Benedict Cumberbatch was behind one of the best Awards Season moments last year when he photobombed U2 on the red carpet. Well he's back to his Cumberbombing antics, this time leaping behind Margaret Cho and MERYL STREEP.

As part of a skit, orchestrated by Tina Fey and Amy Phoehler, Margaret Cho dressed as a North Korean General and posed for a picture with Meryl Streep. In comes a flying Cumberbatch.

Benedict explained his original U2 photobomb to Time Out magazine: "Yes, I photobombed U2! But that was all Ellen DeGeneres' fault because she plied everyone with vodka on the red carpet. Her team was handing out these miniatures. A friend really wanted me to get a photo with U2. So I just saw the opportunity and I've never felt an impulse like it. I spotted them all standing around and I thought, 'Perfect!' It wasn't preordained or anything. I just did it."
