Angelina Jolie’s Leg, an Oscar Breakout Star

Angelina Jolie’s Leg, an Oscar Breakout Star. The Academy Awards always produces its share of controversy.

The biggest topic of conversation has been Angelina Jolie's leg! Actress had a real leg up on the competition Sunday night at the 84th Annual Academy Awards.

Although stars like Meryl Streep and Jean Dujardin walked away with top honors, it was the leg-baring slit in Jolie's black Atelier Versace gown that kept people buzzing on Monday. Before the end of the telecast, there was already a Twitter handle dedicated to that part of the actress, called @AngiesRightLeg.

The feed has 14,100 followers and counting, and the anonymously penned posts include, "Look at meeee!!" and "You have to admit I'm one hell of a leg."

Calling Jolie's pose "kind of weird," Debi Mazar Tweeted during the show, "Why did Angelina do that 'leg thing?' [But] if I had legs like that, I might, I guess... :)."

Patricia Heaton even compared Jolie's stance to "Tebowing," Tweeting, "I was wondering why Angelina was standing like that - then the writers copied her."

The actress struck an incredible pose with the help of her black dress' slit both before and during the ceremony, but shortly after her second time, she was mimicked by Descendents winner Jim Rash while he was on stage. As the dean on Community, he's no stranger to flamboyant behavior, but his impulsive maneuver reportedly rubbed many, including Jolie, the wrong way. He defended his actions to US Weekly, calling the pose a "loving tribute". Whether it was or not, it still got a laugh, which may or may not have been at the expense of the actress.(source)
