1. Caught red-handed
True to her history of surprising audiences in kooky get-ups, Lady Gaga wore tomato-red gloves with her white Azzedine Alaia dress. The disconcerting ensemble prompted spores of photoshopped pictures of her holding a washing detergent, wearing a red apron, as well as standing against a background of dirty dishes in a kitchen. What was with the gloves Gaga?

2. Klutzy Lopez
The social media world was abuzz with praise on Jennifer Lopez’s beautiful Ellie Saab dress, even though she did almost trip over its layered fabric while commencing to present an award on stage.
4/12
3. John’s weird antics
Scarlett Johansson was totally caught off-guard as John Travolta crept up and planted a kiss on her because he “couldn’t resist”. The Lost In Translation actress looked stunning in her emerald gown and matching statement necklace so we get why he couldn't resist a little peck.
5/12
4. Right back at’cha
This widely-circulated screenshot poked fun at John Travolta giving a sideway squint at Benedict Cumberbatch while referencing Travolta’s mispronunciation of Idina Menzel's name as Adele Dazeem at last year’s Oscars. Menzel also got back at Travolta by introducing him as "Glom Gazingo".
6/12
5. Everything is Awesome
Honestly, how can it not be awesome when Tegan and Sara and the Lonely Island performed the Lego Movie’s theme song - complete with the left shark from Katy Perry's 2015 Super Bowl performance.
7/12
6. Lego Oscars
For those who didn’t manage to win the Oscars this year, they were able to make do with the Lego versions of the trophies. We still love you, Emma!
8/12
7. #AskHerMore
Celebrities like Patricia Arquette and Reese Witherspoon are calling for journalists to ask the more important questions rather than the usual "who you're wearing". Because if anything, the stars on the red carpet for their incredble acting performances not for ace styling.
9/12
8. 2 Jennifers and 1 Justin
Jennifer Lopez posted a selfie on her Twitter, where she was photobombed by Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux. Fans appreciated her sharing this candid photo, saying “what a fun moment. :) ♡” (by user @truebigbluefan).
10/12
9. Naked Neil
Social media users (and probably the audience at Hollywood) were surprised by Neil Patrick Harris’ ‘naked’ appearance. Neil pulled out the big guns (so to speak) and gave a nod to Best Picture nominee 'Birdman' and Best Actor nominee, Michael Keaton.
11/12
10. Poor Leo
Numerous memes also made snubs at Leonardo Dicapario’s lack of nomination at this year’s Oscars. Social media users went even further by making him one of the workers who made the 'Lego Oscars' – given to those who didn’t snag a win. We hope next year will be a better year for you, Leo!

From inspiring acceptance speeches to mismatched fashion and creepy kissing, let’s have a recap of the Academy Awards on social media. You don’t want to miss this!

There are those who get to attend the Oscars ‘live’ at Hollywood, and there are those of us who have to catch the glitz and glamour from our sofas (just like Ellen). Nevertheless, we made the most of what we had by commenting and sharing the most notable moments from the 87^th Academy Awards with audiences around the world on social media.

From behind-the-scene and personal moments captured by the stars themselves, to embarrassing caught-in-the-moment screen captures, let’s relive the inspiring, the hilarious and the candid posts from a different angle!
