Fans Are Over The Moon About These 3 Exciting Actor Reunions At The 2024 Oscars

Summary:

• The 96th Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California on March 10, 2024.
• In the lead-up to the show and during the actual ceremony, there were several sightings of reunions between thespians who famously acted with (and, in some cases, against) each other in previous film projects.
• Internet audiences have been quick to catch on to the trend, leading to specific highlights involving reunited stars going viral.

From Billie Eilish’s show-stopping song number to Tim Robbins’s line-flubbing, Oscar viewers have certainly had their share of emotion-charged moments this year.

While the on-scene drama definitely took the spotlight, an even greater attraction for some was the opportunity to see a few familiar faces together, reunited after famous co-starring turns in modern film classics.

Sharing is caring, as they say. Let’s take a look at some of these memorable reunions.

Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone

One of the high spots of the evening was undoubtedly taken by Best Actor nominee Ryan Gosling, who brought the house down with his energetic live performance of “I’m Just Ken” from the Barbie film adaptation.

Gosling got his colleagues in the audience to sing along while going up to the stage. In a meaningful gesture, the La-La-Land star specifically passed the mic to his former co-star Emma Stone at one point. Stone picked up the tune and sang a snippet of the song with gusto.

This moment has moved a lot of fans, who are gushing on social media about the continued chemistry between the pair from La-La-Land. Movie magic, indeed.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny De Vito and Michael Keaton

The duo of Schwarzenegger and De Vito, who formed a side-splitting double act in the film Twins, made a surprise onstage appearance to present the visually inclined Oscar-nominated films.

While going through their introductory routine, the two bonded over having played defeated antagonists in the original Batman film series and offered the ever-present Michael Keaton, who originated the role of the Caped Crusader in those movies, to settle the score by duking it out while in character.

In a show of good sportsmanship, Keaton wordlessly took the challenge and invited Schwarzenegger and De Vito to bring it on. The fans had a field day with this one.

Jodie Foster and Robert De Niro

Last but not least comes the more subtle reunion between the two iconic actors who had crossed paths in Martin Scorcese’s Taxi Driver. Their friendly behind-the-scenes embrace caused much rejoicing among fans.

The two had previously rekindled their ties with the movie when attending a re-screening at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2016. We’re cheering you on, legends.
