4. After Tracee Ellis Ross finished her tag out to commercial with the voter registration message, she turned around and went to the edge of the stage and shouted a hello to Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross. The family members briefly shouted back and forth from their seats and the stage.
5. The entire audience was going crazy for Cardi B during her performance. Everyone was up out of their seats dancing.
6. Sara Gilbert and Carrie Underwood chatted as they walked off the stage together after Underwood's win, the songstress was very careful to lift up her dress as not to trip over it while they were chatting.
7. Rapper G-Eazy was the first celeb to stand and applaud Billy Eichner's speech encouraging people to register to vote in the upcoming midterm elections.
8. After receiving his award Shawn Mendes shook Billy Eichner's hand once again, before giving the lucky award presenter a hug. Then, as Shawn left the stage he reached his hand out in to the crowd to shake his fans hands.

15. Miles Brown from Black-ish approached Cardi B to ask for a photo and Cardi was more than happy to oblige, with one minor hiccup: his arms were too short for a selfie so security had to step in. Then, Brown's co-star, Marsai Martin, got a teensy bit upset since she wanted to go with him to ask for a photo.
16. Celebs got the full service at the award show, with waiters bringing drinks and snacks to the A-list audience members.
