The Oscars never fail to disappoint.
No matter if one believes the choice of winners are the right ones and their awards are well-deserved or there was someone else who actually took the spotlight but was robbed of an Oscar, the Academy Awards ceremony provides enjoyment, entertainment, as well as outfits and moments worth all the attention they get. Among Ryan Gosling’s iconic I’m Just Ken performance, Robert Downey Jr’s first ever Oscar win and Al Pacino failing to read the nominees before announcing the winner, there was yet another moment that people can’t stop talking about. As you are guessing already, that’s John Cena’s skit that required him taking the stage completely naked. Cena was to announce the winner for the category of Best Costume Design, for which the films Poor Things, Oppenheimer, Barbie, Napoleon, and Killers of the Flower Moon were racing. The host, Jimmie Kimmel, recalling an incident where a streaker ran across the stage at the 1974 Academy Awards, asked: “Can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today? Wouldn’t that be crazy?” At that moment, Cena peeked around the curtain saying, “I changed my mind. I don’t want to do the streaker bit. I just don’t feel right about it. It’s an elegant event, you know, you should feel shame right now for suggesting such a tasteless joke.” “The male body is not a joke!” the WWE star added.
