Iconic or totally crazy?

Famous people are weird AF at the best of times, but it sometimes seems like when they’re given a gold Oscars statue, they decide to amp ‘crazy’ up a level.

Today marks the date of The 89th Academy Awards, hosted by Jimmy Fallon. So, we thought it was totes appropes to compile a little iconic moments #throwback video, above.

When you watch it, we’re sure you’ll agree that Anna Paquin’s wordless gasping in front of all of Hollywood is way relatable – we would probs react the same way TBH. Either that or Roberto Benigni’s over-excited chair leaping because what are the chances of winning anyway?!

What we definitely wouldn’t do at the Oscars? PDA with the host and make strange confessions of love for our siblings…  Adrian Brody and Angelina Jolie, we are looking at you.

Check it out and prepare to LOL at some unforgettable Oscars times.
