Now we obviously love a posey posey papped red carpet picture, which lets you examine the Oscar Awards couture from every angle. But you can’t beat a red carpet candid shot, right

Jennifer Aniston was on the red carpet arm in arm with hubby to be Justin and she played the dutiful fiancée, adjusting his bow tie. How adorable! Jen An might have been glued to Justin, but she also squeezed in some time to speak to Adele on the red carpet.

Bradley Cooper gave Jennifer Lawrence a spin around on the red carpet, whipping out some of those Oscar winning Silver Linings dance moves. Oh how we wish they were together in real life. Speaking of Bradz, he walked down the red carpet with his mum Gloria and he seemed rather impressed with her red carpet etiquette as he commented: ‘You’re really holding it together! She’s doing well. She’s a pro.’ N’awww.

The red carpet was awash with A List BFFs as Amanda Seyfried chatted with Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Lawrence and Jennifer Garner had a red carpet giggle and Sandra Bullock had a quick catch up with Ben Affleck. Little Quvenzhane Wallis was getting the attention of all the A Listers, including Jessica Chastain and Halle Berry.
