The Academy Awards finally returned to Los Angeles on Sunday night, and those tuning in for the ceremony weren’t disappointed. Hollywood’s biggest night brought many memorable moments our way, and we’re bringing you a few that were the talk of the town.

Opening Monologue

Everyone was thrilled when Conan O’Brien was announced as the next Oscar host, and his hilarious opening monologue lived up to the hype.

Timothée Chalamet’s Suit

The red carpet at the Oscars has given us some pretty memorable outfits – starting with Timothée Chalamet’s yellow Givenchy suit, which immediately drew comparisons to the block of butter.

Adam Sandler’s Cameo

Speaking of memorable outfits at the Oscars, Adam Sandler made a cameo in one of his classic casual outfits instead of following the dress code.

Anora’s Sweep

Anora swept the Oscars with five wins, and reactions were pretty mixed. Some celebrated its victory by sharing the most hilarious clips from the film, but its best original screenplay win has been heavily criticized.

“James Bond” Tribute

A musical tribute to James Bond left many Oscar viewers pretty confused. Some were impressed by the performance, especially Raye’s singing abilities and Margaret Qually’s dance number, while others found it unnecessary.

In Memoriam

The “In Memoriam” segment stirred a lot of commotion for omitting Shannen Doherty, Tony Todd, and Michelle Trachtenberg, and failing to properly honor David Lynch.
