When you're in a film that wins an Academy Award, "fuck yeah" is a pretty fair response.

So, when Spotlight won the Oscar for Best Picture, Michael Keaton was super pumped. So excited that he did a victory fist-pump and said, "fuck yeah" at the camera as he walked on stage to accept the award with the rest of the cast and crew.

Of course, this comes just a year after Keaton lost for Best Actor for his role in Birdman, and had to slip his acceptance speech back into his pocket. 

Fuck yeah, Michael Keaton.
