There's no way around it—2020 was not a normal year. Despite spending most of our time at home (and probably wearing the same sweatpants multiple days of the week) this year, there were still a ton of memorable pop culture moments. From celebratory moments that took place in a more normal time, such as Parasite taking home Best Picture at the Oscars, to binge watching Tiger King in the first weeks of quarantine, we still had plenty to talk and tweet about over the past twelve months. Here are some of the 2020 pop culture moments we'll remember after this year is long
