Being that it's known as "Hollywood's Biggest Night," one has come to expect a lot of things to go down at the Oscars. Each year viewers are left shocked, delighted, or outraged over some aspect of the ceremony, but that just adds to the exciting buzz of the entire process. Last night's 89th Annual Academy Awards were no different. We laughed, we cried, and we felt true secondhand embarrassment like we have never felt before (thanks Warren Beatty). Here are some of the best moments from the Oscars 2017.
1. Seth Rogen and Michael J. Fox were truly all of us when they did their own personal rendition of "The Schuyler Sisters" from Hamilton.
And Hamilton mastermind Lin-Manuel Miranda couldn't handle it.
2. Viola Davis finally got the Oscar that she so truly deserved.
After three nominations, the queen finally got her crown.
3. John Legend's performance of the "La La Land" medley was truly a work of art.
Truly, we should just redo the entire movie and have him sing everything.
4. The ladies from "Hidden Figures" brought out actual NASA legend Katherine Johnson, and it was magical.
5. Jimmy Kimmel made it rain snacks.
Some, like Taraji P. Henson, appreciated it more than others.
6. Auli'i Cravalho absolutely nailed her "How Far I'll Go" performance.
And also kept her cool when she got nailed in the head by a flag.
7. Jimmy Kimmel made an Oscar's Edition of Mean Tweets and it was everything we ever hoped for.
8. HARRY POTTER FINALLY WON AN OSCAR!
It took nearly two decades, but thanks to Colleen Atwood and her costume designs for "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," Harry Potter can FINALLY be called an Academy Award winning franchise.
9. Iranian director Asghar Farhadi made a powerful statement by sending Anousheh Ansari to read an acceptance speech on his behalf.
Farhadi announced his planned absence weeks ago to stand in solidarity with those affected by Trump's immigration ban, and he called for empathy in his moving acceptance speech for Best Foreign Language Film.
10. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway pulled the ultimate Steve Harvey and mistakenly announced "La La Land" as Best Picture winner instead of "Moonlight."
And it made all of us want to absolutely dissolve into the floor out of secondhand embarrassment.
However, despite the mix-ups, and Lin-Manuel Miranda being forced to throw away his shot at snagging an EGOT, the 2017 Academy Awards will truly go down as one of the biggest "Hollywood's biggest nights" in history. Viola Davis became the first black actress to ever win an Oscar, an Emmy, and a Tony, "Moonlight" ultimately got the accreditation it deserved, and we got to watch Michael J. Fox show up in the actual DeLorean, so really everyone wins. Until next year, Oscars, and as always, a big thank you to the Academy.
