The Oscars were held on Sunday night and in case you missed it, here are a few noteworthy events.
1. John Travolta introduced singer, Idina Menzel and butchered her name by calling her, "The wickedly talented, Adele Dazeem." What? You can now "Travoltify" your name here.
2. With the help of Bradley Cooper (and a whole slew of A-list actors), Ellen Degeneres beat out the US President's record for retweets of a picture by posting this to twitter.
3. Ellen also ordered pizzas for the audience (3, to be exact) and had them delivered by an honest-to-goodness pizza guy from Big Mama's and Papa's Pizzeria.
But now for the best part: The Red Carpet!
The theme of the night seemed to be true glamour. There were beautiful muted gowns dripping with diamonds and statement necklaces. There were a lot of similar looks, so we played a game of who wore it better below:

Earlier this year we ran a contest to win a free makeover called New Year, New You. After reading through numerous nominations, we chose three women whose stories truly tugged at our hearts.
There were each given a head-to-toe makeover with hair by Fruition Salon, makeup by Katie Russo Beauty and a new outfit provided by Muse Boutique and Leona by Lauren Leonard.
