The Oscars Most Ridiculous Red Carpet Quotes

Sure: the 2014 Oscars are all about celebrating cinema's finest achievements, but the pre-show is all about superficiality. The Academy Awards red carpet is the ultimate showcase for fashion and accessories obsessives and lovers of glamour in general. But with all that pomp, pouf, and circumstance, it's little surprise that every so often, a celebrity or host ends up saying something a little bit ridiculous. Sometimes funny, oftentimes head-scratchy, the best silliest moments of the evening often come from those lead-up moments to the big night. And so we've made it our civic duty to scour the red carpet shows for moments of levity and laughter before the oh-so-serious Oscars get underway.

We'll be updating this post as the carpet goes on so check back in and refresh often: You never know when a guffaw-induced moment will come to pass. After all, it's only a matter of time before Jennifer Lawrence gets aggressive about something food-related, George Clooney gets his prank on, or just how many times Jared Leto will confess his undying love for Lupita Nyong'o. It's the Oscars, folks. Anything goes when you've gathered a gaggle of this year's buzziest actorpeople, primped them within an inch of their lives, and tossed them onto a bright red carpet in the middle of Hollywood.
