John Cena caused quite a stir at this year's Oscars ceremony as he made a surprising and unconventional appearance on the stage.
The actor shocked the audience by appearing naked during the announcement of the Best Costume Design award, leaving everyone in awe and laughter.
John Cena was totally naked on the Oscars stage to announce the Best Costume Design award.
The actor surprised everyone during the announcement for the Best Costume Design award. The moment was part of a comedic skit with host Jimmy Kimmel, adding an unexpected twist to the ceremony.
On the stage, Jimmy Kimmel referenced a notorious incident from the 46th Academy Awards in 1974 when a streaker ran across the stage.
Kimmel playfully suggested that it would be wild if a streaker appeared at the Oscars again.
To everyone's surprise, John Cena timidly emerged from behind the set, with only a curtain covering his body.
The audience started laughing out loud when Cena moved to the middle of the stage.
It was a hilarious sight, with the envelope being the only thing that seemed to protect Cena's 'privacy'.
Kimmel jokingly reminded Cena that he wrestles naked, to which Cena responded that he wrestles in pants, prompting more laughter from the audience.
However, Cena faced a comedic dilemma when he reached the microphone.
He humorously pointed out that he couldn't open the envelope without exposing himself to the audience and viewers at home.
Emphasizing the importance of costumes, he cleverly connected the skit to the Best Costume Design award, earning even more laughter from the crowd.
'Costumes are very important, probably the most important thing,' Cena said.
After Cena's entertaining appearance, the ceremony continued with the nominations for Best Costume Design, including films like Barbie, Poor Things, Killers of the Flower Moon, Oppenheimer, and Napoleon.
Finally, the award went to the costume designer of Poor Things, and Holly Waddington, the costume designer, took the stage to accept the honor.
Jimmy Kimmel's controversial hosting on the Oscars stage this year
Jimmy Kimmel's hosting of the Oscars sparked controversy when he mocked Robert Downey Jr. on the stage.
The comedian quipped, "This is surely one of the highest points in Robert Downey Jr's illustrious career."
Jimmy Kimmel also made jokes about Robert Downey Jr's personal life, including his manhood and past drug use.
Downey Jr's disapproving look caught on camera left some people relieved that he didn't slap on Jimmy Kimmel's face just like Will Smith's infamous slap on Chris Rock.
The 96th Academy Awards took place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, honoring the top films of 2023.
The highly anticipated movies of the year, Barbie and Oppenheimer, dominated the nominations. Oppenheimer received an impressive 13 nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, who is favored to win after winning multiple awards for his portrayal of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer.
With eight nominations, Barbie was also recognized, although it faced some notable snubs from the Academy.
