It's no surprise that the Oscars were full of amazing moments on Sunday night. After the hustle and bustle of the red carpet [5] died down and the first batch of awards [6] were handed out, the show paid tribute to the artists Hollywood tragically lost both in 2016 [7] and in 2017 [8]. 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 [9], Prince [10], Anton Yelchin, and Mary Tyler Moore played. Given the shocking death of Bill Paxton [11] earlier on Sunday, it was a heart-wrenching moment for all watching.
