Can you guess who's in the middle? Kristen Wiig joined hosts John Mulaney and Nick Kroll on stage during the show. The funny lady appeared dressed as 110-year-old “film legend” Fay Fontaine. The 44-year-old actress seemed to poke fun at Faye Dunaway‘s mishap at last year’s Oscars. <p>Photo: © Getty Images</p>
Kerry Washington and her hubby Nnamdi Asomugha shared a sweet moment at the 33rd annual ceremony. The Scandal star looked chic in a multicoloured dress and bomber jacket. They sipped on a bottle of FIJI, the official water of the evening. <p>Photo: © Getty Images</p>
Blast from the past! Andy Samberg hit the stage dressed as John Bender from <em>The Breakfast Club</em>. The SNL alum sang a parody of "Don’t You Forget About Me," begging the actors at the ceremony not to sell out to the "magic of Hollywood." He sang lines like: “Don’t you forget about us, Saoirse don’t leave, don’t put your face upon a bus." <p>Photo: © Getty Images</p>

<p>"Best Male Lead" alert! Timothée Chalamet looked ecstatic to be taking home the coveted award for his performance in <em>Call Me By Your Name.</em></p> <p>“I’m trying to really savour this moment. I don’t know if this thing’s ever really going to happen again,” he said in his acceptance speech. “I hope it doesn’t sound cheesy when I say it, but I have a lot of faith. I have a lot of faith in this industry. I have a lot of faith in our country. I have faith because of Greta Gerwig and Luca Guadagnino and Josh Safdie and Jordan Peele and Daniel Kaluuya and filmmakers that aren’t here. … We’ve got a whole new wave. We’re going to be good. … Thank God we have the Dee Reeses and everybody.”</p> <p>Photo: © Getty Images</p>

<p>Cheers! Frances McDormand took home "Best Female Lead" for her performance in <em>Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri</em>. Notorious for mocking awards shows, Frances recalled the “beach party” she remembered the Spirit Awards used to be. She went on to imagine what it would be like if the show really was a beach party that you could go to in pajamas and slippers - which was exactly what she was wearing.</p> <p>“And then, just think how much money we would have left over to make independent films,” Frances said at the end of her speech.</p> <p>Photo: © Getty Images</p>
