The ladies always get all the style attention at the Oscars, and it's about time the men got some recognition. Many people say it is easy for men to dress well at the Oscars — they should take a look at Adam Duritz's Mad-Hatter-esque getup from the 2005 awards or Seth Rogen's 2008 trip to a Bar Mitzvah the Oscars. If wearing a tux is that easy, there have been too many great actors getting it very, very wrong. That being said, here are the best dressed men from the past 8 Academy Awards.

2013: Seth MacFarlane

The public may have been divided on MacFarlane's jokes last year, but no one can deny that the host looked the part. With a perfectly tailored fit and charming notch-lapels, the "Family Guy" creator killed it in Gucci.

The award show was not the only place Day-Lewis won big last year. Everything about his Domenico Vacca tux was spot-on: the sharp midnight blue color, the perfectly sized shawl collar and bow tie and the perfectly subtle pocket square.

This should come as no surprise; JGL has been impeccably dressed on the red carpet for years, and the Oscars were no exception. His look is a great example of following the dress code with your own flair: this Gucci tux looks extra dapper with the narrower bow tie and JGL's signature HitRecord pin on the lapel.

If you were wondering how to pull off a three-piece tux, this is how to do it. Every piece fits Tatum's body like a glove and the end result is a timeless and classic look. The extra glossy shoes just seal the deal.

The double-breasted tux can easily look bulky and stuffy, but Hanks pulls off this Tom Ford ensemble with class. The key is great tailoring, and Hank's lapel pin and pocket square finish the look.

Just as he is the only man at the Oscars who makes his own outfit, Ford is also probably the only man daring (and stylish) enough to pull off the pocket square AND flower. He does it spectacularly.

It only makes sense that the actor who plays James Bond would look this dashing at the Oscars. Craig oozes masculinity in this sharp Dolce and Gabbana tux.

2006: George Clooney

The world would not be right if George Clooney was left out of a best-dressed-at-the-Oscars list. It's usually a safe bet that he will bring his A-game, and like Day-Lewis did last year, Clooney won both on the red-carpet and at the ceremony in 2006, when he was awarded Best Supporting Actor.
