The Academy Awards are this Sunday, which means you'll be parked on our couch with E! Online open on your laptop, phone and tablet, right? We're pretty much the place to be during award season. But anyway...

In order to judge how awesome or terrible this year's Oscars will be, we have to talk about last year's show. That was almost 12 months ago, and let's face it, television has destroyed all our brains. We now have the memory of a gold fish. 

So as a refresh and/or recap, here are the 21 things you probably forgot happened at the 2014 Academy Awards:

1. Benedict Cumberbatch photobombed U2.
