For many viewers at home, the most talked-about night in Hollywood was also the conclusion of the nearly year-long Barbenheimer saga.

Fans enjoyed various moments between the cast of the “Barbie” Movie such as Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie holding each others hands as well as the standing ovation for Billie Eilish and Finneas’ performance of the song “What Was I Made For” from “Barbie.” The two ended up winning the award for best original song, making Eilish the youngest person to win an Oscar twice at just 22 years old.

Jimmy Kimmel returned to host the Oscars for a fourth time, which generally seemed to go over well (although the host read aloud a social media post from former President Donald Trump that was less than impressed).

One popular element was having past winners present the awards together. Each nominee got their own moment from previous stars who knew the honor of being nominated.

Fans were thrilled to see Messi the border collie in attendance during the 96th Academy Awards.

Although it’s possible that it was not in fact the same dog that played Snoop in “Anatomy of a Fall,” but rather a look a like according to behind the scenes video.

Regardless, viewers were thrilled to see whoever it was clapping when the cameras cut to him.

“Godzilla Minus One” won for best visual effects and brought their Godzilla action figures onstage with them.

John Cena made an ironic entrance to present the award for best costumes, with no costume in sight.

The pairing of Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt had many viewers eagerly looking forward to the duo’s upcoming film “The Fall Guy” because of the pair’s chemistry.

Gosling’s performance of “I’m Just Ken” lived up to the hype and proved to be a fan favorite of the night. Fans also loved the genuine reactions of Robbie and Eilish trying to hold in their laughter.

As if it wasn’t star-studded enough with the various Kens from the film, Gosling out did himself by bringing out Guns N’ Roses’ guitarist Slash.

There was also a quick “La La Land” reunion with fellow nominee Emma Stone.

Stone went on to win for best actress. Before she started her speech she informed the audience that her dress had broke, which she assumed happened during Gosling’s performance of “I’m Just Ken.”

Kimmel made a joke about Stone’s previous win for “La La Land” asking someone to tear up the card with her win on it to prevent further confusion. In 2017 the film was announced the winner for Best Picture only to be discovered after the cast and crew took the stage the win actually went to “Moonlight.”

Other fan favorites from the night including “American Fiction”’s writer Cord Jefferson’s win for best adapted screenplay and 12-year-old Porche Brinker taking the stage after “The Last Repair Shop” won for best documentary short.
