Not a dry eye was in the house, as Miss Piggy — dressed by Zac Posen with shoes by Christian Louboutin, jewelry by Fred Leighton and hair by Kim Kimble — and long-time partner Kermit the Frog took to the red carpet at the 84th Annual Academy Awards held this evening where they will be presenting, marking the fifth appearance by the Muppets on the telecast. The Muppets was nominated and won for a ‘Best Song’ for ‘Man or Muppet’ written by Bret McKenzie.

The critically acclaimed and fan heralded The Muppets will be available as a Blu-ray/DVD Photos: Oscar Winners Kermit, Miss Piggy Arrive at 84th Annual Academy Awards combo pack, a 3-disc Wocka Wocka Value Pack Photos: Oscar Winners Kermit, Miss Piggy Arrive at 84th Annual Academy Awards which includes Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Download plus the downloadable soundtrack and single-disc DVD Photos: Oscar Winners Kermit, Miss Piggy Arrive at 84th Annual Academy Awards version beginning March 20, 2012.

On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world’s biggest Muppet fan, his brother Gary (Jason Segel) and Gary’s girlfriend Mary (Amy Adams) from Smalltown, USA, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets’ former stomping grounds. To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino tribute band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate.
