"I don&amp;#x27;t know about you, but the Oscars are kind of hard for me to watch. From the too-personal &amp;quot;So, like, you&amp;#x27;ve gotta be dating a lot, right?&amp;quot; queries Ryan Seacrest throws out to the confused red carpet crowd to the skin crawlingly uncomfortable shots (Jolie to Aniston, Aniston to Pitt, Pitt to Mayer), there are so many awkward moments that sometimes while watching the awards show, I have to switch to the Food Network for a few stress-free seconds. (Bless you Emeril!) And then there&amp;#x27;s the added pressure of having to decide who should make the best dressed list. (Speaking of, Tracey and I had a very intense gchat discussion about how to narrow down the night&amp;#x27;s gaggle of girls into one 10-person Oscars best dressed list --think we got everyone good?) But I might be the only one to get freaked out by an entertainment awards ceremony, I know. (Although if you suffer from a bad case of empathic embarrassment too, please, please step forward now.) Chances are, most of you squared away your best dressed list long before E! ended its pre-show, are unmoved by the cool Jolie stare and are ready for a bigger Oscars challenge like this one: We all know these A-listers looked, to quote Cypress Hill, insane in the membrane (in a good way) this year, but how did their &amp;#x27;09 outfits stack up to the gowns they wore last year? At the &amp;#x27;08 Oscars, Anne Hathaway donned a red Marchesa gown (left). At the 2009 Academy Awards, she opted for a glittery Armani Prive beaded column dress (right). Which of Anne Hathway&amp;#x27;s Oscar dresses do you like best? ( surveys) Marion Cotillard wore Jean-Paul Gaultier gown (left) in 2008, when she scored her Best Actress Award. This year, she opted for a dramatic Dior Haute Couture number (right). Which of Marion Cotillard&amp;#x27;s Oscar gowns do you like best? ( polls) Last year, Heidi Klum opted for a scarlet Dior Couture gown (left), while Roland Mouret whipped up this edgy red dress (right) for the &amp;#x27;09 festivities. Which of Heidi Klum&amp;#x27;s red Oscar dresses do you like best? ( surveys) The pose is the same, but the dress is new: Penelope Cruz went for a black feather-trimmed Chanel gown at the &amp;#x27;08 awards, but when she took home the Oscar Award for Best Supporting Actress tonight, she was wearing a vintage Balmain dress. Which of Penelope Cruz&amp;#x27;s Oscar gowns do you like best? ( surveys) Amy Adams&amp;#x27; emerald green Proenza Schouler gown from last year and crimson Carolina Herrera dress from this year&amp;#x27;s awards share the same sweetheart neckline, so it&amp;#x27;s especially hard to choose your fave, no? Which of Amy Adams&amp;#x27; Oscar dresses do you like best? ( surveys) Have a favorite from all these 2008/2009 Oscar dresses? Does it seem like, when looking at these lovely ladies, style prowess gets better with time? Or do last year&amp;#x27;s looks take home the award? Now that you&amp;#x27;ve weighed in here, vote on: * Who should make this year&amp;#x27;s Oscars best dressed list? * Who had the best updo of the night? * Who had the prettiest makeup look? And while you&amp;#x27;re still in the fashion flash back mode, check out these recent best dressed lists: The 2009 Grammy Awards (psst...our vote went to Jennifer Hudson) The 2008 Emmy Awards, when Heidi Klum totally shut it down And let&amp;#x27;s not forget the Golden Globes this year, where strapless dresses ruled the red carpet. (I still heart Maggie G&amp;#x27;s leopard dress, don&amp;#x27;t you?) Photos: Getty and Wire Images This post has been updated. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
