Descendants Writer Jim Rash: I Wasn’t Mocking Angelina Jolie’s Leg Pose

Truth rating: 10

(GettyImages.com)

The Descendants screenwriter Jim Rash, who appeared to make fun of Angelina Jolie at the Academy Awards on Sunday, insisted afterwards that he was not mocking the actress.

Presenting the award for Best Adapted Screenplay, Jolie had posed on stage with her right leg jutted out through her dress’ thigh-high slit and her hand on her left hip.

When he accepted his Oscar, Rash mimicked Jolie’s stance.

But the writer explained backstage, “I had just seen her pose and thought it was bold and fun.”

“And you know what? We have exactly the same legs,” he quipped.

Rash, who also stars on NBC’s “Community,” went on to call his move “a loving tribute and nothing but.”

Added his co-winner Nat Faxon, “Angelina’s supremely hot. There’s no way to do anything but honor her.”

Do you think Rash was dissing Jolie?

    GC you should have checked this out first before you printed the other story and have all the haters out hating on her. She wasn’t ridiculous – She was having some fun.

    Go Ange.

  • Captdolores

    He has never dealt with the trolls and haters that spend 24/7 looking for reasons to trash Angie. So he will learn that no matter what he says it will be translated by the tabloids and haters as mocking Angie and not being respectful of her. People have no idea with what Angie has to put up with on a daily basis. He can scream from the roof top that he wasnt mocking her but they have blinders on and will spread whatever negative they can. Especially since they are bumbing because Anistons movie bombed big time.

  • She needs the munchies

    Angelina was cracking up her dampen self so what’s the big deal? Maybe she smoked some weed before the show to relax because I’ve never seen her laugh so hard …. And it was at herself. You know what that weed does to you…..

  • Guest99

    You are right. These haters will continue to hate no matter what even with the truth staring them right in their faces.

  • jinx

    Well, you gotta admit she went over the top with this whole posing thing. She kept on sticking her leg out far too far and one can see it in many pics. There was no need for that, she is a gorgeous woman and she looked fabulous in this classy dress. What for then?

  • Rayn

    She has a beautiful face and hair but her body is like a stick figure and it looked bad to see that skinny and bony leg sticking out. It was not classy at all she did not need to do that!

  • Mgsal

    That pose was very weird. His mocking was great and appropriate

  • Not a Hater Not a Fan

    Whether mocking or mimicking, who cares, it was funny. Her pose was bizarre and looked strange. Call me a hater, I don’t care. I don’t like her. She’s gross…and I don’t pretend she hasn’t been and hasn’t done what she’s done. I thought she used to be gorgeous, regardless of the person I think she is, but not any more. She looked great in Laura Croft, but now, she’s a stick figure.

    it did look odd. I noticed it straight away when pics of everyone on the red carpet started popping up – before they even got inside and the awards started. The only thing i liked about her pics was her smile.

    too bad theres too many haters in the world!

    Rash was having fun and Angelina was probably laughing her face off backstage. He obviously likes her or he wouldn’t have bothered. It’s the trolls and haters who are making too much out of nothing. People need to just STFU and move on. This is not a story.

  • Guest99

    The good thing about this is Angie doesn’t give a crap what you haters think. She did her thing and you know what she had fun and guess what everyone is talking about it. She’s laughing all the way.

    Hey you people/haters lighten up.

  • Anonymous

    I thought Rash was preparing to pee. LOL!

    Even if he did mock her, it was in good fun because her pose was ridiculous. It’s too bad he needs to do damage control because of something he did in the moment.

  • People are Full of Crap

    You loons are hilarious. If he liked her he wouldn’t have mocked her in front of a billion people. He’s walking it back now because I’m sure he got a stern talking to from her people and from The Clooney. It’s been covered by every media outlet. It’s launched a million tweets and hundreds of memes so it IS a story. And let’s get real, if Aniston had pulled off a leg move like this you would be talking about this every day for the next seven years.

  • People are Full of Crap

    The truth is that her posing was completely ridiculous. Even your Queen can have an off night. Accept it and friggin’ move on. The guy who mocked her got the biggest laugh of the night. From Angie’s peers, not haters, her peers were laughing at her.

    Jennifer’s legs……Check
    Angelina’s legs….Not so much

  • Webalyn

    Here we go again with the Jennifer/Angelina comparison. Cant we move on with our lives already and give this a rest. Cindi get a life!!

    Why would a “talking to” from George Clooney mean anything? Clooney doesn’t run Hollywood and Angelina doesn’t have any “people” and if she did have “people” I’m sure she wouldn’t sic them on a guy who was just having some fun. Angelina does have a sense of humor unlike all of those idiots like you who are spending their time posting and re-posting something so silly.

  • Lolxz

    sorry but she looked very stupid making that pose haha what she was trying to do with it,,and no im not an AJ hater..whatever,,

  • rojode

    Angelina made that ridiculous pose as an affront to Jennifer Aniston. It was as though she were saying “this is what Brad likes”–and I might add if he likes that trash instead of Jennifer Aniston he is in need of glasses. There was no need for that stupid pose. She once again proved that she has NO CLASS!!! Gwyneth Paltrow was beautiful!!! Another Brad cast off. He must be so proud!!!!

  • mark

    Yeah, Angelina Jolie is concerned about what you LOSERS think. STFU, LOSERS.

    are those her legs or is she riding a chicken ?

  • Msbethke

    Doesn’t anyone realize she set up the joke for him, that’s why she was laughing. DUH! It iS TV. Her whole night was rehearsed in advance. Talk about smoking,.. what are you people on exactly??

  • Abtwist

    I don’t understand why people say she was having fun. She looked ridiculous!!! Looking ridiculous in front of a billion people on a night like that, how is that fun? She USED to be gorgeous,
    now she is a sack of bones. She tried to mask that with a beautiful dress that looked big on her.
    Look at her arms… Even her face has lost its appeal. Her jaw is totally square, and all she has left is her lips, which she accentuates with a bright red lipstick.

  • Anonymous

    You are the one who is full of crap and the ultimate hateful loon.

    People who have the class, decency, and solid understanding to defend Jolie from her sick, perverse flamers with their diarrhea of the mouth by using something as petty as striking a pose on stage to degrade everything about her & recycle every tabloid angle are the ones who are truly rabid & insane. Actresses have worn far more provocative outfits than that. Everybody was trying too hard to liven up their presentation, nobody else was mocked. There have been far more outlandish things done on stage, crude jokes, and etc…yet something trivial as this is making people go nuts by provoking their unfounded hatred. There is nothing to foam at the mouth ever and the press is fabricating a controversy over nothing.

    Aniston has posed naked a bunch of times, gotten work done, make classless references to her breakup on stage, been caught in topless pics, as well as be clearly drunk on the People’s Choice Awards stage. NONE of that received a crazy backlash and was slid under the door. Aniston has also flaunted her legs
    inappropriately on Letterman and is constantly trying to pose as a sexy goddess when she isn’t & it is not even natural.

    Now you are making up lies about Clooney. People like you are the scum of the earth and it doesn’t take much to provoke your crazy fits of abuse & slander. If any other actress did that, nobody would make a big deal out of it.

    The dress was cut in a way where she felt more comfortable standing that way. There was nothing trashy, weird, or outrageous about but people are suddenly judgemental prudes about it to use that as an excuse to bash. It is this reaction that is trashy, corrupt, classless, bizarre, and outrageous.

    This cycle of deceit and media corruption clearly has had a deeper toxic impact on our society that anybody could have fathomed.

  • Anonymous

    You sick flamers who continue to operate as brainwashing bots with blind hatred based on misconceptions running through your veins..just get more depraved over time

    There was nothing ridiculous about it. Nobody treats her like a Queen and there was nothing off about it. Move on from the bastards who are her trashing her irrationally and insanely like they have been wrongly doing for more than six years because they were ignorant enough to believe a lie…never. This is immoral, wrong, and having a negative impact. I will always speak up against it and the worst people on earth should not dominate.

    Your sick, perverse hate and malice runs so deep..you can’t even make any accurate observations. Jim Rash did not get too many laughs. Even Alexander Payne was affronted by that douchey, unecessary move. Most of her peers were not laughing at her. Angelina got cheers and whistles from the crowd. I guess you were watching a different show.

    Billy Crystal and Emma Stone got the biggest laughs of the night.

    The hate, disrespect, and abuse she wrongly receives come from media corruption, social programming, groupthink, spin, and misportrayals that the media & his ex have spread throughout the world & industry. Words cannot describe how delusional, demented, deceitful, and disgusting you have become. Really, that is all it takes for scumbags to slander her? If it were anybody else, there would be a non-reaction.

    I really hope Aniston is proud of herself by being the true vapid manipulator who knows how to draw the worst out of the masses.

  • Anonymous

    There was nothing to be mocked there. Actresses strike poses on the carpet and she struck one on the stage due to the structure of her dress. Oh she didn’t stand “right”, let’s trash her like a bunch of juvenile morons who recycle every line from The Team Aniston & tabloid playbook.

    You are the gross hater, quit denying what you are. You wrongly turned against her when the press went on a rampage which turned into an epidemic that has infected our world deeply. She got with Pitt after his separation. Many actors deal with gossip and move on with co-stars. It usually does not cause character assassination and for undeserving celebs to be crucified over it with the press constantly targetting them with negative spin.

    You are pretending, because you operate on fallacies instead of reality. She is a great woman but you are blinded by garbage from the sleazy press & the ex’s underhanded PR campaign. There was nothing about her pose that warranted such a crazy, hateful reaction.
    For any other actress, it wouldn’t cause a reaction at all. You are so blinded by her hate, that you can’t recognize natural beauty anymore either. You have to worship actresses who manipulate you and get work done like Aniston.

  • Anonymous

    There was nothing ridiculous about it. It is ridiculous how people are responding to it.

    She was one of the most beauitful in the world and looked stunning. She is slender but that gets her harassed too. It is lame and pathetic that people have to attack her for weight. No wonder, actresses have body issues. Square? Her fact is oval and she is still very much a beauty. You know her haters are desperate, when they have to resort to convince themselves she is ugly. How screwed up is your biased and tunnel vision? This mindcontrol from media minions really has warped the senses.

    No, you worship actresses who get botox, nosejobs, and facelifts who are obsessed with their bodies by trying to act sexy when she was never a true beauty like Aniston.

    Clearly, most of you lack the character to recognize inner and outer beauty to be infected by yellow journalism instead.

  • Anonymous

    As an affront to Aniston? Her life does not revolve that hideous manipulative fraud who destroyed her reputation and turned the world against her using lies & planting misinformation.

    Jennifer is the most classless, calculating, and conniving piece of trash there is, who managed to have the press in the palm of her hand because she supported their spin and deceit. There was nothing stupid about her pose, it is stupid and beyond crazy what triggers her flamers. It really doesn’t take much. You are a reflection of what kind of monster you support as well as the twisted nature of the media.

    Brad wanted a woman of character & substance who was genuine. He wanted a woman who loved him for him, not for his status or power. He wanted a woman who wanted a big family and shared his admirable goals. He wanted an extraordinary woman with depth and true beauty. He moved on with that woman after he mutually ended that superificial marriage with this worst mistake, despite any of the stupid backlash he received after the public chose to turn against one of the good guys in Hollywood when these same masses gave other less, deserving celebs the benefit of the doubt when they had to deal with gossip.

    Angelina has far more natural beauty than Aniston will ever have in her life. Angelina is also aging naturally unlike most actresses. Yeah, if I obsessed about my body, got liposuction, and enhancements…I could flaunt my pseudo-shapely figure like Aniston has done dozens of times. I was more affronted by her constant nude podes and how Aniston showed off her thighs on Letterman as well as show her nipples by icing them and constantly showing her cleavage. Aniston appearing drunk at the PCA’s as well as her smug poses as if she is a raving beauty when she never was..hardly gets a reaction.

    Gwyneth was not a cast-off. She cheated on Pitt with Ethan Hawke. Brad had to deal with women always hurting him. Even I respect Gwyneth more than I respect Aniston because Gwyneth owned up to why that relationship fell apart and never disrespected Pitt by trying to destroy him or manipulate people to hate him over a false viewpoint like Aniston. Aniston engaged in the most corrupt betrayal of all. Aniston was always below Pitt’s league but is the master of illusion, deception, manipulation, and false image-building. Aniston’s entire appeal is artificial and as phony as it gets. Other actresses are phony but it is not at the expense of somebody else.

    I will take Angelina’s slender legs anytime. She looked great.

    Angelina has been off drugs for years.

    Wow, the woman can’t even laugh or smile without people spreading sick insults. Her haters are just out of their minds.

  • FrankieJustice

    The guy who seemingly mocked her has also marked her “AN EXTREME BEAUTY”. Sorry that pisses you off!
    Indeed anyone of us can have an off night…but she sure did seem like she was having fun doing it.
    And at th end of night she leaves with the man that loves her and she loves him.
    They get to go home their six beautiful children.
    Then plan which country they can help next with Millions.
    Not To Bad.
    Try and Accept it and you “friggin’ move on”

    I KNOW…THEY TAKE HER BEAUTY THAT SERIOUSLY. HATERS SO THREATEN THAT SHE CAN’T KID AROUND…Accidently or not.

    YOU are quite pathedic and spend a whole lot of time on someone you could care less about. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO JEALOUS!
    And dont deny it it is so obvious or you would not be posting.

  • MikePersonalTrainer

    Jennifer Aniston’s legs average at best…see leg’s like her’s all day.

    Angelina Jolie’s leg’s are quite thin…she did start out as a runway model..so no surprise.

    But if we are gonna do some comparison’s…Well let’s Do It

    NO BETTER LEGS HAVE I SEEN THAN THOSE OF EDYTA SLIWINSKY in the celebrity realm.

  • Va

    Sounds like “Anonymous” is taking this way too personal and automatically bashing Aniston when no one was really even talking about her. Is that you Angie?

  • JoannRichards

    Mocking anyone is not ever appropriate.

    No One gives a S*#T about Jen Aniston.

    In one swift silly lil move everyone forget’s about the Oscar’s and everyone else.

    Brilliant…I Love It!

    I am a major fan of Ang and agree wholeheartedly with you for most of your statement. However you are a bit hypocritical, to quote you
    “with blind hatred based on misconceptions” then you finish up with “I really hope Aniston is proud of herself by being the true vapid manipulator who knows how to draw the worst out of the masses” Seems like a lot of Blind Hatred there….dont tell me that you think that everything the media says about ang and brad is a lie but believe everything it says about Jen to be true?????? You are just as blinded as the people hating on Ang.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=685264999 Bec Brockie

    AGAIN …I am a Ang FAN…LOVE HER. You are going so over the top trying to defend her when clearly this is just a normal hollywood “thing” this is what the media does…it is what they have always done and your posting on here is not going to change anyones mind, especially with an attitude like that. Im sure if people were blasting Jen you would be on here acting just like all these Ang haters. Stop being so hypocritical…Realise that this is “normal” for hollywood and that Ang more than likely does not give a crap so why the heck should you. Stop feeding the media trolls by getting up in arms about it and go find something else to do.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=685264999 Bec Brockie

    Totally agree with you there. Although Ang would not even take this as seriously as Anonymous is. It would be just another tabloid story to her but to anonymous apparently this means EVERYTHING lol. Careful Anonymous they may start to worry that you are a stalker…….

  • Fun Girl

    She earns millions so dealing with crap on a daily basis is a small trade-off. If she doesn’t want the crap, then get the hell out of showbusiness. It is as simple as that.

  • Bella

    Looks like she heard there’s a sequel to “Mrs & Mrs. Smith”, I guess she’s now audition for the role. ( I don’t think she’ll get a callback.)

  • JumpedTheGun

    Yeah..but all fairness The Versace Dress has quite a Bustle on left side…so it makes a pose like hers look over exaggerated..this generation is just not used to seeing Bustle’s on dresses…But do check them out online and you will see..maybe we have all jumped the gun on this one.

  • JumpedTheGun

    I wish she would gain15 lbs. cause it looks great on her when she does.

  • DennyR

    Who gives a SH#T at least it wasn’t covered in cellulite and fat.
