Monday February 23, 2009 12:13 PM

Though most of what is said during the Oscars is scripted or written on at cocktail napkin the night before, sometimes statements are said that you can only assume were shot from the hip and completely missed the mark. Either way some very outrageous things are often said during the Oscars. Here are our top 10 favorite quotes from the this years Academy Awards.

10. James Marsh – “I think it’s just a very beautiful fairy tale that happens to be true.” Huh?

9. Robert De Niro - “How did he do it? How for so many years did Sean Penn get all those jobs playing straight men?” Hey bud what’s your problem?

8. Kate Winslet – “And as someone who’s been nominated before, I can tell you winning is really a lot better than losing. Really a lot better.” Are you preparing for the role of Captain Obvious?

7. Penelope Cruz – “You have to keep climbing mountains, and sometimes there are things that it’s better not to listen to. In this room, how many accents are there here? We are all mixed together, more and more everyday, and that has to be represented in cinema. I’m happy that finally, that door seems to be more open.” We felt like I we were being told a story from a 95 year old man who keeps trailing off and forgot what he originally was talking about.

6. Jochen Alexander Freydank – “As long as you tell it from a personal angle and it has emotion in it, and it has a personal angle, we still need movies like this. It has to be an emotional story, and I think it was.” So are you saying your secret is Emotion and Personal Angle?

5. Anthony Dod Mantle – “My main brief was to learn how to run with the boys, run with them at a certain height and certain pace. And that was no small thing in the slums of Mumbai.” Please keep this man off Facebook!

4. Miley Cyrus – “[Angelina Jolie] is beautiful, and I love her, and she can like, adopt me if she wants to.” Sorry Miley, you’re too white.

3. Robert Pattinson – “I had to become a vampire to find the right woman.” That sucks.

2. Sean Penn – “I want to be very clear that I do know how hard I make it to appreciate me, often.” Well, you did have to put up with Madonna for a while.

1. Steve Martin – “Don’t fall in love with me.” Too late Steve, we already did.
