Sunday night's Academy Awards
will be remembered as the night Angelina Jolie's leg became a star of
its own. Less than 24 hours after the ceremony, Angie's right gam is all
the rage.
For those who missed the Billy Crystal-hosted event, Jolie caused a ruckus by wearing a black dress with a thigh-high slit. Her right leg was on display whenever she walked or posed (which was often -- just check out this collection of photos from BuzzFeed).
The leg's big moment came when Jolie presented for best adapted
screenplay. Angelina stuck out her leg in a flaunty pose. The move was
then mocked by writer Jim Rash who, along with Alexander Payne and Nat Faxon, won an Oscar for his work on "The Descendants."
But Rash's joke was just the beginning. Angelina's right leg is now the meme that won't die. Its been digitally edited
onto the Statue of Liberty, and into scenes that include The Last
Supper, Darth Vader, Betty White, Abbey Road, Jeremy Lin, and, by the
time you read this, about a million other things. Check out this
collection of leg-bombing photos from Pinterest. We're still waiting for the one with the lamp from "A Christmas Story."
Fake photos are cool and everything, but as anybody who spends way
too much time on the Internet can tell you, you're nobody until you have
your own Twitter feed.
Angelina's right leg has one and it already has more than 20,000
followers. A sample tweet: "Left leg and I talked -- everything's cool.
Next Oscars, she gets the slit."
