Her leg-out pose proved a lightning rod for almost-instant parody. The recipients of the best adapted screenplay award, which Jolie presented, mimicked her pose as they accepted their Oscar.
One fast-fingered fan even started a Twitter feed in tribute to Angelinas well-displayed right leg. Called (go figure) Angelina Jolies Leg, the account has attracted more than 27,000 followers since it was opened on Sunday evening.
The anonymous poster tweeted messages like Check out this leg over here! and Behold: its me!! during the Oscars broadcast.
Then it was time for the Photoshop pranksters to do their work, adding the leg onto other Oscar attendees, from Glenn Close to Christopher Plummer. It goes surprisingly well with a tux, no?
