The 2017 Academy Awards were full of memorable moments, but The Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons almost missed out on them all as he suffered a major setback on his journey to the Oscars and was stranded without ID for over an hour.
Parsons, who starred in the Oscar-nominated Hidden Figures, documented the entire saga on his Instagram account, revealing that he got locked out of the house after forgetting his ID, making it pretty difficult to get into the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, where the Oscars were being held.
