It's no surprise that the Oscars were full of amazing moments on Sunday night. After the hustle and bustle of the red carpet died down and the first batch of awards were handed out, the show paid tribute to the artists Hollywood tragically lost both in 2016 and in 2017. Following an introduction from Jennifer Aniston, Sara Bareilles sang a gorgeous rendition of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides, Now" as a video commemorating iconic stars like Carrie Fisher, Prince, Anton Yelchin, and Mary Tyler Moore played. Given the shocking death of Bill Paxton earlier on Sunday, it was a heart-wrenching moment for all watching.
