This year, the Oscars contained astonishing energy from everybody inside the theater. This event was filled with laughs and tears as well as passion and witty quips. On March 10, 2024, the Oscars were held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. The show was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, who did an excellent job of entertaining the audience. This year’s Oscars included many hilarious moments from the actors in the crowd. 

Starting off, Jimmy Kimmel made a notable and hilarious joke about Ryan Gosling. Staring at Ryan from the stage, he says, “Ryan, you are so hot,” earning roars of laughter from the crowd. He then says, “Let’s go camping together and not tell our wives”. Speaking of Ryan Gosling, he performed his hit song from Barbie, “I’m Just Ken”. 

As the lights dim, Ryan Gosling appears from behind Margot Robbie’s seat in the audience. He goes up the stage and joins his “Ken” co-stars. Even Slash from the famous rock band Guns N’ Roses makes a guest appearance and effortlessly performs his guitar solo. Overall, it was a breathtaking performance. Moving on, Emma Stone received an Oscar for best actress! 

She competed with actresses Annette Bening, Sandra Huller, Carey Mulligan, and Lily Gladstone, who could have been the first Native American woman to receive an Academy Award. Once she made it up on stage, she first said, “My dress is broken. I think it happened during ‘I’m just Ken’”. This triggered a few laughs in the audience.

The night of the 2024 Oscars truly is one to remember. The energy was up and the vibe was magical. Hopefully, next year will be above and beyond. Surely, it can only get better from here.
