From hosting his tonight show and now to the Oscars it’s Jimmy Kimmel who has hosted the Oscars now four times! The awards have been given, the nominees have been celebrated, and the performances have been watched.
Some of the main nominees considered by the academy this year were Barbie, Oppenheimer, Maestro, Killers of the Flower Moon, Poor Things, and Anatomy of a Fall. Although one stood out among the rest which was…Oppenheimer which was awarded seven Oscars in total including the title of best picture and cinematography!
Although, Oppenheimer’s rival in the box office Barbie also won in one of its eight nominations for original song “What Was I Made For” by Billie Eilish which she performed alongside her brother Finneas. Another performance that was very enticing was Ryan Gosling’s of “I’m Just Ken.” According to cbsnews.com, “other performances of the night included Jon Batiste that performed “It Never Went Away” from American Symphony, Becky G with her performance of “The Fire Inside” from Flamin Hot, Scott George and the Osage Singers performing “Wahzhazhe (A Song For My People)” from Killers of the Flower Moon.”
Now a special congratulations to both Emma Stone and Cillian Murphy who won leading actress and actor in a leading role, but also to Robert Downey Jr. and Da’Vine Joy Randolph for actor and actress in a supporting role.
All nominees were outstanding in their parts as well and should also be given a shout out. Alongside all the guests and nominees was shown appreciation to the staff working behind the scenes for their efforts to ensure the perfect effects for both the performances and acceptances of the Oscars. .
With all these awards given out someone must set the scene for them and there were many chosen to present these honorable achievements, according to radiotimes.com, “some of the people that presented some of the Oscars during the night were Steven Spielberg, Al Pacino, Ariana Grande, Ryan Gosling, Zendaya, and John Mulaney.” Some presentations being more enticing and some being more scripted.
The Oscars can be watched on Hulu according to cbsnews.com. Although it may seem long the performances are worth watching, it is over three hours long! Originally it was hosted on Sunday, March 10th and as the night ended so did the 96th Academy Awards ceremony.
