Outside of that huge mishap, there were some monumental moments including Moonlight’s historic win for Best Picture. The indie drama became the first movie with an all-black cast to take the top prize, and it’s rising star, Mahershala Ali, became the first Muslim actor to win an Oscar, taking home Best Supporting Actor.

At 32, Damien Chazelle is the youngest filmmaker to win Best Director (for La La Land) and adored actresses Emma Stone and Viola Davis took home their first Oscars for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively.

That was what we saw on stage, but, as is the case with many awards ceremonies, there was as much action going on behind the scenes. And for that, we go to social media!

Oscar pals Brie Larson and Emma Stone

One of the most touching moments comes from Brie Larson. Last year’s Best Actress winner shared a snap on her Instagram of a teary-eyed embrace with this year’s winner, Emma Stone.

You know what’s better than winning? Watching your friends win. @theacademy

The Academy’s Instagram account shared a video of the encounter, as well.

Reese Witherspoon and Nick Kroll

Another former Best Actress winner, Reese Witherspoon is always a gold mine of candid BTS shots, like this one of her sharing an In-N-Out burger with Nick Kroll at the Vanity Fair post-Oscar party.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel

Unlike the Golden Globes, food isn’t offered at the Oscars (sorry, Jimmy Kimmel’s candy dump doesn’t count). Jessica Biel took care of her grumbling stomach following the ceremony, with help from husband, Justin Timberlake.
