THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

GIVE ME A SECOND TO ADJUST MY

DANGER ZONE HERE.

ALL RIGHT.

I'M GOOD.

WELCOME, AND CONGRATULATIONS,

WELCOME TO THE 95th OSCARS!

IT IS YOU M-- YOU MADE IT.

CONGRATULATIONS.

I KNOW THAT BEING HERE TONIGHT

IS A DREAM COME TRUE.

THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME TO BE

APART OF IT, ESPECIALLY THIS

YEAR, WHEN THE FINALLY GOT OUT

OF THE HOUSE TO SEE THE FILMS

YOU WORKED SO HARD TO MAKE, THE

WAY YOU INTENDED THEM TO BE

SEEN, IN A THEATER.

AND I -- I ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT

I AM HAPPY TO SEE THAT NICOLE

KIDMAN HAS FINALLY BEEN RELEASED

FROM THAT ABANDONED AMC -- WHERE

SHE HAS BEEN HELD CAPTIVE FOR

ALMOST TWO FULL YEARS NOW.

GOOD TO HAVE YOU, BACK, NICOLE.

AND THANK YOU FOR ENCOURAGING

PEOPLE WHO WERE ALREADY AT THE

MOVIE THEATER TO GO TO THE MOVIE

THEATER.

YOU LOOK GREAT.

EVERYBODY LOOKS SO GREAT.

WHEN I LOOK AROUND THIS ROOM, I

CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER, IS

OZEMPIC RIGHT FOR ME?

SO MANY FIRST-TIME NOMINEES

HERE.

IN THE ACTING CATEGORIES ALONE,

THERE ARE 16 FIRST-TIME

NOMINEES, INCLUDING JAMIE LEE

CURTIS, INCLUDING COLIN FARRELL,

MICHELLE YEOH.

BRENDAN FRASER.

I -- THIS IS, I THINK, A GREAT

PIECE OF OSCAR TRIVIA.

31 YEARS AGO, IN 1992, BRENDAN

FRASER AND KY WERE IN A MOVIE

TOGETHER -- YOU REMEMBER WHICH

MOVIE WAS IT?

"

"ENCINO MAN."

TWO ACTORS FROM "ENCINO MAN" ARE

NOMINATED FOR OSCARS.

WHAT A -- WHAT AN INCREDIBLE

NIGHT THIS MUST BE FOR THE TWO

OF YEAR AND WHAT A VERY

DIFFICULT NIGHT FOR PAULIE

SHORE.

MAYBE IT'S TIME TO REBOOT

"BIODOME."

ALL THE TOP-TEN HIGHEST GROSSING

FILMS THIS YEAR WERE SEQUELS OR

FRANCHISES.

THEY SAY HOLLYWOOD IS RUNNING

OUT OF IDEAS.

POOR STEVEN SPIELBERG HAD TO

MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT STEPVEN

SPIE

SPIELBERG.

CONGRATULATIONS, STEVEN.

LOOK AT THIS, BY THE WAY.

I WANT TO SAY, RIGHT HERE, THIS

IS MY FAVORITE DUO OF THE YEAR.

STEVEN SPIELBERG AND SETH ROGEN.

WHAT A PAIR.

THE JOE AND HUNTER BIDEN OF

HOLLYWOOD.

SETH, WHAT ARE YOU ON RIGHT NOW?

BE HONEST.

NOTHING?

MUSHROOMS, RIGHT?

DID YOU GIVE ONE TO STEVEN?

GIVE HIM ONE.

LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

MAYBE HE'LL MAKE SOMETHING

CRAZY.

STEVEN CLAIMS HE HAS NEVER

SMOKED WEED.

YOU MEAN TO TELL ME YOU WERE

SOBER WHEN YOU MADE A MOVIE

ABOUT AN ALIEN THAT EATS REESE'S

PIECES ALL DAY AND CAN'T

REMEMBER HOW TO PHONE HOME?

STEVEN IS THE FIRST DIRECTOR TO

BE NOMINATED IN SIX DIFFERENT

DECADES FOR AN OSCAR.

REMARKABLE.

THIS TIME, AS YOU KNOW, HE IS

NOMINATED FOR "THE FABLELMANS."

THEY SAY WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW,

AND ALSO WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW

YOUR MOM DID WITH YOUR DAD'S

BEST FRIEND.

AND STEVEN DID THAT, AND THE

RESULT WAS YET ANOTHER OSCAR

NOMINATION FOR THE GREAT

MICHELLE WILLIAMS, WHO IS RIGHT

THERE.

MICHELLE.

AND "THE FABELMANS" WASN'T AN

EASY SHOOT.

AFTER ALMOST EVERY TAKE,

SPIELBERG WOULD RUSH UP TO HER

WITH TEARS IN HIS EYES, HE WOULD

SCREAM, THAT'S NOT HOW MOMMY

SAID IT!

I ALSO WANT TO EXTEND

CONGRATULATIONS TO STEVEN'S

LONGTIME COLLABORATOR, THE

MAESTRO JOHN WILLIAMS, WHO IS

NOW THE OLDEST NOMINEE IN OSCAR

HISTORY.

AND HE LOOKS GREAT, HE'S -- JOHN

TURNED 91 YEARS OLD LAST MONTH

AND HE'S STILL SCORING, IF YOU

KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

AND BY THE WAY, IF YOU HAVE

NEVER MADE LOVE TO THE SCORE

FROM "RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK,"

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR.

ANOTHER -- ONLY WALT DOES KNEE,

THIS IS GREAT.

ONTO WALT DISNEY HAS BEEN

NOMINATED FOR MORE OSCARS THAN

JOHN WILLIAMS.

HE'S BEEN NOMINATED 53 TIMES.

HE'S WON FIVE.

WHICH HONESTLY IS NOT THAT

GREAT.

BUT GOOD LUCK TONIGHT.

IT WAS A VERY GOOD YEAR FOR

MOVIES.

BUSINESS IS BOOMING.

I KNOW PEOPLE LIKE TO DEBATE NOW

WHICH IS BETTER, MOVIES OR TV,

BUT HERE'S THE THING.

NO MATTER HOW GOOD A SHOW IS,

THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT

MOVIES CAN DO THAT TV JUST

CAN'T.

FOR EXAMPLE, A TV SHOW CAN'T

LOSE $100 MILLION.

IS THE GANG FROM "BABYLON" HERE?

THEY KNOW.

I WAS JUST ASKING IF THEY WERE

HERE.

I WAS WELCOMING THEM.

AT LEAST "BABYLON" GOT RELEASED.

"BAT GIRL" BECAME THE FIRST

SUPERHERO TO BE DEFEATED BY AN

ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT.

AND THEN WE HAD THE BIG ONE, THE

LONG, LONG AWAITED "AVATAR: THE

WAY OF WATER."

JIM CAMERON, ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY

TO DO WHAT HE LOVES TO DO MORE

THAN ANYTHING ELSE -- DROWNING

KATE WINSLET.

THE SEQUEL TO "AVATAR" IS THE

MOST EXPENSIVE MOVIE EVER MADE.

DISNEY SPENT $2 BILLION ON THIS

MOVIE.

JUST TO BREAK EVEN, ALL OF NICK

CANNON'S KIDS HAD TO SEE

"AVATAR" FOUR TIMES.

AND THEY DID, I GUESS.

JAMES CAMERON IS NOT HERE, BY

THE WAY, TONIGHT.

YOU KNOW -- YOU KNOW A SHOW IS

TOO LONG WHEN EVEN JAMES CAMERON

CAN'T SIT THROUGH IT.

SOME OF THE CYNICS ARE SAYING

JIM CAMERON ISN'T HERE BECAUSE

HE DIDN'T GET A BEST DIRECTOR

NOMINATION AND WHILE I FIND THAT

VERY HARD TO BELIEVE ABOUT A MAN

WHO SUCH DEEP HUMILITY, HE DOES

HAVE A POINT.

I MEAN, HOW DOES THE ACADEMY NOT

NOMINATE THE GUY WHO DIRECTED

"AVATAR."

WHAT DO THEY THINK HE IS -- A

WOMAN?

WHAT A -- THANK YOU, LADIES.

IT WAS SOME YEAR FOR DIVERSITY

AND INCLUSION.

WE HAVE NOMINEES FROM EVERY

CORNER OF DUBLIN.

FIVE IRISH ACTORS ARE NOMINATED

TONIGHT.

WHICH MEANS THE ODDS OF ANOTHER

FIGHT ON STAGE JUST WENT WAY UP.

AND WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT

OF DIVERSITY, I WANT TO SAY,

ESPECIALLY THOSE WATCHING AT

HOME, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF

EXCELLENT FILMS AND PERFORMANCES

NOT NOMINATED TONIGHT, INCLUDING

"TILL", BASED ON A TRUE STORY.

VERY WORTHY OF YOUR TIME, IF YOU

HAVEN'T SEEN THEM.

AS IS A SMALL FILM CALLED "TOP

GUN: MAVERICK."

THE MOVIE THAT SAVED THE MOVIES.

EVERYONE LOVED "TOP GUN."

EVERYBODY.

I MEAN -- TOM CRUISE WITH HIS

SHIRT OFF IN THAT BEACH FOOTBALL

SCENE?

L. RON HUBBA HUBBA, YOU KNOW

WHAT I'M SAYING?

YOU KNOW, TOM AND JAMES CAMERON

DIDN'T SHOW UP TONIGHT.

THE TWO GUYS WHO INSISTED WE GO

TO THE THEATER DIDN'T COME TO

THE THEATER.

SO IF YOU ARE HOPING TO GET A

LOOK AT TOM CRUISE, HE'S NOT

HERE, OR MAYBE HE IS HERE, MAYBE

THAT'S TOM CRUISE RIGHT THERE

WEARING A JUDD HIRSCH "MISSION

IMPOSSIBLE" MASK.

THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT

FOR SURE.

JUDD, WE ARE GOING TO NEED YOU

TO DRIVE A MOTORCYCLE OFF THE

ROOF OF THE THEATER.

YOU KNOW WHO ELSE IS HERE?

THE EXCELLENT RIHANNA IS WITH US

TONIGHT.

SHE GOT HER FIRST OSCAR

NOMINATION FOR THE SONG "LIFT ME

UP" FROM "BLACK PANT HER WHAT

CACA

WHAT CANADA FOREVER."

SHE HAS A NINE-MONTH-OLD

BACKSTAGE.

HE'S VERY CUTE.

HE POOPED DURING REHEARSAL.

YOU KNOW WHO THE LAST PERSON WAS

TO POOP BACKSTAGE AT THE OSCARS?

THE ACCOUNTANT THAT MIXED UP THE

ENVELOPES.

RIHANNA IS HERE, LADY GAGA IS

HERE.

WONDERFUL.

MY GOD, EVEN ELVIS IS IN THE

BUILDING TONIGHT.

THERE HE IS.

AUSTIN BUTLER.

AUSTIN -- AS YOU KNOW, A

FIRST-TIME NOMINEE, HE WAS SO

CONVINCING AS ELVIS, STILL IS.

THIS IS A GOOD HOLLYWOOD STORY.

BEFORE THEY STARTED SHOOTING,

TOM HANKS GAVE AUSTIN A VINTAGE

TYPEWRITER IN IT AND IN IT, TOM

LEFT A NOTE WRITTEN FROM COME

LELL TOM PARKER TO ELVIS, SO

AUSTIN USED THE TYPEWRITER TO

WRITE TOM BACK AS ELVIS PRESLEY

AND THEY GOT TO KNOW EACH OTHER

BY SENDING LETTERS BACK AND

FORTH AS ELVIS AND TOM, WHICH

JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW INCREDIBLY

SILLY THIS ALL IS.

YOU HAVE SILLY JOBS, BUT AUSTIN,

YOU ARE SO KNOW ELVIS WOULD HA

YOUR PERFORMANCE.

ACCORDING TO MY QANON REDDIT

PAGE, HE STILL IS.

WE WANT YOU TO HAVE FUN, FEEL

SAFE, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE

WANT ME TO FEEL SAFE.

SO, WE HAVE STRICT POLICIES IN

PLACE.

IF ANYONE IN THIS THEATER

COMMITS AN ACT OF VIOLENCE AT

ANY POINT DURING THE SHOW, YOU

WILL BE AWARDED THE OSCAR FOR

BEST ACTOR AND PERMITTED TO GIVE

A 19-MINUTE LONG SPEECH.

BUT SERIOUSLY, THE ACADEMY HAS A

CRISIS TEAM IN PLACE.

IF ANYTHING UNPREDICTABLE OR

VIOLENT HAPPENS DURING THE

CEREMONY, JUST DO WHAT YOU DID

LAST YEAR.

NOTHING.

SIT THERE AND DO ABSOLUTELY

NOTHING.

MAYBE EVEN GIVE THE ASSAILANT A

HUG.

AND IF ANY OF YOU GET MAD AT A

JOKE AND DECIDE YOU WANT TO GET

JIGGY WITH IT -- IT'S NOT GOING

TO BE EASY.

A FEW OF MY FRIENDS YOU HAVE TO

GET THROUGH FIRST.

YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GET

THROUGH THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP,

ADONIS CREED, BEFORE YOU GET TO

ME.

YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO

BATTLE WITH MICHELLE YEOH BEFORE

YOU GET TO ME.

YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BEAT

"THE MANDALORIAN" BEFORE YOU GET

TO ME.

YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TANGLE

WITH SPIDER-MAN.

YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO -- YOU

ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TANGLE WITH

FABELMAN.

AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO

GO THROUGH MY RIGHT-HAND MAN,

GUILLERMO, IF YOU WANT TO GET UP

TO THIS STAGE.

OH, WAIT A MINUTE -- WELL, I

SHOULD SAY -- THE OTHER

GUILLERMO.

NOT DEL TORO.

YES, THAT ONE.

OKAY, THERE YOU GO.

I KNOW HE'S CUTE, BUT MAKE NO

MISTAKE, YOU EVEN SO MUCH AS

WAVE AT ME, THAT SWEET LITTLE

MAN WILL BEAT THE LYDIA TAR OUT

OF YOU.

NO NONSENSE TONIGHT.

WE HAVE NO TIME FOR SHENANIGANS.

THIS IS A CELEBRATION OF

EVERYONE HERE.

YOU TOLD US YOU WANTED ALL THE

CATEGORIES BACK IN AND WE

LISTENED.

THEY'RE ALL BACK IN.

THAT'S RIGHT.

WE WILL BE SHOWING ALL 23

CATEGORIES LIVE TONIGHT.

EXCEPT FOR ONE, EARLIER TONIGHT,

BEST PICTURE WENT TO "ALL QUIET

ON THE WESTERN FRONT."

CONGRATULATIONS TO GERMANY.

WE PUT ALL THE CATEGORIES BACK

IN BECAUSE THE MOVIE COMMUNITY

WANTED IT.

ALMOST AS MUCH AS THE TELEVISION

COMMUNITY DIDN'T WANT IT.

NO COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW LONG

THE SHOW IS.

I SAW YOUR MOVIES, NOW IT'S MY

TURN TO MAKE YOU SIT IN A

THEATER FOR 3 1/2 HOURS.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE DON'T WANT

TO HEAR YOU SPEAK.

WE WANT THE SPEECHES TO BE

MOVING, WE ALSO WANT TO KEEP IT

MOVING.

SPEECH GOES ON TOO LONG, THIS

YEAR, WE'RE NOT GOING TO PLAY

YOU OFFSTAGE, INSTEAD, WE HAVE A

GROUP OF PERFORMERS FROM THE

MOVIE "RRR," WHO IS GOING TO

DANCE YOU OFFSTAGE.

IF YOU GO TO LONG, WE'RE GOING

TO GONG SHOW YOU.

CLOTHING AND MYSELF, AND SHE

THEN SAID, THERE WAS A LONG

PAUSE, SHE SAID, YOU KNOW,

CHARLIE, I THINK IT TAKES A LOT

OF COURAGE TO MAKE A FILM.

AND I THINK WHEN YOU GO THERE,

THERE WILL BE A LOT OF VERY,

VERY BRAVE PEOPLE IN THE SAME

ROOM.

AND I LOOKED AT HER, I SAID,

YEAH, I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.

AND IT'S REALLY TRUE.

AND THE PEOPLE THAT I'VE WORKED

WITH, THEY'VE TOLERATED ME FOR

TWO YEARS.

AND THEY'RE BRAVE AND KIND AND

THANK YOU SO MUCH AND THANK YOU

TO MY MOM AND MY FAMILY AND MY

DOG WHO I'VE LEFT BEHIND WHO IS

ACTUALLY IN A HOTEL, I HATE TO

SAY THAT.

I WASN'T REALLY MEANT TO SAY

THAT.

ANYWAY, THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH

FOR THIS.

THANK YOU.

AROUND US.

MIGHT FIND THAT YOU CAN BE YOUR

OWN HERO, EVEN IF YOU FEEL

YOU CAN SHOW ACTUALLY WHERE WE

ALL -- HOW WE ALL CAN LIVE

TOGETHER, SO, YOU KNOW, BY

ALWAYS ARE DEEPLY TOUCHED AND

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE

IS SO MUCH EXPLOSIONS HAPPENING.

FROM NEW YORK.

YOUR WORK ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND

EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN IS AN

INSPIRATION.

I WAS WONDERING, DO YOU THINK

HARRY STYLES SPIT ON CHRIS PINE?

>> I ONLY TALK ABOUT PEACE.

>> YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT'S WHY

YOU'RE MALALA AND NOBODY ELSE

IS.

FARRELL.

YOU, HE SAID, COLIN, I LOVED

YOUR PERFORMANCE, MY QUESTION

IS, WHAT WERE YOU SAYING IN THE

AND CHECK OUT "SNL" LAST NIGHT

AND HE'LL HAVE A GOOD IDEA.

AWARD FOR DIRECTING, IDRIS ELBA

AND OSCAR WINNER NICOLE KIDMAN.

>> AT THE VERY FIRST OSCARS, TWO

AWARDS WERE PRESENTED FOR

DIRECTING.

ONE FOR COMEDY AND ONE FOR

DRAMA.

BUT THE FOLLOWING YEAR, THE

DIRECTING AWARDS WERE COMBINED

TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE GENRE OF

THE MOVIE ISN'T WHAT MATTERS

MOST, BUT RATHER, THE VISION AND

SKILL OF THE FILMMAKER BRINGING

THE STORY TO THE BIG SCREEN.

>> THE MARK OF A CINEMATIC

GENIUS IS TO CRAFT AN EXPERIENCE

THAT NOT ONLY ENTERTAINS US FOR

A FEW HOURS, BUT ALSO STAYS WITH

US FOR A LIFETIME AND REMINDS US

WHY WE FELL IN LOVE WITH THE

MOVIES.

HERE ARE THE NOMINEES FOR

ACHIEVEMENT IN DIRECTING.

SPECIFICALLY MY MOM AND DAD, KEN

SQUASHING MY CREATIVITY WHEN I

WAS MAKING DISTURBING HORROR

FILMS OR PERVERTED COMEDY FILMS

OR DRESSING IN DRAG AS A KID,

WHICH IS A THREAT TO NOBODY.

AND -- YEAH, THANK YOU TO

EVERYBODY WHO WORKED ON OUR

MOVIE.

>> I KNOW EVERY DIRECTOR AGREES

WITH ME WHEN I SAY A DIRECTOR IS

NOTHING WITHOUT THEIR INCREDIBLE

CAST AND CREW.

THIS IS MY FAMILY, MY FRIENDS.

IF OUR MOVIE HAS GREATNESS AND

GENIUS, IT'S ONLY BECAUSE THEY

HAVE GREATNESS AND GENIUS

FLOWING THROUGH THEIR HEARTS AND

SOULS AND MINDS AND GAVE THAT

PRECIOUS GIFT TO OUR FILM.

THE WORLD IS OPENING UP TO THE

FACT THAT GENIUS DOES NOT STEM

FROM INDIVIDUALS LIKE US ON

STAGE, BUT RATHER GENIUS EMERGES

FROM THE COLLECTIVE.

W ARE ALL PRODUCTS OF OUR

CONTEXT.

WE ARE ALL DESCENDANTS OF

SOMETHING AND SOMEONE AND I WANT

TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY CONTEXT, MY

IMMIGRANT PARENTS, MY FATHER,

WHO FELL IN LOVE WITH MOVIES,

BECAUSE HE NEEDED TO ESCAPE THE

WORLD AND PASSED THAT LOVE TO

ME.

MY MOTHER, WHO WANTED TO BE A

DANCER, AN ACTOR, A SINGER,

COULD NOT AFFORD THE LUXURY OF

THAT LIFE PATH AND GAVE IT TO

ME.

MY INCREDIBLE BROTHERS AND

SISTERS WHO HELPED ME SURVIVE

THE CHAOS OF CHILDHOOD.

MY FRIENDS WHO HIGH SCHOOL

WHO -- SORRY, I'M GOING TO KEEP

GOING.

THE RCCC, YOU TAUGHT ME THE

LIBERATING FREEDOM OF CREATIVITY

AND JOY.

MY INCREDIBLE SON GIO, YOU

REARRANGE MY DNA EVERY DAY, IT'S

AWFUL AND BEAUTIFUL AT THE SAME

TIME.

IF YOU EVER WATCH THIS, I HOPE

YOU KNOW THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER

HAVE TO LIVE UP TO THE STANDARD,

THIS IS NOT NORMAL.

THIS IS KIND OF CRAZY.

I WILL LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT.

I -- AND LASTLY, I WANT TO GO

BACK TO MY ORIGINAL POINT, THERE

IS GREATNESS IN EVERY PERSON.

DOESN'T MATTER WHO THEY ARE.

YOU HAVE A GENIUS THAT IS

WAITING TO ERUPT.

YOU JUST NEED TO FIND THE RIGHT

PEOPLE TO UNLOCK THAT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE

WHO HAS UNLOCKED MY GENIUS.

THIS MEANS SO MUCH TO US.
