Oscars 2014: Favourite Moments

Highlights from this year's awards, hosted by Ellen DeGeneres

There were some pretty memorable moments from Sunday's Oscars ceremony where 12 Years A Slave won Best Picture and there was a rather popular selfie posted on Twitter too.

What did you make of it this year?
I have picked my favourite moments from the awards.


1. Benedict Cumberbatch's Epic Photobomb on U2

As if Benedict Cumberbatch couldn't get any better, he only went and did the best photo-bomb EVER!

Actually there were quite a few on the night:

2. Jennifer Lawrence Falling...Again

Just as she got out of the car, Jennifer Lawrence tripped and fell on the red carpet. She didn't think anyone saw - Jennifer there are a gazillion cameras, how could we not notice?!



3. John Travolta's Pronunciation of Idina Menzel

How on earth did he get this so wrong?



There is now a website where you can have your own name 'Travoltified'.
Please now call me "Harrison Smurphy".

4. Ellen Ordering Pizza for A List Guests

The pizza delivery guy got a $1000 tip for dishing out pizza to the likes of Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt.


Here's a follow up video on The Ellen Show with Edgar and Ellen explaining how it all happened. Ellen also presented him his well deserved tip. She collected the money, along with Lupita Nyong'o's lip balm, in Pharrell Williams' hat on the night.




5. Pharrell dancing with Lupita, Meryl and Amy

Speaking of Pharrell, he performed his hit single, featured in Despicable Me 2, Happy. Some of the nominated actresses joined in with Pharrell's performance. Meryl's shimmy wins it for me.




6. Steve McQueen Jumping for Joy

After winning the Best Picture Oscar for 12 Years A Slave, Steve McQueen displayed his true delight and celebrated with a bouncy jump after his acceptance speech.

7. Ellen's Oscar Selfie

The most talked about and certainly the most tweeted moment of the night. I predicted in my Top Ten Film Award Moments that Ellen would do a selfie with at least one of the famous faces. In fact, loads of them jumped in on it - including Nyong'o's brother.




Unfortunately for Liza Minnelli, she was too short to get in on the most retweeted picture of all time.

 Though she did have an opportunity later with Ellen.
