Oscars were recently held, and the internet is still hot. This year there were many strong nominees in all categories, and the results were not determined for sure until recently, so it was really interesting to follow the competition. However, as always happens, after the award ceremony, people discuss not only the nominees, but also many other aspects, the brightest of which we will now look at.

1. Billy Porter

The most popular photo of this evening was the shot with the actor and singer Billy Porter. Billy came to the ceremony in a chic velvet … dress. “When you go to the Oscars, you have to dress up well,” he wrote on his Twitter account. It would seem that after the performance of Conchita Wurst, such an appearance at a large event should no longer be surprising, but Billy Porter was able to attract full attention to himself.

2. Queen: Adam Lambert and Rami Malek

The show began with a performance by Queen, a film about which became a real hit in 2018. The film's leading actor Rami Malek won the Oscar for the leading male role that evening (Freddie Mercury, "Bohemian Rhapsody"), but Adam Lambert sang with the group. The singer has been performing with Queen for a long time, performing their repertoire. It was an excellent performance, which more than worthily opened the awards ceremony, and on the Internet they began to joke that Freddie Mercury was so great that it is impossible to find one person who would be so charismatic and also knew how to sing - you have to look for these qualities separately.

3. Jason Momoa

Jason Momoa is best known for his two epoch-making roles - Aquaman and Khal Drogo in the TV series Game of Thrones. That evening he went out with Helen Mirren to present the nominees for Best Documentary. “Jason Momoa is probably the most courageous of men, in the best sense of the word,” wrote one Twitter user. "Hardly anyone else could look so organic in a pink velvet suit."

4. Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper

The film "A Star is Born" starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper was nominated for eight Oscar-2019 awards this year. The film really turned out to be very successful, you can watch it in one breath. The main song of the film was "Shallow", and it was she who won the precious award for the whole picture. But what attracted attention was the magnificent performance of this song on stage. “I would like someone to look at me the way Bradley looked at Gaga. It was something,”wrote Lucy Hale.

5. "Green Book"

“I have seen the film three times already, and I look forward to the next three times, when I can see it,” - wrote Magic Johnson, the famous basketball player, about the film “Green Book”. This film received the main nomination - "Best Film of the Year". The film is a comedy drama based on real events. Renowned black jazz pianist Don Shirley travels the southern United States with his white driver. On the way, so as not to get into trouble, they use the Green Book - a guide to safe places for black travelers.

6. Emma Stone / Maya Rudolph

The red carpet is an integral part of the awards ceremony. That is why on this evening they discuss not only the actors and films in which they starred, but also the outfits. The unspoken prize as the worst outfit of the evening was shared by the public on the Internet between Emma Stone and Maya Rudolph. Emma came in a rather unusual dress, which, according to most, resembled waffles with syrup. Maya, on the other hand, wore a fully-covered pink floral print dress with a long cape, which together gave the impression of a peignoir.

7. Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper

Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper were recognized as the most stylish couple of the evening. Irina wore a long, slinky black Burberry dress with an open back, embellished with a gold chain at the waist and gold fringe on the sleeves. Together, Bradley, who opted for a classy black and white classic suit, it looked supremely elegant.
