So, the Oscars aka the 96th Academy Awards just ended yesterday night (or Monday morning depending on the region you are in). The prestigious presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) was held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday.
It was, for the fourth time, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and saw a star-studded award presenters, including a “naked” John Cena presenting the costume design as well as performances by a host of artists. Not going to lie. I never paid attention to this event since after Life of Pi bagged 4 awards. I haven’t been paying attention since 2013.
Anyhoo, this year’s event caught my attention because Ryan Gosling performed I’m Just Ken roping in Slash to shred some riffs on stage. Yep. That got me back to noticing the award ceremony. A strange tale, am I right?
While I am at it, thought we share with you the winners of the 96th Academy Awards. That’s right. Godzilla Minus One deservingly bagged one too.
