Celebrities really need to be careful when they're at an awards show — even if you're not a winner or a nominee, you can end up going viral if the camera catches you at just the right moment.
Like David Spade at the People's Choice Awards this weekend.
It's not totally clear what exactly David Spade was doing — was he thinking about Noah Centineo? Was he imagining going to McDonalds after the ceremony?
Whatever it was, his reaction went viral.
It works for pretty much any emotion you might be feeling. Love, lust, hunger, boredom, confusion — you name it, and Spade is serving it to you.
Spade's longtime friend and collaborator Adam Sandler was also up for the award, and some thought Spade's reaction was confusion as to how Noah might have won over Sandler.
It was definitely a very awkward reaction that I'm sure he would not have been doing if he'd realized the cameras were on him.
It looks like the message at award shows is simple: constant vigilance.
Nicole Kidman had to deal with the effects of a fish-eye camera lens distorting her fingers while she clapped gently to avoid smacking her rings together, and the gifs were not kind to her.
Now, we don't have a handy excuse like Nicole Kidman did to explain what exactly the Orange is the New Black and Russian Doll star was doing here.
She did this every single time that the camera was on her and she was applauding someone. At least David Spade was only caught licking his lips that one time.
The next day, she retweeted a gif of herself clapping with "New phone wha happen" which is really how we all felt.
Whatever it was, it seems like David is content to let it remain a mystery, which is really how it should be.
He's communicating whatever we WANT him to be communicating, and that's a beautiful thing.
