JLo presenting with Cameron Diaz at the Academy Awards, The star was handing over the Best Adapted Screenplay Award when she clearly re-adjusted her stance, bending a leg out to one side to reveal as much of the limb through the slit of her Versace gown as possible.

Angelina Jolie Leg, The 2012 Oscars was short on scandal and yet still long on body parts: Aside from Jennifer Lopez’s (perhaps) imaginary wardrobe malfunction, there was also the matter of Angelina Jolie’s right leg.

On the red carpet Jolie consistently hit her pose, making sure that her high-heeled limb was never lost in the voluminous black gown she wore — which was helped by the fact that the gown had a thigh-high slit.

The actress maintained her determination on stage as well, ensuring that she was showing plenty of leg while presenting during the Oscars show.

Her stance was so overt and obvious that it’s already spawned a Twitter account of its own, and it can be seen “legbombing” random photos on BuzzFeed.

Screenwriter and actor Jim Rash, part of the Oscar-winning writing team from “The Descendants,” which picked up the best adapted screenplay award, couldn’t help but mimic the leggy star’s stance when it was his turn to take the stage.”Honestly, as soon as I saw her pose like that, I was like, ‘I’m going to do that,'” Rash told Entertainment Weekly. “I knew (‘The Descendants’ director) Alexander (Payne) was going to take the reins, so I was like, ‘How can I make a moment?'”
