The 2020 Oscars kicked off on Sunday night (10 Feb) and that means one thing – memes. Hollywood's most-talented actors, designers and performers, all crammed in one room for an evening, what could go wrong? Only the best facial reactions, awkward moments and some questionable outfits.

Luckily, the internet meme-machine was on point throughout the ceremony, sharing hilarious reactions to all the best moments. So, here are the best memes from the 2020 Oscars.
Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph presented the award for Best Costume Design and Best Production Design and, of course, they delivered a hilarious skit. At one point, they burst into a rendition of 'Lady In Red' by Chris De Burgh. Needless to say, Billie Eilish's face said she wasn't impressed at all.

Eminem performed at the Oscars and no-one was expecting it. Like, what year is it? A clip of Eminem's 2002 movie 8 Mile, which won an Oscar for Best Original Song, played and then all of a sudden the rapper burst out onto the stage. The audience was definitely confused too, as you could tell from the perplexed expression on Idina Menzel's face.

When Blac Chyna rocked up to the Oscars there was universal confusion. The businesswoman wasn't listed as a presenter at the event, nor was she a nominee, so…? Blac Chyna is yet to explain how she managed to blag herself an invite but we're all ears when she does.
Blac Chyna done made it on the red fuckin carpet at the goddamn oscars & my black ass can’t even get on the red carpet at the Soul Train awards?

As you know, Jennifer Lopez was not nominated from her role in Hustlers and, nope, we're still not over it. Fans are still upset about it all. Justice for Hustlers!!

Timothée Chalamet rarely puts a foot wrong when it comes to fashion but his Oscars lewk is proving, um, controversial. The Little Women actor wore a navy blue Prada tracksuit complete with diamond-encrusted Cartier brooch. Cue the memes of Timothée being compared to a valet, serial killer and even a gas station worker.
literally every celebrity: can you wipe down my table

This is so insulting. I know Timothee Chalamet is not nominated but it is wrong to make him do valet parking. pic.twitter.com/457KY5av8K

Bong Joon-ho made Oscars history with his movie Parasite taking home Best Picture – the first non-English movie to do so ever. Bong Joon-ho also won Best Screenplay, Best Director and Best International Feature Film, and he couldn't have been more pleased with his awards. The camera caught moments of Bong playing with his awards and looking down lovingly at them and this is the wholesome content everyone loved to see.

The nightmare that is Cats was brought to the Academy Awards thanks to James Corden and Rebel Wilson, who dressed as their characters. Their presence was a swipe at the movie, which received poor reviews for its creepy CGI. Presenting the award for Best Visual Effects, they said: "As cast members of the movie Cats, nobody more than us understands the need for good visual effects…"
