No one was having more fun than Javier Bardem. He was up out of his seat, dancing, clapping and yelling, "Woo!" A GIF of the excited reaction quickly made the rounds online.

Twitter was loving his enthusiasm. One Twitter user wrote, "Javier Bardem is living his best life right now at the #Oscars."

While another wrote, "Javier Bardem is such a Queen fanboy awwww."

Queen Latifah, who was right next to Bardem, was jamming out to the rousing medley of "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" as well.

Every time the cameras panned to the audience, you could see their pure joy. Glenn Close, Christian Bale and Amy Adams were all bobbing along to the music, while Allison Janney pumped her fist to the beat.
