Neil Patrick Harris opened the 87th Annual Academy Awards Sunday night with that boyish smile, and a charming little joke about “Hollywood’s best and whitest, sorry brightest.”

Then he burst into song. So how was the “Moving Pictures” song?

One word – stormtroopers!

Ok, two words – dancing stormtroopers!

Harris did a great job. Watch the awesomeness from the 2015 Oscars in the video below.

The 87th Annual Academy Awards will be broadcast live on ABC tonight, Sunday, February 22, 2015, from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, CA, starting at 8:30pm EST, and hosted by Neil Patrick Harris.

See below to find out who took home Oscars, as we will be updating this article throughout the night as the Winners are announced. For nominations, Birdman and The Grand Budapest Hotel tie the lead with 9 nods, with The Imitation Game close behind with 8; Boyhood and American Sniper each had 6 nominations. We’ll see if any of these films walk out tonight as big winners. Eddie Redmayne won Best Actor for The Theory Of Everything with Julianne Moore taking home Best Actress for Taking Alice, while Supporting Actor went to J.K. Simmons for Whiplash with Patricia Arquette winning Best Supporting Actress for Boyhood.

Oscar weekend is here! A time when we all turn into armchair Siskel and Eberts (RIP twice!), and shout at our television screens when one of our faves inevitably loses. You just can’t pick ’em all.

But before the Super Bowl of awards shows, The 87th Annual Academy Awards, we can still bask in our dreams and enjoy the commercials that the best awards show host ever (sorry Ellen! You were really close Amy and Tina!), Neil Patrick Harris, made to get us ready for this golden event.

If your favorite movie of 2014 leaves Oscar Sunday a loser, have no fear. History suggests that the Academy Award losers have just as good a chance to become all-time classics as the winners. Granted, sometimes, the Academy gives the little golden statue to the right film. No one is going to argue The Godfather (1972), Casablanca (1942), or Schindler’s List (1993). But seriously, in 20 years is ANYONE gonna remember the overrated message movie of Crash (2005) or even the more recent 21st century silent film, The Artist? I sincerely doubt it. In fact, on 2007’s American Film Institute’s 100 Greatest Films (10-year edition), 14 out the top 20 were NOT Best Picture winners, some not even nominated.

So here’s a brief list of some of the greatest Academy Award Best Picture losers of all time.

Take my favorite musician/recording artist ever and add in my favorite movie of 2014 and you have a recipe for greatness. “Weird Al” Yankovic has teamed up with Oscar contender for Best Picture, Whiplash, to promote his upcoming world tour “Mandatory.” Whiplash is the story of a drum prodigy tested by his abusive jazz conductor college professor played by Oscar nominee J.K. Simmons. In Weird Al Gets Whiplashed, a video produced by College Humor, Weird Al stands in for Miles Teller’s character Andrew, while his patented accordion replaces the drums. The performer is excited for his upcoming world tour and is trying to get “perfect” with the help of Simmons’ Fletcher. While Simmons’s scenes from the film remain perfectly intact, this hilarious 4-plus minutes video has Weird Al voicing to Simmons what most viewers of the film wanted to yell at the screen.
