Loads of people (and by people we mean out-of-touch teens) took to the Twittersphere after seeing the opening of the 2012 Oscars with utter confusion as to who the iconic actor is.

The 2012 Oscars is that one night a year where no one wants to be on the worst dressed list. Despite all their efforts, however, there’s always those handful of stars that think they’re workin’ it when really Tim Gunn is rolling his eyes in the background.

Party animals love New Year’s Eve because they get to drink themselves silly, throw glitter everywhere and dress up like babies without being thought of as creepers (in most cases, anyway). Rather than welcoming in 2012 with pictures of sloppy drunks in diapers, however, let’s instead focus on actual babies. They’re much cuter and don’t scream “Party!” every few minutes.
