Forget the celebratory bottle popping — what stars really needed this award season was some Kleenex. Yes, Chrissy Teigen's tears got the most attention at the Golden Globes, and no one could look away when Uzo Aduba literally dropped her jaw in disbelief at the SAG Awards, but we must also honor the beautiful displays of emotion from Eddie Redmayne, Gina Rodriguez, and Ariana Grande. By the time the Oscars rolled around on Sunday, we thought we'd seen it all, only for Chris Pine's and David Oyelowo's tears to catch us off guard. Read on to see what we're talking about, and then see all the audience reactions at the Oscars for yourself. Source: Getty / Christopher Polk / Kevin Winter
