During the Oscars, we couldn't help but notice the wealth of emotions that surfaced all night long. No one could hold back their tears [1] during John Legend [2] and Common's latest incarnation of "Glory," and when Patricia Arquette spoke out about gender equality during her acceptance speech, the crowd pretty much went wild [3].
