Adrien Brody, Zoe Saldaña, and Kieran Culkin also walked away with Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Supporting Actor, respectively.
Now, because this is the biggest night for movies, there are always a few reunions that take place both on stage and behind the scenes that are just extremely wholesome.
So, here are some of the best ones this year:
For starters, here's Andrew Garfield and Jesse Eisenberg as Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network in 2010:

In 1990, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg starred together as Molly Jensen and Oda Mae Brown in Ghost. Here they are in the film together:
