishap: Hilary Swank

    Hilary Swank decided to go with pink tulle for the 2003 Academy Awards. The issue here: pink tulle.

  • Is That A Backpack?: Uma Thurman

    This 2004 Christian Lacroix getup was confusing to all -- especially to Uma Thurman who later confessed, "It was a beautiful dress, turns out I wore it wrong."

  • The Color Of Couch: Jennifer Connelly

    Jennifer Connelly took home the gold for her "Beautiful Mind" performance in 2002, but unfortunately, her "meditation on beige" ensemble was far from a winner.

  • Sheer Regret: Gwyneth Paltrow

    In 2002, even fashion fave Gwyneth Paltrow couldn't make this sheer number sing.

  • Surf's Up: Sarah Jessica Parker

    Sarah Jessica Parker broke a lot of SATC hearts back in 2010 with this meringue-colored mess. It's OK! You can still want to be Carrie!

  • Sawn's The Word: Bjork

    In the years since 2001, when Bjork hit the red carpet wearing a swan costume, this outfit has made the remarkable switch from unbelievably bad to just unbelievable. Well done, Bjork!

  • Queen Frostine: Kim Basinger

    1990 was a strange time. Don't remember? Perhaps Kim Basinger dressing as the woman from Candyland during the 62nd Academy Awards will jog your memory.

Whoopi was in great shape then. I think she was just trying to have fun with it. And I always liked the Swan dress for incorporating nature and art into a wearable dress design. I hope the dress designs for these events always keep the experimental and daring element. For those of us who don't get to see fashion shows, the awards shows are fun to see wearable art.

Who's the Stylelist babe wrapped in the orange bed sheet in the video? How can she critique style if she has no sense of it herself?

Why do people keep up the charade that Bjork's outfit was terrible? It was original and brilliant.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank members of the Academy, my agent, Sol Stein, my precious Mom and Dad, who is looking down from heaven. I would not be standing here if not for all the girls at CC&C. Special thanks to Donna, my hairdesser, who was always there for me. Deepest graditude goes to hubby, who put up with the late nights. Thanks, Honey, for having dinner ready. My love also goes to my daughter, Ashley. if you.are listening, Ash, please come home. Jocko is bad for you.
... I know I am going to forget someone! I also want to thank my co-stars, Lorrie, Sissy, and little Cookie ... it was an honor to work along side giants, I learned so much . I want to thank, my director, Fred, who got so much from all of us. Thanks goes to Skip Jones, who believed in this project and never said "it stinks." I also would like to thank my drama teacher, Miss Stankowski who saw something in me that others did not see. My best to Eileen, Norine and Noreen, Jean, Bobby and Jingles over at Fonton studios .... and least but not last or last but not in the least ... at last ... Yes, I also want to thank Etta James ... and lastly ... I want to thank the Lord who makes all things possible .

I usually like the way GP looks but that dress was one of the worst I've seen at an awards show.

Paltrow is a skinny wafe with NO BREAST and a BOYS figure.....And an ATTITUDE from hell, She is a DOG and looks horrible in anything!!!
02:24 PM on 02/24/2012
Easy, Mr. Tantrum ... She is a wonderful actress with a wide range of characters ... and a wonderful voice. She has classic looks ... lovely face ... graceful form ... You must elevate your tastes ... starting with your silly screen name . Miss Paltrow ... you could hold my hand on the red carpet anytime and I would be in heaven.

As far as I'm concerned, if Gwenyth Paltrow goes out without a ski mask, she is showing the world a little too much.
