The Oscars 2025 were not just about handing out golden statues—they were about serving jaw-dropping moments that the internet instantly turned into meme gold. The Dolby Theatre may have been packed with A-listers, but it was the X users who had the last laugh, turning every red carpet appearance, every chaotic moment, and every snarky Conan O’Brien jab into viral content.

It was the moment Wicked fans had been manifesting for months: Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande belting out Defying Gravity on the Oscars stage. While Michelle Yeoh was spotted getting teary-eyed, the real action was on X, where fans flooded the timeline with reactions. From “I need a moment to recover” to “I am literally levitating,” the audience at home turned into an emotional wreck watching Elphaba and Glinda in full power mode. One user summed it up: This is my Super Bowl.

Red carpets are known for glitz and glamour—unless you’re Adam Sandler. The comedian showed up in his signature ‘dad on a coffee run’ look, rocking a zip-up hoodie and basketball shorts. While most people just chuckled, Conan O’Brien wasn’t about to let it slide. Calling Sandler out mid-show, Conan quipped about the Oscars’ ‘unofficial dress code,’ only for Sandler to shout back, “Nobody even noticed until you said something!” X users? They were rolling. One meme read: Adam Sandler is dressing like he’s dropping off his kids at school, and honestly, respect.

No fashion sense whatsoever-

Adam Sandler may not be nominated at this year’s Oscars, but that didn’t stop the actor and comedian from crashing Conan O’Brien’s opening monologue at the top of the ceremony. Sandler was roasted by the host for dressing so casually at Hollywood’s… pic.twitter.com/lTPwnXa6lG

Miley Cyrus has always been a fashion risk-taker, but her bleached eyebrows at the Oscars 2025 had X users spiraling. Paired with her gothic glam black Alexander McQueen gown, the look left people both impressed and slightly terrified. Miley is giving ‘haunted doll but make it couture,’ and I am HERE for it, one user declared.

I’m a huge Miley fan. However shaving your eyebrows never plays. Nobody in the history of earth has ever said “hey you look great without your eyebrows” #Oscars2025 pic.twitter.com/YPPAiN5Vxt

Timothée Chalamet is out here proving that Butter Yellow is the color of 2025, and honestly? We’re eating it up. Drenched in a silky, golden-yellow suit that looked smoother than a fresh tub of Amul, the A Complete Unknown star had fans losing it. The internet wasted zero time turning him into a literal stick of butter—because, let’s be real, he was serving rich, creamy perfection. Even host Conan O’Brien couldn’t resist roasting him, joking, “Love that suit, you will not get hit on your bike tonight.” But let’s be honest—Timmy was giving less "bike safety" and more "banana-flavored Laffy Taffy chic."

From Conan O’Brien’s perfectly timed roasts to unexpected celebrity sightings, the 97th Academy Awards were more than just a celebration of film—they were a treasure trove of internet chaos. One thing’s for sure: the memes will outlive the actual winners, and X users will ensure that we never forget Oscars 2025 for its comedy gold.
