Not all heroes wear capes.
Some heroes wear tuxedos, and some wear dresses, and sometimes heroes are sitting front row at The Oscars. Those are the heroes we need.

For example, Brad Pitt had some personal history made, given that despite his 33 years of acting in Hollywood, four nominations, and statue-win for producing 12 Years A Slave, he had never won an Oscar for acting until this year.
Addressing his co-star Leonardo DiCaprio in the audience, Brad also said, “I’ll ride on your coattails any day, man," earning a chuckle from the crowd during his speech.
Zack, close friend and co-star of Shia LaBeouf in The Peanut Butter Falcon, made history together when they got to present the Oscar for Best Live Action Short.
The film's director, Bong Joon Ho, took home the Best Director and Best Original Screenplay statues, the film won the Best International Feature award, and in the surprise move of the night, it also took home Best Picture.
It was up against such strong contenders like Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Joker, 1917, and The Irishman and still managed to come out on top.
What an incredible moment!
Dimming the lights is a way that the producers can signal that the time is up on speeches and to move on to the next award.
Lee is the vice chair of the Korean production company, CJ Entertainment, which has backed Bong Joon Ho's other projects like Snowpiercer as well as Park Chan-wook's The Handmaiden.
"Miky Lee has taken a risk in investing in dicey and innovative films for the past decade or so," said Jinsoo An, a specialist in Korean cinema.
However, certain notable figures in the audience weren't about to let the Academy literally dim Lee's moment.
The two were seen chanting "Up! Up! Up!" and swinging their arms up to indicate that the lights needed to be brought back up for Lee to speak, which they were.
What an awesome move by some seasoned award-winners to let the newcomers have their historic moment!
She started off by thanking Bong Joon Ho, saying, "Thank you for being you. I like everything about him. His smile, his crazy hair, the way he talks, the way he walks..."
"What I really like about him is his sense of humour, and the fact is he can be really making fun of himself and he never takes himself seriously."
"I really, really, really want to thank our Korean film audience, our moviegoers, who have been really supporting our movies and never hesitated to give us straightforward opinions," she laughed.
Parasite truly deserved this win, so if you haven't seen it yet, you definitely have to!
