The 96th Academy Awards, held in Los Angeles, saw Hollywood’s finest come together to celebrate the best in film. Christopher Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer’ stole the show by winning seven Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. Star Cillian Murphy used his acceptance speech to dedicate his win to peacemakers around the world.
In a surprising twist, Robert Downey Jr. took home his first-ever Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. However, it was Ryan Gosling’s performance of ‘I’m Just Ken’ from ‘Barbie’ that truly captivated the audience. Unfortunately, Emma Stone suffered a wardrobe malfunction during Gosling’s performance, adding a bit of unexpected drama to the evening.
Not to be outdone, John Cena made headlines by presenting an Oscar nearly nude, a nod to a famous streaking incident at the 1974 Oscars. The ceremony was not without its serious moments, as geopolitical issues such as Ukraine and Gaza were brought to the forefront both inside and outside the theater.
Journalist Mstyslav Chernov used his platform to call for peace in Ukraine, while protesters gathered outside the venue to demand a ceasefire in Gaza. And in a lighter moment, Jimmy Kimmel read a mean tweet from former President Donald Trump, poking fun at his own hosting abilities.
Overall, the 96th Academy Awards was a night to remember, showcasing both the glamour of Hollywood and the importance of addressing pressing global issues. Stay tuned to Guam News Factor for more updates on the world of entertainment.
