News outlets including The Hollywood Reporter and Entertainment Weekly were on hand to witness the festivities, the celebrity guests and maybe even walk away with a few of the TV host's Favorite Things. We've compiled the six biggest spoilers from the Internet so, in case you need one more reminder, spoiler alert!

3. Your host for the evening: Tom Hanks was put to work throughout the taping for the May 23rd episode, acting as a host/emcee. He presented a montage of Oprah's greatest moments and pushed the entire audience to spell out Oprah in the middle of the taping.

4. Love in the air: A man proposed to his girlfriend right in the middle of the stage and — thankfully — she said yes. Someday, this is going to make a great engagement story and must-see viewing for their grandkids.
