The Academy Awards, which aired in the UK on ITV, were once again hosted by late-night titan Jimmy Kimmel. In his opening monologue, the host took aim at Sony’s Madame Web, disgraced French actor Gerard Depardieu and Oppenheimer nominee Robert Downey Jr.
Among the performers was Ryan Gosling who stunned the audience with his typically vibrant rendition of “I’m Just Ken” from Barbie.
One of the most talked-about moments of the night came when John Cena took to the stage totally naked in a streaking skit gone awry with Kimmel.
Then, after the ceremony, the celebrities headed to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party to let their hair down and bask in the end of another glitzy awards season.

Paul Giamatti’s big win of the night: a burger
According to the official Vanity Fair writeup of the Oscars afterparty, Paul Giamatti was elated at not having to go to extra measures for a bite to eat.
After the Golden Globes in January, the Best Actor nominee had to drive himself to In-and-Out Burger to grab a double-double with onions. However, at the annual magazine event on Saturday, the attendees’ hunger was predicted and there was a tray of burgers ready and waiting on arrival.
The Holdovers star is said to have “happily tucked into one”. Who needs an Oscar when you’ve got a good burger on your side?!
Who was the best dressed at the Oscars?
As the closing event of awards season, the Oscars is often when celebrities choose to share their very best looks with the world.
Sunday’s event was no exception, with the likes of Zendaya, Emma Stone, Vanessa Hudgens and Da’Vine Joy Randolph stunning onlookers with their glamorous outfits and styling choices.
