The biggest names in Hollywood gathered last night for the Academy Awards, the last and most prestigious awards show on the calendar honoring the greatest achievements in filmmaking.

The ceremony was hosted at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles by comedian Conan O’Brien for the second consecutive time.

One Battle After Another emerged as the night’s biggest winner with a leading six awards, including Best Directing for Paul Thomas Anderson, the new category Best Casting, as well as the top prize, Best Picture.

Hamnet’s Jessie Buckley took home Best Actress in an emotional speech, while Sinners' Michael B. Jordan defeated Timothée Chalamet for Best Actor.

In addition to answering the questions that sparked heated debates and online betting, the pop culture feast provided material for hundreds of memes. Some were the product of witty social media users, while others were created live by O’Brien himself. 

At one point in the ceremony, the host showcased Leonardo DiCaprio’s memes on the big screen and asked the nominated star to make a face that would go with the text, "TFW [that feeling when] You Didn't Agree to This."

Naturally, O’Brien also took a dig at the scandal surrounding Timothée Chalamet's recent comments about ballet and opera and his controversial statement that “no one cares” about those art forms anymore.

"Security is extremely tight tonight... I’m told there’s concerns about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities," the host said during his opening monologue, referencing reports about the risk of Iranian attacks at the event. Chalamet appeared to accept the joke and laughed along in the audience.

The host also made viewers laugh out loud when, at the beginning of the show, he dressed up as Amy Madigan’s character from Weapons, hair and all. Madigan later won Best Supporting Actress for the role.

Without further ado, here are some of the funniest memes from the 98th Academy Awards.

It had nothing to do with his remarks about ballet and opera. Jury voting was already closed as the interview aired. His performance just isn't good, especially compared to other nominees. And he kinda was an obnoxious insufferable d-bag waaaaayyyyy before all of this.

    He looks pale and tired. Perhaps he wasn't feeling well? Because he looked great minus a mustache in GOT.

    This isn't a comment on the meme itself. As a Swede, I have to admit that it's nice to see a fellow country person get awarded for their endeavors 🇸🇪🎉

    I know this is a joke, but having recently watched Sinners, I momentarily scanned the audience for his twin brother. Duh! I think I am just fantasising about a world where there are 2 Michael B Jordans!

    The crazy thing is that her songs are the same style whether its 1980 or 2020, Aerosmith or Belinda Carlisle or Michael Bolton. Not really my thing, but if you can succeed with the same thing no matter the performer or the decade, I suppose that pretty well defines "timeless.'"

    Most talented in the world?! 🤨 Even if we agreed that movies objectively require the "most talent", until Roma and Parasite, we didn’t even know the show was meant to be international. And ever since then, it’s been confusing why they still have a Foreign Language category if they’re truly considering other countries for all awards.

    Hey, you want to talk about acting talent? That guy almost made me give a c**p about what brand of undershirt I wore. He complains about a tag on the neck of a shirt, and 100 million of us become neurodivergent.

    Jack O'Connell doesn't get the attention he deserves. He's been in some big productions, but not many people seem to know who he is. He's come a long way from Skins and This is England.
