By MTV Tr3s Staff

The 82nd Annual Academy Awards were held at Los Angeles' Kodak Theater on Sunday and while we've covered some winners and losers HERE, we've yet to discuss the most important part of the night...the FASHION!

Penelope Cruz looked lovely in a crimson sweetheart cut strapless and dropped waist.

Novio/Fiancee Javier Bardem sat beside Pene during the show, but didn't walk the carpet. Cameron Diaz sparkled in a champagne and crystal encrusted gown.

Jennifer Lopez was coined Best Dressed in this Giorgio Armani Prive pink incandescent dress with flowing drapery.

Antonio Banderas brought his wife Melanie Griffith to the awards...and his BEARD!

And Zoe Saldana...well...what can we say! What do you think of her Oscar ensemble: divine or disaster? Let us know below!

Don't let su belleza fool you, Zoe Saldana can kick butt too! The star of upcoming 3-D película 'Avatar' says she's inspired by actresses like Angelina Jolie and Jessica Biel, who truly embrace the action scenes in their movies.

"I have the itch lately. I don't know if it is after 'Avatar' or 'Star Trek' or because I've just finished an action film called 'The Losers', in which I did almost all my own stunts. I think it's so empowering and sexy. I love actresses like Angelina and Jessica. They're very agile, they incorporate their bodies with their characters and they pick women who are very strong. I really dig that."

In a recent interview with Esquire magazine, Zoe made sure to credit Salma Hayek, Halle Berry, and Jolie for opening the door to the action genre for mujeres.

"Before them, women were just sex pots or mothers. They were never the heroes who saved the day. They've enabled a generation of actresses to have a bigger variety of roles. If I wanted to be part of a story that is amazing and had a lot of sexual openness, that's fine. But I am so grateful to know that, like them, I can open different doors for women."

We certainly look forward to seeing Zoe Saldana show off some of her moves! [NewsBlaze]

La actriz is famous for her roles in Star Trek, Pirates of the Caribbean, Drumline, and Center Stage. When interviewed on the projects and roles she chooses, La Dominicana had this to say:

"I just love strong women that are in tune with their bodies—that don’t just use their bodies as sex tools. I’m very dominant—feisty. I’m not a man-hater, just a very proud woman."

Feisty? We LOVE that and we love her! She looks amazing! [iamflashy.com]

As we kicked back with our bowl of popcorn and watched the MTV Movie Awards over the weekend, we could not help but wonder - where on earth were all of the Latino celebrities?

Were they run over by evil paps? Lost their invitations in the mail? Or were they just too busy to attend? The preguntas have created a fountain of wonder. Fine. We will give credit where credit is due - Cameron Diaz was there to represent para la raza (right), but we can think of dozens of more celebs that could have strutted the red carpet. Even MTV's host Adrienne Bailon was missing in action! Where was she at?!

Here are our top three picks for Latino celebs that should have been at last night's MTV Movie Awards...

Example #1: Zoe Saldana. Not only is she the main female lead in the hit movie "Star Trek," but she also has potential to be voted in for next year's "Best Kiss" award. Getting it on in a space ship with Captain Kirk? Yeah she deserves a nomination!

Example #2: Michelle Rodriguez. The bad ass actress was killed off fairly quickly in the latest installment of "The Fast and the Furious," but let's give homegirl credit for her action scene with Vin Diesel in the beginning of the flick. Jumping from one moving vehicle to another is no easy task. She should get a free pass.

Example #3: Diego Luna & Gael Garcia Bernal. Starring as feuding hermanos in "Rudo y Cursi" may not have landed them a "Best Fight" nomination, but landing first place in Mexico should serve for some street credit no?

Do you think it's fair that Latinos were missing in action at the MTV Movie Awards? Tell us your thoughts!

We all know Trekky's are out of this world...

Zoe Saldana isn't blind about the power of the "Star Trek" generation. The Queens-born actress knew about the captivating universe way before landing the lead role as Uhura. The franchise has dominated the sci-fiction macrocosm for nearly three decades, but the starship is about to get a special polishing thanks to director J.J. Abrams. There is no doubt that he is a sucker for Trek, but Zoe also admits that her own mother is a super-Trekky. MTV News caught up with the Dominicana to find out all about it right below...

Be sure to catch "Star Trek" in theaters this weekend.

Paging space cadets...

"Star Trek" is back! Unless you have been trapped in a deep dark hole, you know that Zoe Zaldana was picked to play the leading lady Uhura. The Dominican star has been in the Hollywood game for nearly ten years, and is starring in four blockbusters this year alone! Go girl. MTV News recently spoke to Zoe about working in the modern adaptation of the 1960s classic director by "Lost" extraordinaire, J.J. Abrams, and what her favorite scene in the soon-to-be-hit-movie is. Check it right below!

Star Trek opens nationwide on May 8th.

Don't we always wonder what the opposite sex is thinking?

Askmen.com knew the deal and decided to prompt online users to vote on the Top 99 Women of 2009. Don't expect to see an around-the-way chick on this lista because this is all about Hollywood swagger! Eva Mendes' undeniable sex appeal and classic glamor owned the number one spot, but there were plenty of other Latinas that measured in as the most desirable beauties of the year (and no, J.Lo was not one of them).

Marking #15 was Jessica Alba. No doubt, her flawless figura and sultry sonrisa demands MILF attention.

Can't get enough? Check out the other ten Latinas that made the list below the jump!
