GETTING THEIR MONEY'S WORTH
Unsuspecting tourists gatecrash the Oscars 2017 ceremony after their tour bus makes a surprise stop
The excited group found themselves meeting and greeting Hollywood's biggest stars
A group of tourists on what they believed to be a normal tour bus found themselves interrupting the 89th Academy Awards in one of Jimmy Kimmel's Oscar skits.
The group, led by Gary from Chicago, were led into the building and guided towards host Jimmy and they couldn't quite believe their luck.

Host Jimmy said the unwitting guests had been told they were being taken to look round an exhibition, but were instead brought into the Dolby Theatre in the middle of the ceremony.
The shocked passengers whipped their mobile phones out to capture the moment and snap selfies with Mahershala Ali's best supporting actor Oscar.
Jennifer Aniston gifted her sunglasses to lucky guest Vicki, while Ryan Gosling also slipped a present to another passenger.
After one fan told Kimmel Denzel Washingon was her favourite film star and she was on the tour with her fiance, Washington leaped out of his seat and pretended to marry them.
