(CBS) Angelina Jolie's leg-flashing was already the talk of the Oscars when she hit the stage in a black velvet Atelier Versace gown with a thigh-high slit.

But the actress probably didn't expect to get mocked after presenting the best original screenplay and best adapted screenplay awards.

Jolie's sexy pose, complete with a hand on her hip, definitely got noticed after the screenwriters for "The Descendants" won their award. Upon accepting the best adapted screenplay honor, Jim Rash, who also appears on the NBC TV series, "Community," overtly copied Jolie's stance and put his statuette on his hip.

"I just saw her pose and I thought, you know what, we have exactly the same legs and I wanted to show everyone what it meant," Rash said backstage. "It was a loving tribute. It was more like, oh, she's standing, great, I'm going to stand like that, too."

Jolie's leg got so much attention that by the end of the night a Twitter account was created in its honor: @AngiesRightLeg.

Tell us: What did you think about Jolie's look?

Angelina hasn't been getting attention lately. No adoptions or pregnacies, so I guess she needed to be in the spot light.

Why on earth would she do this??? Time to grow up especially if she would like to be taken seriously as a person,director,actress and human being. Is she being treated for anorexia? My advise is TONE IT DOWN!!! I never was a fan. George Clooney seems so real and honest by comparison.

I think she looked like a freakin' idiot. Like TamPine said, I couldn't figure out why she was standing like that.

I've never liked her, and I know that she used to do strange things (like French kiss her brother and wear a vial with blood around her neck), but I was kind of surprised she did that.

And she does look anorexic.

Angelina may have over posed-but really Cameron Diaz looked like 10 pounds of sausage in a 5 pound sack. UGG As well as Jennifer Lopez with her peek a boo boob. I think Angelina is the most beautiful woman in the movies today and its not "Revlon" as if she would wear that drugstore junk.

When I saw Angelina strike that totally bizarre cartoonish pose on stage I kept asking "Why is she standing like that, she looks ridiculous..." so when the writer mocked her, we all lost it laughing. I mean it's not even an attractive leg, it just pointed out how bony her knee is & how anorexic she looks! Look at Cameron Diaz, similiar builds, but she has muscle & flesh, she looks fantastic. What is wrong with Angelina? And why would she take that cartoonish stance?

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt stike me as Look at me people..Quite Honestly I don't see what everyone thinks is so wonderful about them. They both are very common to look at. And thanks to the magic of Revlon anyone can look good.. Brad Pitt VS: Johnny Depp Johnny you got Brad beat in my world.. 100%

debragreer2 - I agree, I will pick Johnny over Brad anyday. Brad WAS (notice I said was) not a bad looking man, but I NEVER thought he was that hot. Now Johnny, he's like fine wine, gets better with age. And I just can't stomach someone who has been with Angelina, she was married to Billy Bob, I put her in the category with Pam Anderson. Yuk!!!
