With all the controversy swirling around the Academy Awards this weekend, there was no telling how the actual show would pan out. As it turns out, that controversy didn’t do much to bring attention to the ceremony, as ABC managed to garner some of the worst viewing figures in nearly a decade. But despite all of that, there were still plenty of great moments that have since gone viral, and marketing insight company Amobee Brand Intelligence has collected the top 10.
