Do you want to see what the world is really like? Yes,
I find the world a complicated place.
Three.
We imagine a future, too, in our imaginings horrify us.
Stop.
There's going to be some changes made.
I love people so much.
It's hard for me to be a little fella.
I need you here.
People want to love you.
You should let them love all of you.
Humans only have one ending.
Ideas do forever.
Imagine knowing that you could do something
that only you could do.
The world.
But remember this day.
Close your eyes.
Now. Feel.
You're so beautiful.
I know.
I was just thinking that
I haven't eaten in three weeks.
I'm so hungry.
I have to go host the Oscars.
Live from the Dome
in Hollywood.
Please welcome tonight's host, Jimmy Kimmel.
Hi, everybody.
Well, it's very nice.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for that partial standing ovation.
And welcome to the 96th Oscars, everybody.
Look at these beautiful human actors.
What an honor it is to be here.
Thank you for having me back.
And congratulations to each and every one of you
for making it to the Academy Awards and for making it on time.
The show, as you know, is starting an hour early this year.
But don't worry, it will still and very, very late.
In fact, we're already 5 minutes over.
And I am not joking.
I'm not going to lie.
It's going to be a long night after what was a long year.
It was a hard year, but it was also a great year for movies.
Despite the fact that everything stopped the people in this room
somehow managed to come up with so many excellent films
and so many memorable performances.
This night is full of enormous talent and untold potential, but so was Madam Web.
So who knows?
Are we off to a bumpy start?
Okay.
This is a meaningful occasion for most of you.
I know that.
And I know that winning an Oscar
is something you dreamed about since you were a kid.
And now here we are, all dressed up, celebrating
the best of the best, beginning with the biggest movie of the year.
Barbie.
Barbie was a monster hit.
What a thing.
What an achievement to take a plastic doll nobody even liked anymore.
I mean, my wife.
Before this movie,
you'd have had a better chance of getting my wife to buy our daughter
a pack of Marlboro Reds than a Barbie doll.
Now, Barbie's a feminist icon, thanks to
Greta Gerwig, who many believe deserved to be nominated for best director.
Hello.
I know you're clapping, but you're the ones who didn't vote for
her, by the way.
Don't act like you had nothing to do with this.
And I don't want to leave out Margot.
Robbie.
Margot, put this giant hit together. Me?
You did? Margot.
Robbie and Ryan Gosling are here tonight.
Look, kids, it's Barbie and Ken sitting just near each other.
Ryan.
Margot, I want you to know that even if neither one of you wins
the Oscar tonight, you've both already won something much more important.
The genetic lottery.
Ryan, you are so hot.
Let's go camping together and not tell our wives.
And then we have the other major box office winner This year,
Oppenheimer directed by the great Christopher
Nolan, also a very attractive man.
And this is a very it's a fascinating person.
Christopher Nolan doesn't have a smartphone.
He doesn't use email.
He and he writes his scripts on a computer with no Internet connection,
which is a powerful way of saying, I will not allow my porn addiction
to get in the way of my work.
Christopher is joined by his longtime
collaborator, Kilian Murphy, who is just wonderful.
Kilian is
interesting fact about his name.
It's pronounced Kilian.
When he does drama.
When he does comedy, it's Cillian
and congratulate Sicilians costar Robert Downey Jr, who is this
night is
this is the highest point
of Robert Downey Junior's long and illustrious career.
Well, one of the highest points,
but Robert has been a
was too on the nose was out a drug motion you may
but look at him
I mean look at this guy He's so handsome, so talented.
He's won every award there is to win.
Is that an acceptance speech in your pocket or do you just have
a very rectangular penis?
What a story.
Not even 20 years ago, things weren't going that great for Robert.
He played the villain.
And correct me if I have this wrong
in a movie where Tim Allen turns into a dog, Right?
And if you ever decide to remake that film, I'm
just the guy to play Tim Allen that is.
Where is he?
Messy, who,
even though he's a dog,
may have given the performance of the year in Anatomy of a Fall mess?
He has an overdose scene.
If you've seen it, you know, it is incredible.
Honestly, I haven't seen a French actor eat vomit like that since Gerard Depardieu,
the second most nominated movie of the year
is Poor Things, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos,
various.
Not only is Yorgos
nominated for best director, his editor, whose name is also Yorgos.
Yorgos Rob. Sarita is nominated too.
We have to Yorgos is in the house tonight.
Will they both win?
Yorgos is as good as mine.
All right,
let's get 20 seconds for room tone.
Emma Stone is an Oscar nominee for a fifth time, right?
The fifth time this year.
And she is. Emma, you are.
You are so unbelievably great in four things.
Emma played an adult woman with the brain of a child like the lady
who gave the rebuttal to the State of the Union on Thursday night and.
And you were just amazing.
There are so many great movies that held audiences captive this year,
and I mean that literally.
Your movies were too long this year.
The average length of the top ten movies was 2 hours and 23 minutes.
That's up 30 minutes from three years ago.
When I went to see Killers of the Flower Moon.
I had my mail forwarded to the theater.
Killers of the
Flower Moon is so long in the time it takes you to watch it,
you could drive to Oklahoma and solve the murder of yourself.
The multi-talented Brad Bradley Cooper is here with us
tonight with his He's got another best picture nominee.
Maestro Bradley, you brought your mom to the show tonight.
Hi, Mrs. Cooper. How are you?
You're doing good. Great.
Bradley brings his mother to every award show, right?
Who's dated last year at the Oscars at not Okay, but
and the Tonys and the Soul Train Awards, etc..
It's very sweet.
But I guess the question is, how many times can one bring his mom
as his date before he is actually dating his mom?
Are you working on a movie about Freud right now and not telling us?
Here's some fun Oscar trivia.
48 years ago, Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster were nominated
for Taxi Driver and they are both nominated again tonight.
1976 was the
one that's 23.
In 1976,
Jodie Foster is young enough to be Robert De Niro's daughter.
Now she's 20 years too old to be his girlfriend.
I also want to congratulate Robert's costar Lily Gladstone,
who is the first Native American ever
to be nominated for best actress
and see
for Killers of the Flower Moon.
And if you saw it, you know, that year was riveting.
And did you know that before she got this movie,
Lily was ready to quit acting and take a job at the Department
of Agriculture tracking murder Hornets, right?
Yeah.
And now she's nominated for an Oscar, which is so great for her,
but also makes me worry that no one's tracking these murder hornets.
Lily is an excellent company.
We have many first time acting nominees tonight, including Emily Blunt,
Jeffrey Wright, Sterling K Brown,
America Ferrera, America.
Daniel Brooks, Colman Domingo,
David Joy Randolph, and Sandra Bullock.
For the first time ever, three foreign language films are up
for best Picture, and two of them star Sandra Huler, which is
in Sandra
two movie Sandra plays a woman on trial for murdering her husband
in Anatomy of a Fall
and a Nazi housewife living next to Auschwitz in the zone of interest.
And while these are very heavy subjects for American moviegoers
in Sandra's native Germany, they're called romcoms.
For the first time in
more than two decades, we're adding a new category to the Oscars.
Not tonight.
Don't worry.
In the future, they will be adding an Oscar for achievement in casting,
which, yeah, you better you'd better applaud for that.
And that is great news for actors because now not only will be able
to watch someone else win an Oscar for a part you didn't get,
you'll also be able to watch the person who didn't think you were right for it.
Win one, too.
What a year we've had.
It was a tough year.
Remember that kid from the fable means this is what he looks like now.
Very good to have you here, Steven.
Stephen, are you nominated tonight or are you here because you have season
tickets?
Steven and his wife, Kate Capshaw, donated a lot of money
to help actors and writers who are out of work over the summer.
We were on strike for a long time for 148 days.
For five months, this group of writers, actors,
directors, the people actually make the film said, We will not accept a deal.
Well, not the directors.
You guys folded immediately, but the rest of us
said we will not accept the deal without protections
against artificial intelligence.
And as a result, actors no longer have to worry about getting replaced by A.I..
Thanks to this historic agreement, actors are now able to go back
to worrying about being replaced by younger, more attractive people.
And I think that's great. And writers.
I have written Transformers Rise of the Beasts.
Yes, the answer is yes.
We learned a lot while we were out on those picket lines.
This strike raised existential questions about our industry,
like if a movie premieres at The Grove and there are no actors there to promote it.
Does Mario Lopez make us sound?
And now that the strike is over,
now that Fran Drescher
has returned to her volunteer work, reading loudly to the hearing impaired,
we can be proud of the fact that this long and difficult work stoppage taught us
that this very strange town of ours, as pretentious
and superficial as it can be at its heart, is a union town.
It's not just a bunch of heavily Botoxed, Hailey, Bieber, smoothie,
drinking, diabetes, prescription abusing, gluten sensitive nympho
babies with perpetually shivering Chihuahuas.
This is a coalition of strong, hardworking,
mentally tough American laborers, women and men who had 100%
for sure die if we even had to touch the handle of a shovel.
But the reason we were able to make a deal
is because of the people who rally beside us.
So before we celebrate ourselves,
let's have a very well deserved round of applause for the people who work
behind the scenes the Teamsters, the truck drivers, the lighting for sound
gaffers, grips.
That's why all the people refused to cross the picket lines.
Here they are.
If you're wearing Sketchers to the Oscars, take a bow.
Come on, guys.
Take a bow.
Applebaum, you deserve it.
Thank you for standing with us.
And also, we want you to know that
in your upcoming
negotiations, we will stand with you, too.
And also, I'm going to make sure this show was really long tonight.
So you get a ton of overtime.
It's golden time, everybody.
Should we give out some Oscars?
All right.
We have surprises planned
for each of the acting categories tonight, five surprises, in fact.
And we're going to kick it off with the Oscar for actress in a supporting role
in the Oscar days
to Mary Steenburgen, Lupita Nyong'o, Jamie Lee,
Rita moreno, Regina King.
So I am thrilled to be back on this stage
to present this year's best Supporting Actress Oscar.
And I am beyond proud to be able to talk
about one of my besties
so inspired Jodie Foster brings a physical intensity
coupled with deep concern and care as Bonnie Stoll to Diana
Nyad's fierce best friend, motivator and serious ask kicker.
And speaking from personal experience,
All of those qualities are very real about Jodie as well.
There is no one you would rather have your back
than the multitalented Jodie Foster
in the last moments of Oppenheimer.
Emily Blunt character Kitty Fisher.
Oppenheimer refuses to shake the offered
hand of the man who betrayed her husband.
Though it was years later, her eyes have lost none of their fury.
If you saw only that extraordinary moment,
you wouldn't know why Emily Blunt is nominated tonight.
Emily, I am so proud to be your friend.
And I am shaking my head in wonder at the beautiful,
heartbreaking and hell bent DAX that you brave to play.
Kitty Oppenheimer.
When we meet
Mary in the cafeteria in the hold overs,
we can feel the unspoken grief simmering under her surface.
Divine, my friend, your performance is a tribute
to those who have helped others heal in spite of their own pain.
It's also a tribute to your grandmother, whose glasses you wore in the film.
What an honor to see the world through her eyes and yours,
America.
Maddie. God,
you're powerful.
Barbie monologue is perhaps the most talked about moment
in the most talked about movie of the past year.
Your words
and the passion with which you deliver them
about the most impossible standards
females must try to live up to galvanized not only women,
but everyone with a pulse of
America
from one woman to another.
Congratulations on your tour de force.
Danielle Brooks.
When you were 15 and saw The Color
Purple on Broadway with your father, a spark ignited in you.
And that spark brought you here today
from making your Broadway debut ten years later as Sophia, too.
Almost ten years after that, giving
this transcendent performance on the big screen.
We don't just see Sophia's strength,
but we see her vulnerability as well.
You you have earned this
full circle moment, my friend.
And the Oscar goes to divine.
So this is the first Oscar win
and nomination for Deadline's award winning
God is so good.
You know, I am
I didn't think I was supposed to be doing this as a career.
I started off as a singer
and my mother said to me,
Go across the street to that theater department.
There's something for you there.
And I thank my mother for doing that.
I thank you to all the people who have stepped in my path
and has been there for me, who has ushered me and guided me.
I am so grateful to all you beautiful people out here
for for so long.
I've always wanted to be different.
And now I realize I just need to pinch myself.
And I thank you.
I thank you for seeing me,
Rhonda.
Then, Lou, I thank you.
Well, I was the only black girl in that class
when you saw me and you told me I was enough.
And when I told you I don't see myself, you said, That's fine.
We're going to forge our own path.
You're going to lay a trail for yourself.
I am so grateful to all the women who have been by my side.
Colleen Kemp, Barbara Broccoli, Tracy Brennan, Sarah Fargo.
I have to give a special shout out to my publicist.
And I know y'all said don't say that, but no publicist.
But you don't have a publicist like I have a publicist.
You have been by my side of the entire thing.
And I am forever grateful.
I pray to God that I get to do this more than once.
I thank you for seeing me have a blessed night.
Thank you so much.
Coming up next,
Chris Hemsworth and Anya TAYLOR-JOY gets the Oscar.
Live from the Dolby Theater at Ovation
Hollywood,
please.
It's Christmas.
At least pretend to be a human being.
Do you think I want to be babysitting you?
I could have been spending the rest of my vacation reading mystery novels.
You don't tell a boy that's been left behind at Christmas
that you're going to cut him loose.
I find the world a bitter and complicated place.
I think you and I have this in common.
You can do this.
You know, I was going to tell you something.
And Baba Vali to you.
Good, sir.
And by the way, congratulations.
The day by Joy Randolph.
That was about your Oscar.
Very sweet, beautiful speech.
You know, you forgot to mention your publicist's name.
I think
your publicist needs a publicist, is what it is.
Yeah.
Okay.
You shouldn't have to pay for the rest of the year at least.
Great story about Divine.
Divine.
Had to learn how to smoke for her role in the holdovers.
Her director, Alexander Payne, mailed her boxes of fake cigarets
so she could practice when she didn't think the fake ones look.
Right. Right.
So she started smoking real cigarets.
And now she has an Oscar.
You see, kids, sometimes smoking is fine.
And by the way, I do want to say,
for those of you who do not win an Oscar, I need you to stick around.
After the show, we'll be giving out the silver Oscars
for second place after an all new Abbott Elementary.
So please stay.
Our next awards are for animated feature and animated short.

Then later, Billie Eilish performs a nominated storm song from Barbie.
It's the Oscars here on ABC.
And we must experience everything,
not just the food,
but degradation of that happiness.
This makes us hopeful
and reaching out that we're
a living.
And the world.
The world is ours.
I am finding being a life fascinating.
Those were all the parts of four
things we're allowed to show on TV.
I'm not really the boy in the hair and people couldn't make it.
I mean, I could see maybe the boy not showing up, but the parents should be here.
All right.
Next, Oscars are for Best Original and Adapted Screenplay,
which is actually a controversial category this year
because a lot of people want to know at what age do you tell a screenplay?
It was adapted.
Our next presenters have been
best friends for almost 30 years, and that all ends tonight.
Please welcome two time Oscar nominee Melissa McCarthy and Oscar winner
Octavia Spencer.
The original screenplays
and adapted screenplays are cut from the same cloth.
They're similar. Yet they remain unique.
Yet each artform maintains its individual characteristics.
Kind of like us, right?
I mean, we do our old things.
We also do our things together.
We're like the Chippendale of showbiz, right?
Yeah. Yeah.
I don't see us as the Lycra pant pelvic thrust type.
Well, speak for yourself.
But what are you telling me? I said Chippendale.
You said Chippendales? No.
Oh, no.
I mean Chip and Dale. Chip in.
Come, Dale. And you're saying Chippendales.
So I thought you were saying in nails.
Chip and Dale.
Well, usually I am saying it one day, but not.
Not now because it's. That would be weird.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Why don't we just
read what the brilliant writers wrote for us?
Oh. Oh.
Look, I know that there's a
there's a script on the thing, and it has my name up there. Look at.
Oh, it's in yellow. Yes.
To make a script really come to life, the writer must not only capture
the audience's hearts, but take MONTAGNE Easily entertain and surprise.
Wow. That is better when it's much better.
It's better written, much better.
Better in guys, Much better written.
Here are the nominees for Best Original Screenplay,

thank you.
Oh, okay.
Thank.
Thank you so much.
Well, uh, it will help me through my midlife crisis.
I think,
uh, this is a crazy year.
Um, anyway, this is great movie tonight.
Contrast slightly. We've
we've only wanted to start before
we were stuck in the house with two kids.
It was a lockdown, and we hook them up to cartoons to have peace.
And, uh, yeah, there is no line,
I think, between work and diapers and.
And then along came two other people,
a woman and a man, the Producers, Marian's Luciani and everything.
And, uh, yeah,
and they actually, that's when things got a little crazy.
It was like mixed doubles, ping pong, played by neurotic French or something.
And. But there was nothing between us or above us,
only total independence and freedom.
And that's the only way we could make that film.
So that's what
I want to think of.
The cast of Cassandra
Swann Miller, one of the cast for what you did on On said he was killed.
The script on set and it's that's what we we
that the best for for writers for directors.
Thank you so much.

And my God,
look at this is Thank you much.
Thank you so much.
It's really this means the world to me.
Thank you so much to the academy.
Thank you so much to everybody who worked on the film.
Yeah, I've been talking a lot about how many people passed on this movie
and discussing it, and I worry that that sometimes sounds vindictive
and I don't want to be vindictive. I'm not a vindictive person anymore.
I've worked very hard to not be vindictive anymore and it's more a plea.
It's a plea to acknowledge and recognize that there are
so many people out there who want the opportunity that I was given.
And this is a I understand that
this I only got 6 seconds, please.
I understand that this is a risk averse industry.
I get it.
But $200 million movies are also a risk, you know, and
and it doesn't always work out, but you take the risk anyway.
And instead of making one $200 million movie, try making $2,010 million movies
or or 5050, right.
$54 million movies like you can, there are so many people.
I just feel so much joy being here.
I mean, I felt so much joy making this movie
and I want other people to experience that joy and they are out there.
I promise you, the next Martin Scorsese is out there.
The next great, great is out there.
Both Great is the next, the next Christopher Nolan's out there.
I promise you.
They just want a shot and we can give them one.
And this has changed my life.
Thank all. Who worked on this movie for.
For trusting a 40 year old black guy.
He'd never directed anything before.
It has changed my life. Thank you, sir. I love you all. Thank you so much.
Well, performing
the Oscar nominated song, What Was I Made For From Barbie?
Here are Billie Eilish, Finneas O'Connell.

girls like
I said.
Oh, oh,

I, I don't know.

the hundred

This is made for
reason.
My 400.
The cousin.

Here's what's coming up next.
Catherine O'Hara and Michael Keaton.
And then later, Marion,
we find out who wins for best supporting actor.
Oh, yes,
He's done that over tons.
What a good story.
This is childhood sweethearts who reconnect 20 years later,
only to realize they were meant for each other.
If two strangers walk by each other in the street
and their clothes accidentally brush, it's because there have been 8000
layers of union between them.
Here are Catherine O'Hara
and Oscar nominee Michael Keaton.
We actors
can't imagine a world without makeup and hairstyling and production design.
Oh, no, no, no.
The last thing we want is anyone knowing what we really look like
or the squalor in which we actually live.
You know, almost every job and an immediate
intimacy with the good people in the makeup and hair trailer.
You meet them and discuss the character's look, and before you know it,
they're plucking your nose hairs
or rubbing foundation into your cleavage or spackling those 11 holes in your skull
from result of that teenage mishap of the nail gun.
Oh, if I had a nickel, I could go on.
Here are the nominees for
makeup and hairstyling

Tonight
is the 50th anniversary of what used to be the craziest moment
in Oscar history at the 46th Academy Awards.
1974 David Niven was in the middle of introducing
Elizabeth Taylor when a nude man, a streaker, ran across the straight stage.
Can you imagine if a nude
man ran across the stage today?
I said, Can you imagine
if a nude man ran across the stage today?
Wouldn't that be crazy?
But I can't come there.
I'll do the thing.
Excuse me for a second.
What's going on?
You're supposed to run across the stage.
I changed my mind.
I don't want to do this tricky business.
You mean you don't want to do the streaker?
But anymore we're doing it.
Just don't feel right about it.
It's no good event.
You know, I'm so used to feel shame right now for suggesting such a tasteless idea.
Oh, supposed to be funny.
The male body is not a joke.
Mine is.
No, it's not.
You wrestle naked? Why not?
You know I don't wrestle naked. I wrestle Jorts
Jorts are worse than naked.
Come on.
You're really not going to do this?
If I just give out the award, then got a worst
costumes.
They are so important.
Maybe the most important thing there is.
I can't open the envelope without the.

Hi, everyone.
Thank you for this.
Thank you to the Academy
completely for not giving what's inside.
Thank you, Academy.
Thank you to, um.
Sorry. This again. My fellow nominees.
It's an amazing privilege to be in the same room as you all.
You all the people who
inspired me to be a costume designer in the first place, and I wasn't
poor things was a very rare opportunity to be really free
and artistic in a creative process as a costume designer.
Thank you, Yorgos, for that opportunity
and for making such bold and brave and idiosyncratic work that you are.
Thank you to the cast.
You were such a joy to work with.
You all took every every idea I threw at
you and just ran with it and embraced it with such humor.
Thank you to Emma Stone for giving us Bella Baxter
and bringing her into the world.
Thank you to my amazing costume team.
We all met in Budapest.
We'd never worked together before.
We have many Hungarians, a few Brits.
It was Mid-Pandemic.
We had masks, we had translators.
It's very hard to describe the brief to everybody, and somehow
we all managed to make it work somehow.
Thank you to Tony McNamara for
always supporting my work.
I really appreciate it.
Thank you.
To Searchlight Pictures Element Pictures for making this all happen.

It's the Oscars live from the Dolby Theater
at Ovation Hollywood.
Oh, Sage
had oil on when in this Money star comment.
But we should have known it came with something else.
Most films out here
and some do things right.
Most men
haven't done nothing wrong in this world.
Have you told all the truths
about
what?
Oh, no, no.
Please welcome Dwayne Johnson and Bad Bunny.
And after that scene is rolling.
Well, when you get to San Carlos, Ellen's kind of spooning Hooters.
Beautifully said.
You see, he's not such a bad bunny.
Happy birthday, brother Garcia.

Thank you so much.
I'm going to read a
thank you to the Academy for this honor and to our partners
A24 film for Access and the Polish Film Institute to the Auschwitz-Birkenau
State Museum for their trust and guidance to my producers, actors, collaborators.
All our choices were made to reflect and confront us in the present.
Not to say, Look what they did then, rather look what we do now.
Our film shows where dehumanization leads at its worst.
It shaped all of our past and present.
Right now we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness
in the Holocaust, being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict
for so many innocent people, whether the victims
of October, the four,
whether the victims of October the seventh in Israel or the ongoing attack on Gaza,
all the victims of this humanization, how do we resist?
Alexandra Bistro and Carlotta Check.
The girl who plays in the film as she did in life, chose
to dedicate this to her memory and her resistance.
Thank you.
Please welcome to tonight's Oscar nominees
Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling.
Oh, hello, Emily. Wow.
It is a frosty hello.
And not at all.
No, I'm just happy that we can finally put this Barb and Hammer rivalry behind us.
That's right.
Is Ken and Kitty just leaving all that fodder?
The dust, skies, rain
and the
way this awards season's turned out wasn't that much of a rivalry.
So just let it go.
So it's true.
You guys are doing very well, you know.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
But, you know, I think I kind of figured out
why they call it Barb and Hammer, and they didn't call it up.
And Barbie y.
Well, I think you guys are at the tail end of that because you are right
in Barbie's coattails all summer.
Thanks for Ken splaining.
That to me.
All right, Mr..
I need to paint my abs on to get nominated.
You don't see Robert, don't you? Kidding?
You kidding?
Did not paint is This is insane.
Emily, this has got to stop.
We have to squash this.
We're here to celebrate the stunt community massively. Yes.
They've been such a crucial part of our industry since the beginning of cinema.
It's true.
They are truly the unsung heroes who risk life and limb for cinema.
Playback
three So what action?
Chaplin Lloyd Keaton.
Cinema's first directors were all stunt men
in their own right, and action was the lifeblood of their story.
The Academy's history runs deep with the incredible
work of the fearless artisans of the stunt community,
and every award season features their work
in every genre,
from Butch and Sundance
to Black Panther, from the depths of space
to the battlefields of Earth and beyond.
Stunt performers and the action they designed continue to create
some of the most memorable moments in the history of cinema.
And they've been doing it from the start
and John
to the stunt performers and the stunt coordinators
who help make movies Magic, we salute you.
Coming up, the award for supporting actor.
And then later, a reunion you won't want to miss.
I thought I might stay over tonight.
To do what?
I'm actually sure.
Oh, it's girls night.
Hi, Barney.
Hi, Ken.
Watch me,
Barbie.
Hi. I'm weird Barbie.
I in the splits.
I have a funky haircut, and I smell like basement.
Oh, I want to be part of the people that makes meaning,
Not the thing that's made today.
Hi, everybody.
You guys all right? You're hanging in.
Everybody okay?
Apparently, a lot of people watching at home are just just turning it on.
And they're upset because they thought the show started at 5:00, like usually does.
So, anyway the producers and I just talked and we think
the best thing to do is to start the show over again.
So let's take it from the top.
Everybody take it on one. No, we're not.
You know, we're like an hour and a half into the show.
If this was an AMC theater, the movie would just be starting right now.
Our next category is for actor, a supporting role.
And we have a whole bunch of Oscar winners to support it.
Please welcome your best supporting actors.
And the Oscar goes to
Sam Rockwell, Tim Robbins, Craig Franklin, Crystal Balls,
Mahershala Ali.
It is
an honor for us to be here to pay tribute
to the nominees for actor in a supporting role.
Sterling,
I know you always
has been a long journey to get to this night.
I can relate.
And I'm so, so happy
that you're finally being recognized by your peers, your performance
and American fiction is extraordinary and transformative,
and I am in awe.
The magic you bring on screen, it's outmatched
only that by the magic of who you are as a person.
There are actors,
and then there are actors who don't drop character
until the DVD commentary.
Talking about Robert Downey Jr
that do
Susan's husband,
the Iron Man, he can be everyman.
He always goes above and beyond.
30 years ago, and as Chaplin, he learned how to play the violin left handed.
Who does that seriously? It's obnoxious.
And now in Oppenheimer, he steals scenes from Albert
Einstein and the atomic bomb.
I love him.
You love him?
We couldn't be happier for his third Oscar nom for his amazing portrayal
as Louis Strauss.
In the course
of his brilliant career, Robert De Niro
as Steve
has teamed with Martin Scorsese
to bring us a wide range of uniquely complicated villains.
His latest performance in Killers of the Flower Moon delivers
a different type of evil, not of a mobster or a psychotic loner,
but of a business man consumed by greed and his lust for power.
Mr. De Niro, in an Oscar winning
Oscar worthy performance gives us
should be ready,
gives us a
reminder of the heart of darkness within our ancestral blood.
Congratulations to an legend.
It's not really new that certain male behavior
looks like the inferiority complex of a plastic doll in a cardboard box.
But something easy to ridicule.
So why, then, do we admire
Ryan Gosling's skin so much?
Because Ryan's portrayal of Ken allows us to.
Yeah, I admit it.
To connect.
Not. Not because it's ridiculous,
but because is funny, intelligent, hugely entertaining,
and ultimately poignant and deserving of empathy
to experience all is exactly
what we go to the movies for.
Mark Ruffalo
Over three
decades, you've captivated us with your versatility.
From drama to comedy to action.
You've defied categorization,
and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Your appetite for challenges is unmatched,
exemplified by your portrayal of Duncan Wedderburn in Poor Things,
which has rightfully earned you this nomination.
Well,
and beyond your talent, Mark,
you're simply a wonderful human being.
Thank you.
And the Oscar goes to
Robert Downey Jr.
This is the first Oscar win for Robert Downey Jr.
And he scored a nomination.
Thank you.
Thanks, Sam.
Thanks, fellows. That's amazing.
You only flubbed one line.
I'd like to thank my terrible childhood
and the academy
in that order.
I'd like to thank my veterinarian.
I meant wife
Susan Downey over there.
She found me a snarling rescue pet.
And you love me back to life.
That's why I'm here.
Thank you.
Here's my little secret.
I needed this job more than it needed me.
Chris knew it and made sure that she surrounded me
with one of the great cast and crews of all time, Emily Kelly and Matt Damon.
Blunt It was fantastic.
And I stand here before you a better man because of it.
You know, what we do is meaningful, and the stuff that we decide to make
is important.
So back to my publicist and my Philip
Raskin is here and Andrew Dunlap, my den mother.
Joy Feeley, thank you very much.
I want to thank my stylist in case no one else does.
Thanks, Erica.
Thank you very much.
And I'm just going to say this.
My entertainment lawyer, Tom
Hansen of 40 years, the half of which he spent trying to get me insured
and bailing me out of the hoosegow.
Thanks, bro.
Avery in India, this one's for you.
Robert Downey Jr just had a moment of a lifetime.
And you came to the academy in Los Angeles
where you can give your own acceptance speech.
Immerse yourself in Oscar's justice and buy one of a kind
Oscar ornaments, both in-person or online.
I need you to be precise.
Tell me everything.
The report is inconclusive.
Now, that's why an investigation for more suspicious deaths,
because you were the only person there.
And of course, you always waive that.
Stop, Stop. I did not kill him.
Please welcome
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Oscar nominee
Danny DeVito.
Nice to
hear that film being there for you, everybody.
Yeah. Yeah.

Well, Arnold and I are presenting together

team from Godzilla minus one guy
who was
already hurt
by television 40 years ago
after the shock of seeing Star Wars
and encounters of the kind
to were so far from Hollywood,
even the possibility standing on this stage
seemed out of reach.
The moment we are nominated,
we fought felt like Rocky Balboa.
We're kinda into the dying thing,
as echoed by
other
guys, by our biggest driver,
which was already a miracle.
But shall we stand
to see
all the big artists outside, outside of Hollywood?
How you do of this thing And this I like is proof
that everyone has the chance
firing

of the cast and crew of goodwill minus one.

who wins the Oscar for best actor.
Mark, your books are good, but they're not popular.
They won a black book.
Yo, Sarandon.
Girl, you'd be pregnant again.
I just want to rub their noses in it.
Actually read one of your books.
So you are the one
we believe.
Mr. Lee has written a bestseller.
It's a joke.
The most lucrative joke you've ever told.
It is very black. Yes.
I'm happy you said it and not me. You.
I strategically switched jackets
to make it impossible for them to edit me out of the show.
Congratulations to Wes Anderson, his first Oscar.
I feel like I should mention the reason why he couldn't be here tonight.
He's at home building a diorama made of corduroy. So?
But we wish him the best.
Our next presenter is not a legendary movie star,
but he does talk like he should be scolding Rita Hayworth for her insolence.
You'll see what I mean.
Here to present the Oscar for best Sound.
What are the funniest and loudest people I know?
Please welcome John Mulaney,
now the Oscar for Achievement in Sound.
You know, for years movies didn't have sound and then they figured it out.
Some people say that the silent era was the golden era of film.
These people are difficult and insane.
Without sound, we wouldn't have been able to hear such classic lines
as, You're going to need a bigger boat.
I'll have what she's having.
And he was in the Amazon with Mother
when she was researching spiders just before she died.
Or what about that moment in Field of Dreams
when we hear if you build it, he will come.
And then Costner does it. He builds a baseball field.
I guess he doesn't build that.
He mows down corn, and then there is a field
and then he's like, I'm going to watch, goes play baseball.
And the bank is like, You want to pay your mortgage?
And he's like, No, I'm going to watch guys play baseball.
And then he finds James Earl Jones, who wrote The Boat Rocker, which I thought
was a real book deep into my twenties and like, People Will Come.
Ray He's the only one with a financial plan.
But what's weird is Timothy Butterfield pushed his little Gaby Hoffman
off the bleachers and she falls down and she's unconscious.
Then Burt Lancaster is Moonlight Graham, and he comes up and he pats on the back
a couple of times and he's like, hot dog stuck in the throat.
And then he can't go back in the game because I there's a rule in ghost baseball
that if you leave the field at any point to become an elderly ghost
and do the Heimlich maneuver, you can't return to the field.
I love Field of Dreams.
That should win Best picture, though, they'll probably go
with one of this year's.
Here are the nominees
for achievement in Sound.
And the Oscar goes to the zone of interest.
Taryn Willard, Johnny Byrne,
and this is the first Oscar win and nomination for Tom Willers
and Johnny Byrne
for wow, I'm
so amazing to be standing here and
and such an extraordinary
thank you to the Academy for recognizing the art of sound in film.
Such an extraordinary year for sound and film.
Well, you guys over there in sound, and my mother wouldn't have understood this.
She she always said, What do you mean you do this out in film?
They sound right to me which is sort of, you know, But who do we need to thank?
Time to thank everybody.
We need to thank the Academy for listening to our film.
Thank you Academy.
We do thank A24.
And when you say, Jonathan, you taught me everything.
Thank you so much.
And to Oscar, Sophie and Kathy over there and to everyone at Wave Studios
and everyone at A24, Jimmy of the Matter Stash, Philip, Salima and Gretta Unanue.
Thank you.
Happy Mother's Day.
Mother's Day.
It doesn't seem to matter what I do.
Always.
Number two,
No one knows how hard I try.
Oh, I
have feelings.
I can't.
Driving me insane.
Oh, my life being so polite.
I'll alone tonight.
I'm just kidding. Anywhere.
I mean, it is in my destiny
to live and die in life for choosing beauty
and just kidding when she sees a friend
for her to see the man behind the
take his fight for me.
I want to you to dinner
time in my life.
Where the hell
is my love
in my dreams
I'm no dreamer
And you saw my
I'm just too
well set to listen.
My decision to go
for the drug treatment.
I'm Just kidding will see.
She sees the first woman.
Take her to see
your heart.
Turn five.
I'm just gonna go

I'm just
saying.
Check.
Just ahead, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.
Days later, Steven Spielberg presents the Oscar for directing,
followed by the awards for Best Actor, Actress and Best Picture.
We. There's a chance
that when we push that button,
we destroy the world.
You know, the rules don't apply to the Golden Boy.
Brilliance makes up for a lot.
The president needs to know what's next.
Next.
Maybe he thought fame could actually protect in the world.
But remember this day.
Look what I got off Ryan Gosling's body
will start the bidding at $10,000.
Oh, Bradley Cooper's mother. Yes. You said
no. This is going home with me.
Sorry, ladies.
Here to present the Oscar for Outstanding Original score and song, please welcome
Ariana Grande and two time Oscar nominee
Cynthia Erivo.
We're here
to present the Oscar for original song and original score.
A great movie song can set the mood, reveal something about a character
and help us tell a story.
And a great film score can even leave a handprint on our hearts forever.
It can ignite wonder and astonishment make us feel sadness and longing
and can even transport us to a new world somewhere over the rainbow.
What the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Oh, how wickedly subtle of you.
I do try.
And now here are the nominees for original score

And it allowed me to work and collaborate
with a wonderful wife and acclaimed violinist due in accordance.
And we
we had we recording a night and we were rushing to go home
and put our kids, Paul and Romeo, down to bed.
But the result of that was amazing.

I mean, they nearly just died a year later.
Praise the Lord. It was my chance to be near.
But now we're in the ceiling. Were my mentor.
I said you should live with your beat, Source told News Letters to us

predictability
and above all, all those
who would have loved
a real loser is somebody that's
so afraid of not winning, they don't even try.
There's only one perfect you.
And that's the view of the sky over our heads.
All we asked
for was a chance to prove ourselves a fair and impartial
opportunity.
It's what you do to the people you say you love.
That's what matters.
I don't have to see it, Daddy.
I lived in
love.
Love means never having to say you saw one.
Those don't turn us.
No, no reason to mourn from the part on earth.
You'll see those silky circle men coming to me alone.
Are you sick?
They come have me all sooner

Yeah.
Oh, oh,
we're back at the Oscars.
Well, some of us are back.
Some of the others are getting up and hammered at the bar in the lobby.
But we've only got four awards left, which shouldn't take long.
And you had it will.
But first, it's time to find out who will be named
best actor and what a lineup we've assembled to present here
with the Oscar for Best Actor.
Please welcome all five original members of NSYNC.
The Oscar goes
to Nicolas Cage, Matthew McConaughey, Brendan Fraser,
Ben Kingsley, Forest Whitaker.
We're here to speak about the great talent of this
year's five nominees for actor in a leading role.
When you see Jeffrey Wright in a film,
you instantly know
it's going to be good because he's so good.
Jeffrey in fiction,
you are funny and furious and flawed and empathetic,
and for the way that you elevate the craft, we're indebted to you.
The greats go
above and beyond in their commitment to a role.
Just as Daniel Day-Lewis stayed in character as Lincoln
this past year, Paul was so committed for the character to have a lazy eye.
He wore a soft contact lens during the entire shoot,
which made him blind in that eye while filming.
Would I have done that?
Hell, yes.
But the point is, you did do it, Paul.
You were brilliant, James.
From all
a modern day Renaissance man.
Nothing better describes you, sir.
Mr. Bradley Cooper,
who wrote,
directed, produced and acted in his latest film, Maestro.
From the script to the screen,
Bradley takes a transformative journey into becoming Leonard Bernstein,
bringing to life all the character,
charisma and complex brilliance of an American icon.
Congratulations.
Killian Murphy.
He accepted the leading role of Oppenheimer
before even reading the script,
which must have taken much courage and trust
or symbol Hotspur.
Either way,
the performance is masterful,
endowing his portrayal with layers of humanity
whilst his character created something inhuman.
It's riveting to watch.
My congratulations.
Coleman When I first worked with you
over a decade ago,
I saw that you were all brilliant, bound for greatness.
It's been exciting to watch you light up the screen over years,
most recently with your truly inspired
portrayal of civil rights leader Bayard Rustin.
Coleman would genius as an actor illuminates
the genius of an angelic troublemaker very buried in the history books.
Thankfully, Justin is getting his due.
Is Are you
coming to mingle?
And the Oscar goes to
Killian Murphy.
This is the first Oscar win
and nomination for Killian Murphy.
But I'm a little overwhelmed.
Thank you to the Academy.
Chris Nolan and Emma Thomas.
It's been the wildest, most exhilarating, most creatively
satisfying journey you've taken me on over the last 20 years.
I owe you more than, I can say.
Thank you so much.
Every single crew member, every single cast member on Oppenheimer.
You guys carried me through.
All my fellow nominees.
I remain in awe of guys. Truly.
I want to thank my incredible team.
Big shout out to Craig Banky.
Brendan Murphy.
Brendan Murphy, Mary Murphy, Yvonne, my partner
in life, and my two boys, Malachy in Ireland who are sitting up there.
I love you so much and I'm a very proud Irish man
standing here tonight. So,
you know, we made a film.
We made a film about the man who created the atomic bomb.
And for better or for worse, we are all living in Oppenheimer's world,
so I would really like to dedicate this to the peacemakers everywhere.
There being a mark
on the 30th
anniversary for it's win for Best Picture, please Welcome.
The Academy Award winning director of Schindler's List,
Steven Spielberg.
At the very best
films can do more than entertain us.
They can open our hearts to each other.
They can
show us ourselves and they can shine a light on
where we've been and make us think about where we are going.
We are so fortunate that this has a great and eclectic year
for movies and a tribute to all the places
these five nominated directors have taken
the entire world.
Justine Trigg Anatomy of a Fall.
Martin Scorsese's
Killers of the Flower Moon.
Christopher Nolan Oppenheimer.
Yorgos Lanthimos Scorsese.
Jonathan Glazer.
The Zone of Interest.
And the Oscar goes to
Christopher Nolan.
Oppenheimer
This is the first Oscar
win and eighth nomination for Christopher Nolan.
He received the first nomination for his Memento
screenplay screenplay.
Thank you.
There are so many people
who have dragged me up here.
Universal Studios, John Langley, thank you for seeing a potential in this
Kai Bird and Martin show.
And thank you for the 25 years you put to the book that this film is based on.
I have so many people to thank.
The most incredible cast Matt Damon,
Robin, Emily, Florence and so many others,
all at the top of their game, led by the incredible Killian Murphy
and a crew, some of whom are being rewarded tonight.
I can't say
enough about the incredible crew that we got together on this film.
Thank you to Chuck Roven for putting the book in my hands.
And thank you for those who been there
for me and believed in me my whole career.
Dan, Michael, my brother, Jonah, my family
and the incredible Emma Thomas producer,
producer
of all our films and all our children.
I love you
and to the Academy,
just to say movies is just a little bit over 100 years old.
I mean, imagine being there 100 years into painting or theater.
We don't where this incredible journey is going from here.
But to know that you think that I'm a meaningful part of
it means the world to me.
Thank you very much.
Coming up next,
the Oscar for best Actress and best picture.
Here on ABC.
And the Oscar goes to Sally Field,
Jennifer Lawrence, Michelle Yeoh, Charlize
Jessica Lange.
It's an honor for us
to present the award for actress in a leading role.
The amazing Sandra Color.
Is nominated for her role in Anatomy of a Fall
as a woman accused of killing her husband.
At the heart of this powerful performance is how Sandra
maintains a certain ambiguity throughout,
as if her character is capable of committing that crime.
And here we are.
Oscar night.
And I still don't know if she did it.
Curious as a puppy and hungry as a bear,
Emma Stone's brilliant Bella is unhinged and
and completely original with the fearlessness of a toddler.
She awkwardly steps into the world, awakening into her body.
And this sensation of being alive without boundaries.
It is an unforgettable and endearing character created by an actor
who is always surprising, who to be categorized and like Bella,
is completely original out and.
Lily,
you are the soul of killers of the flower moon.
Every second of your performance as Molly Burkhart is imbued
with the plight, resilience and spirit of the Osage.
Your advocacy offset is a powerful display of dedication
and leadership, illuminating and helping us reconcile
one of the darkest parts of our country's history.
Congratulations,
Annette.
I've never been stung by a jellyfish,
but seeing you endure
it multiple times made me feel like I have.
Watching you portray Diana,
Diana Nyad is an intense sensory experience.
You can taste the salt water, feel the sunburn,
and relate to the relentless determination
your work is a beautiful illustration
of how to navigate the waves and the ocean
and in life
in Maestro
Carey Mulligan radiates as Leonard Bernstein's
wife, Felicia,
the shining of piercing light
on their complicated, yet enduring love.
But this level of excellence is the norm for Carey,
for an every role she takes on, she infuses it
with a unique humanity.
Without this spectacular performance,
Maestro would not have been the movie it became.
Carey You are so deserving of this honor
and the Oscar goes to
and whistle.
This is a
nomination for Emma Stone.
She took home the first Oscar for, her leading performance in La la Land.
She is the second woman to be nominated for acting and best picture
for the same.
Oh, boy.
My dress is broken.
I think it happened during.
I'm just can.
I'm pretty sure.
Oh, boy.
This is really this is really overwhelming.
Sorry.
I am okay, But my voice is also a little gone.
Whatever.
The women on the stage, you are all incredible.
And the women in this category.
Sandra, Annette, Kerry.
Lily, I share this with you.
I in all of you.
And it has been such an honor to do all of this together.
I hope we get to keep doing more together.
I don't know what I'm saying.
Oh, my God. I'm totally okay.
The other night I was panicking,
as you can kind of see, happens a lot
that maybe something like this could happen.
And Yorgos said to me, Please take yourself out of it.
And he was right, because it's not about me.
It's about a team that came together
to make something greater than the sum of its parts.
And that is the best part about making movies
is all of us together.
And I am so deeply honored to share this with every cast member,
with every crew member, with single person who poured their love
and their care and their brilliance into the making of this film.
And Yorgos, thank you for the gift of a lifetime in Bella Baxter.
I am forever thankful for you.
Thank you for inviting all of us to be members of this team.
Thank you.
I just wait.
I just.
I know I have to wrap up, but I really just want to thank
my family, my mom, my brother, Spencer, my dad, my husband, Dave.
I love you so much.
And Most importantly, my daughter,
who's going to be three in three days and has turned our lives Technicolor.
I love you Bigger than the whole sky, my girl.
So thank you so much.
Don't look at the back of my dress.
Thank you,
guys.
Make sure we tear up that envelope so there's no confusion
with the best picture.
Hi, everyone.
I was just, you know, this this doing this show is not about me.
And I appreciate you having me is really about you and Emma
and all these great actors and actresses and filmmakers.
But I was told we have like an extra and I'm really proud of something.
I was wondering if I could share it with you.
I just got a review and
has there
ever been a worse host than Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars?
His opening was that of a less than average person
trying too hard to be something, which he is not and never can be.
Get rid of Kimmel
and perhaps replace him with another washed up a cheap ABC talent.
George Slop Annapolis.
He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger and more glamorous.
Blah, blah, blah.
Make America great again.
Yeah.
Okay.
Now see if you can guess which former president
just get down on treason.
Anyone? No.
I'll thank you.
President Trump.
Thank you for watching.
I'm surprised still, isn't it past your jail time?
It's focused on the important stuff for sure.
Before we give out the final award.
Did anyone not get a chance to give a speech?
We do have some time. You have anything you want to say?
Just line up right here.
We'll make sure everybody gets a chance to talk to us in our final word
of the evening and to commemorate the 50th anniversary of The Godfather Part two,
a man who created some of the most iconic characters in movie history.
He's an Oscar winner and a nine time nominee.
And we
so glad he was able to find a sitter so he could be here tonight
with the award for Best Picture.
Please welcome Al Pacino.
I owe my friend.
Thank you. Say,
Oh, no, I did that.
I do some Shakespeare now, I think is in order, right
to be.
No, I'm not going to do it.
Oh, no, no, no.
Sorry, world.
This is the time for the last award of the evening,
and it's my honor to present
ten wonderful films
were nominated,
but only one will take the award
for best picture.
And I have to go to the envelope for that,
and I will.
Here it comes.
And Maria, I see Oppenheimer.
Yes, Yes.
Evan Thomas. John,
what happened?
Oppenheimer has 13
nominations and has won seven Oscars tonight for actor
in a supporting role film, editing, cinematography,
original score actor in a leading role directing and best picture.
Wow. Oh,
my goodness. Wow.
I think any of us
who make movies know that you kind of dream of this moment.
You know you do, right?
I could deny it, but I have been dreaming about this moment for so long,
but it seemed so unlikely that it would ever actually happen.
And now I'm standing here and everything's of gone out of my head.
And the the reason
this movie was the movie, it was with Chris Nolan.
He is singular.
He is brilliant.
And I'm so grateful to you.
But as Emma said, this is the thing that's fantastic about our jobs
is that it's about collaboration, it's about teamwork.
And our team was just incredible on this movie.
So thank you to all of them, both cast and crew.
Thank you to Universal for supporting us.
And I want to thank
Rich Gelfond at IMAX and everybody else IMAX
for believing in this movie when that maybe
didn't make that much sense to do so
Thank you to all the theaters
as a moviegoer and as a filmmaker.
That's why why we do what we do.
So thank so much.
And to my children, Flora,
Rory, Oliver and Magnus, who's not here tonight.
Thank you.
And it's UK Mother's Day, so I'm thinking of my mum who no longer
with us today, and my mother in law, Christina, who's here with my dad.
So thank you.
Oh, and thank you to the academy.
I'm so honored to be
here.
I certainly want to thank the Academy.
I want to thank Universal Pictures, Donna Langley and the whole team there.
I, of course,
want to thank my my family and my wife,
who always has my back and is,
as all my friends know, the secret weapon of my life.
And I also want to thank James and David Wargo for
trusting me to move this project forward.
They gave me the book, which I was fortunate enough
to give to Chris and Emma.
And finally just want to say that
I've had this amazing 20
plus year experience with Chris Emma
five movies over 20 years,
and it's been one of the most
exhilarating experiences I've ever had a fantastic team,
and just to be part of making movies with them has been completely thrilling.
So thank you so much
and that great congratulations to Oppenheimer.
If only there was way for Christopher Nolan to text his family to
tell them the good news.
That's it for our show.
I want to thank the Academy for having me.
I want to thank our very hardworking producers,
Raj Kapoor, Katie Milan and Molly McInerney.
Thanks to our great announcer, David Alan Grier,
our bandleader Ricky Minor, our band, our director, Hamish Hamilton.
And the whole Oscars crew stay up for a new Abbott Elementary and join me
on my show tomorrow with Dwayne Johnson, Justin Timberlake and Robert De Niro.
Thanks for watching.

Then the entire membership chooses from those nominations,
