On Sunday night, the Academy Awards featured some excellent live performances, hilarious hosting bits, inspirational fashion, and a couple wins that actually brought some joy to the room. It was one of the best Oscar shows in awhile, though nothing will every beat Moonlight winning over LaLa Land at the absolute last second. But even a good show has moments where things can get weird, especially when it’s all broadcast live.
The Internet’s avid eyes were watching every second, recording and screenshotting anything even slightly amiss so they could share them. If you’re ever in a seat at an awards show, remember that you’re part of the performance. That doesn’t seem to be something Billie Eilish has yet picked up. Here are the top awkward moments of the Academy Awards: some are cute and some might lead to better media training for a few celebrities.
1. Bong Joon-Ho got caught being in love with his statuette

2. Margot Robbie becoming the physical manifestation of everyone’s feelings towards Timothee Chalamet
Still not over the fact that there wasn’t a single #Oscars nom for this 4-second clip of @RealChalamet photobombing @MargotRobbie because it’s “not a movie” and “that doesn’t even make sense.” pic.twitter.com/OOLRrxYhYO

4. Janelle Monae has a wardrobe malfunction
Can we just have a moment for @JanelleMonae making a completely unintentional political statement by buttoning up her shirt (the button by the boob always betrays us) facing the audience instead of turning away? She made it a total MOMENT, I’m in awe. pic.twitter.com/MoYZz3yQgz

6. Utkarsh Ambudkar’s music cue came in too early for his rap…but probably no one noticed, because it was so good
