The 96th Academy Awards occurred on March 10, 2023, at the iconic Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles. Hosted by the seasoned television personality Jimmy Kimmel, it marked his fourth time hosting the Oscars and second consecutive stint. While the event was marred initially by protests caused by pro-Palestine sympathisers, which caused a delay in the beginning, the rest of the event went mostly without a glitch. And, of course, if there were two scene-stealers, they would be Ryan Gosling and his performance of "I am Just Ken", and Anatomy of a Fall's Messi the Dog.
