The 96th Oscars in Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre was indeed a big show with major highlights apart from the usual ceremonies. This year’s Academy Awards were hosted by US television host Jimmy Kimmel which was his fourth time as the host of the prestigious awards.
This year among the major highlights have been the ecstatic performance of actor Ryan Gosling singing “I’m Just Ken”, John Cena coming naked on stage to present the Oscar for Best Costuming and a delightful pairing of Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger as a Twins reunion.
