Talk about the surprise of the night!
17 years after winning Best Original Song at the 2003 Oscars, Eminem took the Dolby Theatre stage on Hollywood's biggest night on Sunday (February 9) for a surprise performance of his Oscar-winning hit "Lose Yourself."
Eminem literally appeared out of nowhere to perform the track, which is from his 2002 film 8 Mile, following a montage celebrating the power of music in films.
Despite a large chunk of the Oscar audience being actors, most of them could barely hide their shocked and confused faces when Em began spitting his iconic bars during the usually buttoned-up show. But, their reactions have since sparked some of the funniest memes and gifs of 2020, which we oh-so-kindly provided for you below.
