The Oscars are basically the Super Bowl of Hollywood and they are filled with all types of moments, controversial, political, heartwarming and straight up rock and roll. There were amazing moments during the red carpet, but here are the best moments of the ceremony so far.
When Roma didn’t win Best Picture
It wasn’t only Mexico who was expecting Roma to win the Oscar for Best Picture. The entire world expected it. After the great reviews it got from critics, and the global exposure given due to the screening by Netflix, it is the way it should’ve been. Anyway, congratulations Green Book.
When Rami Malek was proud of being the son of immigrants
“I am the son of immigrants from Egypt…part of my story is being written right now.”
When Lady Gaga cried for the gazillionth time (not ruining her makeup)
When Samuel L. Jackson went crazy on stage
Samuel L. Jackson’s announcement of BlacKkKlansman’s Best Adapted Screeplay Award, will make history for its extravagance.

When Javier Bardem Presented A Category In Spanish
For all the haters out there, Javier Bardem delivered a few words in Spanish. He celebrated the Academy’s cultural diversity while nodding a jab at Trump: “There are no borders or walls that can restrain ingenuity and talent. In any region of any country of any continent there are always great stories that move us. And tonight we celebrate the excellence and importance of the cultures and languages of different countries”. Well, said.
When Roma Won Best Foreign Language Film And Mexico City Went Crazy

Spike Lee dressing up in Purple as a tribute to Prince.
@deadlineBlacKkKlansman director, Spike Lee showed up totally pulling off a purple suit from head to toe, inspired by none other than Prince. He even sported Prince’s signature symbol and two knuckle rings that read “LOVE and “HATE” from his 1989 hit film, Do the Right Thing. “We gotta make a choice,” Lee said about both concepts. “Which one will it be?”

Regina King’s impassioned speech in favor of women’s rights
Regina King’s amazing Oscar win allowed her to use her microphone in favor of one of the most needed causes in the film industry: “I just want to say that I’m going to use my platform right now to say in the next two years, everything that I produce, I’m making a vow — it’s going to be tough — to make sure that everything that I produce that is 50% women.”
