This Sunday marked the 92nd Academy Awards, and it was quite the night. Parasite became the first non-English language film in Oscar history to win Best Picture, with it also scooping up Best International Feature Film, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Director for Bong Joon-ho. Then, of course, there were all the usual gaffes; Jeff Bezos got roasted by Chris Rock and Steve Martin, Joaquin Phoenix called for "fighting against injustice", oh and Eminem made a surprise appearance.
Eminem performed his hit single, Lose Yourself, to the surprise of everyone, not least Salma Hayek, who he had a rather awkward run-in with afterwards.
Hayek later took to Instagram to recount the incident: "These pictures it might look like @Eminem and I are best friends, but what really happened is as he was walking offstage and I was getting ready to walk onstage, I was so shocked to see him that I spilled water all over him."
"If you examine our faces, I look mortified and he looks terrified of me- As I was trying to wipe it off I impulsively hugged him and I said “Nice to meet you Eminem- I’m a HUGE fan!” because I AM! But I was so disappointed that I made such a fool of myself in front of him..."
In related news, Salma Hayek and Renée Zellweger are clearly the kind of friends that have no qualms when it comes to sharing clothing.
While presenting Zellweger with the Best Actress Award at the National Board of Review Awards Gala in New York last month, Hayek shared an amusing anecdote about the time when the actress offered her a helping hand after a wardrobe malfunction.
Both actresses were nominated for Best Actress at the 2003 Academy Awards for their performances in Frida and Chicago, respectively.

And the Bridget Jones's Diary actress ended up loaning Hayek a dress from her personal collection after Hayek's gown ripped apart at the seams.
"It was annoying because at some point I would go, I wish she wins, she’s so amazing," the 53-year-old recalled, while presenting Zellweger the award for her performance as Judy Garland in Judy.
"And even the night before when my big butt exploded the seams of my Oscar dress and I had no dress for the Oscars, she ended up giving me one of her dresses that, thank God, was wide here [gestured around her butt] and stetchy here [gestured around her breasts]. That’s what I wore for that night," she continued, per People magazine.
From Keanu Reeves bringing his mom as his date to Eminem shocking the world to perform 'Lose Yourself' 17 years after winning the Oscar for 'Best Original Song', last night's 92nd annual Academy Awards was full of spectacular moments.
And one film that made history last night was Parasite, which became the very first foreign-language movie to win the top prize of Best Picture. And if that wasn't enough, the movie also scooped the most Oscars of the evening with four - also taking home Best Director (Bong Joon-ho), Best Original Screenplay, and Best International Feature Film.
However, during the closing moments of the show, the producers of Parasite understandably wanted to say a few words about their historic win. But after one of the producers had spoken and another approached the microphone, the lights were turned down, the mic was cut, and Jane Fonda took her place to thank everybody for coming and end the show.
Leading the charge on the front row, Hanks, along with Margot Robbie and Charlize Theron, started chanting "UP!" and waving their arms. Soon after, the entire room was screaming for the Parasite team to be giving the time they deserved.
Of course, when Tom Hanks tells you to turn the lights on, you turn the light on, and the Parasite team were able to properly communicate their joy and thanks to the world.
Naturally - just like with anything Tom Hanks does - people quickly took to Twitter to praise his efforts, along with the rest of the front row:
In the acceptance speech, Parasite producer Kwak Sin-ae said through an interpreter: "I'm speechless. We never imagined any of this to happen. We are so happy. I feel like a very opportune moment in history is happening right now. I express my deepest gratitude to the members of the Academy for making this decision."

Last night's 92nd annual Academy Awards featured many iconic moments that had viewers reacting in a number of different ways.
Millennials couldn't contain their joy when Eminem took to the stage to perform the 2003 Oscar-winning 'Best Original Song' Lose Yourself. People cheered when Tom Hanks rallied the room to get the lights put back on for the cast and crew of Parasite. And, for the most part, people laughed along as Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig presented the awards for Best Costume Design and Best Production Design.
Prior to presenting the respective awards, the Bridesmaids stars performed skits in which they pretended to be annoyed at their role in the awards show, before going on to deliver an unexpected musical medley.
And it goes without saying that Eilish's brief reaction on camera was immediately picked up by the millions of viewers, and now the 'Bad Guy' singer has become the unofficial meme of the entire ceremony. Check out some of our favorites below:
But despite Eilish's baffled reaction, there are many viewers who are now calling for The Academy to let Rudolph and Wiig host next year's awards show:

Salma Hayek and Renée Zellweger are clearly the kind of friends that have no qualms when it comes to sharing clothing.
While presenting Zellweger with the Best Actress Award at the National Board of Review Awards Gala in New York on Wednesday, Hayek shared an amusing anecdote about the time when the actress leant her a helping hand after a wardrobe malfunction.
Both actresses were nominated for Best Actress at the 2003 Academy Awards for their performances in Frida and Chicago, respectively.

"I really wish that they would have a tie so that we could both win but we both lost," the From Dusk till Dawn actress added.

Hayek and Zellweger ultimately lost out on the honour to Nicole Kidman, who won for her role in The Hours.
Zellweger also received a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama Motion Picture on Sunday for Judy. While accepting her fourth Golden Globe win, she said:
"Wow, I really am up here. Well, hi everybody, it’s nice to see you. Y’all look pretty good 17 years later. Thank you to the [Hollywood Foreign Press Association] for inviting me back to the family reunion, especially with all these extraordinary ladies this year. I mean it; your work moves me. It moves me. And I’ve been cheering for y’all from theater seats for a long time."
Cast your mind back 17 years - it's 2003, and 'that rapper your parents told you not to listen to' is receiving the Academy Award for Best Original Song for that track that's in 'that movie your parents also wouldn't let you watch'.
Rapper Eminem - real name Marshall Mathers - shocked the world in 2003 by winning an Oscar for his track 'Lose Yourself', making it the first hip hop song ever to receive the prestigious award. The song featured in the 2002 motion picture 8 Mile.
Now, nearly two decades later, Eminem has shocked the world once more, as he took to the stage to perform the track once more.
Check out the moment below. Everybody sing it with me: "His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy..."
8 Mile told the story of an aspiring rapper with a complicated life, as he battled to break through the physical and psychological barrier of the '8 Mile Road' - a highway between the predominantly black city of Detroit and the largely white suburban communities to the north.
Relive the moment 'Lose Yourself' won at the 2003 Academy Awards below:
'Lose Yourself' also won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Solo Performance.

Last year's Academy Awards may have been the night where Jessica Chastain and Ariana DeBose won big, but it was also the night where another big award winner found himself in hot water.
Yes, Will Smith may have ended his night winning the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as Richard Williams in King Richard, but his big win was marred by his actions earlier in the night.
In case you're the one person on Earth who missed it, Smith took to the stage to slap comedian Chris Rock around the face, after the latter had made a joke about Smith's wife prior to presenting an award.
"Jada, I love ya! G.I. Jane 2 - can't wait to see it," Rock quipped, referencing Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head (a choice she had made following a battle with alopecia).
Check out the infamous moment below:
Despite apologizing to both Rock and the Academy, Smith was subsequently banned from the prestigious event for 10 years.
And although you may think the Oscars would want to put Smith in the rearview mirror and have you forget all about it, it actually took Sunday night's host Jimmy Kimmel less than 15 minutes to reference Smith's infamous slap.
First, Kimmel joked about there being five Irish stars nominated on Sunday night, saying: "Which means the odds of another fight on stage just went way up."
Kimmel later added in his opening monologue: "We want you to have fun, we want you to be safe and we want me to be safe.
"If any person in this theater commits an act of violence, you will be awarded best actor and be allowed to give a 19-minute speech."
Check out Kimmel's speech below:
He continued: "But seriously, the Academy has a crisis team in place. If anything unpredictable or violent happens during the ceremony, just do what you did last year... Nothing. Sit there and do absolutely nothing. Maybe even give the assailant a hug."
He then said that anybody trying to rush him would have to go through stars like Michael B Jordan, Michelle Yeoh, and Pedro Pascal.
Over on Twitter, people branded the monologue "savage".
And others just didn't want to see it:
Something tells me this won't be the last time Smith is referenced tonight.
