If you're anything like me, you loooove watching awards shows. Sometimes the fun part of it isn't so much watching people get the actual awards but actually watching some of the biggest people in Hollywood reacting to things on live TV.

You see, live TV allows for the perfectttt opportunity to see these celebs as close as we can get to being unscripted and real. That might mean seeing a genuine reaction to another celeb winning, or an I-thought-it'd-be-subtle-but-it-definitely-wasn't eye roll at the lame joke the host made. Sometimes it's messy, sometimes it's wholesome. It's basically the best!
