The 87th Academy Awards ceremony was a nearly four hour roller coaster of glitz and gum chewing.

From the highs (Lady Gaga's stellar performance of The Sound of Music) to the lows (John Travolta's uncomfortable face touching), the show managed to keep us entertained for nearly its entire 48 hour runtime. Amazing.

Because we pride ourselves at being number crunchers, we've analyzed the entire ceremony and come up with a solid by-the-numbers breakdown of things you probably didn't know about the show.

Well, kind of.
