Of all the awards shows, the Oscars is the most highly anticipated, and for good reason! The most famous actors in Hollywood are all gathered under one roof for one night out of every year. Not to mention, some of the most iconic fashion moments off the runway happen at the Oscars, and everyone's watching to see who people are wearing! The 2019 Academy Awards was no exception.

Let's take a look at some of the best moments of this year's show, from the best dressed on the red carpet to the awards people definitely deserved...or didn't:

1. Constance Wu in Versace

The "Crazy Rich Asians" star left her mark on Hollywood red carpet fashion tonight with her yellow dress, which was a custom piece by Versace! In her interview with E!, she talked about her next film, "Hustlers," where she will work alongside Jennifer Lopez in a story about former strippers who team together and trick rich men out of their millions.

2. Regina King for Best Supporting Actress

This was King's first nomination for an Academy Award, and she truly deserved the win! Her emotional portrayal of Sharon Rivers in "If Beale Street Could Talk" moved many audience members to tears!

3. Gemma Chan in Valentino

Another "Crazy Rich Asians" star, Chan got her spotlight at the Oscars in a hot pink Valentino gown, complimented nicely by Paul Green jewelry. She, along with Jason Momoa, Helen Mirren, Kacey Musgraves, and many others, adhered to the trend of pink outfits that night! E! also credited Chan with a compliment for the ages, calling her a "modern-day Audrey Hepburn."

4. Black Panther for Best Costume Design

"Black Panther" winning best costume design proved how much hard work pays off. There were so many details in each costume, and I recommend watching Youtube videos that talk about the costume design and construction process! FYI, they 3D printed the headdress and crown in an African lace patters for the Queen Mother's costume...how AMAZING is that?? Ruth E. Carter is the first black person to win in this category, and we are all here for her in support!

5. Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper singing "Shallow"

Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's performance together at the Oscars showcased, yet again, how beautifully their voices blend! It was the musical performance we were all waiting for, if you watched the show, and if you did, you know that they did not disappoint! How can that much talent be squeezed into Gaga's 5'1" frame? Also, before this film, who knew Bradley Cooper could sing??

6. Rami Malek for Best Actor

Rami Malek won best actor over Willem Dafoe, Christian Bale, Viggo Mortensen, AND Bradley Cooper for his role as the rock singer Freddie Mercury of Queen! This was his first nomination and win for an Academy Award, and this also makes him the first Egyptian-American to have received an Oscar for Best Actor! His mention of his parents immigrating from Egypt and him being a first-generation American touched hearts and serves as an inspiration to immigrant families and children across America.

7. Lady Gaga in Alexander McQueen

Another nod to the Hollywood starlet Audrey Hepburn, Gaga not only dressed in the classic black dress with elbow gloves to match, but she wore the timeless, and priceless, yellow Tiffany diamond! It weighs around 128 karats and was last worn by Hepburn for a publicity shot for "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Of course, she has our vote for Best Dressed at the 2019 Oscars!

8. Olivia Colman's Speech for Best Actress

Olivia Colman's reaction to winning the Academy Award for Best Actress was truly authentic, as she seemed completely caught off-guard, and her speech reflected just that! As we all know, the time constraints on acceptance speeches can be annoying, especially when the speakers have so much to say and so many people to thank! I can't wait to see the Internet blow up with jokes about how Colman was so flustered by the teleprompter telling her to wrap up that she blew a raspberry!

9. Alfonso Cuarón for Best Director

By the time the award for Best Director was given to him, Cuarón was already very familiar with the Oscar stage, having already won two awards prior that night for Best Cinematography and Best Foreign Language Film! In "Roma," Cuarón tells the story of a maid for a middle-class Mexican family that takes place in the 1970s.

10. "Green Book" for Best Picture

The most highly coveted award of the night went to "Green Book"! I am usually pretty good at predicting who will win for almost any award at the Academy Awards, but this year had me truly stumped! But director Pete Farrelly and producers Jim Burke, Charles B. Wessler, and Brian Currie worked hard and earned this award. "Green Book" was one of three films nominated for Best Picture that focused on black history and oppression in American history.

11. Keegan Michael-Key's Presenter Entrance

And last, but most definitely not least, Keegan Michael-Key. When I saw Key descending from the ceiling like Mary Poppins, umbrella in hand, I actually fell out of my seat laughing! It just goes to show that we Penn Staters truly know how to make an entrance!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
