Oscar wrap-up: The pics you may have missed

Dustin Lance Black admires Madame Tussaud's fine craftsmanship (Pic: Getty)

The show may be over, but this year's Academy Awards is still fresh in our minds, thanks to the wins for Milk and the excitement of the ceremony.

We've all seen the official pics from the ceremony of the jubilant winners hoisting their awards and little Indian children running around willy-nilly, but there were also moments captured that made us scratch our heads.

For instance, we absolutely love the ageless Sophia Loren, but what was up with that dress?

Uh-oh ... I think she heard me. I'm suddenly very, very frightened.

As we perused the flood of Oscar pics that filled the internets after the ceremony, there were a few others that stood out, because of their singular ... uniqueness. These are snapshots you might not see in any official "Oscar Yearbook", but that we found enormously entertaining nonetheless.

Behold the real Academy Awards picture book (including a pic that might be slightly NSFW).

    Scary Sophia Loren

    Others who were on the afterelton.com live blog and chatting away, once Sophia Loren popped up on our TVs, almost everyone balked at the image. I forget most of the comments, but some included "HD TV warning!" "Oh wow, she had a bad tan job" and the like. Found it funny myself.

    Poor Sophia

    She's still trying to look like the glamorous star she was 40, 50 years ago, but ended up looking scary. Compare this to the exquisite Eva Marie Saint, who's 10 years older than Sophia, but looks spectacular--and is still a classy lady:

    Why were they even there?

    I didn't realize just any old has-been could get into the Oscars?  I thought you had to be somebody, or be nominated to be there??

    Has-been or not, I still heart Juliette Lewis :-)

    They weren't there

    These photos were taken at parties the night of the Oscars.

    The folks at "What NOT To Wear" are having a future show planning hay-day looking at these pictures, that is with the exception of DLB oogling over the pretty boy.....
