Best of the Oscars 2013 - The red carpet, the winners, the after-parties
The 85th Academy Awards have come and gone, and it's all over but for the critiquing: the fashion, the presenters, the snubs, and the telecast itself. The huge ratings for the ceremony marks this as one of the most buzzed-about ceremonies in a decade, and even if the entire 3 1/2 hour telecast wasn't your cup of tea, there was still a lot to like. This is the Oscars in GIFs, Photos and Videos, complete with some of the best moments from backstage and the infamous Oscar parties.
(And for a full, blow-by-blow recap of last night's huge ceremony, check out my live-blog from last night.)
