Waititi won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for his film Jojo Rabbit, which he wrote and starred in as Hitler.
After he made his acceptance speech, Waititi was caught squeezing his statuette underneath the seat of the person in the front row, unbeknownst to them.
In a video posted on Larson’s Instagram story, he can be seen pulling his best guilty face as he hides the award.
South Korean black comedy Parasite was the evening's biggest winner, making history by becoming the first ever foreign language film to win Best Picture.
Other winners at the 2020 ceremony included Brad Pitt, who delivered an emotional acceptance speech that saw him praise Leonardo DiCaprio and criticise the verdict of Trump's impeachment trial, while Laura Dern took home the prize for Best Supporting Actress.
As expected, Joaquin Phoenix won Best Actor for Joker following which he criticised inequality and paid tribute to his brother River Phoenix, who died in 1993.
Meanwhile, Olivia Colman had the audience in stitches before presenting Phoenix with his award.
