Watching the Oscars (AKA The Academy Awards) is one thing, but watching bite-sized clips of the show’s best moments on infinite loop without sound has to be a close second!
Seriously, it was Hollywood’s biggest night — so here are the biggest night’s best moments!
Benedict Cumberbatch fought the nerves with some liquid courage… from a flask! (If we could be any flask in the world, it would be this one, btw.)

Jack Black found his way into the opening and into our rock ‘n’ roll hearts. Where was the rest of Tenacious D tho??

Neil Patrick Harris did his best to give some seat-fillers their moment in the spotlight, including newcomer Steve Carell!

Oprah won! She won an Oscar! An Oscar made of Legos, which is pretty much the best kind of Oscar you can win!

Did you see Batman give us the guitar solo of our lives during the live performance of The Lego Movie‘s Everything Is Awesome?? It WAS awesome!

Channing Tatum didn’t just raise boners in his tux — he also raised a Lego Oscar above Steve Carell’s shoulder while NPH was talking on stage!

David Oyelowo decided that NPH’s brutal Annie joke wasn’t quiiiiiiiite his cup of Earl Grey tea!

NPH IN HIS UNDIES!!! Damn, he’s in GREAT shape!!

Jennifer Lopez almost had a heart attack when she tripped a little bit on her dress! Oh man, that moment of panic!!

Emma Stone might not have won Best Supporting Actress, but she already won that night — and had the Lego statue to prove it!

Patricia Arquette moved the audience and the world with her amazing words about women and equality.

Terrence Howard either got weirdly choked up during his speech about Whiplash… or his teleprompter went out. Either way it was AWKWARD.

John Travolta also made everyone cry, but for completely different, awkward, and unnerving reasons… so much face touching… RIP Idina Menzel‘s sleeping schedule.

Eddie Redmayne freaked out over his Best Actor win and won all our hearts while he was at it!

Sean Penn ended the presenting portion of the show on an awkward and wholly uncomfortable note while giving the Best Picture Award to Birdman. Thanks, Sean.

And who could forget about the performances?? We can’t!
Glory went and made every eye in the place soaking wet — especially David Oyelowo’s — and Common & John Legend were simply transcendent!


Adam Levine sizzled during his performance of Lost Stars from Begin Again.

Tim McGraw should be called Tim McRAW after totally slaying I’m Not Gonna Miss You from Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me.

Rita Ora roused us all with her performance of Grateful from Beyond the Lights!

Jennifer Hudson moved the world a little bit with her performance of I Can’t Let Go after the heartbreakingly beautiful In Memoriam segment.

Lady GaGa paid respects to The Sound of Music fifty years after it entered all our hearts.

What a WONDERFUL night!! Until next year, everyone!!
