12 Awesome Moments from the 2016 Oscars

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at CNU chapter.

1. When they made a guy dress up in a bear costume for The Revenant intro…

Why? I mean, I know why… but why?

2. When “Mad Max: Fury Road” won SIX (6) Academy Awards!

“Oh, what a day! What a lovely day!”

3. And then when Louis C.K. made a joke about it (start at 2:12)

Honestly, I wouldn’t mind if it was.

4. When THE STAR WARS DROIDS SHOWED UP!!!!

*sings the Star Wars theme at the top of my lungs*

5. Possibly even better – Jacob Tremblay’s reaction.

Same, Jacob, same.

6. When Leonardo DiCaprio reminded you what true love looks like…

Who can blame him… Trefoils are amazing.

8. When Jacob Tremblay (back at it again) didn’t let us forget about Chris Rock’s participation in one of the greatest comedies of all time.

NEVER FORGET.

9. Lady Gaga’s beautiful and heartfelt performance of “Til It Happens to You.”

No words necessary; this was stunning.

10. Kate Winslet’s face when Leo DiCaprio was accepting his Oscar.

Our hearts will go on…

11. Chrissy Teigen’s reaction to this unfortunate… moment…

I feel that. (For those who didn’t get the joke, may I direct you here).

12. And, finally, when Morgan Freeman just wanted a snack. 

Let him live.
