Home / What Really Happens Inside the Bathrooms at the Oscars and 16 Moments You Didn’t See on TV

The 90th annual Academy Awards were historic for many reasons.

Yes, celebrities like Margot Robbie, Lupita Nyong’o, Nicole Kidman, and Danai Gurira were among the best dressed on the red carpet. And yes, we’re seriously petitioning for Tiffany Haddish and Mara Rudolph to host next year’s show together. But trust us, all of the action that’s worth paying attention actually happens off camera—and sometimes even inside the bathrooms.

That’s why we’ve brought you fun facts and a list of every hilarious Oscars 2018 moment you definitely didn’t catch on TV or via Twitter. From Emma Stone reaching into her purse for goodies to what Leslie Mann kept reapplying in front of the mirror, these are the best of the best moments.

2. Sally Hawkins shuffling into the bathroom with her super heavy dress. “I keep tripping!” she said. Inside, she was applying Visine, and when a bathroom attendant told her she loved her movie, Hawkins hugged her and said thanks so much. “I love your earrings” she told the attendant.

3. Allison Janney using the men’s bathroom instead of the women’s, and leaving her Oscar on the bar outside as a friend watched the door. Immediately, people at the bar started taking selfies with Janney’s Oscar until she emerged from the men’s room and broke out into a fit of laughter.
