The 87th Academy Awards on Sunday night provided viewers with plenty of laughs, tears, and confusion, as some of the biggest names in Hollywood came together to honor the best in film over the past year. Reviews indicate that fans and critics alike enjoyed How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris’ stint as host, but it was stars like John Travolta, Lady Gaga and Patricia Arquette that stole the show at Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre.

The red carpet for Sunday night’s Oscars ceremony gave fans their first glimpses of the event’s most stunningly-dressed celebrities, but John Travolta garnered the most attention during his walk into Dolby Theatre. The Grease star unexpectedly gave Scarlett Johansson an uninvited and seemingly unwanted kiss on the cheek, causing viewers to photoshop pictures of the awkward moment next to pictures of Vice President Joe Biden whispering into the ear of Stephanie Carter as her husband was being sworn in as defense secretary. Travolta continued to provide viewers with discomfort during the Oscars telecast, when he joined Idina Menzel on stage. The 61-year-old actor tried to make a joke out of accidentally calling the Frozen star “Adele Dazeem” during last year’s Academy Awards, but he got a little too close for comfort during their comedic bit.

“You, you my darling, my beautiful, my wickedly talented Idina Menzel,” said Travolta as he caressed Menzel’s chin.

Harris kept the evening from ever becoming too uncomfortable, and while a few of his jokes fell flat throughout the ceremony, the audience seemed to enjoy the majority of his attempts to poke fun of Hollywood and his fellow A-listers.

“Today we honor Hollywood’s best and whitest … I mean brightest,” quipped Harris to much applause, poking fun at the lack of nominations for people of color in this year’s ceremony.

Harris started off the show with a musical number that covered 87 years of movie history and inserted him into some of the most iconic films of all time. Into the Woods star Anna Kendrick joined him onstage for the performance, and School of Rock‘s Jack Black made a comedic cameo in its final moments. Will Arnett, Tegan & Sara and The Lonely Island also took to the stage for a musical number, and performed “Everything is Awesome,” the hit song from The Lego Movie. The performance earned positive reviews from fans of the film and younger audiences, but it was clear that the majority of the older Academy attendees and celebrities were confused by the energetic number. Were there an award for best musical performance of the evening, it would have gone to Lady Gaga, who paid tribute to Julie Andrews and The Sound of Music for the film’s 50th anniversary. Gaga per formed a medley of the iconic musical’s memorable songs from the iconic musical, which included “My Favorite Things” and “Climb Every Mountain.”

Patricia Arquette had what is being considered one of the most memorable speeches from this year’s Oscars, as she used her win as Best Supporting Actress in Boyhood to shed light on gender discrimination.

“To every woman who gave birth, to every taxpayer and citizen of this nation, we have fought for everybody else’s rights. It’s our time to have wage equality once and for all and equal rights for women in the United States of America,” said Arquette, causing Meryl Streep to jump out of her chair to give a resounding “Yes!”
