There was just one scene-stealing moment at the otherwise snoozy Oscars on Sunday night.

Schumer sarcastically “praised” Aaron Sorkin and his “innovation to make a movie about Lucille Ball without a moment that’s funny.” Wonderful. The camera panned to Andrew Garfield, who made a face like his mother just said the foulest of curse words.
