The 95th Academy Awards were everything we had hoped for - desi representation and victories - check, blockbuster performances - check, red carpet hits - totally and thankfully no slapgate situation, thanks to the Academy's "crisis team" this year. Amid all this, Twitter users (surprisingly) found another reason to celebrate a small moment at the Oscars this year - Jessica Chastain, who won the Best Actress Oscar for The Eyes of Tammy Faye last year, was pictured wearing a face mask during the ceremony. While the actress wore a mask for most part of the award show, she made her red carpet appearance and arrived on stage sans a mask. A section of the Internet praised the actress for being masked during the show. See some of the tweets here:
"Jessica Chastain even if not actually using it effectively enough... still wearing a mask at all... does get that little appreciation bump from me," read a tweet.

"Ok I was excited Jessica Chastain wore a mask but then she took it off when she was presenting so really it was all for useless show, since I doubt the ventilation on there was so spectacular. Guess we'll see if her Doll's House understudy goes on next week," wrote a Twitter user.
