Even The Oscars Couldn't Keep Ben Stiller's Eyes Off The Knicks Game

Ben Stiller had one eye on the basketball court and another one on Hollywood this Sunday.

While attending the Oscars, the “Zoolander” actor turned his attention away from the awards to celebrate the New York Knicks’ 116–112 overtime win against the Miami Heat.

“KNICKS WIN!” he triumphantly posted about two and a half hours into the marathon ceremony.

I’m crying bro you’re at the Oscars https://t.co/7pzs9rZH0L

The “Severance” director was clearly making the most of multitasking during the award show.

His post about the nail-biter basketball game came not long after he was onstage to present the Academy Award for Best Production.

Online, people had some very funny things to say about the “Tropic Thunder” star’s superfan moment.

Ben Stiller tweeting about the Knicks during The Oscars is one of my favorite traditions every year.
