Forget the awards ceremony; the best Oscar action happened last night at E!'s coverage of the red carpet. Watch as Jennifer Garner and Laura Linney treat crazy Gary Busey like a deranged homeless man and Ryan Seacrest completely loses it.

Remember that guy? No? It's Jesse McCartney, who used to be popular with the tweens for a couple months back in 2004. He showed up at a Grammy swag event to pose for pictures along with the likes of Lisa Rinna and Debbie Matenopoulos. You know it's a hopping party when Debbie shows up to make things awkward.

We never thought we'd say this, but we missed Ryan Seacrest last night during E!'s red carpet coverage of the Screen Actors Guild awards (he called in sick). Between Giuliana Rancic and Debbie Matenopoulos, we were contemplating gouging our eyes out 20 minutes into the hooplah due to the extreme level of awkwardness these ladies achieved. Debbie forced poor Debra Messing to listen to her discuss her hair straightening regimen for what seemed like hours (Debra had an appropriate "What the hell?" look on her face the entire time), and then Giuliana treated us to a rant in which she criticized the media for making a circus out of Heath Ledger's death. Which is appropriate, since she works for one of those media outlets and all.

But our favorite moments had to be when Giuliana and Debbie would butcher the celebrities' names, often during an interview with said celebrity. Above, we present Julia Fischer, Jennifer Ferrera, and America's favorite couple: Brad and Angela.
