LOS ANGELES, CA-This past Sunday night, celebrities gathered for the 85th annual AcademyAwards.  The stars looked stunning as they walked the red carpet on the biggest night for movies.  Host, Seth Macfarlane kicked off the night with singing, dancing and a visit from the future.  As Star Trek’s Captain Kirk (played By William Shatner) warned Macfarlane that headlines tomorrow would read “Worst Oscars Host Ever,” Macfarlane was shown the videos of his imminent mistakes/downfall so in order to balance things out he brought on a few sophisticated dance numbers which included Charlize Theron, Channing Tatum, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Daniel Radcliffe.  Presenters added to the enjoyable night with some witty banter of their own, as well as a visit from Ted.   The night was accompanied by brilliant performances from the phenomenal Adele and from Oscar winning musicals; Catharine Zeta-Jones (Chicago), Jennifer Hudson (Dream Girls) and the Cast of Les Misérable.   As the night went on, here is how the award winners played out:
