Because I always found this bit of the Oscars fun (plus the looks on the winners' faces are wonderful), here are some of last night's winners watching as their Oscars get their plaques engraved. This happens after the ceremony at the Governors' Ball (also where that stupid clip of Rami wasting champagne came from, as you can see under the cut).
Winners get plaque-less trophies when they win (hence why the black base of the statue is blank), and afterwards they go to get it engraved. Also pretty sure they make plaques of all nominees beforehand and probably just melt the losers' plaques? Oh well.
