Like many of the movies up for Oscars, this year’s Academy Awards ran longer than most viewers probably considered reasonable. But lengthy as the ceremony was, it was marked by enough surprises to make it one one hell of a watch.

Though host Jimmy Kimmel made sure to get a few good jabs in at most of the filmmakers up for Oscars, few of

Before presenting the award for Best Sound at the 2024 Oscars comedian John Mulaney explained, in rapid-fire detail, the nonsensical plot of Field of Dreams.

For those who don't remember the iconic film, in Mulaney's words, "He mows done corn and then there is a field and then he's like, 'I'm going to watch ghosts play baseball.' And the bank is like, 'You want to pay your mortgage?' And he's like

Cillian Murphy accepts the award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for

Cillian Murphy has won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his leading role in Oppenheimer.

Murphy was tasked with shouldering Christopher Nolan's three-hour-long drama about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb. Playing a historical figure over the course of his life is surefire catnip for the Academy Awards, but Murphy's performance is built less on grandiose showboating than it

Margot Robbie as Barbie in

"What Was I Made For," Billie Eilish's existential Barbie single, has won the Academy Award for Best Original song. The win marks the second Oscar for Eilish and her brother/co-writer Finneas O'Connell, who also won in 2022 for their haunting Bond theme "No Time to Die."

(In a perfect world, they would also have at least been nominated for boy band gold "Nobody Like U" from Pixar's Turning Red.)

Ryan Gosling performs

Ryan Gosling may not have won Best Supporting Actor at the 96th Academy Awards, but he certainly won over the crowd with his lively rendition of Barbie's rock-meets-dream ballet banger "I'm Just Ken."

Gosling took to the stage with 65 male dancers to perform the Academy Award-nominated tune, which is nominated alongside another Barbie song, Billie Eilish's "What Was I Made For." Other nominees for Best Original Song include "Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)" from Killers of the Flower Moon, "It Never Went Away" from American Symphony, and "The Fire Inside" from Flamin' Hot.

For the performance itself, Gosling fully embraced the Kenergy he's been rocking since the beginning of the Barbie press tour. After beginning the number seated in the audience and serenading Margot Robbie, Gosling took the stage for a cowboy-themed homage to Gentlemen Prefer Blondes that quickly descended into pink, sparkly madness. Mark Ronson and Slash from Guns N' Roses shredded on guitars. Ken actors Simu Liu, Scott Evans, Ncuti Gatwa, and Kingsley Ben-Adir served as backup dancers. Greta Gerwig, Robbie, and America Ferrera joined in for a sing-along. In short? It was Kenergy, pure and distilled — and one of the highlights of the night.
