Ben Stiller Visited from Pandora

Ben Stiller took on a new hue to present at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards. In honor of the Best Makeup category, the actor came dressed in the most outrageous fashion statement of the night, since Lady Gaga was not in attendance.

Speaking Na'vi, the native language of the fictional land Pandora, Stiller declared 'Star Trek''s makeup artists Barney Burman, Mindy Hall, and Joel Harlow the Oscar winners. The comedic actor joked that he should have worn Spock ears instead.

Stiller's authentic blue costume was complete with a wagging tale, controlled by none other than a fishing pole.

James Cameron's record-breaking 'Avatar' was not even nominated in that category, but do not despair, the film did not walk away empty handed. The hit movie won an armful of golden statues, for Cinematography, Visual Effects, and Art Direction.
