The Sunday ceremony began with an emotional acceptance speech from Da'Vine Joy Randolph, who won the Best Supporting Actress award. She took to the stage already in tears, starting her speech with 'God is so good.'
She thanked everyone who has come into her life and been there for her, sending a shoutout to her mother for encouraging her to pursue acting.
She closed with these words: 'I pray to God that I can do this more. Thank you for noticing me. Wishing you all a blessed night. Thank you.'
While other celebrities showcased their attire and tuxedos on stage, John Cena shocked everyone by appearing on stage with just a massive envelope to present the Best Costume Design award. This nearly nude moment occurred when host Jimmy Kimmel invited Cena to the stage as a nod to the 1974 Oscar streaker incident.
Michael Keaton and Catherine O'Hara had a 'Beetlejuice' reunion on stage, presenting the awards for Best Production Design and Best Makeup and Hairstyling thirty-five years after their film premiered.
Note: Both awards went to the Poor Things team.
In another moment of laughter during Sunday's ceremony, Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling took the stage to pay tribute to stunt performances and used the opportunity to tease each other under the name 'Barbenheimer.'
Ryan Gosling took the stage in an embroidered bright pink suit, leading a group of Kens in singing the Oscar-nominated song 'I'm Just Ken.' Despite ultimately losing to another Barbie anthem 'What Was I Made For?' in terms of winning, his performance was definitely Ken-tastic.
The dog from 'Anatomy of a Fall' looked adorable in a public setting, resembling Cillian Murphy when he needs some socializing. Love you Messi!

Sean Lennon quickly wished his mother Yoko Ono a happy 91st birthday during the ceremony, prompting the audience to join in.
During another humorous moment of the night, Kate McKinnon and America Ferrera jokingly listed famous documentaries before presenting the Best Documentary Short Film award. McKinnon then joked about sending her 'graceful nude photos' to Jeff Goldblum, eliciting laughter from the crowd.
Scott George took the stage with the Osage Singers to celebrate their Oscar-nominated song from 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' performing 'Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)' live. The performance, filled with drumming and dancing, received a standing ovation from the audience.
