Blast from Oscars past: Remember these Oscars couples?

On the biggest night in Hollywood, the stars walking the red carpet have some big decisions to make: what to wear, what to say, and maybe the most crucial decision—who to bring.

Over the years, we’ve seen the nominees bring some interesting dates to the Oscars, ranging from long time loves to short-term flings to supportive family members. Take a look at these amazing photos of couples from red carpets past.

Remember they dated?
Celebrity relationships can come and go in the blink of an eye. Some of Hollywood's biggest stars have been on the awards circuit for so long, we've seen them red-carpet test a number of their relationships. Did you remember that these stars were an item?

It's all relative
On Oscar night, who better to have at your side than a beloved family member? But the relative-as-red-carpet-date can be a little tricky, walking that fine line between "awwww" and "ewww."
