If you're anything like me, you loooove watching awards shows. Sometimes the fun part of it isn't so much watching people get the actual awards but actually watching some of the biggest people in Hollywood reacting to things on live TV.
You see, live TV allows for the perfectttt opportunity to see these celebs as close as we can get to being unscripted and real. That might mean seeing a genuine reaction to another celeb winning, or an I-thought-it'd-be-subtle-but-it-definitely-wasn't eye roll at the lame joke the host made. Sometimes it's messy, sometimes it's wholesome. It's basically the best!
Without further ado, here are 16 of the best celebrity reactions I caught from this year's Oscars:
1. Pedro Pascal's reaction to Jimmy Kimmel praising him for his work on The Mandalorian:

Nicole is all “thank fucking god” lol
4. Paul Mescal's "yikes" face after someone's speech got cut off:
5. When Ariana DeBose was so moved by Ke Huy Quan's Best Supporting Actor win, she started crying while presenting it:
6. This pure moment that was A$AP Rocky cheering for Rihanna:

10. Halle Berry's face after handing Michelle Yeoh her Best Actress Oscar, 21 years after receiving her own:
