In many ways the highlight of the Eminem performance was seeing the reactions of the assembled Oscars audience, and none produced more ecstatic amusement on social media than the visage of Martin Scorsese seemingly struggling to keep his eyes open during the song.

Granted, sitting through an almost four-hour awards show must be exhausting for anyone, let alone a 77-year-old, though given that Scorsese had the vitality to make a film as absurdly ambitious and challenging as The Irishman, it's undeniably hilarious that a loud Eminem performance still had him close to nodding off.

Have your rest, Marty. You've definitely earned it.
