Yay celebrities! Yay rich people! Yay awards!

With the end of the Oscars on Sunday night came the end of the awards season. Now officially, the term "awards season" usually only refers to the stretch of film-related events between November and the Academy Awards. For entertainment sites (like this one!), we refer to "awards season" as every single award show that happens between November and the Oscars, so that includes stuff like the Grammys and the People's Choice Awards, because…well, we cover that stuff so it counts.

Now that the 2013-2014 awards season is definitely over (it is over, right? Please be over), it's time to look back on all the fun we all had! Guys, lots of stuff happened you probably already forgot about it, so here's your official E! Online Awards Season Mega-Recap of All the Best Stuff That Happened During All Those Damn Award Shows. Or just E! Online's Mega Awards Season Recap, if you will. Plus photos! And GIFs!

In no particular order (because we don't feel like Googling what order these shows actually go in): 

Critics Choice Awards

Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper both dropped F-bombs.

Since it aired on the CW, all the CW stars were there. No one complained about that.

12 Years a Slave and Dallas Buyers Club dominated the big categories. 

Emma Thompson was awesome.

Golden Globe Awards

Amy Poehler and Tina Fey remained the best hosts ever, and also they made a vagina joke about Leonardo DiCaprio.

Jennifer Lawrence wore Ariel's rope dress from The Little Mermaid, and then she photobombed Taylor Swift looking like a velociraptor.

Gwyneth Paltrow looked like the most bored human ever.

Emma Thompson was awesome.

Screen Actors Guild Awards

Alec Baldwin did not win Best Actor in a Comedy Series for the first time in 902 years.

Cate Blanchett was mad that she was being rushed through her acceptance speech when "Matthew McConaughey spoke about Neptune" in his speech. She also started stroking her award.

Cuba Gooding Jr. rushed the stage at the end to scream out: "Happy MLK!"

Emma Thompson was awesome.

The Brit Awards

James Corden made out with Nick Grimshaw.

Beyoncé performed "XO" and looked damn beautiful doing so.

Harry Styles was late to the stage to accept an award with One Direction because he was "having a wee." That means he was peeing. We think.

Katy Perry gave an historically inaccurate performance of "Dark Horse."

People's Choice Awards

Kat Dennings' boobs hosted the show with their 2 Broke Girls costar Beth Behrs.

Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder may have broken up last year, but they still won Best Onscreen Chemistry. It was awkward. And then Ian made it more awkward by planting a big one on Nina's cheek while accepting the award.

Justin Timberlake thanked wife Jessica Biel in his speech, but she ditched the show to go snowboarding. And then J.T. went to Taco Bell.

Britney Spears won her first People's Choice Award, and she was super-thankful, y'all.

Independent Spirit Awards

It was rainy.

12 Years a Slave won tons of awards.

Paula Patton stepped out for the first time since splitting with husband Robin Thicke. And she wore a tiny yellow dress and looked amazing.

Grammy Awards

Beyoncé and Jay-Z blessed us with a sexy performance of "Drunk in Love," and everyone watching got instantly pregnant.

Macklemore, Madonna and Queen Latifah married 34 gay and straight couples during the show. It was beautiful.

Pharrell Williams wore the biggest hat known to man. And he just sold it to Arby's.

Taylor Swift headbanged her way through a performance of "All Too Well."

Everyone danced, but no one danced like Yoko Ono. No one.

British Academy Film Awards

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt wore matching outfits and remained a flawless couple.

Jennifer Lawrence won Best Supporting Actress, but she was busy with X-Men reshoots, so she wasn't there.

Prince William was there to present an award to Helen Mirren. He called her "Granny."

Emma Thompson was awesome.

Academy Awards

Brad Pitt helped hand out pizza to everyone.

Watch: Jennifer Lawrence Falls at 2014 Oscars

Jennifer Lawrence fell before she even officially arrived at the Oscars.

12 Years a Slave won Best Picture, but director Steve McQueen was less than enthused when John Ridley won Best Adapted Screenplay for the film. So he clapped like that. 

John Travolta gushed about a singer named Adele Dazeem.

Leo didn't win, and the Internet mourned.

Twitter

Ellen DeGeneres broke Twitter with the best selfie ever.

Emma Thompson was not there.

The End!
