Take That, Haters: Terrence Howard Laughs Off His Oscar Flub Like a Champ

Terrence Howard gave Jimmy Fallon a play-by-play of his embarrassing Oscar moment on The Tonight Show, and it will surprisingly make you feel better about the whole situation.

When introducing the Best Picture nominees at the big event, the Empire star gave us a baffling mix of emotions, and went from being utterly confused to tearing up about computers and The Imitation Game.

Yup.

Leave it to Fallon to ask Howard to watch the clip on his show and explain what the hell actually happened. Turns out, he was pretty starstruck. Seeing an audience of A-listers caused him to get flustered and forget his lines, which is understandable. We now see Howard as human, instead of just a weirdo. If anything, we give him props for being able to make fun of himself and handle the situation like a trooper. Now experience the hot mess all over again, because you know you want to.
