Something a bit unprecedented happened at The Oscars on Sunday, March 15: a tie! Kumail Nanjiani was announcing the award for Best Live Action Short Film, and when he let the audience know that there was a tie vote, he had to clarify that he was not joking.

Nanjiani announced The Singers as the first winner, and after the creators accepted the honor, he revealed that Two People Exchanging Saliva had also won an Oscar in the category. While this doesn’t happen often, it is not the first time there’s been a tie at the Oscars.
