Ryan Goslings Performance

It was the absolute highlight of this year’s Oscar night: Ryan Gosling with his “I’m Just Ken” appearance. In a pink sparkly suit, he danced back and forth between the hall and the stage, got his “Barbies” and Emma Stone to sing – she then ruined her dress – and finally brought in Slash (yes, the real one!) for a guitar Solo out. You can find the video below in the ticker.

Emma Stone almost seemed a little shocked when she was announced as the winner in the “Best Actress” category. Maybe because she knew that the entire audience in the hall and at home would now see her torn dress. But she sorted things out charmingly as always, presented her mishap to the room, blamed Ryan Gosling (see above) and then began her tearful speech.

Sandra “Hooler”? Or “Huehler”? Various variations of pronunciation could be heard on Oscar night. Sandra Hülser didn’t win an Oscar, but she was still a topic all evening long. First of all because of her striking black dress with huge lapels, next to which many other appearances faded away. What does the shape represent, is it wings or Baby Yoda’s ears? Then also because she was visibly moved when “her” films won awards: “Anatomie d’une chute” was honored for the original screenplay, “The Zone of Interest” was honored as best international film and for the sound. When the author duo Justine Triet and Arthur Harari accepted their award for “Anatomie d’une chute,” Hülser was seen sitting in the audience in tears.

John Cena is a wrestler and actor. Above all, he is very funny. He presented the Oscars for costume design naked, wearing only the winner’s envelope as a fig leaf. “Costumes are sooooo important,” he said.
5. Gag machine Jimmy Kimmel

The late-night host hosted the Oscars for the fourth time and was promptly criticized by Donald Trump: He was the worst Oscar host ever, the ex-president wrote on his Truth Social platform. The show is “politically correct, boring and unfair,” Trump continued. Kimmel read the verdict on the show and countered: “Isn’t it past your jail time?”, which means something like “Shouldn’t you be in prison by now?” As a gag machine, Kimmel left no stone unturned; his jokes were solid and safe. During the course of the evening he invented a nice word: “oppenhammered”. It stands for everyone who gets drunk over the joy of the prices for “Oppenheimer”.

Last year’s summer blockbuster started with eight nominations, but in the end there was just enough for a single win for the best song (“What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish). But the way director Greta Gerwig and leading actress Margot Robbie sang along to “I’m Just Ken” meant they had a lot of fun either way. It’s kenough.

Messi – not the footballer, but the actor dog from “Anatomie d’une Chute” – was also sitting in the hall. And clapped along enthusiastically.
