Frances McDormand stole the show with her incredible speech, then the other nominees showed solidarity too.

Following McDormand's Oscar win for Best Actress and delivering a galvanizing speech about equality in Hollywood, the losing nominees looked far from downcast.

Saorise Ronan, Meryl Streep, Margot Robbie, and Sally Hawkins shared an enormous bear hug.

Forget losing graciously, lose with a great big hug.
