Chrissy Teigen appears to fall asleep during 2017 Oscars

Feb. 27 (UPI) -- Chrissy Teigen appeared to fall asleep during the 2017 Academy Awards ceremony Sunday.

The 31-year-old model sent social media into a frenzy after she was spotted taking a nap on husband John Legend's shoulder during Casey Affleck's acceptance speech for Best Actor for Manchester by the Sea.

"I think my favorite part of the Oscars so far has been Chrissy Teigen sleeping on John. She is my spirit animal," one person captioned a clip of the moment on Twitter.

"Chrissy Teigen sleeping during the Oscars is my 2017 mood," another person wrote.

Teigen and Legend dazzled on the red carpet together hours earlier. The model stunned in a white Zuhair Murad gown with beaded embellishment and a thigh-high slit, while Legend looked dapper in a black tuxedo.

"You look like a goddess. I'm very pleased," the singer told his wife during an interview with E! News.

Legend performed a medley of two songs from La La Land -- "City of Stars" and "Audition (The Fools Who Dream)" -- at the awards show, the former of which won Best Original Song. Teigen told E! her husband was "very nervous" about the performance.

"He won't say, but he's nervous," the model said. "He's very nervous. There's a bit of piano medley happening tonight that he doesn't know if he can do."

Teigen and the rest of the audience were later shocked when La La Land was mistakenly announced as the winner of Best Picture; Moonlight was the actual winner. The movie, starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, took home five other awards in addition to Best Original Song.
