The performance of "Naatu Naatu" from "RRR" was, in one word, electric. If it takes home the award, it would be the first Tollywood song to snag best song.
The number ended with the audience on its feet giving the performers a standing ovation.
It's about time Hollywood goes wild for actress Deepika Padukone, the Bollywood icon we South Asians have been obsessed with for years. She was stunning in a vintage-looking black dress as she introduced the viral hit "Naatu Naatu" from the Telugu movie "RRR." Swoon.
Ruth Carter gave an emotional acceptance speech after she won for best costume design for "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," thanking her mother.
"This past week Mabel Carter became an ancestor. This film prepared me for this moment," she said.
She also paid tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman.
"Please take care of Mom," she said, as we all sat in front of the screen crying.
Jenny the donkey, one of the stars of "The Banshees Of Inisherin," made a cameo at the Oscars.
After a commercial break, host Kimmel graced the stage with a donkey he said actors can use as emotional support.
“Let’s get you back on that Spirit Airlines flight now, huh?”
A sizzle reel tribute to 100 years of Warner Bros. films features the studio's water tank logo. And I'm dating myself again, but it just makes me think of “The Animaniacs.” The water tank famously was home to Yakko, Wakko and Dot.
'The Whale' wins for best hair and makeup
"The Whale" won for best hair and makeup.
The artists were able to transform Brendan Fraser, who played the lead character, Charlie, into a 600-pound recluse while still allowing him to express his full range of emotions.
Actor Donnie Yen faced backlash on the road to becoming an Oscars presenter over his previous comments opposing the 2019 pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.
“It wasn’t a protest, okay, it was a riot," Yen told GQ. "I’m not going to be here talking about how to change how people feel about it."
Thousands signed a petition asking the academy to remove him as a presenter. But he still took the stage tonight.
Hot dog fingers make Oscars appearance
The hot dog fingers from "Everything Everywhere All at Once" are in the building.
The song "This Is a Life" was performed live by “Talking Heads” lead singer David Byrne and actor Stephanie Hsu on the Dolby Theatre stage.
That's where Byrne whipped out the hog dog fingers. I hope we spot them again tonight.
'All Quiet On the Western Front' wins best cinematography
"All Quiet On the Western Front" took home the award for best cinematography.
The film is a stunning portrayal of wartime tragedy. But, is it just me or does it seem like a war movie always has to win something at the Oscars?
Jonathan Majors and Michael B. Jordan may be our favorite presenter duo so far.
And it's not just because Jordan said "Hey, auntie" to give props to Angela Bassett before they announced the winner for cinematography. (Although that does have something to do with it.)
