Viewers around the world tune in to see the Oscars broadcast each year with bated breath, but some of the choicest moments of the night never make it to air.
This year was no exception, with Michael B Jordan leaving the stage after winning best actor for Sinners and getting a hug from a superstar he had just beaten.
Leonardo DiCaprio, who was nominated in the same category for One Battle After Another, greeted Jordan with a gracious embrace and the two men clasped fists.
Pedro Pascal, who has been trolled online for his touchy-feely behavior with his co-stars, was glimpsed backstage clasping his co-presenter Sigourney Weaver’s hand.
Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, stars of the upcoming A24 film The Drama, mingled behind the scenes after presenting Best Director to Paul Thomas Anderson.
Anderson, who triumphed in several categories for One Battle After Another, could also be seen with them in the wings as they keenly observed the action onstage.
