One of the night's biggest surprises actually came during a commercial break, as Netflix dropped an out-of-nowhere teaser for Martin Scorsese's hugely anticipated upcoming Netflix mob thriller The Irishman.

The teaser didn't actually feature a single scrap of footage from the film, though did include several slivers of dialogue from Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, while also teasing the presence of Joe Pesci and Harvey Keitel.

And in case you weren't aware, the film will be getting a theatrical rollout this fall alongside its streaming release, ensuring that those who wish to see Scorsese's crime epic on the big screen will get the chance.

Naturally, The Irishman will likely be a mighty contender for all the big gold statues next year, so watch this space.
