Lots of people won Oscars last night, but only one person won the Oscars. That person was Lupita Nyong’o. Not only did she win for Best Supporting Actress and give arguably the best speech, but everyone in Hollywood was lining up to meet her, hug her, dance with her, and be photographed with her. Here is the photo evidence from the show, backstage, and after-parties. Everyone was just loopy for Lupita!
