Tube Talk: Best Moments of the Oscars
Whether you tuned in on Sunday night or not, the 86th Academy Awards ceremony brought the best of Hollywood together for millions of viewers. Second-time host Ellen DeGeneres proved even more popular this time around, except maybe with Liza Minnelli (although their selfie would say otherwise). Many celebs showed their mastery of the selfie and the photobomb, proving they really are jacks-of-all-trades. I won’t give away too much but read Dartbeat’s round-up of the best moments of this year’s awards, so you can at least pretend you watched the whole 216-minute show.
Jennifer Lawrence started the night of strong with yet another fall. Apparently it’s becoming a tradition?
Benedict Cumberbatch photobombed the entirety of U2. ’Nuff said.
Later, he decided to pop in on Ellen’s selfie with “12 Years a Slave”star Chiwetel Ejiofor. Brad Pitt got in on the action, too.
Pharrell reminded everyone to be happy, which got Lupita Nyong’o on her feet and Meryl Streep shakin’ it. As if we needed another reason for her to be our hero.
Ellen became the first host to feed the audience and gave a $1000 tip to the delivery guy. Stars dished out money, and Nyong’o donated her lip balm to the cause. Let them eat pizza!
Matthew McConaughey (who won Best Actor, by the way) proved he hasn’t changed a bit: “Alright, alright, alright.” *wink*
Ellen gave Sandra Bullock and Leonardo DiCaprio a bit of a surprise. Meanwhile, Martin Scorsese wasn’t impressed and that woman above Ellen’s shoulder will never forget this moment.
All of your favorites got together in one photo, making it the most shared one of the night on social media. It’s okay, we’re jealous, too.
Steve McQueen literally jumped for joy after “12 Years a Slave” won for Best Picture. We’ve officially moved that up to spot #1 on our “must see” list.
We’ll leave you with this beautiful piece of photobomb artistry by Lupita. Step aside, JLaw, there’s a new golden girl in town. (Sidenote: your ombré hair is officially trendy again and you can thank Jared Leto)
