Angelina Jolie on Oscar Pose Craze, Controversy: I Don't Even Pay Attention

Angelina Jolie's Oscar night pose got 10 times the attention of the Best Picture winner, but the actress says she doesn't even pay attention to that noise.

Despite spawning a hilarious photoshop trend (below, right) and even her own Twitter hashtag (#jolieing), she didn't even realize there was a media craze.

In other words, when you're this cool, you make the news. You don't read it.

The woman with the most revealing, famous right leg in the biz tells the Huffington Post, "I honestly didn't pay attention to it. You know what I mean?"

"I don't watch the shows and if I go online and see something about myself, I don't click on it. And the people I surround myself with don't really talk about that kind of stuff ... I did hear something, but I didn't pay any attention."

"It's as simple as being a woman, picking out a dress you like and having a good night, and not really thinking about anything else."

Yeah right. More people feel sorry for Kim Kardashian getting flour bombed than believe she posed like that naturally, then didn't revel in the attention.

The Oscar quick-change artists: The stars who went from red carpet to ready-to-party... but which outfits worked best?

She looked a dream in cream for the Oscars earlier in the evening - but Cameron Diaz squeezed deliciously into orange to party at the Vanity Fair bash following last night.

The actress's Gucci gown, which boasted a simple basque with a dramatic train, seemed to show her minimal curves to great effect, but the Bad Teacher star truly dazzled in a Victoria Beckham design at the Sunset Tower Hotel.

And she wasn't the only one who made a quick-change for the after-party, with Jennifer Lopez, Emma Stone and Irina Shayk among those who opted for a second gown to hob-nob late into the night.

OSCAR ANNOUNCES DOG TV & FILM AWARDS

Whether he gets that that Oscar nomination or not, it looks like Uggie the dog won't be going home empty pawed this award season.

Dog News Daily, the news service that covers Hollywood canines, has announced that they will be jumping into the busy trophy-giving fray by presenting the first ever Golden Collar Awards. The awards will honor the past year's Best Dog performances in five different show business categories, three in film and two in television. 

The big screen prizes will go to Best Dog in a Theatrical Film, Foreign Film, and Direct-to-DVD Film; the small screen awards will fete Best Dog in both a Reality Television Series and a scripted Television Series.

Uggie, the canine star of "The Artist," whose playing dead, face-pawing, brave galloping and muted barking helped bring a sense of old Hollywood sparkle to the black and white silent film, has received remarkable support from internet fans eager to see the Academy Awards acknowledge his on-screen prowess. 

He's even been sent on a goodwill tour, traveling to Britain this past week to make appearances on two of the nation's biggest shows, "BBC Breakfast" and "The Graham Norton Show."

In fact, Uggie is being held in such high esteem this year that he will be co-announcing the nominees with his "Artist" (human) co-star, Penelope Anne Miller, at a press conference in Hollywood on January 18th. The awards will be presented at the dog-friendly Hotel Palomar in Los Angeles on February 13th.

Cosmo, the dog from the Ewan McGregor/Christopher Plummer indie hit "Beginners," should also receive a nod in the Best Dog in a Theatrical Film category; in fact, perhaps both Uggie and Cosmo can be honored if "The Artist," with its French director and stars, is deemed a foreign enough film for this ceremony. Who else do you think deserves a nomination?
