Don't lie: you mute the insipid Oscar red carpet banter and check out the dresses.  There's nothing wrong with that.  The dresses are one of the finer points of the evening, and you get to see which actresses found the right mix between elegance and originality, and which actresses found what the designer's fever dream looked like in gown-form.  The people at Dish Network, when not trying to convince us that satellite dish signals can't be blown out by a gentle breeze, have put together a fun infographic about the dresses worn by the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress nominees from the past 22 years.

Hit the jump to check out the infographic.  The 84th Academy Awards air live this Sunday at 7pm EST on ABC.
