Jimmy Kimmel recapped his favorite 2024 Oscars moments during his Jimmy Kimmel Live! monologue on Monday, including John Cena’s nudity gag and Donald Trump’s angry tweet.
“We had John Cena onstage naked, and somehow Trump still managed to be the biggest dick of the night,” Kimmel told the crowd.
At the ceremony the night before, which Kimmel hosted for the fourth time, Cena took the stage seemingly nude, covering himself with a winner’s envelope to present the award for best costume design. The gag was a nod to streaker Robert Opel at the 1974 Academy Awards, Kimmel reiterated on Monday, saying he wanted to pay tribute to the incident on its 50th anniversary.
Kimmel also spoke on Monday about how difficult it was to convince the network to greenlight Cena’s joke, saying he kept being told the envelope held in front of Cena’s body needed to be bigger.

At the 2024 Oscars on Sunday, John Cena took the stage — seemingly in his birthday suit, save for a winner’s envelope, a Rolex Explorer and some Birkenstocks — to present the award for best costume design. But the wrestler turned actor was actually wearing an item called a modesty garment, often used in film and television to cover an actor’s intimate areas.
After donning the flesh-colored sling as part of a skit that nodded to streaker Robert Opel at the 1974 Academy Awards, Cena was given a curtain-toga to cover up during costume designer Holly Waddington’s acceptance speech for Poor Things.
While the bit about a popular actor’s bits got its share of laughs, the question remains: What is a modesty garment, or modesty pouch, anyway?
Jessica Steinrock, one of the leading intimacy coordinators in Hollywood and CEO of Intimacy Directors and Coordinators, Inc., tells The Hollywood Reporter that there are usually two kinds.

The 2024 Oscars were one to remember, bringing the audience to tears at some moments and laughter at others. From Ryan Gosling reuniting with the Kens from Barbie to John Cena going nearly nude onstage and Al Pacino skipping announcing the best picture nominees, here are some of Sunday night’s most memorable moments.
Ryan Gosling Reunited With Other Kens for Barbie Performance
Ryan Gosling and Mark Ronson took the stage to perform their Barbie hit “I’m Just Ken.” Gosling kicked off the performance from his seat in the audience behind co-star Margot Robbie, decked out in a hot pink, bedazzled custom Gucci suit, matching leather gloves and Gucci sunglasses. Gosling was joined by Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Ncuti Gatwa and more of the Kens from the Barbie film, who took the stage alongside their onscreen leader, donning suits with tails and top hats. Slash also made a special appearance during the performance.

John Cena may have not run across the 2024 Oscars stage nude Sunday, but he certainly did awkwardly walk to present the award for best costume design.
Jimmy Kimmel initially kicked off the bit by asking, “Can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today? Wouldn’t that be crazy?” The host was referencing when Robert Opel infamously streaked during the 46th Academy Awards in 1974.
Cena proceeded to pop his head out from backstage to inform Kimmel, “I changed my mind. I don’t want to do the streaker bit anymore. … You should feel ashamed right now for suggesting such a tasteless idea.”
“It’s supposed to be funny,” Kimmel responded before Cena quipped, “The male body is not a joke.” But the host added, “Mine is.”
As Kimmel continued to push Cena to streak across the stage, he reminded the WWE star, “You wrestle naked. Why not?...

John Cena made one memorable entrance at the 2024 Oscars on March 10. The WWE wrestler-turned-actor presented the Best Costume Design award naked. Yes, you read that right. Before the Best Costume Design award presentation, Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel recalled the moment Robert Opel streaked across the stage during the 1974 Oscars. “Can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today?” Kimmel asked. Kimmel repeated his question, and Cena popped his head out from the side of the stage. A nervous Cena called Kimmel over and explained that he didn’t want to streak naked across the stage anymore. “I just don’t feel right about it, man,” Cena told Kimmel. “It’s an elegant event. Honestly, you should feel shame right now for suggesting such a tasteless idea.” John Cena strips down to present the award for Best Costume Design at the 2024 Oscars. (Patrick T.

Tonight, the Peacemaker was a Disrupter, so to speak.
John Cena gave out the Oscar for Best Costume Design (spoiler: the winner was Poor Things) nearly nude with a big placard covering his cajones that read “Costume Design”.
Host Jimmy Kimmel wanted to pay homage to the 1974 streaking incident which involved the late Robert Opel, who ran naked behind an unsuspecting David Niven onstage, who was introducing Elizabeth Taylor at the time.
After the laughter simmered, Niven beamed at the time, “Well, ladies and gentlemen, that was almost bound to happen … But isn’t it fascinating to think that probably the only laugh that man will ever get in his life is by stripping off and showing his shortcomings?”

John Hamlin, who contributed to 45 Academy Awards telecasts at NBC and ABC as an executive or consultant and produced many other TV specials during his long career, has died. He was 92.
Hamlin died Monday at a family home in Pacific Palisades after he was hospitalized for severe dehydration from stomach flu, his family announced.
Hamlin worked with everyone from Bob Hope and Elvis Presley to Michael Jackson and said the highlight of his career was meeting Charlie Chaplin at the 1972 Academy Awards when the legend emerged from exile to receive an honorary Oscar.
He also had the truth about the streaker Robert Opel, who flashed across the stage at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion at the 1974 Academy Awards, saying the whole thing was planned and that co-host David Niven’s impromptu response about the naked man’s “shortcomings” was prewritten.

The Academy Awards have been around for nearly a century — and in that time they’ve evolved into an endlessly fascinating Petri dish of self-congratulatory pomposity and live-event chaos. Usually, the show goes off without a hitch. Yet not even the most seasoned, demanding television producer can stand firm against the combined forces of Hollywood egos and benign, indifferent happenstance. Will Smith’s shocking decision to storm the stage and smack Chris Rock at the 94th Oscars last night may be the most outrageous moment the Oscars have ever produced…...

A look back at Oscar highlights, from Marlon Brando refusing his award to John Travolta botching Idina Menzel’s name.
Jerry Lewis Improvises Oscars Finale for 20 Minutes (1959)
Lewis hosted the show in 1959, but for some reason, the show ended 20 minutes early, so he improvised a monologue for the rest of the show, which was joked about for many years after that.
At the 2017 Oscars, Warren Beatty declared “La La Land” the winner of Best Picture. When everyone was giving their acceptance speeches, people started to realize there was a mix up — “Moonlight” had actually won. Everyone thought it was a “oh, no, ‘Moonlight’ deserved it” moment, but it wasn’t. It was a straight-up Steve Harvey moment, and it will go down as one of the most outrageous moments in history.

I was three years old in 1974. I’m giving away my age, but I love the fact that I can remember the 1970s and 1980s. The classic film stars who many young people today don’t recognize were still popping up on award and variety shows. One such very memorable occasion was the 1974 Academy Awards telecast. Granted I was too young to remember this awards show, and it would be another decade before my passion for movies took hold. However, it is one of the ceremonies that has multiple special moments that are still discussed on this anniversary 45 years later. And it took place during an era when over-the-top, cheesy broadcasts were in full bloom. This particular ceremony provided the only appearance by Katharine Hepburn at the Oscars, the youngest Oscar winner ever, an odd quartet of hosts with an opening musical by Liza Minnelli and a very shocking but amusing “visitor.
