The Academy Awards are a celebration of cinematic excellence. But we all know the real reason we tune in every year is to see celebrities play their most unhinged roles: themselves.
It usually leads to chaos. The Oscars are where the producer of La La Land had to announce his own loss during his acceptance speech. They’re where John Travolta blessed us with the WICK-edly talented Adele Dazeem. And of course, they’re where Will Smith smacked the absolute hell out of Chris Rock.

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo miss their categories because they’re stuck in the bathroom, trying to help each other reach the paper towel dispenser.
Demi Moore marries Timothée Chalamet live onstage. #Demothée breaks the Internet. Kylie Jenner is too busy playing Royal Match to notice.
Meryl Streep sets the curtains on fire and everyone just lets her.
