We're going to talk a lot about the Oscars today
with a night of celebration for Hollywood for the
96th Academy Awards and some very deserving winners,
including Christopher Nolan's blockbuster Oppenheimer.
If you haven't seen it,
you got to see it now.
Entertainment Tonight Co host Michelle Turner is running on adrenaline,
I think, after being part of the action last night.
Michelle. Oh, what a night.
Lucky you. You got to be there in person.
Good morning. I did, I did.
Good morning, GAIL. Yes, it was a good night.
You could have renamed last night's event though the Oscar
Heimer because the cast and the crew simply clean house,
including Christopher Nolan's first ever Oscar for directing the show,
even resurrected this summer's Barben Heimer competition to keep the
event light hearted and put an emphasis on having fun.
The only one will take the award for
Best Picture. Hollywood legend Al Pacino removed all the suspense
when he skipped naming the 10 films nominated for Best
Picture and Maria.
I see Oppenheimer and going right to the winner.
Hollywood's top prize of the year went to one of
the summer's biggest blockbusters about the physicist who created the
atomic bomb.
I have been dreaming about this moment for so long.
The film pulled in an impressive 7 total Academy Awards.
Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer, including Best Director for Christopher Nolan and
Best Actor Killian Murphy.
I would really like to dedicate this to the Peacemakers
everywhere
and for Robert Downey Junior as Best Supporting Actor.
I'd like to thank my terrible childhood
and the Academy,
in that order. While Oppenheimer reigned its summer box office,
rival Barbie also commanded respect.
Barbie's only Oscar of the night went to Billy Eilish
and Brother Phineas for Best Original Song,
but Gosling stole the show,
donning A bedazzled pink suit to perform Barbie's chart topping
song I'm Just Ken.
Gosling and His Ken dancers electrified the crowd and even
triggered A wardrobe malfunction for Emma Stone.
My dress is broken.
I think it happened during I'm Just Ken
Stone winning Best Actress for Poor Things.
Throughout the show, past winners in the acting categories honored
each of the nominees with a personalized tribute.
Dave Vine my friend Your performance is tribute to those
who have helped others heal in spite of their own
pain.
Dave Vine, Joy Randolph was overcome with emotion,
winning for Best Supporting Actress for playing a grieving mother
in the holdovers for so long.
I've always wanted to be different
and now I realize I just need to pee myself.
The night was filled with laughs too,
like John Cena, who seemed to forget his wardrobe
costumes.
They are so important.
Maybe the most important thing there is
it was the Birkenstock sandals for me,
for sure. That was an unforgettable moment there with John
Cena.
Now, one of the other big moments of the night
was the best Actress category.
We saw Emma Stone win over Lily Gladstone.
A lot of people thought that could have been a
surprise.
Lily was, you know, she was happy for Emma.
But she was also, of course,
upset that she lost. And in the crowd
during the break, we saw Martin Scorsese go over and
comfort her and talk to her and let her know
that everything would be OK.
GAIL Well, I have to say,
that was a bit of a surprise.
Although if you've seen poor things,
you know Emma Stone killed in that.
Just that. Lily has won everything,
practically everything leading up to the moment.
So it was a bit of a surprise.
But I'm cracking up at you,
Michelle, saying the Birkins sauce,
did John Cena have on Birkins sauce?
I didn't even notice his shoes.
And also, I wonder what it didn't even get down
to the shoes.
No, I did not. I stopped at the knees.
But what was it like in the room,
though, when Al Pacino went to announce?
Because when he went to announce the best picture,
I said what is happening here?
I wasn't sure where it was going to go.
And then he didn't name all the other category,
all the other, all the other nominees.
Why was it that was Yeah,
it it was an interesting moment because I I think
a lot of people,
including myself, were thinking is,
is something happening here with something messed up?
Yes. But we were told last night that the plan
was never for him to announce the 10 Best Picture
nominees because they had been announced throughout the night and
the plan was for him to go up and announce
the winner.
Although it came off a bit awkward,
you know, Al kind of does whatever Al wants to
do sometimes.
So it came off a bit awkward.
But we were told that was the plan from the
beginning to oh,
OK, alright, alright. Well, when he said my I see.
Well, our ICU, Michelle, our ICU,
we'll see you again top of eight.
We'll see you again top of 8:00 hour.
Michelle, thank you very much.
Appreciate it.
