Jessica ChastainWow. Were there some amazing gowns on the Oscars red carpet last night or what? The celeb types really pulled out all the stops this year as far as choosing award-worthy looks goes, to the point where it was pretty tough to single out only a few dresses as being the best.

But by far, my absolute favorite look of the night was Jessica Chastain's shimmery Armani gown, which is so amazingly gorgeous, I really can't stop staring at her in it.

She was going for old Hollywood glamour -- and she absolutely nailed it. Seriously, this dress is nothing short of perfection.

Billy Crystal he isn't, but Seth MacFarlane did one heckuva job hosting the 85th Annual Oscars. One heckuva job testing the boundaries of just how far he could go without being run right off the stage inside the Dolby Theatre, that is. The Ted director's jokes ran the gamut from hilarious to risky to downright offensive.

MacFarlane has already stated that this was a one-shot deal; he'd never be hosting the Oscars again. And after jokes about domestic violence (in reference to Rihanna and Chris Brown) and a rather racist comment about actor Don Cheadle, he's probably right.

Here are some of his worst "jokes" of the night:

Alright. I'm going to go ahead and say it even though I know plenty of you are going to disagree with me. I'm not a fan of Halle Berry's Oscars dress. Like at all.

The minute she stepped onto the Oscars red carpet, Twitter and Facebook started buzzing about how amazeballs she looked. Wanna know what my initial reaction was when I saw her Versace gown?

"She looks like a Solid Gold dancer."

(Or pretty much anyone from the 80's.)

But then everyone kept talking about how great it was, so I gave her another chance when she came out on stage to announce the James Bond tribute thing.

Kristen Stewart sure knows how to get us talking. She didn't just show up to the 85th Annual Oscars without Robert Pattinson on her arm. (Whatever could his absence mean?!?) She showed up with crutches under her arms. That's right -- the actress must've experienced an injury rather recently, because she dramatically took the red carpet with crutches as her key accessory. 

Granted, she still looked incredible in her strapless, lacy, romantic Reem Acra gown that might be the most gorgeous thing she's ever worn. And she still had seriously glam, voluminous movie star hair. But crutches?! What the heck happened, KStew? Well, we've got a few ideas about the real explanation ...

There are now officially two types of people in America. The ones who thought Oscars host Seth MacFarlane singing about seeing the boobs of America's most talented actresses on film was hilarious. And the ones who felt really bad that they'd just been snarking on Anne Hathaway's nipples on the red carpet because they were totally offended by We Saw Your Boobs.

Ah yes, American hypocrisy at its best. One minute "Anne Hathaway Les Nipperables" was trending on Twitter as the world homed in on the pointy bits of the Les Miserables actress' Prada dress. The next the Twitterverse was exploding with complaints that the Family Guy creator's opening number was offensive to women.

If you're like me, you maybe don't have tons of free time and going to the movies is a rare experience, usually involving children, billions of dollars of concession stand snacks and a pounding headache. In other words, if you're like me, you have a vague idea as to what all the Oscar-nominated flicks this year are about, but you haven't actually seen most any of them. Don't sweat it, because Jared Neumark of Landline TV partnered up with Official Comedy to produce Kids Oscars, a montage of scenes from Academy Award-nominated movies re-enacted by kids ... who have no idea what the hell they're doing. Yay! Who needs to see the originals?

Don't feel too bad for your favorite actor or director on Sunday night if they don't bring home the Academy Award. Even though they might not leave the theater with a golden statue, they're definitely walking away with a golden goodie bag. Reportedly, the 2013 Oscar gift bags have $45,000 worth of swag inside ranging from airline tickets to spa treatments to condoms and cigarettes.

Here's what's in the "2013 Everyone Wins at the Oscars Nominee Gift Bag":

It feels like awards season has been underway for a long time, doesn't it? It's all been leading up to this weekend, and the 85th Academy Awards are happening on February 24. I'm looking forward to spending the evening parked in front of the TV with Twitter loaded on my phone -- because let's be honest, the snarky social media aspect of the Oscars is nearly as fun as the event itself.

There's so much to enjoy about the Oscars, from the fashion to the oh-no-they-didn't moments. It remains to be seen if this year's show will be a huge success or a widely-panned flop, but I'm crossing my fingers there are at least some standout moments in the multi-hour telecast. (Otherwise, that's a LOT of couch-sitting for little payoff.) Here are the top 10 things I can't wait to see on Sunday night:
