(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.
