John Cena’s “nude” 2024 Oscars skit — and said ABC execs were “terrified” over the idea.In his “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” monologue Monday night, the 96th Academy Awards master of ceremonies gave a post-mortem on the previous night’s ceremony, in which Cena, 46, memorably appeared onstage— with nothing but a strategically placed envelope covering his penis — to present the award for Best Costume.It was an homage of sorts to the incident 50 years earlier, at the 1974 Oscars, when a naked streaker ran onto the stage behind David Niven on live television.“Getting this on the air . .

the 2024 Oscars Sunday, host Jimmy Kimmel, 56, made a joke about Donald Trump. The former president wrote on the social media platform Truth Social, “Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars.

The 96th Academy Awards ceremony was so locked in and nearly pre-determined that we, and many other outlets like ours, didn’t bother with an annual Snubs and Surprises feature—90% of the winners were that expected. But the Oscars always manage to throw in at least one curveball, and that was the Best Actress race.

coveted Best Picture award at the 2024 Oscars.The “Scarface” actor, who appeared during Sunday’s star-studded ceremony to present the top honor, went about his presenting duties in an unconventional manner.Instead of building the tension and suspense by naming each of the 10 nominees — as every other presenter before him has — the “Godfather” star just blurted out the winning motion picture, Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.”But according to the actor, 83, the Academy had not asked him to name the other nominees up for the gong.“There seems to be some controversy about my not mentioning every film by name last night before announcing the best picture award,” Pacino told The Post in a statement.“I just want to be clear it was not my intention to omit them, rather a choice by the producers not to have them said again since they were highlighted individually throughout the ceremony. I was honored to be a part of the evening and chose to follow the way they wished for this award to be presented.”“I realize being nominated is a huge milestone in one’s life and to not be fully recognized is offensive and hurtful,” he went on.

Oppenheimer ended the evening as the top-winning movie. The biopic about the man who created the atomic bomb earned seven Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor.Poor Things came next, with four trophies. The biggest honor that the film snagged was Best Actress, with Emma Stone beating out fellow favorite Lily Gladstone, nominated for Killers of the Flower Moon.The only other movie to collect more than one Oscar was Jonathan Glazer’s harrowing Holocaust drama The Zone of Interest, which won Best International Feature and an extremely well-deserved Sound Design win.Three of the four acting categories went to first-time winners.

shared the stage with a troupe of dancing Kens at the 2024 Oscars Sunday, but there’s only one Barbie in his life: Eva Mendes.And even though the Best Supporting Actor nominee for “Barbie” walked the red carpet with his sister and parents instead of his wife — the Hollywood honeys rarely make public appearances together — Mendes, 50, was backstage at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles as Gosling, 43, was preparing to bring the house down with his performance of “I’m Just Ken.”In fact, before the ceremony, Mendes posted an Instagram reel — with “I’m Just Ken” playing, naturally — where she was standing outside Gosling’s dressing room with the caption: “Always be my man.”And after Gosling’s performance, Mendes gave us another behind-the-scenes Insta-peek with a pic of her rocking the same crystal-studded pink suit jacket and black cowboy hat that her husband wore during his show-stopping number.And this time the caption read: “You took Ken all the way to the Oscars, RG.

presentation of the coveted Best Picture award while appearing on “Live with Kelly and Mark.” “I guess he’s never watched an awards show before,” Kimmel, 56, told Kelly Ripa, 53, and Mark Consuelos, 52, in a clip aired on Monday. “It seems like everyone in America knows the rhythm of how it’s supposed to go, down to ‘And the Oscar goes to…’ but, uh, not Al.”The “Scarface” actor — who was supposed to reunite with his co-star Michelle Pfeiffer until she dropped out last-minute — appeared during Sunday’s star-studded assembly to present the top honor … with his own twist.

Oscars 2024 host Jimmy Kimmel’s opinion trumped the advice of the award show’s organizers Sunday night.Somebody in charge told him not to read aloud a Truth Social post by Donald Trump criticizing his performance at the 96th Academy Awards when he had an extra minute to fill near the end of the ABC broadcast, Kimmel said in an interview Monday.“They’re like, ‘You’ve got a little bit of time’ and I was like, ‘I’m reading the Trump tweet,’ and they’re like, ‘No, no, don’t read that,'” he told Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. “[I was like] ‘Yes I am.’”The former president and current candidate wrote on the social media platform: “Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars.

2024 Oscars when he skipped over announcing all 10 of the Best Picture nominees. Instead, he just quickly blurted out “Oppenheimer.”The Oscar winner, 83, was greeted by a standing ovation as he took to the stage at LA’s Dolby Theatre before he delivered the top award.

the 2024 Oscars, beating the expected winner, Lily Gladstone, in an upset, didn’t appear pleased by host Jimmy Kimmel’s sex joke.

Oscars stage in his birthday suit. Cena went onstage nude at the movies’ biggest night as part of a comedy bit at LA’s Dolby Theater. During Sunday night’s 96th Academy Awards, which was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, the comedian paused in the middle of the ceremony to reflect on how a streaker ran across the stage at the 46th Oscars in 1974.“At the 46th Academy Awards, 1974, David Niven was in the middle of introducing Elizabeth Taylor when a nude man — a streaker — ran across the stage,” he told the star-studded crowd.With a pointed pause, Kimmel said, “Can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today? Wouldn’t that be crazy?” He repeated the line after nothing happened, making it clear that he was prompting someone.

left the 2024 Oscars very quickly after she walked the Dolby Theatre red carpet in LA on Sunday.Why?
