John Cena appearing (nearly) naked onstage at the 2024 Academy Awards was easily one of the best, most fun moments of the evening. Host Jimmy Kimmel reminded folks that it was the 50th anniversary of the “Oscars streaker” who ran onstage naked as David Niven was presenting an award. Which led us to this ‘Hall of Fame’ moment. Good on John Cena for handling the joke so well. https://youtu.be/N907J4q1Cuw?si=NRTzipcQsXF2_slc Another highlight – and I’m not a big Barbie movie guy – was Ryan Gosling’s way over the top “I’m Just Ken” performance choreographed by Mandy Moore. This is how you win the Oscars without winning an Oscar. https://youtu.be/fo6T5BwxFh0?si=2ySF-gL6LC5klDF9 Jimmy Kimmel was on point throughout the evening, but he topped himself with this late-in-the-evening joke after reading a social media review from the former guy: https://twitter.com/realTomChapman/status/1767150327768268933 More great moments: • Beginning the evening by bringing the crew onstage and acknowledging their work • Oscar winner (Best Writing – Adapted Screenplay) Cord Jefferson’s plea for people to give indie filmmakers a chance • Ukraine documentary 20 Days in Mariupol becoming the country’s first-ever Oscar win • Having past acting category winners introduce this year’s nominees individually https://twitter.com/THR/status/1766969803875488104 https://twitter.com/THR/status/1766988222763086080 https://twitter.com/THR/status/1767012214488117273 https://twitter.com/THR/status/1767008644862714320 According to The Hollywood Reporter, last night was the most watched Academy Awards in four years.
