The 92nd Academy Awards ceremony took place last night and, much like every year, people were painfully waiting for the big categories to be announced so they could enjoy some much-needed slumber. As with past iterations of the show, last night seemed to drag on incessantly but, thankfully, there were several moments keeping us entertained throughout the evening. From Billie Eilish's meme-worthy reaction to Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig, Parasite's absolute domination, and Eminem's shock performance of "Lose Yourself," there was enough keeping us on our toes to wait for the eventual Best Picture announcement. The crowd appeared to be feeling Em's eighteen-years-late stage show, singing along to his world-famous track but one man legend was notably a little sleepy during the ordeal.

Martin Scorcese, director of The Irishman (of which the harshest critics have ironically referred to it as a three-and-a-half-hour snoozefest), was captured on the hard camera during Eminem's surprise show-out but he did not look to be enjoying the performance one bit. Perhaps just trying to get through the rest of the night, the 77-year-old icon was dozing off in the middle of the high-energy display, clearly not too into Slim Shady.
As noted by Highsnobiety, Scorcese wasn't the only person not totally turned on by the random nature of Eminem's performance; Billie Eilish (who recently critiqued the state of rap music) and Idina Menzel both looked pretty perplexed during the showing.

Swae Lee Responds To Being Caught Taking A Snooze At Superbowl
Swae just needed quick re-energizing nap.
Celebrities: they're just like us. Ever attend a highly-anticipated event just to fall asleep halfway through it? Ever binge so much food at the Superbowl party buffet that you pass out shortly after hitting the couch? Swae Lee found himself in a similar predicament on Sunday night, but he was actually at the game.
Another attendee in the stands spotted the Rae Sremmurd rapper taking a snooze in his seat. Swae's brother Slim Jxmmi managed to stay awake for the big game, but also looked quite exhausted as he watched. Eventually, Jxmmi spots the culprit exposing their sleepiness and, almost simultaneously, Swae awakens to discover he's being filmed too. Swae wasn't too bothered, though. He gave the camera a friendly nod and wave of the hand.
After the "Guatemala" singer stumbled upon this clip online, he clarified the reason for his fatigue. "I ain’t slept in two days. I’m up now," he tweeted. It might be seriously frowned upon to secure such an expensive ticket to a high-profile event only to nap while you're there, but Swae might just be more concerned about the pre- and post-game partying than the game itself. After the Kansas City Chiefs won the Superbowl last night, Swae invited the team to accompany him at Miami's LIV nightclub.
