Ryan Gosling announced during his opening monologue on “Saturday Night Live” that he has had to “break up” with his “Barbie” character Ken — but not before one final sendoff. “I’m here because of my new movie, ‘The Fall Guy’ with Emily Blunt,” Gosling, 43, told the cheering crowd. “So don’t worry, I’m not going to make any jokes about Ken because it’s not funny.

“I’m Just Ken” at this year’s Oscars, but was persuaded to do so because of his daughters’ love for Barbie.The Canadian actor, who starred alongside Margot Robbie in the summer hit film, initially told the Academy he wasn’t interested in the live performance because anything could happen.“100 percent no,” Gosling said during his appearance Thursday night on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.“There’s a lot of ways that could go wrong.”Gosling, 43, eventually agreed to put on the show, complete with backup dancers, musician Mark Ronson, and a surprise appearance by legendary “Guns N’ Roses” guitarist Slash.The performance has garnered hundreds of millions of views on social media, Spotify and Apple Music.Gosling earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the Greta Gerwig film.The father of two later shared what his daughters thought when he brought them to the dress rehearsal for his now-viral performance.“Dad’s Ken-ning again,” Gosling joked.

told Esquire. “I love Jimmy Kimmel. I think he’s a national treasure.”During Kimmel’s monologue at the 2024 Academy Awards in March, the late-night host took aim at Downey’s past drug use.“This is the highest point of Robert Downey Jr.’s long and illustrious career,” Kimmel, 56, said.

450 Jewish creatives and professionals in Hollywood are denouncing “Zone of Interest” director Jonathan Glazer’s speech from the 2024 Oscars.In his speech, Glazer, 58, drew parallels between Nazi Germany and the ongoing conflict in Gaza.“We refute our Jewishness being hijacked for the purpose of drawing a moral equivalence between a Nazi regime that sought to exterminate a race of people, and an Israeli nation that seeks to avert its own extermination,” the open letter, which was obtained by The Post, read. “Every civilian death in Gaza is tragic.

It’s been a week since the 96th Oscars came to a rushed close and it turned out to be a big “whew” for The Academy. Despite some unfortunate discourse over Jonathan Glazer‘s acceptance speech, this awards season ended with no serious controversies, no embarrassing upsets, and an uptick in television ratings (whether it’s enough for ABC to pay big bucks for the telecast remains to be seen).

“The Zone of Interest,” revealed Friday that he does not support the acceptance speech made by director Jonathan Glazer at the 2024 Oscars. In the speech, Glazer, 58 drew parallels between Nazi Germany and the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Kevin Costner officially responded to John Mulaney’s take of his 1989 movie “Field of Dreams” after the comedian poked fun at the baseball flick during the 2024 Oscars. “Not a bad summary, @johnmulaney.,” the “Yellowstone” actor, 69, commented on a now-deleted Instagram Story.

Lily Gladstone officially broke her silence after losing the highly coveted Oscar for Best Actress to “Poor Things” lead Emma Stone.“Feeling the love big time today, especially from Indian Country,” the “Killers of the Flower Moon” star posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday. “Kittō”kuniikaakomimmō”po’waw — seriously, I love you all.” The actress — who made history by being the first Native American to be nominated in the Best Actress category — joked that she didn’t walk away totally empty-handed.

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.

It wouldn’t be an Academy Award ceremony without some controversy. While Emma Stone’s (“Poor Things”) Best Actress win over Lily Gladstone (“Killers Of The Flower Moon”) caused a lot of drama over social media, one of the biggest blunders—or what some suspected to be one— was around the presentation of The Best Picture award.

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.

Ozempic and Wegovy are Hollywood’s drugs of choice — so did anyone use them in preparations for the 2024 Oscars? The Daily Mail spoke with Dr. Gary Motykie, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, about A-listers looking “slimmed down” at Sunday’s awards show more than in previous years. The speculation comes after Oprah Winfrey, 70, trimmed herself off WeightWatchers’ board of directors after admitting to using a prescription weight loss medication.

The official Nielsen fast national ratings for the 96th Academy Awards came a bit later than usual Monday afternoon, but, in general, it was good news for AMPAS and its broadcast network ABC. This year’s Oscars telecast drew an average of 19.5 million viewers.

Jennifer Lawrence admitted falling not once, but twice, at the Oscars could seem like a bit rather than a real series of unfortunate events. “Chicken Shop Date” host and Oscars Ambassador Amelia Dimoldenberg jokingly asked Lawrence, 33, Sunday at the 2024 Oscars if she had any “tips” for future winners on “not falling up the stairs” as she famously did in 2013. “Well, yeah, just don’t do that,” Lawrence quipped.

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.

It wasn’t just awards being handed out last night at the 96th Academy Awards. As is customary, for the Oscar ceremony, all of the Best Original Song contenders were able to perform their nominated tunes live on stage.

The 96th Academy Awards ceremony was held on Sunday, March 10th, in Los Angeles at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. And, of course, the “In Memoriam” is always a notable section, known for producing tears but also jeers at all the omissions that seem to occur each year.

After a long awards season, thankfully without much of an Oscar villain to speak of, the 96th Academy Awards were held last night, and Academy trophies were bestowed on all the winners. Those victories obviously came with a fleet of emotional and earnest acceptance speeches (see below).
