And you get snubbed. And you get snubbed. And YOU get snubbed!
Plenty of awkward happened at this year’s Oscars. Mainly, John Travolta weird-kissing Scarlett Johansson.
But somehow, we missed this.
OPRAH GOT SNUBBED.
Rap artist Common and singer John Legend won the prize for Best Original Song for their song Glory which featured in the Oscar-nominated film, Selma. WHICH OPRAH WAS IN. So Common and Oprah were pretty much best friends.
Moments earlier, Common and John Legend had performed Glory on the Oscar stage. And there had been many shots of Oprah, clapping her heart out.
The best moments from the Oscars.
Then the big moment came. ‘The winner is… Glory.’ They walk down the aisle. Oprah holds up her hand for a high-five.
And Common sees her, then snubs her.
Ice cold.
Obviously, Common was all caught up in the moment of winning an Oscar and not putting Oprah’s feelings first. But it’s okay. He turned around almost immediately and gave her a hug. A ‘sorry I snubbed the Queen’ hug.
We’re surprised she didn’t give him the ‘Oprah hug’ in return:

That wasn't a snub! It looks like she was maybe making eye contact with the guy behind him. Also he kind of gave her a little squeeze and smile anyway. Didn't see anything awkward here!
I don't think he snubbed her at all. He was obviously going in for the high five with Oprah and she was looking at the person behind him. If anything, it's embarrassing for him, that he had to pull his hand back and walk past her.
