Oscar 2026: highlights of the film Awards

Actress Teyana Taylor faced rude security behavior after the Oscar ceremony, Leonardo DiCaprio invented a new meme, the organizers tried to attract the attention of zoomers, and Timothy Chalamet received a lot of attention for his words about ballet and opera. All the details about the events from the Oscar ceremony are in the Izvestia material.

Details of the security incident

The incident occurred in Los Angeles immediately after the end of the live broadcast of the Academy Awards. Teyana Taylor wanted to return to the stage with her co-stars in the movie "Battle after Battle" and the co-director of Warner Bros. Pam Abdi took a photo together, but the guard tried to block her way.

Eyewitnesses told the online tabloid TMZ that the guard used physical force, trying to stop the actress on the stairs. He blocked her passage to the stage with his body and pushed her away, not allowing her to go to the rest of the actors.

On the video that spread online, Taylor's emotional reaction can be heard, accusing the man of assault. She called his act rude and unacceptable, and also demanded not to raise his hand against the woman.

"He literally pushed me," she told the people around her.

According to eyewitnesses, the situation escalated very quickly, as the guard continued to control access to the stage. At one point, he also asked Taylor to apologize to him.

DiCaprio has become the king of memes

During the introduction, the host, American comedian Conan O'Brien addressed Leonardo DiCaprio, calling him the "king of memes." The presenter suggested that the artist come up with and demonstrate a new image that would become popular on the Internet.

DiCaprio immediately responded to the request and made a comical grimace, which caused laughter from those present. The organizers of the broadcast put an ironic caption on the screen: "That feeling when you didn't agree to it." At the moment, the picture is actively being distributed by users of social networks.

Jokes about opera and ballet

The presenter also touched on the recent scandal surrounding actor Timothy Chalamet. He had previously criticized ballet and opera, saying that these arts had lost popularity. Chalamet's words provoked a wave of discontent among the professional community.

O'Brien joked on the air about the possible consequences of this statement. He attributed the increased security measures at the Oscars to the discontent of classical artists.

"Security measures are extremely strict tonight. I was told that there are concerns about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities," O'Brien said.

Experiments for zoomers

To attract the attention of a young audience, the organizers took an unconventional step. During the broadcast, the screen was split in half, and Subway Surfers gameplay was launched on one of the parts.

This technique is typical for social media content aimed at members of the zoomer and alpha generation. It is believed that this format helps to maintain the concentration of viewers accustomed to the high dynamics of the video.

O'Brien commented on what was happening on the screen in a specific manner. The presenter read out the prepared text in the so-called "brainrot style" over the gameplay broadcast.
