John Cena highlighted the significance of costumes by opting not to wear one. The WWE star-turned-actor was called onto the stage by host Jimmy Kimmel for a segment in which Cena was meant to appear nude, a reference to the 1974 Oscars when a male streaker disrupted the event.

However, Cena decided against it and informed host Jimmy Kimmel that he chose not to proceed with the segment at the last minute, resulting in the audience's continuous laughter.

“The male body is not a joke,” Cena told Kimmel. To which the host quipped, “Mine is.”

Cena appeared on the Oscars 2024 stage with an oversized envelope strategically placed over his midsection eventually made his way to center stage but then encountered a slight hiccup – he couldn't open the envelope.

“Costumes, they are so important,” Cena said. “Maybe the most important thing there is.”

'Poor Things' won Oscar for Best Costume Design. The film became the first multiple Oscar winner of the night with back-to-back-to-back wins for hair and makeup, production design and costumes. The three victories have already made it a big night for Yorgos Lanthimos’ film, with many big nominations to come, including Best Director for him and Best Actress for Emma Stone.
